I could sit and listen to this man for hours. Fascinating insights, and what a character!
When you have to do something that is called work. When you like doing something that is called play.
I really needed to hear those words!
It was amazing listening to how he spoke. As an English guy I would have thought he would have been difficult to understand. However his accent was closer to British English than modern American English.
How refreshingly honest and down to earth. Just whats needed.
This is priceless. There is enormous wisdom to be learned from elderly men like this man. It is very much the same today. Spend some time listening and shutting our mouths and we can learn a great deal.
