【Simin 的转述】

We always say that I really want to do something but I've been busy recently and I'll do it after a while. The situation is quite familiar, isn't it ?  

And do you remember how many interesting things you missed? What you want to do is fewer and fewer as you get older and you have less and less time to yourself. It is horrible but inevitable that you find you seldom do something fun but working when you are about to die,

Time flies and life is short.  So don't forget to smell flowers.
