“There is a fountain of youth: It is your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love. When you learn to tap this source you will truly have defeated age.”

—Sophia Loren, actress

DRINK DEEPLY

You’ve seen it on some of your coworkers’ faces. It’s the look of resignation. They have surrendered to the status quo and no longer believe they can make a difference.

They have gotten old before their time. They have given up.

Lucky for you, you’ve discovered the fountain of youth: recognition. When you apply your talents and creativity to nurture and build those around you, it refills your cup of enthusiasm and innovative instincts.

So go ahead and quench their thirst for recognition. Drink deeply of life— and you’ll never grow old.
