The age forty-four is a milestone, one might come to think the years are rightly on his side, but no, in five years time you'll be fifty, and the reality is dawning on each and everyone that time is up. Or rather say, that's just the beginning, they say a fool at forty is a fool forever, maybe it's true, maybe it's not, for some, there life starts at fifty, there achievements starts there.

We now live in a world where everyone wants to be rich in the shortest period at an early age and retire very early to live in the Bahamas before the age of forty. So the race is on, online bussinesses flourish everywhere, promising returns they know they can't give. Invest and upgrade they say, for the day of ROI is coming, so the gluttons and the greedy grab that, hope that the promise is true, sold there property and life, invest in a bussiness that has no structure, and the fool sits down and relax, waiting for the day the profit will come, he waits, hope and pray, hope has degenerates to howl, despair has replaced profit. Before he could come to the reality of things, the many waters have passed under the bridge. Perhaps, if a fellow has told him of steemit.

There lies also that man, he thought time was still on his side, bottle popping, booze non-stop, follows the skirt line everywhere, he parties so hard and forgot he has a son at home waiting for his daddy, hopping into every places like a squirrel, till the time ticks forty-four. On his birthday he came to his sense as his wife asked him if he has a wish to wish before he blows off the cake candle. He paused for a while a thought went through his mind, isn't it yet time to amend my ways?. I've damaged my wife's health twice with STDs. Isn't it yet time to put a stop to this?. So he promised himself and wished with the whole of his heart.

At age forty-four, I'll be a responsible man.
