Why Generation Y Yuppies Are Unhappy

Tea is nought but this: first you heat the water, then you make the tea. Then you drink it properly.

This article is stupid. More of the abusive tendencies of the Baby Boomer generation. They thought they were better than their parents and now they think they are better than their children.

Only Boomers who left school with $ 100,000 worth of debt may weigh in on whether or not these kids are entitled.

:lol: :lol: Thanks for posting HP.

An article that contains a timeless observation....... er... uh.... I mean wisdom.

Tinker's reply is also timeless wisdom, under the age of 30, every generation thinks themselves better than their parents.

"Don't trust anyone over 30!" is a timeless battle cry.

Once the kids reach age 30, the observant parents realize the error of their ways, and every generation thinks themselves better than their kids!

"Meybe the grandkids will turn out ok...."

Ah.....yes.... if the constants of life don't make ya smile..... ya got no one but yourself (or your parents.... if your under the age of 20) to blame! :D

My Father-in-Law who was from the Silent Generation said that at 15 his generation was blamed for Sputnik going up first.

Paradox of Our Times
مغايرتهای زمان ما

Today we have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time
ما امروزه خانه های بزرگتر اما خانواده های کوچکتر داريم؛ راحتی بيشتر اما زمان کمتر

we have more degrees, but less common sense; more knowledge, but less judgment
مدارک تحصيلی بالاتر اما درک عمومی پايين تر ؛ آگاهی بيشتر اما قدرت تشخيص کمتر داريم

We have more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness
متخصصان بيشتر اما مشکلات نيز بيشتر؛ داروهای بيشتر اما سلامتی کمتر

We spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get to angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too oft en, and pray too seldom
بدون ملاحظه ايام را می گذرانيم، خيلی کم می خنديم، خيلی تند رانندگی می کنيم، خيلی زود عصبانی می شويم، تا ديروقت بيدار می مانيم، خيلی خسته از خواب برمی خيزيم، خيلی کم مطالعه می کنيم، اغلب اوقات تلويزيون نگاه می کنيم و خيلی بندرت دعا می کنيم

We have multiplied our possessions, but red uced our values. We talk too much, love too little and lie too often
چندين برابر مايملک داريم اما ارزشهايمان کمتر شده است. خيلی زياد صحبت مي کنيم، به اندازه کافی دوست نمي داريم و خيلی زياد دروغ می گوييم

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years
زندگی ساختن را ياد گرفته ايم اما نه زندگی کردن را ؛ تنها به زندگی سالهای عمر را افزوده ايم و نه زندگی را به سالهای عمرمان

We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints
ما ساختمانهای بلندتر داريم اما طبع کوتاه تر، بزرگراه های پهن تر اما ديدگاه های باريکتر

We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less
بيشتر خرج می کنيم اما کمتر داريم، بيشتر می خريم اما کمتر لذت می بريم

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor
ما تا ماه رفته و برگشته ايم اما قادر نيستيم برای ملاقات همسايه جديدمان از يک سوی خيابان به آن سو برويم

We've conquered outer space, but not inner space. We've split the atom, but not our prejudice
فضای بيرون را فتح کرده ايم اما نه فضاي درون را، ما اتم را شکافته ايم اما نه تعصب خود را

we write more, but learn less; plan more, but accomplish less
بيشتر مي نويسيم اما کمتر ياد مي گيريم، بيشتر برنامه مي ريزيم اما کمتر به انجام مي رسانيم

We've learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but lower morals
عجله کردن را آموخته ايم و نه صبر کردن، درآمدهای بالاتری داريم اما اصول اخلاقی پايين تر

We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies, but have less communication. We are long on quantity, but short on quality
کامپيوترهای بيشتری مي سازيم تا اطلاعات بيشتری نگهداری کنيم، تا رونوشت های بيشتری توليد کنيم، اما ارتباطات کمتری داريم. ما کميت بيشتر اما کيفيت کمتری داريم

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men and short character; steep profits and shallow relationships
اکنون زمان غذاهای آماده اما دير هضم است، مردان بلند قامت اما شخصيت های پست، سودهای کلان اما روابط سطحی

More leisure and less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition; two incomes, but more divorce; fancier houses, but broken homes
فرصت بيشتر اما تفريح کمتر، تنوع غذاها بيشتر اما تغذيه ناسالم تر؛ درآمد بيشتر اما طلاق بيشتر؛ منازل رويايی اما خانواده های از هم پاشيده

That's why I propose, that as of today, you do not keep anything for a special occasion, because every day that you live is a special occasion
بدين دليل است که پيشنهاد مي کنم از امروز شما هيچ چيز را برای موقعيتهای خاص نگذاريد، زيرا هر روز زندگی يک موقعيت خاص است

Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs
در جستجوی دانش باشيد، بيشتر بخوانيد، در ايوان بنشينيد و منظره را تحسين کنيد بدون آنکه توجهی به نيازهايتان داشته باشيد

Spend more time with your family and friends, eat your favorite foods, and visit the places you love
زمان بيشتری را با خانواده و دوستانتان بگذرانيد، غذای مورد علاقه تان را بخوريد و جاهايی را که دوست داريد ببينيد

Life is a chain of moment of enjoyment, not only about survival
زندگی فقط حفظ بقاء نيست، بلکه زنجيره ای ازلحظه های لذتبخش است

Use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume, and use it every time you feel you want it
از جام کريستال خود استفاده کنيد، بهترين عطرتان را برای روز مبادا نگه نداريد و هر لحظه که دوست داريد از آن استفاده کنيد

Remove from your vocabulary phrases like "one of these days" and "someday". Let's write that letter we thought of writing "one of these days "
عباراتی مانند "يکی از اين روزها" و "روزی" را از فرهنگ لغت خود خارج کنيد. بياييد نامه ای را که قصد داشتيم "يکی از اين روزها" بنويسيم همين امروز بنويسيم

Let's tell our families and friends how much we love them. Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life
بياييد به خانواده و دوستانمان بگوييم که چقدر آنها را دوست داريم. هيچ چيزی را که مي تواند به خنده و شادی شما بيفزايد به تاُخير نيندازيد

Every day, every hour, and every minute is special. And you don't know if it will be your last
هر روز، هر ساعت و هر دقيقه خاص است و شما نميدانيد که شايد آن مي تواند آخرين لحظه باشد

If you're too busy to take the time to send this message to someone you love, and you tell yourself you will send it "one of these days ". Just think…"One of these days ", you may not be here to send it !
اگر شما آنقدر گرفتاريد که وقت نداريد اين پيغام را برای کسانيکه دوست داريد بفرستيد، و به خودتان مي گوييد که "يکی از اين روزها" آنرا خواهم فرستاد، فقط فکر کنيد ... "يکی از اين روزها" ممکن است شما اينجا نباشيد که آنرا بفرستيد!
