Life Is Short Years Long

More From Robert A. Heinlein

He should have known better because, early in his learnings under his brother mahmoud, he had discovered that long human words (the longer the better) were easy, unmistakable, and rarely changed their meanings, but short words were slippery, unpredictable changing their meanings without any pattern. or so he seemed to grok. short human words were never like a short martian word - such as grok which forever meant exactly the same thing. short human words were like trying to lift water with a knife. and this had been a very short word.

In youth the days are short and the years are long. in old age the years are short and day's long.

These short stories are vast structures existing mostly in the subconscious of our cultural history. they will live with the reader long after the words have been translated into ideas and dreams. that's because a good short story crosses the borders of our nations and our prejudices and our beliefs. a good short story asks a question that can't be answered in simple terms. and even if we come up with some understanding, years later, while glancing out of a window, the story still has the potential to return, to alter right there in our mind and change everything.
Dream Simple Years
You know, episodic tv directing is a very long and arduous job. you have very short schedules, short short shooting days, and you have to get lot of pages done.
Jobs Long Done
Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. people grow old only by deserting their ideals. years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair; these are the long, long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust. whatever your years, there is in every being's heart the love of wonder, the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing childlike appetite for what next, and the joy and the game of life.
Giving Up Heart Numbers
If you're not doing something with your life, then it doesn’t matter how long you live. if you're doing something with your life, then it doesn't matter how short your life may be. a life is not measured by years lived, but by its usefulness. if you are giving, loving, serving, helping, encouraging, and adding value to others, then you're living a life that counts!
Years Long Giving

I remember really vividly kneeling by my bed as a nine-year-old, saying my prayers and asking god to give me boobs that were so big that if i laid on my back i wouldn't be able to see my feet.
Prayer Years Feet
And when you were a silent word upon life's quivering lips, i too was there, another silent word. then life uttered us and we came down the years throbbing with memories of yesterday and with longing for tomorrow, for yesterday was death conquered and tomorrow was birth pursued.
Memories Years Yesterday
Some men are born old, and some men never seem so. if we keep well and cheerful, we are always young and at last die in youth even when in years would count as old.
Men Years Age
Sophomore year, i got hit in the stomach playing football, and i was out of school for four months. i was in the hospital for two and then out of school for two.
