Esquire Magazine How To Get Old And Do It Right April 1975 082012R
Reduced here are seven basic rules for your consideration.
Rule 1:
…it may hurt but must be done.
Rule 2:
…for men, get the hair in your ears trimmed; for women, wear sleeves.
Rule 3:
…at some energy-consuming and interesting activity.
Rule 4:
…good anecdotes persuade us that the good old days, like our own, were full of stupidity, sexual misconduct, and general wickedness.
Rule 5:
…it's useful to know the difference. Whining is subjective; raging is objective. If Harry S Truman would have said what you're about to say, it's raging.
Rule 6:
…every senior should enjoy two full months of cold and snow.
Remember, the death rate in Florida is twice what it is in Alaska.
Rule 7:
…egotism at fifty makes a tyrant; at seventy, it makes a mensch.
