This is a wonderful story from Charles Dickens. At only 10 minutes, it’s a quick one.
The gist is that our lives go through phases. He captures them perfectly: the child, always at play; the boy, always learning; the young man, always in love; the middle-aged gentleman, always busy; the old man, always remembering.
Here’s the story if you’re more inclined to read than listen.
