Bea Zalsow was born in 1914 in The Bronx, New York, when ragtime was in full swing and Woodrow Wilson was President of the United States. A century later, she gave an interview about life and her philosophy regarding reaching an advanced age. A brief segment of the interview is linked below. Bea Zaslow passed away at the age of 102 (z”l).
Quotes: “The important thing is to learn to accept your limitations. Insist upon doing as much as you can. Don’t let people help you too much. Then if you can’t, you have to accept help.” | “To live a great and happy life, you have to be happy. You’ve got to make [happiness] out of what you have got, not what you would like [to have], necessarily.”
