Truly Inspirational !!!


 

As we get older we sometimes begin to doubt our ability to "make a difference" in the world. It is at these times that our hopes are boosted by the remarkable achievements of other "seniors" who have found the courage to take on challenges that would make many of us wither.

Harold Schlumberg is such a person:



QUOTE FROM HAROLD

I've often been asked, 'What do you old folks do now that you're retired?' Well...I'm fortunate to have a chemical engineering background and one of the things I enjoy most is converting beer, wine and vodka into urine. I do it every day and I really enjoy it.

Harold should be an inspiration to us all.

:D

Brilliant!! :D

Some truth also as I have just been offered a top job and my initial thoughts were one of "Am I too old/" "Can I really do the job?" etc.

A STUNNING SENIOR MOMENT.

A self-imorportant college freshman walking upon the beach took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen resting upon the steps why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.  "You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one" the student said loud enough for others to hear.  "The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon.  We have nuclear energy, ships and cell phones, computers with light speed ... and many more."
After a brief silence, the senior citizen responded as follows.
"You're right son.  We didn't have those things when we were young ... so we invented them.  
Now you arrogant little sh*t what are you doing for the next generation?
The applause was amazing!
