Young Only Once


Have you ever thought about what you would do if you were younger? If you could wind back the clock to the time you were a teenager, or when you had just finished your study, or when you were still in your twenties, etc... What would you have done differently?

This question came to me recently as celebrated my birthday with my family recently. I paused and thought hard. Now I am one year older… I wished I were younger, as I looked at the teenagers and youth. But I know I could be young only once. I couldn't wind back the clock... even researchers have been trying hard to invent cosmetic to prolong youth of people, yet it isn't possible.

I wish I could have done something different when I was younger… perhaps I wouldn't do certain things, perhaps I would do certain things, etc... But I guess I should learn to grow older graciously, and with pride...

So my wish is that all young people would treasure their youth, so that when they are old there is no regret in their life.
