IE: absolutely IR: but you are on your middle forties! IE: right, sir IR: aren't you ashamed? what have you been doing all of your life? IE: I've been studying. You know, according tothe forecasts, life expectancy for this century will soon reach more than a hundred years! IR: so? IE: so now we can dedicate more time to study and be better prepared for a job IR: but experience is also a key ingredient for an optimum performance! You should have begun to work sooner IE: hmmm...maybe I should have. But I can assure you, I'd have driven myself crazy just to think that I''d be doing the same thing for the rest of my life! IR: what do you mean? IE: Imagine that someone begins to work when he's twenty years old, then, as the life expectancy is reaching 100 years, the minimum age for retreat will be near to 85 years!... IR: and he would be working for as long as 65 years IE: exactly, and that is even more than what my father lived. I just don't want to waste my life like that IR: I can now see your point.

I just hope you enjoyed your life, sir.
