世间总是在演绎着不同的人生和世间选择，人总是在不约而同的否定了自己的老辈人给出的意见，因为你们嫌他们的见识没有你们长。可是当很多人会选择错误的路，那么你是否会觉得这就是一场梦呢？下面来欣赏这篇英语文章，不仅是警示，我想更多的是激励！
It was New Year's Night. An aged man was standing at a window. He had already passed sixty of the stages leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and remorse.
The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads-one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and resounding with soft, sweet songs；the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless.
He looked towards the sky and cried painfully, ″ Youth, return！ My father, place me once more at the entrance to life, and I'll choose the better way！″But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away.
The clock in the high church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents' early love for him. They had taught him and prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst out a cry: ″Come back, my early days！Come back！″
And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year's Night.
Those who still linger on the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain: ″ Youth, return！Oh give me back my early days！″
