It is a great honour to reach at the age of sixty. To celebrate six decades in life is truly a great opportunity. Life is a pilgrimage. Life begins from childhood, from childhood to teenage, from teenage to young adult, from young adult to adult, from adult to senior adulthood. To reach the stage of senior adulthood demands great respect. It demands great honour. It is a merit of human dignity. It is a stage of worthiness. It is a stage of noble character. It is a stage of humbleness to receive a double portion of long life. A long life that comes from Above to live longer and to create a positive legacy for generations to come. To reach at age of sixty means one is growing naturally. The body is adopted with Nature. The mind is filled with wisdom and a deeper understanding of life. To live longer is not the competition, but to deliver and to pass through every stage successfully. Reaching at the age of sixty and beyond is just that. It is an indication that one has been successful walked on the road of life peaceful, humbly and carefully with all challenges in life. The age of sixty is truly gratefulness indeed. The greatest achievements are long life and therefore, reaching the age of sixty is an incredible stage in life to be grateful for what the six decades have brought in one’s life. It is not only that one can be grateful to self, but others will be very grateful to be part of the life of the one reaching at the age of sixty.

To reach the destination of sixty years is a great celebration that causes others to be grateful and to be part of life that worths creating a legacy. The age of sixty is a higher platform for one’s life to speak to many. It is a ladder that once one has started climbing up, one cannot climb down. The ladder goes up higher and higher until one reaches the final end of the ladder. Whoever has reached the sixtieth birthday, has really made a history that demands a recommendation and honour for celebrating a great anniversary in life. A senior is a senior because the ladder of destiny is not by going up and coming down through the ladder. As one goes up higher and higher the two parallel side pieces holding the ladder for climbing comes off and no turning back but forward march. It is unheard of that one has reached the age of sixty and then becoming a teenager. To reach the age of sixty is a great privilege of gratefulness. It is a stage of useful purpose to encourage others to understand the path of their destinies. To climb the ladder in childhood, to climb the ladder in teenage, to climb the ladder in young adulthood, then the ladder of adulthood, and to the ladder of senior adulthood at age of sixty is an unbelievable destiny pilgrimage to be celebrated. The age of sixty is an interesting stage in life. It causes others the be interested in building their lives by looking after themselves well to reach the age of sixty and beyond. To reach such a high level in life is true happiness in destiny. To reach such a high level in life is the beauty of life destiny. To reach such a high level is a great determination of gratefulness. It is a wonderful privilege to reach the age of sixty to inspire many. What an honour for others to be part of the sixtieth birthday and one to be part of lives that show gratefulness for all to live happily.
