Default Re: In my prime

I think you hit different primes at different times.

Physical prime - teens or twenties (exception being guys that are slobs but start working out later in life)

Mental prime - twenties (but can be maintained, depending on your job. If it's lively, mentally challenging and stimulating, you'll maintain that prime, I'd say)

Emotional prime - This varies wildly, and really depends on the sort of person you are, who you're with, family, kids etc etc Generally, the older you get, the better it is, up to maybe physical abilities start to fade. Maybe.

'Wisdom' prime - I think this really continues to grow with age, or you just haven't got it at all (there's lotsa older people with none at all, I'm sure)

There's also a prime time where your experience powerfully combines with your job/life, and I'd say that's probably thirties/forties.


This is all off the top of my head, and I reserve the right to contradict myself, and still be understood.
