Let everyone sweep in front of his own door, and the whole world will be clean.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Things Change with Increased Age

Some get wiser, and some get old and stop trying.

I do still try my best, but maybe my accidents have taught me never to give up. I am glad that I didn’t. Then I should likely still be in a wheelchair or maybe even on my back, unable to get up from bed without help nowadays.

It is needless to speculate, I am alive, and I am kicking again.

I might have less power than when I was younger, but I also have more experience. So I value my expertise higher than strength in my body.

Do you want to know what I did when I was younger with failures?

Maybe you want to find out what some of my friends did?

I will then tell you what I discovered when I was recruiting.

So let us jump into this as a Team.

I’m a pretty average guy and want to keep a low profile. I don’t want the world necessarily to know about me.

Edward Whitacre, Jr.
