Satchel Paige Principle
Secret to Youth?
Date: 6/1/2005 1:28:23 PM ( 19 y ) ... viewed 1683 times A nutritious diet and a style of life that regularly raises some physical and mental sweat: Thos are your staunchest allies in the battle against aging. But there's something else. It's the all important to long-lasting youthfulness, and it's something you can control: your view of yourself. Satchel Paige, the great wit of baseball once asked,"How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?" My Grandmother, when she was in her 80's , would have told you without hesitation, "about 16."
She thought of herself as a young person, and that thought added lightness to her step that belied her years.
My grandmother, too, would have understood the advice of a Midwestern woman who told a Gallup pollster in search of the secrets of a long life: "Don't be frustrated", she said. "All my life I cried when it was time to cry, I laughed when it was time to laugh, and I sang whenit was time to sing." The good lady, the pollsters reported was "still strikingly attractive at 102".
Who could doubt that a person's outlook on life has the power to make the years rest lightly at any age? A fresh receptive spirit and a healthy curiosity can do more to reverse the aging process that 10 tons of Aetherial Ambrosial Quintessence. Its a youth-bestowing gift that's yours for the taking.
