RE: The future owes you nothing [EN/PT]

πŸ˜€ Reading this post reminds me of my father, an incredibly multifaceted man for whom the word "planning" seemed to make him extremely uncomfortable πŸ˜‚... He would do things like come home on a Friday, throw a couple of shirts and a pair of pants into a backpack, get in the car, start it, and yell from inside: "Let's go spend the weekend in 'Merida'!"... A tourist city 450 km from our home!... And anyone who wasn't in the car within the next 5 minutes simply stayed home (and that even applied to my mother) πŸ˜‚... It was chaotic, but that was often how my father was!... And I, who am even a systems engineer and therefore "planning" is something I had very much in mind during my career, once I was an adult I asked my father: "Can you tell me why you're like this, why you try to do everything on the spur of the moment without thinking, Dad?"... And my father, with a whiskey in his hand (as he did almost every afternoon) blurted out She burst into loud laughter and said to me, "Kid!... Don't you know that a donkey that thinks will throw away its load?" πŸ˜‚... And she kept laughing... My childhood and youth were full of that, but fortunately my mother (still alive) worked as a teacher for about 40 years and has a devastatingly strong character... And she certainly knows how to plan everything! πŸ˜„

As always, your article is excellent, with fresh and eloquent writing that even makes one want to write!

Thanks for sharing @michupa friend!

There is a lot of wisdom in this story, thank you for sharing! Very interesting overall, but from an outside perspective, I can see how your father’s improvisational way of living and your mother’s natural inclination for planning could be the ideal balance for things to work out. Very good!
