Young men dream dreams, old men see visions

ACE flew off to Shanghai and onwards to Suzhou yesterday with 67 others Primary 5-yers from his school yesterday. This is the 1st time he is travelling on his own. He has indeed growing up fast.

Adolescence is the short hour between the springtime and the summer of life. Before the teenage is reached, there is a very little individuality or personality but as soon as the teens begin, the emotional life is like water taking shape from the vessel into which it is poured.

Some youths, like some fruits, ripen too soon, and others never seem to ripen at all, but there are others who fulfill the best aspirations of an older generation.

"Young men dream dreams; old men see visions." The young look ahead, the aged look back.
