I met a 27 year old man today; he’s achieved quite a lot for himself. He hasn’t stopped yet though, he’s on a roll and he looks so focused. I mean he bought a BUILDING at the age of 22. What was I doing at 22? He’s put in plans that he’s ACTUALLY executed and are profiting and blossoming. He’s changing the identity of inner city Johannesburg one building and area at a time. Wow. I love him.
Not romantically, no. Shame my poor boyfriend wouldn’t be so chuffed about that. But I do love him (or maybe I love his energy?) I wish he was a friend of mine. I’d love being around people like that. Someone doing something TOTALLY different to what I am. Someone who has TOTALLY different views of things. Someone who probably has TOTALLY different conversations to the ones I do. I’d love that. I don’t get enough of that. I wish I had that. I’m going to make it my mission to get that. Life’s too short to be comfortable and cushioned. But no one said life has to be rough either, it just has to be different, everyday.
So thank you Steve Jobs for your presence on this earth and all the cool gadgets you left us with. And thank you Jonathan Liebmann for making me think of life a bit differently.
I appreciate it.
