Old Persian Men are Crazy

So I have this uncle who's in his mid to late 70's...no one really knows and those who do know don't tell. Anyways, I decided to show him my gym that I'm currently putting together in my garage. Thats when it all went down hill. I got lectured for 45minutes on various topics...in classic Farsi, as opposed to modern Farsi...I said 2 words in those 45minutes. Here are the main points of what he said:

1. Weights do not help your fitness, they are bad for your health
2. Run 3 miles 3 times a week
3. By the end of the 3rd month, you should be able to run the 3 miles in under 10 minutes every day
   
4. Always run in the middle of the day when the sun is at its highest, for that is when the tress are producing the most oxygen
5. There are 2 Gods that matter in this world, your mom and dad, you must do whatever they say without question
6. The only thing money should ever be spent on is food
7. You need to be a doctor, if you become anything else, you are a failure in life
8. The only thing you need to do in life is be a teacher
   
9. No matter what anyone in this world says, they don't know what they are talking about, only listen to what I say and don't be afraid to ask me anything
10. The only sport that takes any skill is tennis and basketball, everything else is a game for kids
11. Look at yourself naked in the mirror and determine your goals

The only reason I remembered any of what he said was so I can blog about it. I can't believe what a crock of sh*t my uncle is trying to feed me. I'm sick and tired of my family trying to mold me into what they want me to be. Run 3 miles in under 10minutes? Impossible...I did the research for you and him 12minutes 37seconds is the fastest, when I told him he said thats wrong because 10 years ago he was running it in 11minutes and when he was 30 he was running it in under 8.

I'm laughing so hard on the inside that my thirst has been quenched.
