15．A job is more than a job，especially to the old．"It's not the money that matters，but the sense of self-worth，"56-year-old Cheng Wonlan said．So，every day Ms Cheng carries a bag of parcels，letters and documents and does her rounds in North Point．She's a courier（快递员）．
Five years ago，Ms Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic．She had worked there for 30years but became jobless when the doctor moved away．It was difficult for her to find another job as a nurse．"People do not trust my ability when they learn how old I am，"she said．After two years of searching，she eventually found another nursing job．But then after two years，she quit．Why？
"My colleagues were young and they didn't understand me because of my age．They often asked me，‘You are so old．What are you working for？'I was very unhappy，"she said．When the rest of her family left for work，she was lonely and bored at home．Then her neighbours told her about Employees'Retraining Board offering retraining courses for older people．These courses are specifically designed to encourage the older people back to work．
"I was interested in courier work．I didn't think my age was a barrier（障碍） because I was fit，"she said．Upon graduating，Ms Cheng was offered a job by a company．But then Ms Cheng was faced with a conflict：she was caught between honour and employment．"I felt embarrassed about carrying and delivering letters and parcels，"she said．It took Ms Cheng 24hours to make up her mind：there was nothing wrong or embarrassing about doing the job．So she went off to work as a courier．
Ms Cheng's employer，Anthony Chong，is delighted with her responsible attitude and said，"I hire older people because they are able and reliable．Age is not an important factor but attitude is．Many old people will not run from difficulties but the young ones will．"

5．From a very early age，some children exhibit better
self-control than others．Now，a new study that began with about 1，000 children in New Zealand has tracked how a child's low self-control can predict poor health，money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years．
Researchers have been studying this group of children for decades now．They observed the level of self-control the youngsters displayed．Parents，teachers，even the kids themselves，scored the youngsters on measures like"acting before thinking"and"Persistence in reaching goals．"
The study led  by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed 1，000 children from birth to age 32 in Dunedin，New Zealand．
"The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten，later on had the most health problems in their 30s，"Moffitt said，"and they had the worst financial situation．They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income．"Moffitt explained that self-control problems were widely observed，and weren't just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids．
Moffitt said it's still unclear why some children have better self-control than others，though she said other researchers have found that it's mostly a learned behavior，with relatively little genetic influence．But good self-control can be set to run in familles because children with good self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents．But the good news，Moffitt said，is that self-control can be taught by parents，and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective．
