Take A Pic Round 20 - Old is Gold

in CCC4 years ago (edited)



There is a saying that "Old is gold". And I do agree with the saying.
When you take time to listen to your grandparents, your parents or elderly people, you will notice how wise their words are and how priceless their stories and advice are. Mainly because of what they have been through and their life experiences that taught them life lessons that one cannot learn in classrooms.
Ourselves included, as we get older, we think differently and we do get wiser.

Even for material things, some, the older they are, the more valuable they become, if they are taken care well. Which is why we have collectors.
If you have a been to flea markets or shops that sells antiques and old items, the items can get really expensive, way more than what they were paid for in their days. Sometimes people call these items as a "collector's item".

As I looked around my home, the item that came to my mind was the stamp album:

These stamps were collected since many years ago, with some dated 1950s or even earlier.


Stamp collection is a precious hobby. Each stamp has its story and history. It could be letters from a penpal or an exchange with friends from another country.


Or a gift from a relative who has traveled far.


Stamps are precious, not just for its worth, but for the stories they tell as well and the memories they each hold.


Stamps are beautiful too, with its unique works of art and what they each signify.


They open our minds to the many events in the world and lets us know what they are, events and objects that matter to a country:


It is nice to look at these stamps every now and then, to reminisce the days of collecting them, when each stamp is carefully inserted into its slot.

Old is Gold indeed.
