The advice was correct, age really is just a number in your head.

With the holiday’s over and my birthday in the rear-view mirror my self inflicted pity party is drawing to a close. I realize (again) that I am fortunate to live in the time I do because there is endless opportunity for those willing to work, regardless your age. Thinking along those lines I reflect on coworkers, one in particular that seems to have refined the ability to keep their job while missing at least 1-2 days per pay period. As sick as this person professes and with all the misfortune constantly visiting him, I surprised he has survived to his apparent age of forty-five. The truth of course is he is lazy with zero work ethic that cares little for the burden he places on his co-workers or that his excuses for absences are laughable. Too bad he doesn’t think about the lesson he is teaching his children.
