[ # ] When is someone too old?
July 12th, 2007 under Useless opinions

Today there was an other story from my favorite list “To a Better day” called: “Too Old?”, that I feel like mentioning in here. Would also like to know what do you think in regards. When is a person too old? There are days when I feel like 100 years old and there are many more that I feel like 22. What is the reason for feeling “too old” and does it has to do with being tired of your lifestyle, or stressed from your work, or from your family members? Come on people, share your thoughts finally, would you please? Talk to you soon and thanks for visiting :)

When asked how it was that she has lived so long,
a 91-year-old woman replied with a smile, “I think
God is testing the patience of my relatives.”

When is “too old”? At what age do we give up? At
100, Grandma Moses was still painting, and even
Titian painted “Battle of Lepants” when he was 98.

At 93, George Bernard Shaw wrote Far­fetched
Fables.

At 91, Eamon de Valera served as presi­dent of
Ireland.

At 90, Pablo Picasso still drew and en­graved.

At 89, Arthur Rubinstein gave one of his great­est
recitals in New York’s Carnegie Hall, and Pablo
Casals, at 88, still performed cello concerts.

At 82, Winston Churchill wrote the four-volume
work, A History of the Eng­lish-Speaking Peoples,
Leo Tolstoy completed I Can­not Be Silent, and
Goethe, at the same age, fin­ished Faust.

At 81, Benjamin Franklin produced the diplomacy
which led to the adoption of the U.S. Constitution.

When are you “too old”? Only on the day when
you truly have nothing left to give. The good news
is: that day only arrives when you choose.
