Age is Just a Number: A Busy Life at 79

At 79, one person is living proof that age is just a number. They are far from retired, instead juggling a busy schedule that would put many younger people to shame. This individual runs a thriving business with 14 employees, expecting to grow by over 40% this year without spending a dime on marketing. But that's just the start. They also serve on nine boards, holding key roles like treasurer and chair. On top of that, they sit on 11 committees, manage a farm with 24 beef cattle and organic gardens, and teach two popular adult education courses. Their work doesn't stop there. They tutor an English student in Kiev, Ukraine, provide regional consulting services, and even do carpentry work for nonprofits. It's clear they are highly valued for their skills and knowledge, not their wealth. Their main income is Social Security, yet they are often called a national treasure for their contributions. Despite their packed schedule, they remain in good health, taking no medications and having no health issues. The only exception might be a tendency to talk a lot, which they jokingly refer to as diarrhea of the mouth. While they admit they might be more involved than most, their story raises an important question: Why do we often underestimate what people can do as they age? Society tends to dismiss older individuals, assuming they are past their prime. But this person's life is a testament to the fact that age doesn't determine capability. It's all about attitude and drive.
