Another man who could sing a song about age is 107yearold Heesters. The Dutchborn opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany,where he still works. Recently Heesters said: “I want to be at least 108yearold.” He also plans to keep performing. “Should_I_just_sit_at_home_and_wait_until_they_come_and_pick_me_up?” Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a “good stage role”.
Italian scientist Rita LeviMontalcini, who is 101yearold and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on: “Progress is created through imperfection.” In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor. She's convinced that humans grow on challenges.
With so many brilliant examples given, we can see clearly that age is no barrier to some high achievers.
本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章,主要讲述了一些百岁老人仍乐观积极,且坚持工作取得了成绩,从而使我们明白这样一个道理:年龄不是取得成功的障碍。
