A man of forty-two seems to be at noon in his life: solemn, deep, and empty, it is a pole on the life curve. Standing here, you can see the way you come, facing the front, your heart is uneasy, but you are not as passionate as you were back then. Life is like a magician shaking off his baggage, and there will be no more mystery at all.

But some people do not succumb to age, let alone believe in fate. They are still full of ideals in middle age. They not only toss but also make big moves, just like Tom.

In 2000, Tom had turned 42. This year, he and his wife immigrated to Canada.

As a chief engineer in his home country, he was full of confidence to find his professional job in Canada, but reality hit him hard. Three months after arriving in Canada, all the resumes sent out for job applications have fallen on the deaf ears.

Soon, the money he brought from home couldn’t make the ends meet. Just then, he happened to see a job advertisement for assembly line workers. Tom filled out the application right away and luckily he got the job.

From then on Tom’s life has been going wild with unequaled capacity.
