      6 Pack Ceo - Paul Giubergia

      Epilogue

      Foreword

      Reality shows are very popular these days, from caveman survival takes where you eat bugs and carcasses of dead animals for survival to celebrity fathers and children takes on country homestays! In the former, I don’t know how this show can survive! Why would anyone who is normal want to live like a caveman! The show may be real, but it’s too far away from your life or mine! However, in the latter case it is understandable, because it’s a great way to advertise, and because it is an advertisement, it is sensationalized and acted; therefore, not so real!

      Like everyone else, after I turned fifty, I started to recount what I’ve done and what I’d like to accomplish for the next half of my life (bucket lists)! Thus, by the time you read this, I will have accomplished the running of a full marathon and checked it off my bucket list. Luckily, I’ve done many things in my life, so my bucket lists are not too long; but one thing is for sure: everything in my bucket list will be something I enjoy doing because I don’t believe in doing anything dangerous or that I’m not comfortable with, like skydiving or jumping off a mountain in a squirrel suit. My point is, everything I do is because I want to do it, and because I enjoy doing it!

      This year I’ll be fifty-four and intend to run a full marathon (and check that off my bucket list). It’s something I wanted to do all my life, but I was afraid to do it because I’m told that a bodybuilder cannot run a marathon! In fact, most my friends think I’m crazy or say I should start with a half-marathon first, and some even think I’m going through a mid-life crisis!

      On the former opinion, I will prove them wrong because not only do I have the will, I also have the strength and the Smart training to finish it—and most of all, I will enjoy the training up to the day I finish the marathon. However, I can understand why they’re concerned, for you know the story: the first marathon was run by a Greek soldier who ran back to his Capital to report the news that they’d won the battle against their enemy, and the story goes that he died afterward. It is also true that the 42-km (26 miles) run is hard enough for a regular runner so it will definitely be harder for a body like mine; but no worries, this is why I’m doing it, because I have my secret weapon (SMART SERIES), which will provide me with the nutrition required for extreme physical demand. As for the latter opinion, I’m already way past my mid-life crisis. I’m doing the marathon because I want to and I like it, and I get the highest rush knowing an ice-cold beer is waiting for me after each training run.

      At the end of the day, everything I do, I do because I enjoy it, and this is my definition of a good life.

      I will show you how you too can prepare for a full marathon in five months and go through the training without compromising on your good wine, gourmet food and good lifestyle (a lifestyle I’ve been preaching for the past thirty-five years!).

      In this book, I want to share the good life I’ve lived for over half a century (and as realistically as possible, because it all happened!). I will show you how I’ve kicked off the second half of my life with even more exciting things that you can all do too to get the most joy out of life. I’ll reveal how I stay healthy and fit so I can travel all over the world enjoying good food, good wines and a good life. Of course, to achieve this lifestyle you must be financially sound, so I will tell you how I make money, as well as what to do as entrepreneurs when you go through down times. I’ve gone through it all, and I will share it all with you. The most important issue in this book is too not let the cliché don’t wait till it is too late to take care of your health turn into reality.

      All the events in this book are real and have occurred, and nothing has been sensationalized. If anything, it’s been under-sensationalized because I’m not a good writer. I’m writing this book because I believe the regimentation in my life is the right one, and it can be copied by you. If nothing else, the health advice in this book has proven to work, so don’t delay: start practicing so you can enjoy the good life you deserve!

      What A Dream Life Looks Like for Over-Fifties

      Trip to Croatia! One of my best vacations ever. On September 2015, I got together with my Canadian friends Tom and Sonya, Ken and Debbie, Les and Marti and Jock and Elaine (the boys are all part of our annual Osoyoos retreat) and chartered a yacht (the Princess Diane ) to sail through the blue waters off the west coast of Croatia. I can tell you now that the main reason the trip was so wonderful was because of friendship!

      Every day for seven days, our yacht would dock at a different island, and each island had its own characteristics ranging from quiet sleeping fishing villages to lively young disco-pounding lanes full of tourists, and from pirate villages to Roman forts. We’d begin the day with a bike ride to explore the historical trails, visiting stone walls over 2,500 years old (still standing) and stone houses over 900 years old and enjoy the uncommercialized lifestyle of the villagers. Like on all European biking trails, you wind your way through vineyards, olive groves and fig groves until you arrive at the villages, where you will first be greeted by a church at the entrance of the village and then for sure to wind up to finding the biggest church in the center of the village! Our ride always ended at the center of the town, so naturally we’d find a beer joint for a pint or two, shoot the breeze and watch people go by. This is what I call good life! Afterward, someone in the group would go out scouting for our lunch restaurant (somehow, Les, seventy-six years young, ended up being our dinner scouter, and he did a great job for the whole week). We’d enjoy a nice fresh made pasta and lots of wine, of course!

      After each lunch, we’d go back to the yacht and set sail to the next island, and in between, the captain would stop and let us take a dip in the blue water. The yacht usually docked around 5 p.m., and at 5:30 p.m. or so, we’d have a cocktail party at the bow of the yacht. Then we’d head into town for shopping and dinner around 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. (The food was great! Lots of seafood, roasted goat, pasta, cheese and wine. By the way, for the wine buff, the California varietal zinfandel originated from Croatia!). Dinner was always great because of the atmosphere. Every restaurant has its own history and ambience, so you don’t mind spending two to three hours for dinner each night. Of course, the wine helps too! After dinner, we’d go back to yacht and have a cigar and a night-cap before we retired to the room.

      Every day was a good day! Perhaps I’d been living in Taiwan for too long and had forgotten the slow lifestyle that I was brought up with. Croatia definitely reminded me a few things and practices in life that I need to adopt again if I am to find the good life that God intended for me. Below are the life practices that I was reminded of or learned from Croatians:

      Trust: With so much news and conversations focusing on bad things happening around the world, it’s easy to get paranoid and think everyone is out to get us. We forget that the great majority of people have the best of intentions. For example, in the past when I visited a foreign land and needed to hire transportation to the hotel, I was instantly worried that the taxi was going to be a terrible experience. When we landed in Split, I had the same awful feeling about hiring a taxi to our hotel, because I was thinking I’d have to haggle over the price and assume I’m being ripped off. So a taxi ride is never a good experience for me. However, my taxi experience in Croatia was different. The price was lower than listed in travel guide, and the driver was friendly and did not make me defensive or edgy.

      Happy Breakfast: Every day, we started off with a full breakfast served with a picturesque view. Breakfast was made with all the freshest local ingredients including ham, eggs and freshly made bread. You just can’t go wrong during a day when you’ve had a good breakfast to start with! These days back home, you consider yourself lucky if you can go to McDonald’s and grab a McBreakfast to eat on your way to work!

      Enjoy long meals: We spent longer on every meal in Croatia then we normally would because at every meal, whether breakfast, lunch or dinner, the atmosphere was so nice we could feel gratified just sitting around the dining table.

      I remember our first night when we were all complaining that dinner took us just a little over two hours and we said we’d not go back to the restaurant again because it was so slow. However, after observing the locals, we realized we were definitely rushing. Eating is not purely a utilitarian act to keep us nourished. It is an opportunity, three times a day, to slow down, reflect and spend time with people you care about.

      Drink wine: When was the last time you drank wine in a hurry? Probably not because you cannot enjoy wine when you have to chug it down. Unlike eating, drinking wine cannot be hurried.
