Growing old : Part One

 


So this story is about growing old.

I a 32 yr old man, have watched a lot of my legends grow old.

This story is two-fold, this conversation will have part one.

So the older I have got I have watched my mentors and legends get old too.

With their age and their life experience they bring so much to the table that a 32-year-old man cannot see.

I could be the most intelligent human and still be lacking the life experience they own, with kids, family, businesses, and managing relationships.

With age, a certain amount of assurance of what you are doing is right comes to one; this is the right investment, this is the right move, I can run things even alone, I have watched the market, this is how it is in business we do lose money. These are all statements I have heard.

As a young adult and an adult, I have seen some wrong moves been made; I have spoken out loud and tried to voice my opinion saying please do be careful.

With my age and almost half their experience, I have zero reasons to tell any of my mentors what to do.

I have seen greats fall because they knew in their heart and soul, this was the right move. Call it age, call it growing old, call it confidence, or call it when you reach the top you feel unbreakable.

One wrong move can sometimes make all the dominos fall.

I would like to tell everyone who is my age; your mentors, parents, and grandparents need your support too.

I understand the mentality you thinking Woah, it is their life, their hard-earned money; what gives me the right to advise them hence I would not. This might be TRUE, but do voice it so they are slightly compelled to think in a different scope. You cannot change people, but can always inspire new thoughts in them

As a kid, I was always told you never lose, until you give up. Practice that!

Always do voice it, they might need your help even if they did not know.

I have failed at it once in my life personally, and I told myself never again. Your elders guided you, took care of you in life, it is your turn to try and help them too.

Do give this a thought.

Cheers!
