It was June 15,and in two days I would be turning thirty. I was insecure about entering a new decade of my life and feared that my best years were now behind me. My daily routine included going to the gym for a workout before going to work.Every morning I would see my friend Nicholas at the gym.He was seventy-nine years old and in terrific shape.As I greeted Nicholas on this particular day,he noticed I wasn't full of my usual vitality and asked if there was anything wrong.I told him I was feeling anxious about turning thirty.I wondered how I would look back on my life once I reached Nicholas's age,so I asked him,"What was the best time of your life?" Without hesitation,Nicholas replied,Well,Joe,this is my philosophical answer to your philosophical question: "When I was a child in Austria and everything was taken care of for me and I was nurtured by my parents,that was the best time of 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 my first job and had responsibilities and got paid for my efforts,which was the best time of my life." "When I met my wife and fell in love,which was the best time of my life." "The Second World War came,and my wife and I had to flee Austria to save our lives. When we were together and safe on a ship bound for North America,which was the best time of my life." "When we came to Canada and started a family,which 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,Joe,I am seventy-nine years old.I have my health,I feel good and I am in love with my wife just as I was when we first met.This is the best time of my life." | |
