Lee Kuan Yew on Aging

Got this article from somebody in my mail that I would love to share with. Article on aging by Lee Kuan Yew.

MY CONCERN today is, what is it I can tell you which can add to your knowledge about ageing and what ageing societies can do.

You know more about this subject than I do. A lot of it is out in the media, Internet and books. So I thought the best way would be to take a personal standpoint and tell you how I approach this question of ageing.If I cast my mind back, I can see turning points in my physical and mental health. You know, when you’re young, I didn’t bother, I assumed good health was God-given and would always be there. When I was about – ‘57 that was – I was about 34, we were competing in elections, and I was really fond of drinking beer and smoking.

Rice anyone?!!

Condoleezza Rice is now looking for love

From Daily Mail UK Online,

Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has revealed she's looking for love.
With masses of free time suddenly on her hands, President Bush's former ally says she plans to focus more on finding romance.
Like so many women in high-flying careers, Ms Rice found herself having to choose between her personal life and her demanding role as Bush's right-hand woman.
For four years, her personal life had to come a distant second - but she is now ready to concentrate on herself.


Ms Rice, 54, has visited 84 countries and travelled a million miles over the years - never once pausing to concentrate on that special someone.
But that could all change as she takes a step back and returns to lecturing students at Stanford University, in California.
Appearing on U.S. morning chat show The View, hosted by Whoopi Goldberg, she said: 'People say you work so hard and you've dedicated so much to your career that you're really shorting your personal life, but the truth of the matter is that I've never found anyone I wanted to marry.
'It doesn't mean I won't, but I didn't - yet.' .. MORE

Kesian. The price that one has to pay in pursue of one's ambition ( for Rice.., it was national duty!). Anyway, wishing Rice all the best.
