Insight

My wife and I recently visited our alma mater. When we stopped by the local bakery we found the same old woman who had been behind the counter when we were in school. She said she'd been working in the store for thirty years now, selling whole-wheat donuts. When I gently asked her if she planned to retire, she told me that when you find something that you enjoy, there's no reason to quit just because people think you look old. "I'll feel old when people stop shopping in my store," she said and smiled as we paid for our lunch.
