Simon Ramo Did Everything Right

On June, 27, 2016, aerospace pioneer Simon Ramo died at 103 years of age. His quality of life never deteriorated with old age. He played tennis regularly on his seven-acre estate in Beverly Hills. At age 92, he was appointed presidential chair and professor of electrical engineering at the University of Southern California's Viterbi School of Engineering. The patent he received at age 100 made him the oldest person ever to receive a U.S. patent. At age 103, he was still intellectually brilliant and had no obvious physical disabilities. At the time of his death, he was still active because he did everything right in his career, marriage, lifestyle, intellectual achievements and patriotism.

He is considered to be the founder of modern systems engineering and was personally responsible for design of the "Cold War" ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles) that could deliver a nuclear warhead to a target 6,000 miles away in 30 minutes. He founded two Fortune 500 companies, TRW (which grew from two employees to more than 100,000) and Bunker-Ramo (now part of Honeywell). He was also a competent tennis player and a concert-quality violinist who was so good that he played duets with Jascha Heifetz. . . . .

You Can Influence Your Quality of Life

You better believe that your lifestyle plays a large part in the quality and length of your life. Most of my histories of famous people tell about self-destructive behaviors that cause them miserable suffering from diseases and disabilities for many years before death.
• Would you want to spend several years of your short life as Elvis Presley did, suffering from obesity, drug addiction, depression, chronic insomnia, glaucoma, liver damage and chronic constipation?
• Would you choose to smother to death from smoking the way Leonard Nimoy did?
• Would you choose to die of heart failure because you spent all of your time lying in bed, as Marian Anderson did in her later years?
• Would you choose to spend the last years of your life suffering from heart attacks, dementia, shortness of breath, coughing, emphysema, pneumonia and bladder cancer as Frank Sinatra did, from smoking, drinking and carousing?
• Would you prefer to die at age 48 as Al Capone did, so completely demented that he couldn't recognize or talk to anyone because his brain was destroyed by infections from his many promiscuous sexual contacts?

Ramo Did Everything Right
Simon Ramo is a man who followed all of the rules for a healthful lifestyle and retained his high quality of life for 103 years.
• He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Ronald Reagan when he was 70.
• He wrote more than 60 books, including an engineering textbook that has sold more than a million copies and a guide on how to win at tennis at all costs. His book on drones, Let the Robots Do the Dying, appeared in 2012 when he was 99.
• He held numerous patents and became the oldest person ever to receive a U.S. patent, at age 100.

He did not smoke, rarely drank alcohol, never took drugs, was never overweight, tried to exercise every day, married the right women and was never promiscuous, worked harder than everyone else, and was brilliant and productive to the end. His life should serve as a model for us all.

[Taste of Death]

married the right women and was never promiscuous..

It only takes two to tango but three's the charm. For a moment there I thought he was a saint.
