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 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. 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 got my first job and had responsibilities 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 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.
Summary: The story says about the young man who worry about his future. So he asked the old man "What was the best time of your life?". The old man says that when he was a child and he was taken a good care by his parents, when he got his first job, when he met his wife and fell in love and the last one when he has a baby. All of these were the best time of his life.
Response: In my opinion, I believe that whenever we do something happily, It is the best time for our life.
