Yesterday evening I was watching the evening news on television. The news was about a 【B1】 for scientific discoveries. The announcer, whose name was Richard Todd 【B2】 something that caught my 【B3】 . "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 【B4】 with him. Nobody wants to think that he is past the age of making any 【B5】 The next day I went to the public library, spending several hours, and 【B6】 to find the ages of famous people and their discoveries. Richard was right.
First I looked at some of the 【B7】 discoveries. One of the earliest, one that 【B8】 that bodies of different weight 【B9】 at the same speed, was made by Galileo when he was 26. Madam Curie started her research that led to a Nobel Prize when she was 28. Einstein was 26 when he 【B10】 his world-changing theory of relativity. Well, 【B11】 of that. Yet I wondered if those "best years" were true in other 【B12】 .
Then how about 【B13】 ? Surely it needs the wisdom of 【B14】 to make a good leader. Perhaps it does, but look when these people 【B15】 their careers. Winston Churchill was elected the House of Commons at the age of 26. Abraham Lincoln 【B16】 the life of a country lawyer and was elected to the government at what age? Twenty-six!
But why don’t best years come after thirty? After thirty, I 【B17】 , most people do not want to take risks or try new ways. Then I thought people 【B18】 Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was writing wonderful 【B19】 at the age of fifty, 【B20】 the latter was still trying new ways of painting when he was ninety!
Perhaps here is still hope for me.
