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.
