For more than 3 decads, I achieved great success as a lawyer, till a stroke left any right side totally paralysed. Despite the doctor's encouragement. I was consumed by rage and self-pity. I yearned to be active again. But what could a middle-aged cripple like me do? One-day, glancing at some paintings I owned, I thought suddenly. "What about painting? In fact, I had always wanted to paint, but had never had the time. Now , I had plenty of time. In the last 25 years, I have completed 300 paintings-one of them appeared on the cover of the Reader's Digest. The stroke. I realize, has helped me develop a latent talent and enjoy life.
Which one of the following is the correct statement?

A

C

to learn a new hobby

D
