It is June 15th, and in two days, I will be thirty. I am afraid that my best years will be behind me.
I usually go to the sports club to exercise before going to work. Every morning, I see my friend Nicholas at the sports club. He is seventy-nine years old. I asked him,” What was the best time of your life?”
“When I was a child in Austria and was taken care of by my parents, that was the best time my life.
When I was going to school and learning the things I know today, that was the best time of my life.
When I got the first job and got paid for my work, that was the best time of my life.
When I was a young father, watching my children grow up, that was the best time of my life.
And now, Jack, I am seventy-nine years old. I have my health and feel good, this is the best time of my life.”
