If you are a 50-year-old man, consider yourself lucky, because you  are in the middle of your life now and good things are coming your way. Have you checked yourself lately? Are you happy, healthy and moving forward in life? If your answer is yes, congratulations, because you are blessed(有福的) and you must be thankful. If your answer is no, then maybe my story can give you some inspiration.(启示) When I was in my 20s , my life was full of fun. At that time , my aim was studying and trying to make out what I would do when I got to my 30s . In my 30s, life became a challenge(挑战). I had to prove to the world that I could make a difference in my life. I always kept two jobs so that I could keep going after my dreams. I also tried studying while making a living. It was not easy, but I made it when I reached 45 years old. Now I'm in my 50s,I continue to move forward and look at my life positively. To all the people who are in their 50s and more, take my advice---it is never too late to do anything. Ask yourself: after all these years of working and living, what have you accomplished? If you think you have done well, then how you improve yourself and grow even more? If you don't think you have done anything big in your life, it is time to stop to think and improve yourself. |
