You are a 20 year-old and you think you are young? Wait a few years down the road and you will be 30, and trust me you won’t believe it. It won’t be late before you start envying young people; wishing you were 10 or 20 years younger. As a child, I held a belief that by the time a person clocked the age of 50 they were too old with so many achievements to show, such that even if they died, they would not be missed a lot.Now that I am at the age of 23 (left with about two and a half decades to clock 50), yet without any serious C.V or property to my name, I now see how childish the whole notion was. Just recently, I visited my childhood home for the first time and was utterly disappointed; everything has suddenly grown smaller: the compound, house, and neighbourhood, name them. Everyone I knew as a child now looks shorter and older than my expectation.While in primary seven, I used to view university as so distant, I can’t believe that I am now finalizing my stay at campus and thinking about work and marriage already.That aside, doesn’t it feel like we celebrated the new millennium just recently? But it’s unbelievably twelve complete years ever since we did so. This is how quick years are moving! ---- The person who came-up with the notion that "age is just a number” was really damn right.Sometimes my wild thoughts tell me that God or some other supernatural authority could have secretly reduced a day’s time span, then left us, unsuspecting beings to run after something-time- we shall never catch or beat. People who are always complaining "I don’t have time” should not be blamed sometimes. Just a short time ago, Steve Jobs had the world under his grip as a top gadget- inventor: where is he now? He is dead and his name is seemingly almost, just in the shortest of time.In conclusion, Life is too short; one should make sure they get the best out of it by spending it in the most productive ventures other than wasting it.
