Although I’m 60 next February, age doesn’t worry me. The way I see it, two things are certain: we’re born, and we die. But it’s what we do in the middle that matters. Once you hit 50, you cross the ridge and there’s more behind you than in front, so make the best of it.
Stay active in body and mind. Life is precious – all of it. Luckily, our generation is redefining age. When I was young, I thought hitting 60 would be all beige jackets and carpet slippers. Now, at weekends, I see people on bikes and most of them are over 40. We are a generation of ‘doers’ and I plan to keep on doing. I intend to wear out, not fade out.
