Let me first start by saying a very happy birthday to Mr Charles Oputa, aka
Charly
Boy, one of those rare human beings we see once in a life time. He's a
year older today. Wishing him many more beautiful years ahead. In a new
interview with journalists, he opened about on his age, family and not
living according to norms of society. He said;
“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. That is the age of my mind. Going by my
experiences, my responsibilities, my wisdom and all, I should be about
87 years old,”
ADVERTIS
“I dress the way I feel. My
happy moments are when my usefulness is engaged, when I see the
influence I bring into people’s lives, when I’m able to add value and
make a measurable contribution to individuals and society.
He also says he never sees cherished ones off to the airport..
“I hate to say goodbye. I find it hard to do so. That’s why you may not
find me seeing cherished people to the airport unless we are travelling
together. Same for my relationships. I love forever.”
On his children,he said
“Unlike some parents who can’t
truly love more than a child at a time, I love 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,”
On regrets in life..
“Regrets don’t exist in my dictionary. I live life on the edge and to
change it would mean doing things in traditional or conventional ways.
To do that, for me, is to give up the ghost. If it’s not daunting and
scary, it certainly is not for me.”
