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,紅潤的唇,矯健的膝并不是青春.青春表現(xiàn)在意志的堅強與懦弱.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.只有當勇氣蓋過怯弱、進取壓倒茍安之時,青春才存在.果如此,則60見之長者比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,毫無活力.60歲長者也好,16歲少年也罷,每個人的內(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線電中轉(zhuǎn)站------只有你我年輕,則總能聽到希望的呼喚,總能發(fā)出喜悅的歡呼,總能傳達勇氣的訊號,總能表現(xiàn)出青春的活力……… 一旦青春的天線倒下,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.其實你已垂垂老也.而只要你青春的天線高高聳起,就可以隨時接收到樂觀的電波-----即使你年過八旬,行將就木,而你卻仍然擁有青春,你仍然年輕.
