Irving Kahn was an American businessman and investor.
He started his carrier in 1928 and worked in his whole life of 109 years up to
last day, 24.Feb.2015.
In last days of his life, he used to go office regularly
and checked the work of his company ‘Kahn Brothers Group’.
Incident was of Irving Kahn’s 108th birthday,
he was celebrating his birthday. In office one young employee, named Peter, who
was newly appointed, asked his colleagues- How is Irving Sir able to work at
this age?
One colleague answered- Sir says, he doesn’t know his
age; that’s why he never feels old age.
Peter couldn’t understand, then one employee advised- You
should ask this question to sir, he will explain to you in best way.
The employees of office were giving gifts one-by-one to
Irving Sir.
Peter while giving gift, said- Sir, many happy returns
of the day, but I need to ask one question whose answer no one can give else
than you.
Irving Sir agreed by smiling.
Peter asked- Sir, you are 108 years old. In this old
age you are so much dedicated towards your work, how is this possible? Firstly,
people of your age are rare to live and if they are, then they will like to do
rest only. What is the reason behind all this?
Irving Kahn answered- Dear son, who said I’m old? I’m young;
I have same spirit and passion which I had during the start of my company. Birthday
is the excuse of celebrating happiness, person’s age depends on his will. If
you always have will to do something new then you will be always dedicated
towards your work and if you don’t have will to do something new, then despite
being young, you will be old.
Peter had understood that we should always keep alive
our will to stay young.
Irving Kahn was a famous Businessman, investor of
America and always an ideal for his supporters and employees.
Dear friends, The desire to do something new keeps
you always young and your mind remains active, so always keep creativity of
doing something new, then you will neither be tired from your life nor you will
feel old age. Thank You.
