You can do anything
So I was at the supermarket earlier today. Wanting to grab something from the top of the shelf, I asked the uncle who was in the way if he could move a little, Excuse me, uncle, can move a bit so I can take cup noodle?
.
I was not prepared for what came next, he actually answered (this conversation was in mandarin of course), if you put in your best, you can do anything
. It was actually a good laugh but I thought nothing of it at that moment.
Now that I think about it, I am fairly convinced he was me. From the future. To tell me that I need to work hard and stop procrastinating like I have been for the past 23 years. Nothing like a good old epiphany.
In about 50 years’ time, when I solve the Grandfather Paradox and travel back to warn the then 23 years old me, I will know this man was me for sure.
Off to work hard now!
