This morning my secretary sounded something which made me shy and shameful. She said, "Dear Boss, you have forgotten to pay my salary last month!!!" Oh my God! How could I forget this! I had been diligently paying my faithful girl every month for the last almost 20 years her salary. She has been a fantastic staff and I considered myself as a wonderful boss too. Something must be wrong with my ageing mind!
Later of the day, I sent her this message... "Not intentional dear. Perhaps I'm getting old. How lah?"
This was her reply... "Simple. Surround yourself with beautiful ladies laa.."
My question now is? Does an ageing man needs ladies to feel younger? She even emphasize beautiful ladies and not just ladies. Perhaps some readers out there could enlighten me.
Meanwhile I responded her first with... "Ok! Will take your advice dear."
Aristotle Onassis said, "If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning."
Well Robert,
ReplyDeleteperhaps you can ask her if she is beautiful enough to make you younger..... hahaha...
Have a joyous day, ya...
Hi Wan,
ReplyDeleteGood suggestion.
Twenty years ago, I engaged my secretary coz she was recommended by a friend. I wanted a girl who should be religious. The rest wasn't important any more.
When she first came to see me, everything on her was black. Today after much encouragement, she has colour on her clothing now. She is more opened in mind, understanding, caring and a willing worker. Her spiritual background helps her to be faithful and a loyal secretary to the boss.
I believe she is a God sent friend to assist my work. To me, she certainly has the beauty to make my work interesting and exciting.
You are young enough. you always mingle with younger generations, and your mind are active, not like other older people. Once in a while, ppl do forget things, we are imperfect. but surround yourself with beautiful ladies?hrmmm, has a hidden meaning i guess :)
ReplyDeleteHi Dear Adel,
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you here again. Thought you forgotten this young old man. Really miss you so much.
Yes! All my good friends are younger than me. Will tell you more on my next post tomorrow specially for you my dear.
Hi Wiseman Bob,
ReplyDeleteLet's get a littl deeper in our hearts. Imagine u are the old man in the pic, surrounded by beautiful sexy girls. Now, what goe thru your psych? You feel good, proud, young, & happy. But u still cannot run away from looking old among the young! U wish u cud look much younger, but what can u do? Maybe if the desire is strong enough, u will resort to plastic surgery, hair transplant & etc! The urge to be forever young has made people spend so much money and time! Obsession. Bob, there is such a thing as growing gracefully, at any age. There are times we behave like babies, then a toddler, then a teenager, youngman n matured man. Then death comes, n the cycle repeats. When u are at matured stage, a matured character shud b the predominant character, but sometimes he/she will adopt a romantic, childish, or a youngman/girl character. But predominantly he is a matured character! Well, lets all grow gracefully, & behave and feel accordingly when in the company of children, young people, people our age, and older people. Life that way is more real and interesting. We admit who and what we are! No illusions involved! Food for Enquiring minds..??
Never will I forget someone who taught me so much about life and relationship :) I always loiter around your blog....
ReplyDeleteHi my hero Maram,
ReplyDeleteEveryone thinks differently, we have our own choices to make.
To me.. GROWING OLD IS MANDATORY
GROWING UP...OPTIONAL. I pick Growing UP.
Hi Adel,
