I graduated from university 10 and felt proud of myself. And I have reviewed this 11 many times. I believe it’s never too late for me to do anything except becoming a teenager.
Do I really want to 12 my first book in my forties？ I’m going to be forty anyway.
Do I really want to run a half marathon in my fifties？ I’m going to be fifty anyway.
Do I really want to travel around the 13 in my sixties？ I’m going to be sixty anyway.
I hope you never hear me say， “I’m too old for that.” 14 ， I hope you hear me say， “I’m going to be seventy anyway.”
It’s never too 15 to start something new， to do all those things that you’ve been wishing to do.
