Answer:selection, optimization and compensation characteristics

Explanation:

Selection refers to how a person manages to focus their energy on just those goals that are crucial.

Optimization refers to taking focused actions and time in order to actual achieve those goals, grabbing opportunity in the right time and being persistent towards achieving those particular goals using your existing skills or working towards achieving new skills.

Compensation means one is able to carry on and find ways to carry on eventhough they might have had some things that they have lost, they find way to make up for those losses; compensate for them.

As a result some people as they get older will find means to compensate for the advantages brought by aging in order for them to continue living their life and fulfilling certain things still.

The will select what they can still do and optimize their opportunity.
