To my dear friends who are born in the 70's or way before....
Let's see. The majority of students in universities today were born in 1983....
They are called "youth".
For them, they have never heard of "We are the World, we are the Children..." And the "Uptown Girl" they know is by Westlife not Billy Joel.
For them, there have always been only one Germany and only one Vietnam.
AIDS exists since they were born. CD exists since they were born.
Michael Jackson is already whitened. John Travolta is always round in shape and they can't imagine how this fat guy could be a god of dance.
They believe that Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible are just new films out last year.
They can never imagine a black and white screen for a computer.
They never know Pac-Man. Can't believe a black and white television ever existed and they don't even know how to switch on a TV without a remote
control.
And they never understand how could we go out without a mobile phone when we were in university...
Let's check if we're getting old...
1. You understand what was written above and you smile.
2. You need to sleep more, until afternoon, after a night out.
3. Your friends are getting married.
4. You are always surprised to see small children playing comfortably with computer.
5. When you see teenagers with mobile phones, you shake your head.
6. You developed more and more feelings about your work. It's not your life.
7. You spend less and less time talking on phone with your friends daily.
8. You meet your friends from time to time, talking about the good old days, repeating again and again all funny stories your experienced together.
9. Having read this mail, you are thinking of forwarding it to some other friends. You think they will like it too ......
Ha..ha...ha....Yes, you're getting old. It's OK, I'm with you all the way.
Cheers!
so........
hmm....weird....i was born in 1981.....yet i can relate to what u wrote just the same.....
my fav MJ song is thriller....and i have seen grease, saturday nite fever and like them both....if in a old-school sort of way....
Even when a person meets all of your 9 criteria about getting old, this person doesn't need to be old, many in their 20s could meet these criteria.
If you want to tell people you are old, just say "I am old." But, your opprobrious comments about the 80ers won't make me feel you are old, but you are old-fashioned. I'm 60ers, True old - 看化世情變遷心如止水
I'd rather stick to my belief that ... tomorrow could be better than today. Stay young at heart!
看化世情變時心如湖水清，水中仍偶有漣漪，淡淡的或是澎湃的...都為平淡的生命帶來一些色彩!
