Live life in crescendo

I recently read ‘The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,’ written by Stephen Covey. In the Q&A section, at the end of the book, he’s asked what he means by his most important final message: to ‘live life in crescendo.’

Part of his answer includes this: ‘it means that the most important work you will ever do is always ahead of you. You should always be expanding and deepening your commitment to that work. Retirement is a false concept. You retire from a job but never retire from meaningful projects and contributions.’
