Before you are old, attend as many funerals as you can bear, and listen. Nobody talks about the departed’s achievements. The only thing people will remember is what kind of person you were while you were achieving.

I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid to grow up. It seems the older the men get, the younger their new wives get.
The only way to keep improving is to keep pushing yourself.
