Wow - what an amazing man. And I can't believe how little he eats!! I'm a bit surprised to read him say that science alone can't cure or heal people. Not that I don't agree with it, but it's just not often you hear a physician say that. Laurie | Express Yourself to Successs last blog post..An Important Interpersonal Skill

@Dragos, thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights. I thought some readers might want to learn more about your trip to Japan, so if anyone is interest this will get you started.

That’s amazing. This kind of people should get more attention from the traditional media, from us, bloggers, from everybody which could make them more visible. They are the people that should be on the front page of papers, not stupid models or brainless rock stars.

Just coming from my trip to Japan I start to understand more about these people, and they do have the handle to switch some of our inner resources for bigger achievements, that I can tell you.

The good news is that we all have access to those handles

Thanks for this article, Jontathan

@Mike, Your absolutely right, this is one very old guy talking about one aspect of what makes his world go around. I was mainly interested in his attitude toward advancing age. His world seems to center on his work and staying active and productive into old age, and that‘s what he shared. Aside from the first 2 paragraphs, everything else is a direct reprint from an article in The Japan Times.

Nice summary of items and I agree with them really for many things. However, I'm shocked to see no words of wisdom about relationships and meaning in life and purpose. The focus here is on work and health fits a particular kind of person, but not all. Mike Kings last blog post..The Key to Personal Development. Belief

@Angela, thanks for focusing in on his thoughts, that’s mainly why I published this. It certainly wasn’t his diet. Obviously, mindset and genetics are working together here.
@Robin, I know people in both extremes also, young old people and old young people. We need to constantly aware that the mind is only creative. Forever young works for me as it does for you!

What a remarkable post and remarkable man! I am intensely inspired by his attitude. I have friends like this in their 80s and 90s and they blow out the window all the stale conditioning about "growing old". Just those words alone are a death sentence. Why not simply "growing" or "living". My culture does not express in any way the great joys of "growing". The power of thought and mind and insight and wisdom and vitality that can be (if we choose) part of living at ANY age, but especially people who are in their 60's, 70s, 80s, and so forth. My word, I hear people tell me (online) all the time that they are "already" middle aged (horror of horrors) and then I later find out that they are only 35!!! 35 is so very young! Lololol!! Wonderful "bursting-with-life" post!! Robin Eastons last blog post..Who Are You?
