Being alive at 87 is quite an accomplishment if you're curious, interested, seeing the fun out of life, doing things, having a purpose.

Retiring and discovering that you no longer have enough energy to enjoy life and dying a few years out of sheer boredom.
As you get older, don't slow down. Speed up. There's less time left!
