Inspirational talks or videos for my near-retirement age dad?
My dad and I just watched Steve Jobs's 2005 Stanford commencement speech, and while he acknowledged the value of Jobs's message (follow your dreams, live in full while knowing that it's short), my dad essentially gave up on the idea of his own dreams or passions.
I'm not asking for miracles - I don't expect any TED talk or video to convince my dad to take up programming and join a start up - I just want to know if there's anything out there that can put a little more spark in my dad's life. Inspiring stories or videos of older (more refined?) people turning their lives around or reorienting to pursue their dreams. If you're an HN reader and you're in that position, I would love to hear your story.
What can inspire a man nearing retirement age to live the life of his dreams?
