Decade (November 29, 2008) - 76

When you ask so many questions that your mom does not know how to answer
While you sit at the front of your moms bike
When you jump into water while your dad is not watching you
While you do not know how to swim and cry to ask for your dads help
When you are proud of yourself as your teacher visiting your home
While most of your classmates are fear of your teachers home visiting
You are in the first decade of your life

When you start to compete at school after taking your parents suggestion
As you know studying hard is the only way to change your life
When you are lazy on-campus while not at home
As you want to be different to your classmates
When you are dreaming to move to your capital for further study
As you want to get into the best school in the nation
You are in the second decade of your life

When you are surprised there are so many smart classmates around you
After you leave your hometown and ride on your bike in the most beautiful campus
When you start to treat English like your native language
After you see so many schoolmates go abroad by passing English test
When you are in a plane for the first time heading towards a strange land
After your pass so many tests and contact so many professors
You are in the third decade of your life

When you surprises your peers who say why Chinese are so smart
When you are out of joy after owning your first used car
When your local roommate asks for a coffee after coaching you on how to drive
When your advisor complains you are running too fast
When you turn down one job offer and go for another
When you work in the industry as a CEO-under-training
You are in the third decade of your life

When your customer becomes your boss
When your freedom becomes your burden
When your daily job is to create jobs
When you nightly job is to create poems
When no town becomes your hometown
When no land becomes your homeland
You are in the fourth decade of your life

How many decades have you gone through?
How many decades are you expecting to proceed?
Living is writing
Life like a drama
