• At 65 years old: He retired.
• On the first day of his retirement, he received a check from the government for $ 105. ( What a slap in the face! How could he survive on a $105 monthly budget, he thought, at such an old age?!
• Feeling like a total failure :sad: he decided to commit suicide.
• He sat under a tree and writing his suicide letter and will.
• Then all of a sudden he thought of writing instead, what he have accomplished, had he had the choice to start his life all over.
• He realized there was so much he hadn't done yet!
• One thing he realized, that he could do like no one else!
• Actually, he could do it better than everyone else!
