Never
Too Late
A
90-Year-Old's Pursuit of a Whirlwind Life
Never
Too Late is career correspondent and author Roy
Rowan's rousing testament to the fact that if you are
still in reasonably good health and have a career or set
of interests to pursue, your swan-song years can be
among your most productive. He shares his views of
the pleasures and potentials of old age based on a long
life of adventure - from his decades covering wars and
revolutions across the globe to the jogging that took
him through his eighties and the fishing that fills so
many of his days as a nonagenarian. Throughout he
weaves in the lessons he has learned along the way and
addresses a spectrum of topics, including the
subjectivity of the label "old," the
importance of optimism, and the fight to maintain
independence as the years go by. He also
encourages retirees to start a second career or
activity, naming the three E's of Enthusiasm, Exertion,
and Energy as the keys to pursuing a new passion.
Never Too Late is one man's stirring reminder
that the philosopher Satchel Paige had it right when he
asked, "How old would you be if you didn't know how
old you are?"
