Thank you, Doctor, for your generosity in answering many of the questions that were asked.
Where you inspired me that human life is not limited to study, but needs research and discussion with those who went through experiences before us and benefited from them.
And I found something from you that proved to me that age is just a number, not a barrier that stands in the way of creativity and excellence. Perhaps one day I will meet you and mention this article, so thank you.
