Life Itself

For graduating NTU IM students
by Yih-Kuen Tsay

You would ask, once in a while,
big questions about life:
“Why am I here?
Is there a destination for me?”

You have merely passed twenty.
And I am over fifty years of age.
Life is a mystery, to us equally.
Something remains to be reached.
No one is guaranteed to succeed.

Proceed with honesty and courage.
When you look back one day,
I hope, you probably would say,
“I am not sure if I have got it,
but what a wonderful journey!”
