Was at an event yesterday which was centred around physio and medical management of elite athletes, one of the speakers was Dr Steve Peters, the shrink who works with the GB cycle team. A question that he asked us was:

Pretend you are around 100yrs old and you have only 20 seconds to live. A child comes up to you and asks you what they should do with their life. What do you tell them?

“Don’t die old.”

Grandfather Nutt, aged 92.

Don’t be a slave to possessions.

Don’t waste the last 20 seconds off your life telling other people what to do?

enjoy 🙂

Log on to stw and hope there’s a big hitter/oracle to argue with.

You can type a lot in 20s.

apart from:

“ever seen a fully grown man naked?”
“oh my good god tom cruise was right!”
“i’m….. dying….. tell my wife….. I…..”

?

Think for yourself.

The only thought that would provoke would be “what a shit question to ask” (Dr Peters, not the child)

to be honest, i’m naturally suspicious of anyone who lives to 100, I just assume that they’ve led a pretty healthy and boring life, so I wouldn’t want to listen to their advice. Who the hell wants to live for 100 boring years?

Ummmm…. errr…. welll… errr… Okay… right… you know…. balls.

Open your heart and your mind to the endless possibilities that the universe will place in your path

Or

Never buy an orange 5

money is not the only way to be rich.

Can’t believe no one has suggested…..

I know the answer, I know the answer! I know what tyres for…..

*Fades in to eternity……*

Oh, you young people act like old men. You have no fun.

Josephine Baker last words

The famed starlet was reportedly attempting to seduce a man several decades younger than she was. She died of a stroke later that night.

What Samuri said + trust your instincts

“get a penis, i need you to write down my last wobblebutshake.. i dont want my last words to be silly. VAGINA. quick… hurry….”

i have heard a little about his approach, though I suspect they are not letting much of it out!?

Interested in the question, guess the context was, what you do with your life, purpose, meaning etc?

What was his answer?

Oh and my answer “Ride your bikes as much as you can” of course.

“See, I told you I was ill”

wear sunscreen

“Smash up the system”

or

“Speak up son, I’m a bit deaf”

“Piss off and pester someone else off you irritating little shizzle,oops I’ve wet myself again.Who are you?Where am I?This were all fields when I were a kid.Do you want a wurthers original?”

enjoy it? simple really.

His answer was “it doesn’t matter.”

Do stuff, be nice, don’t have regrets.

I’d send them the link to this…..

“Love, be loved and enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think.”

Follow the path less trodden

14:15 at Haydock, tell your Dad to put everything on number 4.

His answer was “it doesn’t matter.”

Nice answer, presumably because they won’t listen? Youngsters never do.

“You’re standing on my oxygen pipe”

His answer was “it doesn’t matter.”

Did he literally mean “it doesn’t matter what you do with your life”, or “it doesn’t matter what I tell you you should do with your life”?

In the words of the Butthole Surfers…

The funny thing about regret is that it’s better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven’t done… And by the way, if you see your mom this weekend, will you be sure and tell her SATAN! SATAN! SATAN!

Father Christmas isn’t real.

before I read all the replies…

“love unconditionall, bring peace and joy to those around you. compete, work and contribute to the best of your abilities”

Father Christmas doesn’t exist.

“I’m sorry, what was that my dear?
“No, you’ll have to speak up, I’m a bit deaf you see.
“Oh, right. What do do with your life eh? Well…”

Wear sun screen.

What do you tell them?

“Will you piss off, I’ve only got 20 seconds left. Fifteen now, argh!”
