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 .
青春,并非人生的一個(gè)階段,而是一種心境.青春,并非粉頰紅唇和矯健的體魄,而是指堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志、理性思維中的創(chuàng)造潛力,是情感活動(dòng)中的一股勃勃朝氣；它是人生的一譚清泉.青春意味著一種氣質(zhì)：勇猛果敢,決不怯懦退縮,渴求冒險(xiǎn)而不貪圖安逸.60歲的老人可能比20歲的小伙子更多地?fù)碛羞@種氣質(zhì).沒(méi)有人僅僅因?yàn)闀r(shí)光的流逝而變得衰老,只有放棄理想才日益衰老.歲月可能在皮膚上生出皺紋,但喪失熱情則會(huì)讓心靈起皺.憂慮、恐懼、自卑只會(huì)讓人心灰意冷,變成一堆行尸走肉.無(wú)論是60歲還是16歲,每個(gè)人的心都被新奇事物所吸引,都對(duì)未來(lái)之事和人生競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中的歡樂(lè)懷著孩子般無(wú)窮無(wú)盡的渴望.在你我心靈的深處都有一座無(wú)線電臺(tái)；只要它不停地從人群中、從無(wú)限的時(shí)空中接收美的信息,接收充滿希望、激勵(lì)、勇氣和力量的信息,你我就會(huì)永葆青春.一旦這天線坍塌,一旦你的心靈被玩世不恭的寒雪和悲觀絕望的冰霜所覆蓋,即使你年方20,你便已衰老了.但如果天線始終矗立在你的心中,在捕捉每一個(gè)樂(lè)觀向上的電波,那么你便有希望在80歲的年紀(jì)仍擁有一顆年輕的心.
