A short YouTube commentary by TJ Walker using the Greenland shark as a metaphor for purposeful, steady living. The speaker highlights the shark's slow but constant movement, its generalist diet (avoiding 'junk food'), and an exceptionally long lifespan (300–400 years) to argue for having daily purpose and avoiding retirement-like inactivity.

Are you looking for a new role model? I'd like to suggest the Greenland shark. The Greenland shark moves very slowly, less than a mile an hour, but it's always moving. It has a purpose for every day. It goes out and gets food. Now, typically doesn't go around attacking things or attacking people. It eats basically anything, but no junk food. And it lives a long time. It lives 300 to 400 years. That, to me, is a good role model. Have a purpose in life. It doesn't retire and it doesn't eat a lot of junk food. It's always moving and it lives pretty much forever. Sounds like a good role model to me.
