The Nobel prize in medicine 2009 was declared at a press conference today at noon. It will be given to three American researchers: Elizabeth Blackburn, Carol Greider and Jack Szovak.
The motivation is:
"for the discovery of how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase" (www.nobelprize.org)
Enzym helps our chromosomes to stay young and I believed that no one wants to grow old. Hopefully, there will be some cure for ageing and cancer in my life time.

When you grow old, every single part of your body decline, firstly, your pair of legs, as they have been supporting you for decades. Recently, my mom is wheel-chaired and fell off very often. It is sad to see her health declining on a daily basis. I started to feel that her days are counting.
My mom used to work 24 x 7, it's only 12 years since her retirement and she can hardly walk. Science discovered that regular sports may help to prolong the process of ageing, i.e. made you grow old slower. Yet, everyone is this world is live to let die.
There is simply so many things you cannot control, birth, ageing, sickness and death. What we can do is to look up the sky and pray to Thy Mighty and hope his saviour could help in some way.
I started to think that I needed to use my life in a more useful way, especially, when I look at the 24-inch gauge. So when I see Thy Worshipful Master in the Grand Lodge Above, I would be a good steward to him.
