The length of time a material may be stored without deterioration; the length of time it remains usable.
Simply put how much time you have left on the shelf before you expire and are being discarded. It used to sound like a pretty harsh word to me. One that deals you with a blow in the face when you are being told your time is up, pack your bags and go.
But I don't want to go
I want to stay ...
Sorry you have to go
Your shelf life is over (FULL STOP)
What is the shelf life of nail poilish?
12 months
What is the shelf life of eggs?
3-5 weeks
What is the shelf life of rice?
2 years +
What is the shelf life of a working adult?
???
I say it's about the attitude towards what you are doing. A good attitude and hard work can compensate for the so-call limiting factor known as old age which all living things face at some point in their life span. All other things remaining constant, this is one thing that will keep increasing as the years go by (there is no need to keep track of it :P)
To increase your shelf life is not to pretend that age is not catching up on you but it is to leverage on your experience and wisdom (which often comes with age) and other strengths you have. Thereby, comes the term aging gracefully. As I look at my colleague... a man in his 50s coming to 60, he is a good example of what it means to age gracefully. He is diligent in his work and treats other with respect and generosity. In a week's time, he will be taking his Bachelor in Social Work. Many may say, "At this age??" I say, "Why not?" There is no rules to this thing. You start to pursue your dreams whenever you know what it is.

Shelf Life
It's not about how much time you have left,
it's about how long you can make it last.
