31、ld lady smiling at me.She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. Im eighty-seven years old.

34、iskey is killing me!

35、uccess. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You have got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking a round who are dead and dont even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in b
36、ed for one full year and dont do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. Anyone can grow older. That doesnt take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually dont have regrets for what we did, but rather

41、of what they dream of becoming? Blame it on pure dreaming and lack of surrounding goals for achieving their dreams. Setting goals is very significant part of accomplishing and positive actions. It is like scaling(攀爬) a 200 feet construction and marking in the early hours on what feet you would like
42、to reach at this specific period. People who set goals literally generate a map of their goal settings in life, marking where they should start, where to stop, where to study a bit, and where and when to end.
