i just opened my facebook account and found such interesting story to read. it's talking about a woman, she is old enough but has such kind of great spirit, which is quite hard to be found in young aged-people nowadays. Her name is Rose, she was 87 years old when she's a college student. she's well known because she is really friendly at that time. she could easily make friend with the students at the college although they're younger than her. there's a student who was really curious about her reason, why in such age she decided to continue her study at the college. since she isn't young anymore. she said, one of her dream is having a college education, and finally she could get one. after class she often met and talked with another student sharing about her experiences, she's becoming one of the icon of the campus because of her spirit. the interesting part of that story is her speech  “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 and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old.
If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.
Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding 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.”

indeed, she is totally right, i do really impress with her great spirit in learning new thing, and i also found that there is a certain differentiation between growing old and growing up. i also learn from her that never too late to be all you possibly be, as long as you have tried to do your best in order to make it happen. 

Another thing that amazed me so much is this old lady could finished her study and finally she died peacefully, she showed such great example of spirit and willingness. i do hope that i can have such kind of spirit in myself, and keep trying to achieve all my dreams, laugh often and be happy.
