To:\u00a0 The Great Leaders Who Have a Passion for Continuous Learning<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist, in a recent TV broadcast, \u201cTime\u201d, discusses how the knowledge of time affects human existence. In the concluding segment he introduces Dr. Aubrey De Grey, British researcher on aging, who states that with current work \u201caging can be postponed indefinitely fairly soon.\u201d\u00a0 With this thought Kaka asks us to imagine a time in the future when an elixir is discovered that will \u201ckeep you young forever.\u201d The following are the responses from people who were asked if they would drink the elixir from the fountain of youth.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI could do with a little more time; but 200 years or a hundred years is a pretty long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI am happy right now.\u00a0 So, yes, I guess I would drink this elixir of life.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think life would become mundane. I think human emotions would suffer profoundly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSure!\u00a0 Absolutely! I like life and I would be happy to live an awful lot more of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cToo sad when all my loved one pass; too sad when my world disappears.\u00a0 Already I\u2019m sick of everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot saying that I wouldn\u2019t, but I\u2019d need to think very carefully about it.\u00a0 I\u2019d have to think back to what my best age was, now that I have reached this age.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be so boring to live forever.\u00a0 It would be awful I think.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it would be great if everyone had to live with the consequences of their actions.\u00a0 I think the problem is humans dies too soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d rather die. Really!\u00a0 Yeah, I think that makes life so worthy is that in the end we die, we all do.\u00a0 This is what makes it so extraordinary.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The responses offer different perspectives that touch both ends of the spectrum \u2013 from the \u2018awful\u2019 to the \u2018absolutely.\u2019 \u00a0We all see life differently.\u00a0 What differentiates the great leaders is the desire to find their greatest potential \u2013 whatever their age.\u00a0 And they have learned that they have infinite possibilities that continue to grow them and bring youth to their life.\u00a0 The question to you is:\u00a0 would you drink from the fountain of youth?\u00a0 Before you answer, read the words of Sophia Loren, Italian film actress: \u201cThere is a fountain of youth: it is in your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love.\u00a0 When you learn to tap this source , you will truly have defeated age.\u201d \u00a0Remember always the words of Frank Lloyd Wright, architect and author: \u201cThe longer I live the more beautiful life becomes.\u201d\u00a0 Enjoy this magnificent journey and serve others that they may find its magnificence also.<\/p>\n

Have a beautiful day and a fantastic week!!!<\/p>\n
