Life cycle

A friend email me about the different stages of accomplishment of being so-called success through life.
How true! At young age of 4 yrs old it is indeed a successful task of not wetting your pants..At 6 yrs old, I remember my son is so delighted to be able to travel on a bus all by himself..(although I was spying on him all the way home from school) Friends used to be so important to him when he was 12 years old.
Then it is the "oo aa" of wanting to get his driver license the minute he turns 17 years old. However, I am still having doubts about this next one.. It says at age 20, success is having sex? Be it 35, 45 or 55 yrs old, most of us would think to be successful means you have lots of money.
The doubtful age of being 60 yrs old;same when you were 20 yrs... success is having sex? Maybe so..reaching age 65 yrs is like when you were 17...success is also about driving license.Somehow,the difference is trying hard to keep it instead of getting it...
Looking back, where friends means so much to you when you were 12..This time around when you reach 70 yrs old you value friends too because the numbers is eventually diminishing if you outlived the others.
It would be as delightful as when you were at 6 yrs , to be able to find your way home at age 75 yrs old. Indeed considered a success being still alert and not suffering from any serious memory losses.
Finally, there goes the age cycle all over again.. if you are 80 yrs old, the triumph of of able to control your bladder and not wet your undergarments just like when you were 4 yrs old!!
