主题：What is something someone said that forever changed your way of thinking?

When I was 38 I contemplated beginning a two year Associates Degree in Radiography. I was talking to a friend and had almost talked myself out of doing it. I said "I'm too old to start that. I'll be 40 when I get my degree." My friend said "If you don't do it, you'll still be 40, but without the degree." I'm nearly 60 now, and that degree has been the difference between making a decent living, and struggling to get by.

Contemplate：深思熟虑
Associates degree: 两年制专科学位
Radiography：放射线照相术
Making a decent living: 过体面的生活
Get by: 勉强过活
