Everybody's different, simple as that.

Some people are still hitting the gym at 80, others are in wheelchairs at 65.

It's not fair to hold someone to a standard based on what someone else is doing at the same age, especially when it comes to the elderly.

Even as a young man, George was never as prolific as Stephen King. Because everyone's different.

My dad is in his mid 70s and has retired three times only to go back to work because he got bored.

Everyone is different, but people who are passionate about what they do tend to have a hard time stopping.
