Birthday musings… What worked, what didn’t work?

Sara was 90 year olds when she gave birth to Yitzhak… if the bible is any indication of what life was some 4000 years ago…

Some 50 years ago I met a group of Danish students, back in Hungary, on a train. We struck up a conversation. At some point they exclaimed: “You’ll never retire. You’ll be working way past your 70’s!”

I was still an architecture student, and I must have been excited about that… Being an architecture student and being a working architect are worlds apart. One is exciting, the other is not… That’s probably why I am not an architect any more. It was drudgery.

I am equally if not more excited about my current profession… and yes, I am 73 today, and I am still working… no retirement in mind.

The biggest compliment I got today was from a student who has some comparison to base on what she says, she spent five years in Landmark Education, a transformational teaching company. I quote:

“Dear Sophie,

I wish you a very happy birthday.

Please know you are loved and appreciated around the world, today and always.
