Conquer? Or avoid?

那时候我们有梦，关于文学，关于爱情，关于穿越世界的旅行。

如今我们深夜饮酒，杯子碰到一起，都是梦破碎的声音。

那时我有很多梦，关于文学，关于事业，关于理想，

那时我时常在午夜惊醒，

因为有很多梦未圆，

因为对现状的不甘，

因为对明天还会期待，

因为相信自己会是一个奇迹！

如今，我总能一觉睡到天亮，

因为对明天不再幻想

曾经很多梦的也沉睡了，

曾经很多的冲动，消沉了。

是长大了？

是成熟了？

还是麻木了?

反正是回不去了...

"...For most, there was no realistic expectation of ever catching up to their ambitions. In their own eyes, they were never good enough. They were the opposite of complacent. And yet, in a very real sense, they were satisfied being unsatisfied. Each was chasing something of unparalleled interest and importance, and it was the chase - as much as the capture - that was gratifying. Even if some of the things they had to do were boring, or frustrating, or even painful, they wouldn't dream of giving up. Their passion was enduring."
