In order to retire young and retire rich, you will probably need to train for the future, a future that does not yet exist. A the IBM executive said. The mistake adult make when looking at the future is that they see the future from their own eyes. That is why so many adults cannot see the change that are coming. Maybe IBM has learned the lesson that your Bill Gates taught them. The lesson is, if you want to see the future, you need to see it through younger eyes. How you respond to changes in fashion, music and technology reflects how you think and how flexible your metal context id. If you are stuck in the past or out of sync with the present you may miss the future entirely.
The other way to see the future is to study the past. N my reality, history does have tendency to repeat itself, even though it may not repeat itself in exactly the same way. Many adults miss the future or are run over by the future because their plans for the future have no vision of the past.`
For many people, letting go to their past and stopping bravely into the uncertainty of the future is much harder than becoming rich and retiring young. For millions of people, it is safer and more secure to stay stuck in the context, clothes and collections of their parents and the past.
