To be elderly is not about to reach a hundred years old, but the way in which we have lived all those years. It is about feeling proud of ourselves when we were looking back and see what we had done with our children and what they have done with theirs.
To be elderly is not only a matter of being interviewed for the local news reporter because of our age, but because of what we can teach others so that they can be as good as us, feeling proud when they become elderly people, too.
“Men do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing.”
Wendell Holmes
