A 78 year Old man still bursting iron ||My Actifit Report Card: March 23 2021
Even at old age, one can still be productive.
Welcome to my blog good friend. Remember that I promised to bring to you the update on how we’ve been pushing the irrigation system.
I came with an interesting story concerning the elderly and youths that worked at my site today.
I requested for more workers; iron bursters to be precise. And the advertisement went viral that many youths that specialize on iron bursting/bending came in their numbers.
But I realized that there’s this aged
man that came for same job too just like the youths. The youths among them wanted to overshadow him so that they can eject him away from the equation.
But I felt pity and could even touched his thought process at that point. I perceived that he is in need for a job to be able to take care of himself.
I intervened and brought him in to work for me along with other young youths.
I marveled at his strength and experience in the job! At a point he became the one directing others on the best approach to their line of work.
I enjoyed his time at my site today. I later paid him more that I paid the youths.
Thanks for coming around.

There is wisdom with age, and what you did for him was thoughtful and kind. In turn, he brought knowledge to your project that perhaps the more youthful did not have. God sees. 😇
You did well with your 6123 @actifit steps for the day! Take care my friend and have a blessed evening and day tomorrow!
Thanks Beth! You’re right, indeed there’s wisdom and experience with age! I witnessed it.
In our world today, so may disregard anyone over 50, 60, 70 or more years of age as being old and not with it. That simply is not true! Sometimes, the old ways are really better, or sometimes a blending of old an new emerge into a better way, or better knowledge. Take care my friend! Have a good night.
Thanks a lot for those wisdom in your comments. I pray that I become better in dealing with my fellow humans and with other creatures.
I crave to be renewed daily in my mind through knowledge from the word. Love is needed much, wisdom and understanding are also needed in this journey of life so that one can always make the right decision that will please God.
You are so right, my friend! I find something new that I didn't either see or need at the time, when I am in the Word.
We are commanded to love God first and then our neighbor as ourself. Love is what matters. Take care my brother.
It is admirable to see the spirit that this old man reflects when working, I hope I can reach that age with such vitality. Excellent publication @maxdevalue ! :D
Beautiful comment here! I share same opinion and wishes with you. The old man seems optimistic and never gets tired; he worked for 8 hours without any dull moment.
I really appreciated him for such faith he has in himself.
Thanks for coming around.
