Studies at Duke University’s Center of Aging and Human
Development have clearly shown that people who devote their lives to service
and action slow the aging process. Here are some examples:
At
93, George Bernard Shaw wrote the play, Farfetched Fables
At
90, Pablo Picasso was producing drawings and engravingsAt 89, Mary Baker Eddy directed the Christian Science Church
At
89, Bob Hope finished a world tour for the USO
At
89, Albert Schweitzer headed a hospital in Africa
At
82, Winston Churchill wrote A History of the English Speaking Peoples
At
81, Goethe finished his play, Faust
How inspiring. How can we think about retirement at the ripe young age we are! Soo, I'll keep on working and serving and growing and exercising my mind, my body, and my soul.
