When a person is young we start asking them: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Or maybe: “What do you want to do with your life?” They have no idea. They have not experienced enough of life to know what it’s all about. However, once you have lived for many years, tried many different things, experienced many far-away places, and have finally reached a point where you are ready to decide what you really want to do with your life - - - You don’t have much of your life left to live!
When a young person gets out of school and decides regardless of whether they like it or not, they are going to need to get a job. The reality usually sets in when they realize that money REALLY DOESN’T grow on trees and if they want to continue to purchase things for themselves they are going to need a job so they have money coming in. The problem is they learn that it’s hard to get a job because they have NO experience. Most businesses want someone who has a least a bit of knowledge about what they are doing. Now here’s the unfair part: Once you have spent decades gaining the experience everyone wants you to have businesses expect you to retire! If you only want a part-time job to supplement your retirement they can’t believe it. “With your experience you’ll leave if a better position comes along!” they say.
However, if we could live our lives backwards things could work out better for us. When we have no experience either within the workplace or within life, we would be OLD! As we grow younger we could gain the experience, the knowledge, and the enthusiasm to fully excel at any position we may choose to enter. On top of that we would have our energy and stamina at the most opportune time to fulfill all the things we could get accomplished.
Yes life is not fair. But whatever life we have is better than the current alternative of having no life at all!

if you had to live the life of someone else!"
