wow my grandpa is way stronger than me in armwrestling and sometimes faster than me too

I always lose my grandpa when we have armwrestling. his hand is very strong even now. I am 17 and he is 66. I remember in 2015 april when we were waiting for a train in railway station we were having a running race of going down the stairs and he surprisingly ran faster than me. I was 15 and he was 64 that time

You are on the verge of learning something important. Take it one step further. You have learned to respect your grandfather for his strength---physically. But he has strength in a lot more deeper ways that you can learn from too. I don't know him--but I know this to be true. Those 66 years have taught him more about being a man--about life---about values--than you can ever learn on your own from a book. As you look at your grandfather realize he is a walking encyclopedia of experiences--knowledge--maturity----all the things that you will NEED to learn to be the man. Talk to him---while you can. At any time he may be gone. Inside of his mind is your family history. There's tips in there on how to do hard things--easier. There's advice based on experience. There is life knowledge you can't get until you've spent 66 years in life's school. Arm wrestling is just the first page. There's a whole book left to read---if you just do it. Trust me---you'll be better for it.

@baby123 Old enough to know I didn't talk to my grandfather nearly enough. Then one day I couldn't anymore. Now I wonder....just how much could I have learned from him--if I wasn't so busy thinking I knew it all?

@baby123 And there are many who die at birth...or at 15..or at 30. The point is----no one is going to get out of this life alive---and you never know when it's your time to go. While you can----if that is a year or 30 more----make the most of it before one day you realize its too late to do it now.
