The first day of school our professor introduced a little old lady to us.
"Why are you in college at such a young age?" I asked later. She jokingly replied, " I'm here runescape money
to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and
then retire and travel."
"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivatedher to be
taking on this challenge at her age. "I always dreamed of having a
college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.
We became instant friends. Every day for the next three Maple Story Mesos
months we would leave class together and tolk nonstop. I was always
listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience
with me.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to make a speech to our
football team. I'll never forget what she taught us. As she began to
deliverher prepared speech, she dropped her note card on the floor. A
little embarrassed she simply said, "I'm sorry. This whiskey is killing
me! I'll never get my speech back ffxi gil
in order so let me just tell you what I know." As we laughed she
cleared her throat and began:" We do not stop playing because we are
old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to
staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh
and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your
dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and
don't even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older
and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one
full year ffxi gil
and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old.
Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talentor ability. The idea
is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no
regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but
rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are
those with regrets."
At the year's end Rose finished the college degree. One week after
graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college
students attended her funeral to honorthe wonderful woman runescape money who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.
