Passage Two
Last week when I was watching TV news,the announcer,whose name was Ralph Story.
said something that caught my attention.
All great discoveries,he said,are made by people between the ages of twenty_five and thirty.
Being a little over thirty myself I wanted to disagree with him.
The next day I spent several hours in the public library looking up ages of famous people and their discoveries.
Ralph was right.
Galileo discovered by the famous experiment that bodies of different weights fall at the same speed when he was 26.
Madame Curie started her research that led to a Nobel Prize when she was 28.
Einstein was 26 when he published his world_changing theory of relativity.
Well,enough of that.Yet I wondered if thosebest yearswere true in other fields.
Then how about the field of politics?
Winston churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26.
Abraham Lincoln gave up the life of a country lawyer and was elected to the government at what age?Twenty_six!
But why dont best years come after thirty?
