00:03.500 --> 00:08.500 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
- We humans on planet earth
can be correctly described

00:08.766 --> 00:10.166 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
as being full of it.

00:10.166 --> 00:12.466 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- I think that
aging is something

00:12.466 --> 00:14.400 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
that we should all aspire to.

00:14.400 --> 00:18.733 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
- We don't see
any beauty in age.

00:18.733 --> 00:21.266 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
- The misconception is that
there's something wrong

00:21.266 --> 00:22.666 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
with getting old.

00:22.666 --> 00:24.866 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
- I think some of the
misconceptions about aging are

00:24.866 --> 00:26.800 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
that you're vulnerable and weak,

00:26.800 --> 00:28.200 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
and you can't do as much.

00:28.200 --> 00:29.966 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
- That you get less interesting.

00:29.966 --> 00:32.433 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
- A certain feeling that
you're less effective.

00:32.433 --> 00:34.200 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
- Not being quite as relevant.

00:34.200 --> 00:37.933 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
- [Yengmy] Not being able
to understand or remember.

00:37.933 --> 00:39.233 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5%
- Okay, a lot of people think

00:39.233 --> 00:41.533 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
that once you get
past retirement,

00:41.533 --> 00:43.900 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
it's just kind of
a downhill slide.

00:43.900 --> 00:45.333 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
- I think that in this culture,

00:45.333 --> 00:48.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
there's emphasis
put on youthfulness.

00:48.766 --> 00:53.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- In age, I believe
one gift is maturity.

00:54.100 --> 00:57.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- And attention is given
to how to stay youthful

00:57.133 --> 01:00.266 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
as opposed to how to actually
age in a healthy way.

01:00.266 --> 01:01.633 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
- I think, it's really important

01:01.633 --> 01:03.033 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
to talk about healthy
aging because--

01:03.033 --> 01:04.466 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
- There are so many of us

01:04.466 --> 01:06.200 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
that are living so
much longer now.

01:06.200 --> 01:11.166 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75%
- In my parents' generation,
it was never addressed.

01:11.800 --> 01:15.133 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
- What is the limits of what
I can do in a healthy way,

01:15.133 --> 01:17.466 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and in my field, a
certain level of artistry

01:17.466 --> 01:19.766 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
that I can continue to work at?

01:19.766 --> 01:23.266 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- Healthy aging should
be the only alternative,

01:23.266 --> 01:27.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
because unhealthy aging
doesn't prove anything.

01:28.166 --> 01:31.166 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
(bright upbeat music)
