Why You Should Accept Getting Old
Sally Susman
Executive Vice President and Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at Pfizer, Author of WSJ Bestseller Breaking Through (Harvard Business Review Press)
People complain about getting old, but it beats the alternative.
Is there a better life pursuit than getting old and living well?
By getting old, I can enjoy time with my loved ones, make an impact on the world by pursuing a career that matters, and pass the wisdom I’ve gained to the next generation.
I am not alone; America is becoming a nation of older citizens. How we age matters.
Today, the White House Conference on Aging is being held in Washington, DC.
Help change the negative outlook on aging by participating in the White House Conference on Aging. You can join a watch party in your area. Discuss the issues of aging on Facebook with Medicare and AARP, or on Twitter using the hashtag #WHCOA.
Pfizer started Get Old to turn aging into inspiration. We support this conference and its aim to “recognize the possibilities of aging.”
With the help of medicine and technology, getting old has never looked better.
Join me by celebrating a longer, better life. Together, let’s get old.

9 年I'm following the conference and cannot agree more. The issues are crucial to get past generational biases and to face some equally crucial decisions about our economy, our obligations and our commitment to individuals at greatest risk -- of any age. I'm also more encouraged than I thought I might feel, and grateful there are so many thought leaders and corporate experts to help devise strategies. Thanks for all you do at Pfizer to contribute too.
