What i learnt from a 75 year old man today
This is really a strange way to open my blog innings on Medium but I cannot get a better platform and topic like this to share my daily experiences.Every day I’m planning to share small, important & better message to all my dear viewers from this platform.
To begin with, first, let me tell you what happened to me this early morning during a rainfall.Was standing by beneath the tree to take shelter from screaming rainfall that was happening on the very minute I was commuting to my office but destiny has some teaching to offer me on Tuesday morning.I was accompanied by 75-year-old young men, Yes 75 years old young men standing nearby me & enjoying the pleasant rainfall while other people were checking their so-called “Dumbphones” I was amazed how well he was enjoying the rain which bugged me to start the conversation with him
I: — Hey Old man, How are you?
Old man (Young man) — I’m great my child just enjoying the rain after a brisk 5KM walking
I:- 5KM Brisk walk?
The old man (Young man) — Yes I always take care of my health without any excuse since my younger days.I always believe the biggest gift which has been given to you is your health.
I: — Agreed 100%, How do you see this world after 75 Years? & what one advice you would like to give to our X-gen? (I was getting late for the office, so this was the best one I asked)
The Old man (Young man): — Better than before, Well I’m itself a professor & have taught many children throughout my years but one thing which I can surely give you as takeaway is “Never forget where you came from”
To be continued…
