Toward the end of your days, you are given the classic test whether you were satisfied with your life. You are given the option to live your life all over again — the whole thing up to the present moment. But the caveat is that you cannot change a single thing. Everything will happened just as it did the first time around. Would you choose to do it again or would you choose not to?

When you arrive in your 70’s and have a few dollars put away, what are you supposed to do with the rest of your life? The obvious answer is dedicate yourself to the welfare of others — your immediate family certainly, but also your community, your state, your country, and humanity at large. Use what resources you have left to benefit others, not just yourself. The old adage is, “You can’t take it with you,” so why not use your assets and the time you have left for the benefit of your fellow man?

And yet how few in old age every make such a commitment to dedicate the rest of their lives for the benefit of others.
