All grown-up people have a little kid inside them.  Once a grown-up loses the ability to think like a kid or have fun like a kid, we say that he is old or has aged.  The moment people stop having fun and enjoying life they become old.  Age does not determine if you are old or not.  Age is but a number.  My grandfather is not old; he is healthy and knows how to have more fun than I do.  
	Worries and problems in the world are what make children grow up.  When children are given responsibilities they have to start paying attention to things they say and do so that they do not hurt someone, or so Mr. X does not misunderstand what they said, or so Mrs. Y does not take advantage of them.  Children forget to think of what makes them happy. At this stage kids are grown-ups.  Some people who are eighty-something years of age, are going skiing and scuba diving, whereas people who are twenty-something are smoking their lungs out and walking around with dark circles beneath their eyes.  Who would you call old in this case?   
	Maybe a lot of you would say these old people went through this early old age too, but I donŐt think so.  The only way these old people who still have life were able to survive the troubles of life, and not let their worries get the best out of them is by never losing sight of the little child in them.  The child remained with them throughout their ups and downs. 
	You have to put the little child in you to sleep at times and act grown-up, so that you can get somewhere in your life.  You have to be mature at times.  I am not saying that you should leave your worries to the wind, not care about anyone, and act like a kid.  What I am saying is, donŐt concern yourself with everyone and forget to think of your own self.  But, on the other hand, donŐt focus totally on yourself because you do not live alone.  
	The little prince in the book The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, explains it better.  So I suggest that you go buy the book to be able to live your life and not waste it and get tired before you have achieved anything of importance for yourself.  In other words, before you grow old too quickly.  All grown-ups started off as children.  Some just forget that.  DonŐt be one of those people.  
	AUB is meant to enrich the roots we have already planted for ourselves, or plant new ones in us.  I hope we will all make the right decisions as grown-ups, using some advice from the little child we once were, who knew how to have fun and be happy.
