Growing up is selectively.

Today  is the first truly winter morning in this year. I stumbled somewhere on a story, which seemed  to me  an interesting one. So here is for U to read.
Growing up is selectively. On one of the lectures, the professor presented us with a newcomer. At that moment I felt a light touch to my shoulder. Looking back, I saw a little old woman, smiling at me so openly, that I also smiled.
- Hi, darling, my name is Rose and I am 87 years old, - she said. - Can I sit down? - I smiled and moved to make way for her.
- Of course, sit down. May I ask what led you to the University in such an innocent age? - I suddenly wanted to joke.
- I'm here to meet a rich husband and a bunch of kids narozhat him - winking at me, answered the old lady .- But seriously? - I liked her  more and more. I was interested in motives of the appearance of the very elderly women  here.
- To be serious ... I've always wanted get a high education, and here I am - said Rose.
After the lecture we went to the student canteen and dinned together. Since that day we dined for three months together. Rose became the soul of the company. All students are willing to communicate with her.
At the end of the semester we invited her to make a speech at the graduation party. When she walked to the podium, the "cribs"  fell from her hand. Confused, Rose tried to pick them up, but couldn't collect all of them.
 - Sorry, I became so scattered .. For the sake of my husband I gave up drinking beer, so I'm drunk from whiskey much faster - she joked. - I will not gather cribs, so let me just tell me what I think. - As the laughter died down, she began her speech:
- We  stop playing because we grow up? No, we grow up, because we stop playing. There are only a few components of your success, youth and happiness. You have to smile every day and find something funny in your life. You need a dream. When you stop dreaming - you die. Around us, many people are dead and they do not even know about it! There is a huge difference between aging and growing up. If you are 19 years old and you'll be lieing on the couch and do nothing one year - you will be 20.There is nothing complicated about to become older. We do not need talent or gift for in order to grow old. Gift is to open up new opportunities for ourselves to change. Do not regret about anything! Older people usually do not regret what was done, they lament about the fact that they didn't  have time to do something. Are afraid of death, only those in whom there is a lot of regret. Finished her speech with "respect, Rosa," the old woman returned to her place. We were all silent, digesting what we had heard. After a year Rose get high educationabout which she had dreamed of. A week later she died quietly in her sleep. More than two thousand students came to her funeral in memory of the fact that this little bright woman had taught them to be who they can and want to be .So remember: aging  is inevitable. Growing up is selectively.
