By the time I was 15 we’ve learned to walk, talk and a bit about our world and relationships. It seemed like a long time, but I have around four times more ahead.
By the time I finished university I thought I knew a lot and yet I’ve had 60 years to go. Three times more than what I’ve lived through.

It took me 30 years to start to get different perspective. I thought I was thinking ahead while I was planning barely two years in advance. 2.5% of my life. Or 4% of the rest.
