背景介绍:
When we are very young, our minds becomes accustomed to future events seeming to take forever to come to pass. The way we perceive time becomes set on long. This is called subjective time. Then, as we age, subjective time slowly starts to shorten, but we don't notice it at first. However, by the time we are 40, the wait for a future event is such a small fraction of the total time we have lived that the shortened subjective time becomes noticeable. By the time we are 50, five years is only 1/10 of our total lifetime, 5 percent. And smaller bits of time are a commensurately smaller fraction of our lifetime.
话题:
What did you do when you're young, but can't do it again?
范例1:
I think it has to do with relativity. Not physical, but psychological. When you're young, say 6 years old, you doubled your age by the time you're 12. An eternity so to speak. When you're 60, the step to 66 is a mere 10% increase. You've already done that time frame 10 times instead of only once. Its probably accelerated by other factors such as being aware of time itself, and the societal norms and expectations that come with a certain age, etc... But I think the actual feeling of time going by faster as we age has to do with our experience of past time passing by. The rate at which we double our age goes down, every day lived is shorter when looking at the whole life of a person than the previous day before. After all, all time is scientifically is motion of matter over distance, but psychologically that doesn't get us very far.
范例2:
Youth is the age of dynamism which equips us with the courage and strength to conquer all the thistles and thorns. In the good old days, things were taken for granted and we scarcely realize that all of these would eventually come to an end.
If, by some miracles, I were granted the magic power to turn back the clock, I would go back to my secondary school days- the golden age of my life. After all these years, I have learnt enough in my lessons and regretted for letting the time slip away. If I were young again, the obsessions of meaningless games and romantic novels would fade and be substituted by the yearning of knowledge, which could ultimately enrich my soul. The pathetic truth is that a grown-up is too engaged in the daily routine and is bound to abandon the initial ambition.
As the above wish is merely a beautiful day dream, all I should do now is to treasure the present and make every day counts. A few years later, I would be able to look back the days without remorse.
