I'm still learning, you know. At 80, I feel there is a lot I don't know.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't know how to deal with being 80.
We treat old people so badly. There is nothing easy about 80.
I don't feel any different than I did when I was 40. But I realize mathematically, I'm equidistant between that and 80. I'll keep doing this for a while, but I'm not going to be one of these people who hang on just for the sake of being on the air.
I'm an old man of 73, and I've been around a long time. If I don't know something by now, I probably never will.
Now that I near 80, I realize with wistful pleasure that on many occasions I was 10, 20, 40, even 50 years ahead of my time.
I really feel better about aging at the age of 86 than I did at 70.
And now, I feel at 85, I really feel that I'm just ready to start.
I'm approaching 70. Unfortunately, from the wrong direction.
By the time you're eighty years old you've learned everything. You only have to remember it.
Please know that being 80 is not a scary thing. When you're 80, your life is much freer.
