4.It was June 15,and in two days I would be turning 30.I was afraid that my best years were now behind
me.So I asked my neighbor Nicholas,a 79-year-old man:"What was the best time of your life?"
Without hesitation(猶豫),Nicholas said,"Well,Joe,this is my philosophical(哲學的) answer to
your philosophical question:
"When I was a child in Austria and everything was taken care of for me 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 jo and had responsibilities(責任) and got paid for my efforts,that was the best
time of my life.
"When I met my wife and fell in love,that was the best time of my life.
"When World War II came,my wife and I had to flee Austria to save our lives.When we were together
and safe on a ship to North America,that was the best time of my lie.
"When we came to Canada and started a family,that 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 79 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."
