A 91-year-old guy sat next to me..
His lessons will stuck with me forever
I was shopping together with my mother and girlfriend..
You know how it is as a man..
After 5 min you get bored and decide to sit down.
That's exactly what I did.
I sat down on a bench in front of the store while thinking
“please let this end soon”
As I was sitting there, an elderly person sat down next to me.
I said to him: “women”
He laughed and instantly nodded and said yes I'm waiting too haha
We started to small talk a bit until he told me about his construction company he is still running at 91 years!
Let that sink in.
I told him he looked around 60 because he did..
I was blown away..
The next thing he told me was, “I'm looking to retire when I'm 100 years old”
Whaaaat..
This new generation is looking to retire before they even start working..
A true hustler..
The conversation ended there because his wife came..
But 2 things stuck with me that I will never forget..
Always aim for the long-term game. Never the short term.
The most important thing for a man is his purpose. Create it. Find a new one. Pursue it. But never stop chasing your purpose.
