I must apologize to my readers for my long silence, but I have been trotting around and lecturing in Italy and Spain. Also, I had to finish a book, which you will be able to buy in huge quantities before Christmas and worked on another one for next year. You must agree that this is not too bad for a 94-year-old man.
You might remember that I have a particular affection for my skeleton. I always say: look after your skeleton and your skeleton will look after your internal organs. Now, looking after your skeleton takes a bit of care. Look at yourself in the mirror and make sure that you stand symmetric, and then ensure that you keep your shoulders level whenever you walk and try not to stoop. And now we come to a serious problem: walking.
I suspect that in the Indian subcontinent people are better walkers than we westerners, but walking is not trivial and it is a good training for living. And let me start with the latter question and confess that I had a very unusual model for it, which will show you that if you keep your eyes opened you can learn a lot from the most unlikely people. In my case, none less than the then President of the United States, Ronald Reagan. And if you think that he could not teach anybody anything you are wrong: every human being has something special from which you can learn.
And now I shall tell you what I learned from a man I consider as fundamentally stupid.
