Inspired at 65

I enjoy telling the people that ask me my age in this land that I am 65. 

Their faces get so puzzled and they are not sure whether to take me seriously or to dismiss the straight face that comes after the answer. (That was purely for my pleasure... sorry..back to business) 

Many times, it is very easy to get into the "I-have-seen-much-and-lived-long-so-I-know-more" mentality. This can easily make one to have an air around them and in my opinion, keeps them from learning more. 

This week, I got to speak to two "watchies"* and they inspired me so much! That is why I am writing this blog. One of them spoke her heart out and the other lives his life with a smile despite tough times.  

Moral of the story: We are never to old, too experienced or too wise to learn from others. 

November is here..December is near. 

Keep learning, 

Ama Kweli.
