What would you say is the best year of your life and why? How old were you then?
Before getting married, my best year would be my university years. It was the time where I first experienced freedom from the watchful eyes of my parents, being away from home, meeting new like minded friends, going to parties and coming back home when I want and also the first time I had to budget. Of course I had to study as well. lol

The best years of my life were when I was bringing up my two sons. It was difficult at times, especially when my first marriage broke up, but kids are very rewarding and always worth the effort you put into raising them. You always get a minimum hundred and fifty per cent back, and more when they're older and can afford to treat you to tokens of their love, like flowers and stuff.
Brightest Blessings.

I thought this question for a while, but I can not come up with a exact answer. I felt I am a lucky guy, I have great parents who give me a happy childhood, I educated well, and I looked well. Of course, I had unlucky aspects, I can't make good money, my job is not so satisfied, my emotion is not goes well..... But overall, I really cherish my years and family I have, I cherish everything god give me, I love every year I lived and I hope every year is my best year in the future.

Its good that you see every year as a good year. I consider myself as an optimist like you but I can say that I've had bad days when nothing ever goes right. In contrast to the best year, I can say that the year after my graduation was a bad year. I could not find a job that I like for 3 months after graduating at university. I had so many job interviews that ended in frustration. With the support of my family and friends, I managed to get through it. I can't really say that there is a year in my life that I hate, they've just been bad because of events that happened on that year. We experience new things every day, month or year and the best experiences I've had were during my university days. I wish you all the best for the future. :o)
