Q: What is your physical age and your mental age?

The wife told me to act my age
this got me thinking about what it was like when I was younger.
the mind is still willing but the body cant always back it up.
so I would say 44yrs and somewhere between 16 and 20 yrs on occation
and the odd 2yrs moment of course

Your physical age can be how much in shape you are. Many people in their 50's to 60's say they feel like they are in their 30's just because they are in good shape. The mental age could be how smart one thinks of themselves.

Michael Thomas... we missed you and your 4 personalities. None of them have been around. We figured Santa Claus finally gave you the cute little white jacket and whisked you off to the padded room you and your pals so richly deserved!

Age is relative.  I am actually 37, but the locals keep thinking I am 30, so I will go with that!!  
But I often think I am like 24 in China....maybe it's culture...maybe it's my libido.  surprise

To me, physical age is how many years since birth.  And mental age is how I feel and act, it has no relation what so ever with how smart I am, my IQ or my degree of intelligence.

But waht else can you expect of Mattaya, you offered him the opportunity of 4 points, and he took it, even if his answer was bologne.

My physical age is 68, and my mental age is somewhere in the 40's.  I have excellent health, a sharp mind, a head full of hair, still brown, no white.  I still play volleyball, softball, football (soccer) and swim every chance I get.  I can climb six or seven flights of stairs without dragging my tongue on the floor, and have never used Viagra.  So, what age does that makes me? 

philbravery:

yeahh your right about him In hyne sight it was pretty obvious what his mental age is funny thing thow he was so exited about the 4 points he forgot to give a thumbs down

It is not polite to ask a woman her age Wink

Depending on the circumstances, mentally I can be 12, 18, 30, 50, 70....

Physically, I'm 41.
Fortunately I do not look 41. I like to play hide the teacher with my freshman and just blend into the class the first day. I've heard very interesting things about myself that way.

As I like to say - my body is made from the dust of stars that died billions of years ago... my soul has been around since before creation.. .anything else is irrelevant.

(to which, most ppl say "OMG, you're that old!!" Tongue)

Anyway, this body has managed to survive (ever decreasingly well) forty...two?? years (IIRC).

Mentally... hmmm - as the others have all said - sometimes 14, sometimes 20, sometimes 80...  eitherway, 'not my age' - other than being responsible, mature and sensible (sometimes).

It annoys me when the only thing a person looks at is a number to decide things about you (too old, too young, etc etc)

Forward Question

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in releva
A:In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in relevance depending on the context and location. Here's a breakdown of each aspect:a) Getting the teaching job: Teaching certificates can certainly enhance your chances of securing a teaching position, especially in formal educational settings such as schools and language institutions. Many employers prefer candidates who have undergone specific training in pedagogy and instructional techniques, which these certificates often provide. However, other factors such as experience, references, and the demand for teachers in a particular area also play significant roles in the hiring process.b) Getting a higher salary than your uncertified competitors: In some cases, holding a teaching certificate can indeed lead to a higher salary compared to uncertified competitors. Many educational institutions have structured salary scales that take into account factors such as level of education, years of experience, and additional certifications. Holding a teaching certificate may place you in a higher salary bracket or make you eligible for certain salary incentives or bonuses. However, this can vary widely depending on the specific policies of the institution or organization.c) Getting promotions: Teaching certificates can be beneficial for career advancement and securing promotions within the field of education. They demonstrate a commitment to professional development and mastery of teaching skills, which are qualities that many employers value when considering candidates for leadership positions or administrative roles. Additionally, some promotions may require specific certifications or qualifications, making holding a teaching certificate essential for advancement in certain cases.Regarding which certificate yields better results, it largely depends on the specific requirements of the job market and the educational context in which you intend to work. For example:A Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) is often highly regarded in formal school settings and can be advantageous for those seeking positions in primary or secondary education.Montessori certification is valuable for individuals interested in working in Montessori schools or implementing Montessori principles in their teaching approach.A Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate is particularly relevant for those seeking to teach English to non-native speakers in international contexts or language schools.Ultimately, the best certificate for you will depend on your career goals, the specific requirements of the positions you're interested in, and the preferences of potential employers in your target job market. It's essential to research the requirements and preferences of employers in your desired field and tailor your qualifications accordingly. -- ruqaiya761
