>80 and going strong

Yesterday I watched two old man, one on TV and another one live performing in Bangalore.

First one is LK Advani, BJP's prime ministerial candidate, he is 81 years old and the way he was giving his speech at the NDA rally in Punjab, it was great. Almost from last 2 months he is traveling expensively across India, giving multiple speeches, taking flights and reaching to the new destination.

Second one is Manna Dey, the great Bollywood  singer, he is in his 91st years. He was giving live performance in Bangalore and almost sang for more than 2 hours, his team was much younger than him (must be in their 30s or 40s) but they asked for a break in between not him. Amazing stuff.

How do they get this kind of energy and enthusiasm in whatever they do? If i just look around with people in their 20s and 30s, i don't find the same zeal to get going. Where is the vigor or spark? Can we take 2hrs flight in the morning, attend one meeting, again take a flight for another place, attend one more meeting, return to your home and come back fresh the next morning to office?

Are we just doing something because we have to do it to earn our livelihood? Where is the creativity? Where is the emotional connection with what we are doing?
