Charley Boy - an exclusive on the veteran

Question: What is your true/real Age?
Answer: Truth is, I don’t really know my age; how people came about 64 is still a wonder to me. I’m not particular about how old or young the number is, what I care about is the age of my mind and then the age of my body.
From my look, my energy and all, I feel 35 or slightly younger, then the age of my mind, going by my experiences, my responsibilities, my wisdom and all, I should be about 87.
Question: Lessons Learnt So Far
Answer: To always be true to myself, to be open, and learn to be my own best friend because loyalty and commitment are hard to come by. Experience has taught me to be strong. I’ve mastered the art of contentment and clean living, everything must be in moderation. I’ve learnt to avoid stress and baggages.Question: Principle(s) Gathered Along The Way
Answer: Live and let live. You can’t be beefing, judging or labeling other people because you don’t know or understand how they’re wired.
Question: Lifestyle Changes
Answer: I’m less adventurous than I used to be, may be because I’ve been there done that. I’m a bit simmered down now, nothing to prove anymore, my focus now is to keep nurturing the peace and the calm that I feel within.
My fashion has always depended on my mood, it’s still the same. I dress the way I feel
Question: Very Happy Moments
Answer: When my usefulness is engaged, when I see the influence I bring in people’s lives, when I’m able to add value and make measurable contribution to individuals and society. When people who come in contact with me tell me am not what they thought or expected I would be. A lot of these would form my very happy moments.
Question: What you hate most
Answer: I hate to say goodbye. I find it hard to do, that’s why you may not find me seeing cherished people to the airport unless we are traveling together. Same for my relationships, I love forever, I hate to say goodbye.
Question: What does Family mean to you?
Answer: I have always said it; my family is my rock, my children are my joy and pride. Family is what I’ve known all my life. Unlike some parents who can’t truly love more than a child per time, I love all all my children in different ways and I see a bit of me in all of them, up to my siblings, grandchildren and all. Family is really what I have been blessed with, and my happiest moments have been family times.
Question: Regrets over the years
Answer: As an adventurous person, I goofed many times but if I was to live it all over again  I wouldn’t change a thing. By this I mean I don’t have regrets, it doesn’t exist in my dictionary. I live life on the edge and to change it would mean doing things in traditional conventional ways. To do that, for me, is to give up the ghost. If it’s no daunting and scary, it certainly is not for me.
I want to think that I scare myself too, sometimes. Ha ha.
Question: What to expect from now
Answer: Expect to see more exciting things as I reinvent myself, my brand and as I go a notch higher in shocking conventional and unintelligent minds. More creative inspiration. Watch out from here and now!
