Not that I need more reasons to be proud to be Taiwanese, but here’s a story that does just that. 

TAIPEI — A 96-year-old Taiwanese man who will receive his master’s degree in philosophy this weekend said he was able to compete with younger students by pulling all-nighters before exams.

Chao Mu-he, better known to his classmates at Nanhua University in southern Taiwan as "Grandpa Chao," said he began graduate school after being told he was too old to continue as a volunteer at a local hospital.

"I was bored after I left the hospital," Chao said Thursday. "I don’t play mahjong or have other hobbies. I felt I had to do something with my life."

Now that he has his master’s he’ll finally be able to compete in today’s job market… *cricket’s chirping* Is this thing on???
