RE: A Few Notes from my Desk on the Topic of Aging.
Around 60 I would agree is the age my grandmother will remain in heart as she gets older.
Everyone always seems to be in such a rushing in life to get to the next point they appear to be wishing away what could have been wonderful years. I am blessed to see this and try and enjoy time when I can. While still being always to busy that I miss out on the little things most of the time.
It’s great you are at least trying to embraces new things. Even if they don’t always have an expected outcome. I’ve known a few people they just are done with anything new in their world. You step into it and its like time traveling backwards in time. At least back then they made things to last. Now a days forget about it breaks as soon as warranty goes.
It is so nice to hear from you here.
The thing that most disturbs me, in the world of people who refuse to travel forward, is the amount of anger I hear. There's anger over being required to change to stay relevant. Anger over the missed opportunity of training. Angry with the futility of learning only to find they are still behind or being left behind again. And yes, anger over loss of productivity and longevity in new products.
An example would be an older person who had to move from line command DOS to Windows. At that time, for him, it was a dumbed down process that made productivity grind to an excruciating snail's pace.
Anyway such is life. :-)
Some people just allow anger to grasp them around the heart strings. That is just no way to enjoy life. There are so many beautiful and wonderful things out their!
