世界上最遥远的距离
The Farthest Distance in the World
世界上最遥远的距离不是
生与死的距离而是
我站在你面前你不知道我爱你
The farthest distance in the worldIs not the distance between life and death
But you don't know
I love you when I stand in front of you
世界上最遥远的距离不是
我站在你面前
你不知道我爱你而是
爱到痴迷 却不能说我爱你
The farthest distance in the worldIs not you don't know I love you when I stand in front of youBut I cannot say I love you when I love you so madly
世界上最遥远的距离不是
爱到痴迷 却不能说我爱你而是
想你痛彻心扉 却只能深埋心底
The farthest distance in the worldIs not I cannot say I love you when I love you so madlyBut I can only bury it in my heart dispite the unbearable yearning
世界上最遥远的距离不是
想你痛彻心扉
却只能深埋心底而是
彼此相爱 却不能够在一起
The farthest distance in the worldIs not I can only bury it in my heart dispite the unbearable yearningBut we cannot be together when we love each other
世界上最遥远的距离不是 彼此相爱
却不能够在一起而是 明知道真爱无敌 却装作毫不在意
The farthest distance in the worldIs not we cannot be together when we love each otherBut we pretend caring nothing even we know love is unconquerable
世界上最遥远的距离不是 树与树的距离而是 同根生长的树枝 却无法在风中相依
The farthest distance in the worldIs not the distance between two treesBut the branches cannot depend on each other in wind even they grow from the same root
世界上最遥远的距离不是 树枝无法相依而是 相互了望的星星 却没有交汇的轨迹
The farthest distance in the worldIs not the braches cannot depend on each otherBut two stars cannot meet even they watch each other
世界上最遥远的距离不是 星星之间的轨迹而是 纵然轨迹交汇 却在转瞬间无处寻觅
The farthest distance in the worldIs not the track between two starsBut nowhere to search in a tick after two tracks join
世界上最遥远的距离不是 瞬间便无处寻觅而是 尚未相遇 便注定无法相聚
The farthest distance in the worldIs not nowhere to search in a tickBut doomed not to be together before they meet
世界上最遥远的距离是鱼与飞鸟的距离一个在天 一个却深潜海底
The farthest distance in the worldIs the distance between fish and bird One is in the sky, another is in the sea-
泰戈尔 - (1861 - 1941 / India)-Rabindranath Tagore- (1861 - 1941 / India)在网上找到这个说明，有谁可以告诉我答案。。。‘这首诗不是泰戈尔的作品。
第一段出自香港知名女作家张小娴的小说《荷包里的单人床》。原文是：“ 世界上最遥远的距离，不是生与死的距离，不是天各一方，而是，我就站在你面前，你却不知道我爱你。”
从第二段开始，是台湾网友——阳明神农坡医学院的一些同学在BBS中集体创作的。由于《读者》杂志2003年第14期上引用了此诗，但由于编辑没有详细考证，误署名成泰戈尔，因而造成广大读者以为是印度诗人所作。其实不然，这首诗完全是网络时代的产物！’

Worth $4 Million -- and Unable to Retire
Commentary: Worth $4 Million -- and Unable to Retire
by Carrie Coghill Kuntz
Thursday, October 11, 2007 provided by
I got a call from a newly "rich" executive. Having worked 60-hour weeks for years and now ready to retire at 55, he sold his business for $4 million. He was ready to live out his dream life and live off that tidy nest egg. The problem is, to do so--on $4 million--he must cut his standard of living.
It's the plight of the "mMillionaire" -- the middle-class Millionaire.
Mansions and yachts are out. The mMillionaires who want to retire before age 65 or 72, find they must live in three- and four-bedroom homes and drive mid-priced four-door sedans and mini-vans.
They are your neighbors--millionaires who live middle-class lifestyles even though they may have millions in liquid assets.
These mMillionaires have between $2 million and $10 million of investable assets, beyond their homes. Many have sold businesses or inherited money, yet few believe they can retire and continue living the high life.
The key question facing the mMillionaire is, "Can I continue to live the way I am living for the rest of my life?" The answer for most of these millionaires is "no."
Just a generation ago, a person with $2 million or more in liquid assets would have had enough for a secure retirement. But not today. Combine longer life expectancies and the rising costs of health care, food, transportation and property, and you have financial challenges ahead for the mMillionaire.
When Social Security was passed 72 years ago, life expectancy was less than 70. Now it's well above that and may continue to rise with advances in medical treatment. As a result, the mMillionaires in this high net worth class are finding they must scale back their lifestyles or delay retirement. That's something most of them, who are high-earners today, can't imagine.
For many of the executives and mMillionaires that I speak with everyday, this comes as a shock. Often their biggest obstacle is changing their own attitudes about what their wealth can afford them. Some are reluctant to embrace projections about their nest eggs' staying power. They believe that lower expenses in retirement will offset inflation and lost income.
Even with no mortgage or tuition payments, many mMillionaires underestimate the effects of inflation, especially on the cost of health care services for the aging.
We find that people don't always want to confront bad news. There's no question that more people are accumulating wealth at an unprecedented rate. They're living the good life, banking on retiring when they want to and continuing that quality through retirement. What they haven't counted on is that retirement can be a 40-year experience and that conditions can change drastically. In fact, in about 30 years, people will need more than $2 million to equal the purchasing power of $1 million today.
Many mMillionaires who are used to running businesses or managing others often want very specific answers on how to manage their middle-class millionaire status. Unfortunately, there's no formula for long-term financial security. Everyone's needs vary.
But, there are certain principles that can guide the mMillionaire's actions. If you are an mMillionaire, congratulations, but there are still a number of things you should keep in mind--ranging from managing your tax liabilities, to taking a really critical look at your investment portfolio (are you too heavily in tech stocks or consumer durables?), and of course guarding your estate, the nest egg you will leave behind.
