 I'm 41 years old. The average life expectancy for males in the United States is 79 years old. I'm at the half time of my life. That first half went by really quick.

But we live in a world that wants us to skip steps, that encourages us to chase what's hot and what's flashy and what's sexy and ignore what's basic. The basics work.
