Check Out "The Gathering of the Wisdom People" Exhibit

From Mark Stibich, Ph.D., About.com Guide   July 15, 2010

Regardless of your age, you will feel like you have made some new friends - and learned something - when you visit the online exhibit of "The Gathering of the Wisdom People."

This is a collection of photographs and stories of 8 people (the actual exhibit has 18 people) that are in their 90s now. They share their stories, as well as some lovely advice. My favorite comes from Texan Mary Trejo, age 92, who says (in response to the question "What's the most important thing about life?":

"...If there's a lot of love, then you always make things go. Now these modern young people, they don't go like that. That's an old fashioned idea that we used to live."

I like it. You will, too.

Healthy peoples always seem to look happy and health is one of the key for success.Health is not only wealth it can make every people to live longer.The value of health is only known when we had suffered disease.We don`t like pain,fever and all disturbance of illness on our bodies.Some of the chronic disease can make young peoples to disturb at their work and life.Why some ages round about 40 peoples have stroke and could not move one side.I think they ignore about their health and take wrong action for themselves.My youngest brother could not move of left side since he was age of 24.After drinking heavily he become having high fever and illness.At that time to this present years he is still not recover from illness.But my mother age of 78 is still strong and nursed her son daily.Most of the seniors are known how to stay healthy in their life and they all are positive persons.
