A reader sent me a video clip and had this to say:
"saw this and reminded me of u, ak.
"u have close to 40 yrs to compound to be super experience gamer like this chinese uncle!"
There is much that we can learn from Ah Gong in this video clip.
【83岁大爷每天打3小时游戏,20年玩遍500张碟,孙子都跪服】
The video clip is in Mandarin and with Chinese sub-titles.
So, unfortunately, some might not be able to understand it.
Ah Gong's grandson calls him a 老頑童 (i.e. a senior who is a child at heart).
Ah Gong spends 3 hours a day gaming and says playing video games has made him a bit smarter and a bit braver!
I don't even have a PS4!
Ah Gong, you win!
So, what can we learn from Ah Gong?
Retirement is not about staying at home the whole day and being bored stiff.
There is always something new to learn and something fun to do.
Retirement can be full of fun and it should be fun.
If Ah Gong can do it, so can we!
