My name, yeah, it’s George Eliot.
Everybody knows that.
My life in general, it's a pretty busy life, it's
fairly colorful, you know, I mean, I pretty much spend my life at racetracks.
I'm either on an airplane or a racetrack or a hotel somewhere.
So it's, it's colourful.
Keeps me busy and keeps me fit.
Healthy lifestyle, I don't know about how healthy it is.
You know,
I can't really put it down too much to the diet,
but I think a lot of it's about attitude, you know.
I mean, I know plenty of guys that are like,
I don't know, maybe late forties , early fifties,
and they're old because they want to be old.
I think they use the,
I think they use the age as an excuse to be lazy, to be quite honest.
But it's all about, you know, I mean,
just loving life and getting out there and chasing what you want out of life.
Look, I think pretty much most of my life has been an active life.
You know, if I'm not driving race cars I’ve been flying helicopters or, you know,
I do quite a bit of a bit of sport when I do get a bit of a bit of down time,
with squash or I do a little bit of gym work.
I don't do a great deal of gym work,
but I think, you know, the fact that my job has always been really active
and has kept me fairly fit to be able to do that.
I don't know that, you know,
I don't know that you'd be able to step up
and do what I do today if you came into it fresh.
I think just the fact that I've grown with it
and it's pretty much been my life the whole time
that I'm able to sustain that fitness and the level of fitness that goes with it.
And it's needed.
I think, you know, preparing myself mentally, mentally
for age is not really thinking about it too much.
I think that's the best part of it.
You know, I think if you think too deep about it and start getting all,
you know, worried and start thinking about numbers, then yeah,
that's probably when you start to get old.
I don’t really know, you know,
don't know the answer to that question because I never think about it.
I just think, you know, I guess I work with a lot of young guys.
I work with guys that are from 20 to 40,
and I think that that also helps me to stay young.
It certainly keeps my mind active, you know?
And I also lead by example.
So, you know, I make sure that I'm fit both mentally
and physically and just don't think too much about the numbers.
You know, I think it's all about collecting numbers without growing old.
Yeah.
Look, I think staying,
you know, staying social and mixing with a lot of people is very important.
And also mixing with people with the same mindset
and the same frame of mind about being active.
You know, like most of my friends are probably in their forties,
which helps me to sort of keep that that mentality, if you like.
And so, you know, I'll go and play squash or I might go to the gym
if I got some down time.
I spend a lot of time traveling.
And, you know, as I've said before, I travel with a lot of young people.
So I tend to have that, that social activity
that keeps me out there with that kind of generation.
Keeps me with it, if you like, you know.
I think you know what if I, if I was speaking with people who are working
in that industry and working with people who are aging a little.
My suggestion would be to read them and listen to them.
Don't talk to them, you know, or sorry.
Talk to them.
Don't talk at them, you know, and don't have any,
you know, preconceived thoughts.
I think that's probably the worst thing you could do.
I think if you're going to mix
with people or speak with people or treat people that are aging,
you need to really read them because they're all so different.
You know,
I've said many times that I know plenty of people that are in their forties
and they're old. That's because they want to be.
I think there's also a lot of people that are in their seventies
and or eighties who are actually young
because they're out there and they're enjoying life
and they're actually applying themselves to, you know,
physical things in life and really enjoying
what life has to offer.
So, you know, my suggestion to anybody working
in the industry would be, you know, talk to people, don't talk at them
and don't have any preconceived ideas, you know?
