		<description><![CDATA[At 65, the man is a legend.  He’s also a pensioner.  He’s what a teenager would classify as ‘an old man’.  Next month, on 25th March, it will be the turn of Elton John to blow out 65 candles on his birthday cake.  Another old man.

If we can celebrate the lives of old rockers, why can’t we celebrate the lives of anyone who’s made it to mature years?   Why are older people considered as a drain on society and a burden on the NHS?   What can we do to help ourselves to age well and stick two fingers up at an unsympathetic youth-filled culture?  What are the secrets of living a happy, meaningful older age?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ll be up at midnight, outside on a tower block balcony watching the fireworks, drinking bubbly, whooping in the New Year, as giddy as a three year old expecting toys as Christmas.  As giddy as the puppy this Christmas Eve who, for no apparent reason, ran round and round the room for the sheer joy of being able to.

		<description><![CDATA[Christopher Hitchens said about closed minds:

“I want to live my life taking the risk, all the time, that I don’t know anything like enough, that I haven’t understood enough, that I can’t know enough, that I’m always hungrily operating on the margins of a potentially great harvest of future knowledge and wisdom – and I wouldn’t have it any other way.” ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The apprenticeship scheme, although aimed at the young, is open to anyone. Last year there was a 900% rise in the over-60s signing up. Of course statistics being statistics, it's now quite as 'wow' as it seems at first reading. 400 over-60 year olds signed up in 2009-10. During this past year, 3, 910 signed up as new apprentices. So it's 900% of not a large number. Nevertheless this was not anticipated. Having so many older people taking advantage of the scheme has pushed policy makers into suggesting that apprenticeships should only be accessed by the young.

This is your body giving you the opportunity to slow down, look around and spoil yourself – just a little bit.  Enjoy the next cold you catch.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Performance management and feedback is best given as:

praise for what worked first,
where things could be improved,
and concluding with more praise

All damning criticism undermines confidence.  We all need to be told that something we did worked. ]]></description>

People who live long lives, lives where they remain sharp to the end, lives where they are valued and contribute, have strong family ties. One of the last two lessons for a long and happy life is to put your family first.]]></description>
