FOR many who know him, Dudy Mayanto always appears fresh and full of energy. Though the years continue to pass, his aura seems untouched by time. So, what’s his secret? With his signature smile, Dudy reveals a simple key: don’t push yourself too hard. In Javanese, the term ngoyo means forcing oneself beyond one’s limits.
“I live life as it comes, without trying to force anything beyond my capacity,” he said. This principle has kept him away from excessive stress—often the main trigger of premature aging.
Another secret: he chooses not to be greedy. Whatever comes his way, he accepts as a blessing from God.
“If we can be grateful, our hearts naturally feel lighter. And when the heart is light, the face will shine too,” he explained.
Known as an easy-going figure, Dudy works with dedication but enjoys life with balance. He avoids burdening himself with endless ambitions, choosing instead to focus on how his presence can benefit others.
For him, the secret to staying young is not just about exercise or diet. More importantly, it’s about keeping the heart spacious and the mind positive.
“If we can relax, accept life, and continue to share with others, our age may increase—but our soul will always stay young,” he concluded.**
