On the first day of school, Jack found a little old lady with a warm smile.“Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m 87 years old.”she said.

“Why are you in university at such a YOUNG age?” Jack asked.

“I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids, and then retired and travel.” she answered.

Jack knew she’s joking but he was surprised what encouraged her to be here at her age.

“I always dreamed of having a university education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. We became friends. Every day they would talk after class. Jack always enjoyed listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom(智慧) and experience with him. And Rose easily made friends wherever she went.

“Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent(天才) or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change...”
