## 105-Year-Old Kim Hyung-suk Shares Wisdom on Aging Gracefully

Kim Hyung-suk, the world's oldest living male author, celebrated his 105th birthday recently and has shared his insights on achieving a long and fulfilling life. Hailing from South Korea, he is not only a respected philosopher but also a living testament to the benefits of emotional resilience and self-nurturing.

In a profound reflection on longevity, Kim emphasizes the importance of maintaining a positive outlook and healthy emotional habits. "They didn't speak ill of others, and they didn't lose their temper. Criticising or losing one's temper is a sign of emotional fragility... The mind itself never ages. Life is about nurturing yourself, about allowing the heart to grow," he remarked. This perspective advocates for a lifestyle grounded in kindness, patience, and emotional strength, virtues that Kim attributes to his advanced age.

Kim’s life journey has inspired many, highlighting that mental fortitude and emotional wellness are fundamental components of health. As he continues to share his philosophy, his advice resonates not only for those seeking longevity but for anyone striving to lead a balanced life.
