Living a Longer Life
Today’s quote is from Chicago Sun-Times Advice Columnist Ann Landers, who said:
“Nobody ever drowned in his own sweat.”
The “Fountain of Youth” is a spring that supposedly restores the youth of anyone who drinks or bathes in its waters. The legend became particularly prominent in the 16th century, attached to the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon’s travels in what is now Florida.
In an April 2014 Time Magazine article titled, “9 Secrets to Living Longer,” author Alexandra Sifferlin points out that good, old-fashioned work plays a critical role in the quality of life as well as living a longer life.
