Studies at Duke University’s Center of Aging and Human Development have clearly shown that people who devote their lives to thinking of others first instead of living for themselves will renew their strength and retard wasting away spiritually and physically. Here are some examples of people whose giving to others first produced a robust life:
v At 93, George Bernard Shaw wrote the play, Farfetched Fables
v At 90, Pablo Picasso was producing drawings and engravings
v At 89, Mary Baker Eddy directed the Christian Science Church
v At 89, Bob Hope finished a world tour for the USO
v At 89, Albert Schweitzer headed a hospital in Africa
v At 82, Winston Churchill wrote A History of the English Speaking Peoples
