Leave that senior stereotype behind you and leave that poor judgments behind for you might get embarrassed once you jump into silly conclusions. The reason? There are seniors in their 70’s and 80’s that can match what you can do, and sometimes, they can even outdo you, creating masterpiece or some major breakthrough.
If you want more proof, then here they are:
Michaelangelo – a renowned Italian painter, did the frescoes of Sistine Chapel at the age of 70, and later designed church at the age of 88. It didn’t seem that his artistry fade away.
Leo Tolstoy – a famous writer who created Anna Karenina only learned how to ride a bike at the age of 67. This is a proof that motor skills can still function well.
Mother Theresa – a person who personifies unconditional love saves the people from suffering at the age of 83. Even at that age she still has that compassion to serve the people.
Thomas Edison – a brilliant scientist who invented bulb light, introduced telephone during his 80’s. He was already 84 when he invented telephone and he was even deaf.
