Great work.

I just wish there are other reasons behind stepping down: aging is a synonym of cognitive decline. Sad.

Dude, no. Aging is literally a series of bursts in realization of priorities of your life. Checks and balances of all the things you always wanted to do, the person you wanted to be, and never will.

Quoted from the article:

"Why It’s Time to Step Back

As I near 60, I’ve come to realize I simply don’t have the same mental sharpness or stamina I used to."

Decline in mind sharpness. Decline in stamina.

It is your twist and unjustifiable generalization of the author's words about the author himself:

> "aging is a synonym of cognitive decline"

compared to:

> As I near 60, I’ve come to realize I simply don’t have the same mental sharpness or stamina I used to.

The author did not say anything about anyone else.
