“I go through the newspapers every morning, underline what’s most urgent and try to paste it in my mind. I’ve kept those habits from my lifetime as a reporter. I want to be right at the cutting edge of the news. You have a responsibility to be interesting. Keep your eyes open, your emotions free. Leap into the future!”
Ida L Cheatham, 103
Housekeeper, house manager and caterer; Virginia, US
“Hate will destroy you, hate will destroy your mind. If you have a disagreement with people, or they do you wrong, speak your piece and go on. Keep your mind, because that’s freedom right there. I love life – I know I was created by God to love life – so anything that happens, I don’t care how bad it is, I can do all of it.”
I recommend reading the whole piece if you can. The advice given is inconsistent from interviewee to interviewee, but it’s always touching and hopeful.
Grab a cup of coffee
and share what’s on your mind this morning.
