When fifty people over 70 were asked what they were most pround of in their lives, acquiring wealth didn’t get a single mention. Instead they reflected presence, kindness, courage, resilience, connection, forgiveness, and ordinary moments that added up to something extraordinary.

For others it was surviving difficulties with dignity.
