Living to 120 is becoming an imaginable prospect. Excitingly, those extra years would be healthy—but there would be wide ramifications
九十五歲不夠，呷百二好了！

We can learn a lot from people who have lived for 100 years. We asked 14 centenarians from around the world to reflect on what it takes to live a healthy and happy life, and to share the advice they would have given to their younger selves. Here's what one had to say:
Leonard Samuel “Sam” Baker, 101, is a World War II veteran who had a nearly four-decade career in government. His wife, Janet, died of a heart valve condition at 88.
His advice: Choose the right partner and appreciate the time you have. https://wapo.st/4bpaGku

三十年前，我的中西部朋友、當時八十幾歲的喬．羅森斐（Joe Rosenfield），收到當地報紙寄來的一封令人惱火的信。該報直截了當地要求喬提供傳記資料，以便撰寫它將來要用的喬的訃文。喬沒理它。然後呢？一個月後，他收到報社寄來的第二封信，上面標註著「緊急」（URGENT）。──巴菲特2019年寫給股東的信
A Book of Cheeky Obituaries Highlights ‘Eccentric Lives’
This new collection is full of oddballs, mavericks and cranks.

希望有一天我們有部新 《尚友錄》，重要的人物個個都有像胡適之先生寫的《丁文江傳》那樣的傳記，那就是國家的大幸了。
Rebel architects: building a better world
這本書，愛不釋手。今天才知道同一書名、同性質的傳記集，在17世紀末英國即有了--- John Aubrey (1626–1697) 參考傳主提供之資料撰寫。BRIEF LIVES : INTIMATE BIOGRAPHIES OF THE FAMOUS BY THE FAMOUS的特色可從副標題得之，由熟悉傳主的名人撰寫。
Brief Lives: Twentieth-century Pen Portraits from the Dictionary of National Biography
Here, writers, artists, and musicians rub shoulders with scientists, industrialists, politicians, and soldiers in a unique and highly readable anthology of national endeavour. From Laura Ashley to P.G. Wodehouse, from Tony Hancock to Bertrand Russell, Brief Lives presents no fewer than 150 fresh and enlightening snapshots of British life and culture in modern times.

1945-1990 150位當代英國名人寫剛過世的熟人(著名的英國國家傳記辭典第一次選刊) 我第一看的是BBC的創辦人Reith 參考:BBC - The BBC Story - John Reith (8篇) The life of Lord Reith, first Director-General of the BBC.
還花約520元兩本英文傳記 各約650頁 美國文豪S. Bellow傳和Grant 總統回憶錄

1945-1990 150位當代英國名人寫剛過世的熟人(著名的英國國家傳記辭典第一次選刊)
最先讀的是Reithˋ
其他兩本本是S. Bellow的傳記和 Ulysses S. Grant Personal Memoirs
(此書的日文參考資料真令人開眼界)空言。不如見之於行事之深切著明。託之空言
讀Brief Lives 之Pevsner 傳
這則沒有記下我的同學蓓蒂所提到的餘生努力養生，最幸運的話也不過再卅年，真是Brief Lives。Ken 談起生命之品質……。我說可能生命(活著)本身就有意義 (想到的是許多學問家，譬如說Ken從書櫃中拿出的錢先生百歲紀念文集；畢竟這些都只是他的身後事)。

In Memory of H. A. SIMON
( A mail to Learning Organization Forum on Learning and Teaching Styles )
Last weekend I read The Economist 'Obituary' on Herbert Simon（1916-2001）.
http://www.economist.com/
(please help us to locate as many information as possible.)
I started to write my own series of appreciation for this great learner, scientist and educator. One theme we discussed several years ago is about this subject. If you like to read his Models of My Life (MoML) and Sciences of the Artificial (SoA), there are plenty insights on this important subject.
For example, I quoted his "In the Afterword I reflect on the methods I have used in my research...if permitted, I will stay at this pleasurable, exciting work a while longer."( MoML, please also see his learning and teaching journey.)
He defines the 'style' in SoA, together with Marshall's Economics textbook and so on.
It is difficult to tell the nuance of this subject but you might like to read his quote of Paul Valery's Instants( ...As one speaks to the closest one.) in MoML.
I didn't meet Herb but we knew our own learning styles through emails partially at least.
Herb knows Chinese and we know the meaning of 'history' , Words, Deeds, and Worth of an evergreen life and his theories in sciences.
