Stages of human life

The Four Ages of Man – William Butler Yeats

He with body waged a fight,
But body won; it walks upright,
Then he struggled with the heart;
Innocent and peace depart.
Then he struggled with the mind;
His proud heart he left behind.
Now his war on God begin;
At stroke of midnight God shall win
This poem is from William Butler Yeats entitled “The Four Ages of Man” and he stated in those poem that there are 4 stages of life. But according to Shakespeare in “As You Like It”, he said that there are 7 stages of human life. But as for me, every person have different view or perception of human life. I feel that no matter how many stages of human life, the most important thing is that how people appereciate their life and use all the memont that they have wisely. And the most imporant thing is that, how we numberd our stage of life. It is because, we as a human being cannot do all of the things in just one time. We don’t even khow when our life here will end, don’t know when we are going to be dead, when this this world is going to end or over and lots more to think about. Our life is so short short, so don’ t waste it. Even though we have planned so many things to do in our life, don’t ever assume that we can make it but just pray for God and try our best. As a conclusion, no matter how many stages that our life have, just appreciate and enjoy your life.
