The best time of my life was when I received a scholarship from Department of Science and Technology. I was having problem way back if I can be able to enter college because my parents were having money problems. but i did it, I believe it was destined to happen. The second one was when I successfully graduated a degree in college.

I think they were in the mid to late eighties. And, now the remainder of my life.I am not saying I would want to change any of my life because I believe all of the experiences I have had up until now have made me into the person i am now. There were other times that were good in my life but this period of time mentioned I was in the best health and looked my best.

Probably the first (almost) thirteen years of my life. My family moved to a new town and things changed.

I remember my best days back when I was still a child. No worries just all freedom. Sweet memories!

I would have to say that the best years of my life was when I was younger and my dad was still living. He dad when I was a young teenager. My life totally changed after he passed away and I have a hard time enjoying life ever since.

The best years of my life are now! I liked school better than home, and was in school an awful lot of years altogether, but it was always hard work and strife and studying. Not that I mind studying, but all those tests. Ewwwww! Ah, but it all paid off. Now I have had my requisite education and after so many years finished the careers (yes, plural), and can do what I want. Freedom at last and more time for friends, and well...more time, period!

hi jugsjugs I really feel the best years of my life were when I was 31 to 40 and was married to the man I loved and we had two children. we were so happy then, and everything seemed so perfect.He had a job, and the cost of living compared to now was so much lower. We had lots of fun with our little ones and our old pickup truck.my childhood was great until I was eight, but my early marriage years were the very very best. to hold your first child,see his perfect little fingers and toes, to feel him nurse, to love him, this is hard to explain unless you have done this.

Talking about best years of life, I must confess that I have. I mean, I notice that some previous years were the best one comparing to the other. But, I really want to try to avoid that thoughts. I mean, remembering back my past life doesn't mean anything to me since I will never ever change it, even if I have a willing to do so. I believe we can change tomorrow by doing this present day. So, what I'm trying to say is every year is the best year, well maybe it is a good year. I don't want to lie myself, but I just want to see that every year of my life is good.

I can’t say that my school years were the best days of my life because I didn’t enjoy school all that much. I would have to say that the years just after I left school, had a job and I was going out and had fun with my friends were the best; my biggest worry back then was what to wear on Saturday night...Ah...Those were the days...

I have no doubts that my school years were my best years.During that time I never had to worry about bills ,work ,sickness meals ,studying ,I was basically stress free .I could play for as long as I wanted and I had so many friends ,It was basically about fun.Now I can tell when I ever lived so carefree ever ,I always have to be worrying about something or another and the friends I had back then are nowhere to be found aaaarghhhh .I really miss my childhood

The best years of my life where the three years that I was in college. That was a great time in my life because I was starting to face some sort of responsiblity, but I also was able to have my first taste at independence. When I was in college I made some great friends, some of whom I am still friends with today. I was away from home for the first time and got to explore myself in ways that I'd never gotten to do before. Also, when it came to the education that I was getting, I was actually able to learn about things that interested me.

I always used to think that the best years of my life were ther ones I had in high school. Life was full of dreams and promises then. Then when i met my late husband and got married and had two children with him, I began to think of these years as the best of my life. Who knows what tomorrow may bring though? The best years may not have even come yet.

reading your discussion makes me sing bryan adams songs summer of 69. those were the best year of my life thats a part of that song. i think the best years of my life is when i met my wife, got married and having a son. during my teen life and a few of adult life i thought it was the best from playing video games tp grabbing a guitar learning how to play. then the next thing i knew i was playing with my dad with his band (as a bass guitar player) and working abroad with that band. i thought that was the best years of my life. but i was wrong. i can say having a son and having a wonderful wife is the best years of my life and still counting.

This is a good discussion and I am sure that different people have different views when it comes to the best years of their lives,and I am sure that not everyone thinks that the best years of their lives are at the same time,and I am not sure what the best years of my life are,since I am only twenty four,and I had a lot of good times when I was younger, but I guess I would say the best years of my life are right now since I am married to the woman of my dreams,and I have a job,and we are buying things we want,while we save up to get our own car and double wide,and I do not think things could get much better,and I know my wife is happy as well,and I am sure she does not think things could get much better either,have a great day,good luck with your life,and all of your mylotting goals, and Happy Posting my friend.

the best years of my life is spending my summer vacation at the farm with my family. there we bond together, sing old songs, cook a lot, eat fruits and laugh a lot. i wish i could go back to those good old days, when i think about it i can't help but sigh.
