So, why am I sharing this in my column? Well, in my 60s, I started to experience employers and clients asking when I was going to retire. I’ve also observed fellow men and women in their 60s suddenly question what the rest of their lives will entail after their careers came to an end. Well, if you want to continue to get up excited with life, “Don’t Let the Old Man or Woman In.”
While many people are consumed with negativity toward everything imaginable, I’m still saying what I said to my future wife back in 2012, “I’m excited with life and the opportunities it provides me.”
Today, I have two books on the market; I’m dabbling with an equipment manufacturer’s podcast (a topic for next month); I’m aiming to land a deal for my next book, “HVAC Infrastructure Through Integrated Project Delivery;” and I even have an idea for a novel should I run out of building industry interests. I’m doing all of this so that I “Don’t Let the Old Man In.” As Will Rogers said, “Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today.”
