Why take life for granted when there is so much potential in it. The way Mr. Richard Overton lives his life is a great example of how we should live ours. Through his now 112 years of life he has never stopped valuing what he has, bringing joy to others, and doing what makes him happy. Never let something so beautiful as the gift of living go to waste because like he says in the National Geographic video below, “I don’t know when I’m going. You either… neither of us knows when he is going.”
