Arthur, It's interesting to me, as a 45 yo man, to observe others in their 60's and 70's, knowing that, God willing, I'll be there myself in about 180 months or so. Some people, like yourself, seem to retain a flexible, youthful and positive outlook on life...successful yet not boastful about it. Others seem to experience a "hardening of the mind", a decreasing ability to be flexible and open to alternative viewpoints...and a braggardly attitude about their success (this is probably a compensating behavior). I've thought this for awhile, yet this is the first time I've said it out loud. And wow, is it becoming clear now. I choose the flexible, youthful, open-minded, constantly learning model.
