The human contribution is the essential ingredient.

What I spent, is gone; what I kept, I lost; but what I gave away will be mine forever.

We learn the inner secret of happiness when we learn to direct our inner drives, our interest and our attention to something besides ourselves.

What I spent, is gone; what I kept, I lost;/ but what I gave away will be mine forever.

Such to me is the new image of aging: growth in self and service for all mankind

The human contribution is the essential ingredient. It is only in the giving of oneself to others that we truly live.
