圍牆 - Wei Qiang -Wall

By Nicky...

A very nice song that represents our feelings...



不知不觉又过了几天 我想我习惯了忽略 去忽略没你的时间
bu zhi bu jue you guo le ji tian wo xiang wo xi guan le hu lve qu hu lve mei ni de shi jian

不近不远走在谁身边 我想我适应了一切 这一切没你的世界
bu jin bu yuan zou zai shui shen bian wo xiang wo gua ying le yi qie zhe yi qie mei ni de shi jie

某条路某条街 某首歌某间店 某种熟悉但如今却刺眼
mou tiao lu mou tiao jie mou shou ge mou jian dian mou chong shou xi dan ru jin que ci yan

不碰触不跨越 为自己留一些 安全界线
bu peng hong bu kua yue wei zi ji liu yi xie an quan jie xian

谁都以为不听不看也就没感觉 一转身 才发现
shui du yi wei bu ting bu kan ye jiu mei gan jue yi zhuan shen cai fa xian

空气里面 依旧飘散着记忆的气味
kong qi li mian yi jiu piao san zhao ji yi de qi wei

是有所谓或无所谓也不能改变
shi you suo wei huo wu suo wei ye bu neng gai bian

原来是我 在爱上你的那瞬间 就困在围墙里面
yuan lai shi wo zai ai shang ni de na shun jian jiu kun zai wei qiang li mian

某条路某条街 某首歌首间店 某种熟悉但如今却刺眼
mou tiao lu mou tiao jie mou shou ge shou jian dian mou chong shou xi dan ru jin que ci yan

不碰触不跨越 为自己留一些安全界限
bu peng hong bu kua yue wei zi ji liu yi xie an quan jie xian

谁都以为不听不看也就没感觉 一转身 才发现
shui du yi wei bu ting bu kan ye jiu mei gan jue yi zhuan shen cai fa xian

空气里面 依旧飘散着记忆的气味
kong qi li mian yi jiu piao san zhao ji yi de qi wei

是有所谓或无所谓也不能改变
shi you suo wei huo wu suo wei ye bu neng gai bian

原来是我 在爱上你的那瞬间 就困在围墙里面
yuan lai shi wo zai ai shang ni de na shun jian jiu kun zai wei qiang li mian

谁都以为不听不看也就没感觉 一转身 才发现
shui du yi wei bu ting bu kan ye jiu mei gan jue yi zhuan shen cai fa xian

空气里面 依旧飘散着记忆的气味
kong qi li mian yi jiu piao san zhao ji yi de qi wei

是有所谓或无所谓也不能改变
shi you suo wei huo wu suo wei ye bu neng gai bian

原来是我 在爱上你的那瞬间 就困在围墙里面
yuan lai shi wo zai ai shang ni de na shun jian jiu kun zai wei qiang li mian

多可悲 围墙都在对不对
duo ke bei wei qiang du zai dui bu dui

Can I Borrow $25?

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

SON: 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'

DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man.

SON: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'

DAD: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the man said angrily.

SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'

DAD: 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour.'

SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'

The father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.'

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down , and started to
think:

Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

'Are you asleep, son?' He asked.

'No daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.

'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the man.
'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the
$25 you asked for.'

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you daddy!' he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.

The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.

The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.

'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the father grumbled.

'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.

'Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to

have dinner with you.'

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $50 worth of your time with someone you love.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
