Every picture tells a story don't it?
"Life that is not growing and advancing makes living only not dying."Simone de Beauvoir
Simone de Beauvoir, a pivotal figure in the feminist movement and an influential writer, encourages us to ponder what it means to advance and grow in life. The definition of 'advancing' and 'growing' varies from person to person, shaping our reactions to her statement. Some friends may advocate for a life filled with constant activity and continuous learning, while others find contentment in quiet moments with nature, leisurely walks in the woods, observing birds, reading books, or simply relishing the slow pace of life while reminiscing.
Recently, I came across a photo on Facebook, shared by an old high school friend, which triggered a flood of cherished memories. As the lyrics of a Rod Stewart song remind us, "Every picture tells a story, don't it". This photo is from 1963 when I participated in a pioneering program in my hometown, offering students a taste of entrepreneurship. It was a year of tremendous success, and those who invested in our endeavour saw their investments double in a year. The picture captures a time when we were all actively growing and advancing.
Reflecting on that moment, I like to believe that I've carried the spirit of growth and advancement throughout my working life and continue to do so in retirement. Judging by the comments on the Facebook post, it seems that everyone in the picture led a fulfilling and successful life.

Every picture tells a story that allows us to live that moment again, confirming what we saw, what we heard thought we remembered etc.
