A man past statistical life expectancy rejects the idea that aging means decline. At 35 he thought his life was half over; now he feels just beginning, with a surge of great ideas and a massive agenda for the next 20 years.

You know the thing that's surprising to me? I never expected. I always had. You have a very dull view of old age. I remember when I was 35 thinking, hey, my life's halfway over. I've achieved nothing. So now, by that standard, I'm already over my life expectancy, and I'm only just getting started. Old age is nothing like what it was supposed to be, and my mind is still fertile. I've had more, you know, great ideas in the last couple of years than I have for a long time. So it's kind of. It's. It's. I don't think people just accept aging as something that's. That you're going to decline, you're going to slow down, you're going to become slow, and you're going to become sad. Rubbish. It's how you live that matters. I got a lot to do in the next 20 years. I've got really, really a lot to do. And I intend to live every minute of that the best I can. And then when God takes me, well, that's the end of it. But all the same, I intend to keep on till the end.
