This is a great mind puzzler essay about the mind set in an age where baby boomers are retiring en mass, giving priority to preventing Alzheimer’s.
My best example of this, is my parents. My mother was a centenarian who lived without major illness all her life, while my dad died at 83 from cancer, although he also had dementia. If often wondered what made the difference? They were both avid readers, although my mum could read a book in three days, whilst my dad took weeks. My mum read non-fiction history of the Royal families of Europe, whilst my dad stuck to fiction. My mum had great intuition and could tell at first glance which of my friends were good for me or not, and always stuck with that first impression, and she was bilingual, always singing in her Gaelic mother tongue. She also had a rich inner life from her faith, but most of all her healthy habits of knitting and crochet and making her own cloths, which she learned in the Great Depression and through two world wars, gave her g to he mental fortitude to become a centenarian. Her book; “Pressure is a privilege”, Billi Jean King, reminds us that tennis is a “mindset as well as a skill-set, which all the greats have mastered. She could well be talking about life itself.

Thanks, Geoffrey.
Life is a mindset to develop, what a wonderful idea!
