Barbara Sher on the
Issue of Age

So how do you handle the issue of age? My advice is, forget it. When it comes to others or to yourself, pay attention to experience, intelligence, imagination, talent, energy, decency, kindness--the things that really matter in any human being--and ignore age entirely. It's irrelevant, and... incomprehensible."

What I regret is not the occasions on which I have suffered, or made
a fool of myself... I regret rather the occasions on which I could have said
'Yes' to life, and in fact said 'No.' ....it is the missed opportunities...
that worry my conscience – the sins of omission rather than of
commission. The most tragic thing in life would be to lie on one's
death-bed thinking of all the things one had not done, the experiences
one had not had, but would have liked to. So if I had to push
people at all, I should try to push them into fuller lives, to persuade
them to say 'Yes' to life and not to say 'No.' ...we only have
one life; and we might as well make the most of it.

John Wilson, quoted in a speech by Richard Bolles,
author of What Color is Your Parachute?
