There are some jobs that require an incredibly high stress threshold to do, which scares a lot of us away from them.
For instance, it's probably fair to say that the average person would likely consider the prospect of having to perform brain surgery or control air traffic a complete nightmare. But although the more ambitious among us dream of one day becoming President of the United States, that position is arguably even more stressful and carries incredible responsibility.
For that reason, it's not a surprise that we can essentially see the job accelerate people's aging in real time. So when someone manages to not only survive the toll that responsibility takes on them, but thrive to a record-breaking degree, they prove themselves as truly remarkable.
It seems like the perfect day to show how well Jimmy Carter fits that bill.
