able to enjoy in the same way again later in life. but don't think that life is over after 30. it's not over after 40 or 50 or 60 either. there is still a lot of good living to be done even when you are 50 or 60 or 70 or 80 or even 90 years old. every stage of life brings its own joy and happiness. but the happiness you will experience in your later life will depend on how well you have learned to be happy when you are young. for it is when you are young that you have to learn what makes a person truly happy.
