Better than Robot Caregivers?

A female friend who sent me the NY Times article on Sunday said, "I love this idea!"

It is Monday and time for news that puts smiles on our faces. This week, the New York Times has an article with the title Japan’s New Care Workers: Bodybuilders, Wrestlers and M.M.A. Fighters.” The photos alone are worth the visit to the article. You can see the older men getting inspiration to pump a little iron and everyone smiling broadly at the physiques of mixed martial arts fighters, sumo wrestlers (especially the young ones!), and body builders. The jobs involve both helping and inspiring their clients in multiple ways.
