Time today does not allow me to answer that question fully, but may I share one of the most crucial lessons I have learned.
A better question would be “What have I learned in nearly a century of living?” I am often asked the secret to living so long. I recently celebrated my 99th birthday and thus commenced my 100th year of living. I pray that the Spirit will carry my message into your hearts today. So, while I have delivered more than 100 general conference addresses standing, today I thought I would do so sitting. Three weeks ago, I injured the muscles of my back. At my age, each new day brings wonderful as well as challenging surprises. My dear brothers and sisters, I am deeply grateful to speak with you today.
