My Life Summary:
Jackie Mabley sums it up like this:
There was an old man sitting on a bench watching some teenagers playing basketball in the park. A little boy, about 7 or 8 years old, wanted to play with the big boys, but he was too small. The older boys told him to go away and stop bothering them. The little boy started to cry as he walked away. He walked past the old man on the bench, sobbing and in tears.
The old man asked him, "Why are you crying, little boy?"
The little boy replied, "Because I can't do what the big boys do!"
And then, the old man started to cry too.
The moral of this story is: Life is too short, no matter how old you are.
When you’re young (ages 5–12), you’re still learning and you want to do what the bigger kids are doing—without yet having the knowledge or experience.
From about 15 to 26 years old, you feel bulletproof, invincible, like nothing can touch you. Sometimes a little reckless—but you have to admit, this is the best and most fun time of your life. Hanging out and partying with friends, the first kiss, and especially making whoopee for the first time—these are unforgettable moments.
In your thirties and beyond, you start thinking about how you’re going to leave your mark on the world. This is when the biggest challenges begin. People you meet may or may not help you reach your goals—some will become lifelong friends, and others will hold you back. Only time will tell.
Now that I’m over 75, I think about how I don’t want to be that old guy on the bench. Hopefully, I can still keep up with the big boys and girls. As I said earlier—only history will tell.
Thanks, Moms Mabley.
