WEEKEND WISDOM

"Wait" and you shall have no more opportunity

- writer: Sun Yat

Today, our house is getting bigger and bigger, but our family, smaller and smaller.

Life is easier, but time, less and less.

Our education level is higher and higher, but common sense, less and less.

Knowledge is getting more and more, but judgement becomes worse and worse.

We have more professionals, but there are more and more problems.

Medicine has improved greatly, but health is becoming worse and worse.

We expend a lot, but enjoy life very little.

We drive cars very fast, but temper bursts out faster.

Sleep very late, read very little, view too much TV and pray very little.

Our fortune is doubled, but value reduced.

We talk a lot, but love very little and lies abound.

We learn how to lead a life, but we care less creating life.

We extend our life span, but never increase life in our days.

We have taller and taller buildings, but less and less EQ.

We have wider high speed motorways, but have narrower viewpoints.

We spend a great deal, but own very little.

We buy more, but enjoy less.

We travel to the moon and back, but never visit our neighbors.

We conquer the outer space, but have no clue as to how to control our prejudice.

We can dissect atoms, but are unable to remove our biased thinking.

We write more, but learn little.

More schemes, but little success.

We learn how to busy ourselves, but never learn how to wait.

Our income has risen, but morality, declined.

We produce more and more computers, but control information flow.

Multiply more and more copies, but our communications with others very lacking.

We produce more, but quality deteriorates.

This is the year when fast food is aplenty and digestion failing.

Huge physique with lowly temperament coexisting era.

Lots of holidays, but little enjoyment.

More food, less nutrition.

More family income, more divorce cases.

Many more millionaires, but more broken families.

I propose.  In such an era, you do not keep what you want to do till a specific time to do,

Because the day you are alive and kicking is the specific occasion you should do.

Read more and obtain more knowledge.

Sit in your front veranda and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Do not have to worry about life's essential needs.

Spend more time with your friends and families,

Enjoy your fond food.

Travel to places you like to visit.

Life does not depend on maintaining one's existence.

It consists of many happy occasions chained together.

Bring out your crystal champagne glass,

Never keep your best perfume on the shelf.

Any time you want to use it, do so.

Remove "one day" "some day in the future" from your dictionary.

Go now to write that letter

The letter you want to write one day.

Let us now tell our family that we love them very much.

Do not postpone telling them your happiness and love till one day.

Every day, every hour and every minute is all very special,

                                       Also, you do not know if it is your last minute of life.

In that case, please believe me "Wait till one day" you will never have any opportunity to do so.
