In Mr. Pink's book, A Whole New Mind, he asks what are we going to be like when we are 90 years old. My first thought is what am I going to look like? My best bet is that I will be small, wrinkly, but loud Asian woman. Well from the sounds of that, it might be extremely boring, but then I think of who I am actually going to be. I want to be full og wisdom, knowledge, and I want to be able to have the ability to remember past memories that were priceless throughout my life. For me, even being alive is a gift! Reaching that age would be amazing. Yet, with such a great age, you must carry many challenging struggles you've been through suich as deaths of loved ones, struggles of the people closest to you, and the doubt and burden of your own mistakes and wrong turns.
Let's face it, we all have those misleading turns, the wrong decisions, and the heartache gone through with friends and family. Sevent-three years from now I hope to see myself living, wise, and strong. I want to still be able to make differences in other people's lives by sharing with them what struggles I've gone through. I want to live to the day where I can make an impact. I want to be able to become a legend, for other's to see my example and become influenced to pass on the deed and change the world. Life is such a strange and mysterious concept and we can never fully understand it to it's full potential of why and what are our purposes here. But, I can try to explain that everyday we should try to live the life we would like to see and relect back on and to be proud of what we have done with ourselves. I now close my thoughts hoping to give you one; what can we all start doing better or differently to become fully satisfied with who and what we are?

Love love love your 90 year reflection piece. I can picture you as a loud old asian woman, that made me laugh. I like how you close your paragraph with a question to the reader. It really makes me think about myself at 90 and what I want to achieve with my life. Nicely Done my friend. I can't wait to read more.

Well thought my asian friend, you really seem to know what you want to accomplish in your life. The ending question was also great, makes us all think about what kind of impact we really want to have on the world.
