Benjamin Roll of Newport Beach, California, graduated from Law Collage at the age of 67. Before practising law, he had to pass the Bar examination.
Roll attempted it first time but failed. He attempted a second time but failed again. Then he attempted again and again and failed miserably. By this time his age was 73.
Roll passed at 14th attempt. He enrolled in law school and studied for six years after graduation to pass the Bar examination. At the age of 74, he started to practise law in the state of California!
His example proves the age-defying powers of 3A’s and 3P’s on us:
1) Our Attitude and Aptitude determine our Altitude in life.
2) Patience, Persistence and Perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.
— Prof. V. S. Patil, Belgaum

Most of us miss out on life’s big prizes. The Pulitzer. The Nobel. Oscars. Tonys. Emmys. But we’re all eligible for life’s small pleasures. A pat on the back. A kiss behind the ear. A four-pound bass. A full moon. An empty parking space. A crackling fire. A great meal. A glorious sunset. Hot soup. Cold beer.
