IF YOU'RE YOUNG AT HEART
Because fairy tales, in their most positive, inspiring sense, are compelling myths... they fire up the imagination and allow us to see the possibility of a true hero's journey.

For it’s hard, you will find
To be narrow of mind
If you're young at heart
Believe your fears and the mind narrows and it becomes pessimistic. Soon you are no longer motivating yourself, reinventing yourself or shifting your mind. The gears are stuck. You might as well put on Megadeth and rust in peace. You are not a time warrior, you are now a time worrier. Because time is running out.
Unless.
You take heart. You become young. You ask where the journey starts and you start. Not with a cliche, like all those pre-broken New Year’s resolutions. But with a deeply personal, highly individualized New Year’s revolution.
IRVING KAHN STILL WORKING AT 105!
Irving Kahn credits his 105 happy years on this planet to the fact that he never retired. While most people live for their retirement and fight for their right to retire as early as possible and then do nothing, Irving Kahn cheerfully goes to work each day and serves his clients as a financial consultant.
My friend Will Keiper who has just finished writing a very powerful book called LIFE EXPECTANCY (not released yet..I'll say more about it when it is)... has challenged the boomer generation not to retire but to rescue the world economy through its capacity for joyful, innovative, productive work.
We can all pick up the spirit of the great playwright Noel Coward who said, "Work is more fun than fun."

Don't you know that it's worth
Every treasure on earth to be young at heart?
For as rich as you are
It's much better by far to be young at heart
And if you should survive to a hundred and five
Look at all you'll derive out of bein' alive!
And this is the best part
You'll have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart:
Yes, I believe it was one of Faulkner's last efftors in Hollywood and I'd be surprised if Howard Hawks didn't have a lot of input as well. I have a feeling this interplay between script and source for this film has had its fair share of attention already, but I still think it would be illuminating to see a visualization or have some kind of quantification. The problem I'm having so far is comparing two different formats; the screenplay has the character names before each line, etc. If they were both already encoded in TEI I could probably do something with the dialogue tag to call up the information, but it looks like I'll have to do some sort of workaround which necessitates limiting myself to a particular scene. I could probably get a quick visualization using Voyant if I can set specific stop words for the character names.
