Not an easy field to make a lasting career in.
Also, I keep looking forward. At 60, I feel in many ways that I've only begun, and I intend to keep going for a long time to come. Like my golden retriever, I remain eternally optimistic.

I think one of the today´s people´s big problem seem to be (at least in the western countries) that everybody´s must achieve something big. I don´t think I have achieved anything real big but still I think I have had interesting life as this far. And I think there is still coming interesting things into my life and that´s enough to me.
