Write a letter to your 100-year-old self.

Dear 100-Year-Old Me,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. Reaching a century of life is an incredible milestone, one that few get to experience. As I write this, I wonder what wisdom you have gathered, what stories you could tell, and what memories still bring a smile to your face.

Right now, I am still in the midst of my journey working, traveling, and constantly learning. Life is full of challenges, but also moments of joy and adventure. I hope you look back on these years with pride, knowing that every risk taken and every decision made was worth it. I wonder, do you still remember the thrill of drilling in the most remote corners of the world? The satisfaction of completing a difficult project? The friendships forged in the toughest of conditions?

I also hope that you’ve taken the time to slow down, to appreciate the simple pleasures watching the sunrise, sharing a laugh, reading a good book. Have you finally learned to relax? Or does the fire of curiosity and ambition still burn as brightly as ever?

If there’s one thing I’d like to ask, it’s this: Did I live well? Did I make a difference in some way? I hope the answer is yes. And if not, I hope you still have the strength and courage to change that, even now.

No matter what, I want you to know that I am proud of you. You made it. You’ve seen a century of life, and that alone is an achievement worth celebrating.

With admiration and hope,

Your Younger Self

Lajos
