My Grandpa Lived Until 92 — Here’s the Most Valuable Lesson He Taught Me
It’s Time to Share His Wisdom.
My grandfather was not an ordinary person, although he looked like one.
He didn’t go to university but had eight children, a long life, a happy marriage, and, let’s say, every time he went to the bank, the bankers called him by name and invited him to have coffee.
Not bad for a guy born in a Spanish village in 1927.
Everything he learned he learned in the countryside: dangerous camps full of blood and hatred, first because of the civil war and then because of the 40 years of dictatorship — fields where the only thing that flourished was hunger and misery.
Even so, my grandfather prospered.
He did so thanks to a powerful lesson he taught me that I will never forget.
Grandpa’s Golden Nugget of Wisdom
“People will want you to take on their problems as yours. And they will claim your successes as theirs.— If you’re smart, you’ll take advantage of it.” — My grandfather :-)
