DOWNLOAD EBOOKLibraries are filled with volumes containing recipes for growing old gracefully. Most of them are based on mountains of research and statistics. Career correspondent and author Roy Rowan read many of these books, and found in them some good advice. Never Too Late is no such manual. It is simply one man’s views of the pleasures and potentials of old age based on a long life of adventure as a correspondent for the world’s leading magazines—and the lessons learned along the way from diverse groups of people, from the world’s most powerful leaders to some of the world’s most hapless individuals. Rowan interweaves quotes from experts in gerontology and other sage writers with his own experiences and insights. He 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKI have felt through the years that even though I didn't get much of an education and that I was raised hard with only the bare necessities being met; I didn't have to turn bad by learning to rob, cheat, and steal to get what I wanted out of life. Instead of following the path to destruction, I worked at making myself a smarter, better person so I could support my family well enough and not consider myself poor. Being poor isn't wrong, it was just that I didn't want to be poor, not anymore. It has taken me over ninety years to get to this day. Some of the years were hard and I really wouldn't like to live through them again, but many years were good and well worth repeating. I have traveled through the years of extreme poverty to a point in my life when I was worth a million plus dollars. That isn't the case right now, but it might be again. 90 Years and Still Going Strong is my story of the good years and the bad years. I hope you enjoy reading about my life as much as I have enjoyed living it.
