Youth
Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . Nobody grows old merely by a number of years . We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . Worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .
Whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . In the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
When the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.
Thank you!
青春
青春不是指歲月，而是指心態(tài)。粉嫩的臉，紅潤(rùn)的唇，矯健的膝并不是青春。青春表現(xiàn)在意志的堅(jiān)強(qiáng)與懦弱。想象的豐富與蒼白、情感的充沛與貧乏等方面。青春是生命深處清泉的噴涌。
青春是追求。只有當(dāng)勇氣蓋過(guò)怯弱、進(jìn)取壓倒茍安之時(shí)，青春才存在。果如此，則60見(jiàn)之長(zhǎng)者比20歲之少年更具青春活力。僅僅歲月的流逝并不能使他們衰老。而一旦拋棄理想和信念，則垂垂老也。
歲月只能使皮膚起皺。而一旦喪失生活的激情，則連靈魂枯老，使人生枯如死水，毫無(wú)活力。
60歲長(zhǎng)者也好，16歲少年也罷，每個(gè)人的內(nèi)心深處都渴望奇跡，都如孩子一般眨著期待的雙眼，期待著下一次，期待著生活的情趣，你我靈魂深處都有一座無(wú)線(xiàn)電中轉(zhuǎn)站------只有你我年輕，則總能聽(tīng)到希望的呼喚，總能發(fā)出喜悅的歡呼，總能傳達(dá)勇氣的訊號(hào)，總能表現(xiàn)出青春的活力。
一旦青春的天線(xiàn)倒下，你的靈魂即為玩世不恭之雪、悲觀厭世之冰覆蓋；即使你年方20.其實(shí)你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天線(xiàn)高高聳起，就可以隨時(shí)接收到樂(lè)觀的電波-----即使你年過(guò)八旬，行將就木，而你卻仍然擁有青春，你仍然年輕。
謝謝！
