Food for thought:
We grew up in the 40s-50s
We studied and dated in the 40s-50s-60s-70s.
We got married and discovered the world in the 50s-60s-70s-80s.
We ventured into the 70s-80s-90s.
We stabilized in the 90s-2000s.
We got wiser in the 2000s.
And went firmly through the 2010s.
Turns out we've lived through NINE different decades...
TWO different centuries..
TWO different millennia...
We have gone from the telephone with an operator for long-distance calls to video calls to anywhere in the world.
We have gone from slides to YouTube,
from vinyl records to online music,
from handwritten letters to email and WhatsApp...
from live matches on the radio, to black and white TV, and then to HDTV...
We went to Blockbuster and now we watch Netflix...
We got to know the first computers, punch cards, diskettes and now we have gigabytes and megabytes in hand on our cell phones or iPads...
We dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, H1N1 flu and now COVID-19...
We rode skates, tricycles, bicycles, mopeds, gasoline or diesel cars and now we ride hybrids or 100% electric...
Yes, we've been through a lot, but what a great life we've had!
They could describe us as "exennials" people who were born in that world of the forties, who had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood.
We're kind of Ya-seen-it-all.
Our generation has literally lived through and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life.
It is our generation that has literally adapted to "CHANGE".
A big round of applause to all the members of a very special generation, which are UNIQUE.
Here's a precious and very true message that I received from a friend:
TIME DOES NOT STOP
Life is a task that we do ourselves every day.
When you look... it's already six in the evening;
when you look... it's already Friday;
when you look... the month is over;
when you look... the year is over;
when you look... 50, 60, 70 and 80 years have passed!
Do not stop doing something you love due to lack of time.
Unfortunately, time never returns...
The day is today!
WE ARE NO LONGER AT AN AGE TO POSTPONE ANYTHING. LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST EVERY SINGLE DAY!
