Advice to a Young Man

by Alfred E. Mann


Young man I beg of you awake

And hear the error I did make.


I too did waste away my time

And did not wait ‘til in my prime

To realize that change was late,

So I must suffer now my fate.


Throughout my life the road’s been steep,

The fruits have been so few to reap.


If only I had listened then


When I was young to older men


The happiness I sought to earn

Might not have been so hard to learn.


It’s far too late to make amend

For life for me is soon to end.


And so my son don’t waste away

Those precious hours of every day.

Whate’er you can store up within

For life repays what you put in.

Al Mann's 10 Most Essential Ingredients for Business Success..... 3 out of the 10 were Capital and very good chance MNKD runs out.  Should have raised more capital........

mango , I apologize, I know it was bad to like your follow up post and apologize if my like got it removed. I thank you for the chuckle you added to my day. Prolly now makes me an official chuckle head.

I'll always be an Al Mann fan but nobody is perfect.  It wasn't meant to be a snide comment but in basically every presentation he gave he held capital under a microscope and as of today the company is currently running on fumes.  Matt is to blame as well.  They essentially handed Sanofi the reigns with no backup plan and no backup cash.  For the folks that brought up the idea about raising funds during the partnership they were quickly shot down by the other side saying why would they ever do that Afrezza will be generating $500MM in the first year.

You and @reverselo are still trolls for hijaking this thread.

Ya'll two can start your own threads and say those things because it is completely irrelevant to the poem and disrespectful.
