I had the most queer encounter...
I met a taxi uncle, some guy in his 60s, and unlike most of the population in the same age group, he does not possess the category's traits, which are as follows:
They aged blame their age for the deterioration of their brain cells, although science have already proven that while our physical cells lose quality over time, brain cells are linked to the neuro-connections established in the "network", and while you may lose a percentage of these cells with age, your intelligence and sharpness of thought will continue to increase should you continue to allow your brain to be put to good use.
They believe life has come to an end, and that they should not be thinking of inventions, creations or entrepreneurship. They think the last 1/3 of their life should be spent allowing themselves to decompose.
They think they no longer have the need to keep up with technology. In fact, they blame technology for no slowing down for them. They quietly compete amongst their group of miserable friends, to see who is more sua-ku.
Not only does our dear taxi uncle exempt himself from the abovementioned list, he has displayed (while I have to truly pardon his lack of flair for verbal expression), a remarkably honed mental process of upside-down thinking and keen understanding of the fundamentals of the Shamrock and Da-Vincian principles.
His invention, though still in concept, is detailed and breathes of the latest technological understanding (He claims to have put 4 years into R&D, I'll discount that to 2 years in my skeptisim). He even sports a powerful understanding in chemistry and materials engineering I can bet even my university mates would be baffled.
I shall help him solidify the invention should he convince me when we meet again. How refreshing. If only my dad was like that too, haha ;)
