I lost my youth Xuefeng Pan I lost my youth before I was going to think of it in my grave I lost my years with you before I was going to dream of it in my sleep I will of course lose everything in the end And the world will also lose me deeply in your memory 我失去了我的青春 我在我的坟前想 我失去了我和你的在一起的岁月 当我就要睡在我的梦里 最终我会失去一切 而世界也将失去我 在你的记忆中
I am not sure this ever happened to you, but it did happen to me more than once. When I was using a PC laptop, I sometimes forgot to save an email attachment (a Word file) into a specific folder. I went on to edit it, and quit when I finished editing, and then could not find the file. Eventually, I figured out how to locate the lost file. Now, I am a Mac user, and I lost a file this morning (when my client told me that I attached a wrong file, not the edited file that I worked so hard last night). I looked and looked, and I could not find it. It was not on my backup disk, and it was NOT under All My files. Oh, well, there was no point crying over spilled milk. So, I emailed my client, and said I would re-edit the paper for her. Then, I noticed something on the left column of Word Document Gallery. In the lower part of the column, it collects Recent Documents. Yeah! After some checking, I found my lost file (which saves me at least three hours of re-editing). Now, I will go to yoga class and recharge my body and soul!
It's worth watching, especially for those who were born in the 1980s. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=42E2fAWM6rA By Jonathan Reed If you cannot watch YouTube, try this site, which shows the writing (but I am unable to steal): http://www.killahbeez.com/2009/01/23/lost-generation/ If you still cannot read it, here it is. (I typed it myself; any typos?) I am part of the Lost Generation And I refuse to believe that I can change the world I realize this may be a shock but Happiness comes from within Is a lie, and Money will make me happy So in 30 years I will tell my children They are not the most important thing in my life My employer will know that I have my priorities straight because Work Is more important than Family I tell you this once upon a time families stayed together but this will not be true in my era this is a quick fix society experts tell me 30 years from now I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of my divorce I do not concede that I will live in a country of my own making In the future Environmental destruction will be the norm No longer can it be said that My peers and I care about this Earth It will be evident that my generation will be apathetic and lethargic it is foolish to presume that There is hope. And all of this will come true unless we choose to reverse it. (Then you read backward...)

The Eagle soars in the summit of Heaven, The Hunter with his dogs pursues his circuit. O perpetual revolution of configured stars, O perpetual recurrence of determined seasons, O world of spring and autumn, birth and dying The endless cycle of idea and action, Endless invention, endless experiment, Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness; Knowledge of speech, but not of silence; Knowledge of words, and ignorance of the Word. All our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance, All our ignorance brings us nearer to death, But nearness to death no nearer to GOD. Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information? The cycles of Heaven in twenty centuries Bring us farther from GOD and nearer to the Dust.
