You probably don’t remember the old Lethal Weapon movies from the 80’s. One of the main characters, Roger Murtaugh, kept saying, “I'm getting too old for this shit.” The funny thing was, he still did whatever he claimed he was too old to do.
I’d say anyone who lives with integrity is going to need to apply this concept sooner or later, not just professionally but in terms of at least one very important personal relationship: “In Chinese, we have a term called 問心無愧 (Wen Xin Wu Quei), which means that you ask your heart how it truly thinks of how much effort you have made on something, and you find out you have absolutely no guilt or regret because you have done everything you can, doesn’t matter if you succeed or not.”
