11.My grandfather Andy Anderson is 99.His life story is one for the big screen--he met my grandmother on a Saturday,and they married on the following Saturday.They stayed together until my grandma died 67years later.
Without going to college,Andy worked his way to the top.He became the manager of the dairy department of Safeway.He earned the nickname Mr.Cheese,which eventually turned into Grandpa Cheese among the family.He has taught me a lot and here's what he has learned in his 99years.
Always maintain a good sense of humor.Find something humorous in every single situation.Never be too good to start at the bottom.Exercise every day,even when you don't feel like it.Don't spend more money than you make.Save your money now and spend it later.
You must be able to forgive,even if it's difficult to do.Love is not always easy; sometimes you have to work at it.Your family is the most precious thing you will ever have in life.
If you are faced with a problem,don't delay trying to figure it out.But if there's no way to figure it out,you have to forget about it.Make sure you're doing what you love; don't be afraid to follow those dreams you have for yourself.
School education is important,but not necessary.Life can be an education in itself.Explore your world and stay curious; Having a bad job is better than having no job at all; Try not to take yourself so seriously.Don't ever be afraid to be your true self.Your life is delicate,and if you fail to take care of yourself properly,you'11spoil.
Life is a gift that you must unwrap.It's up to you to determine if what's inside will lead you to happiness or frustration.You have the power to make that decision for yourself.
All of above come from Grandpa Cheese.If you're wondering what Grandpa Cheese is up to these days,he's riding his motorized scooter (踏板车) around Benicia,CA,and"planning on what I'm going to do when I start to get old,"he says.
