Youth

Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind, it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions, it is the freshness of the deep spring of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love if ease. This often exits in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows merely by a number of years, we grow old by deserting our ideas.
Years may 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 or 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 is 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’ve grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.

青春

青春不是生命的一段時(shí)光，它是一種精神狀態(tài)，不是指紅潤(rùn)的臉頰、
紅撲撲的嘴唇和柔軟的雙膝；是指不懈的干勁、豐富的想象力
和滾燙的情懷。它是生命春意正濃時(shí)鮮活的記憶。
青春意味著戰(zhàn)勝懦弱的那股大丈夫氣概
和擯棄安逸的那種冒險(xiǎn)精神。往往一個(gè)60歲的老者比一個(gè)20歲的青年更多一點(diǎn)這種勁頭。
人老不僅僅是歲月流逝所致，更主要的是懶惰、不思進(jìn)取的結(jié)果。
光陰可以在顏面上留下印記，而熱情之火的熄滅則在心靈上刻下皺紋。
擔(dān)憂(yōu)、恐懼、缺乏自信，會(huì)扭曲人的靈魂，并將青春化為灰燼。
無(wú)論是60歲還是16歲，你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心，
永不熄滅的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事業(yè)成功的歡樂(lè)和熱情。
在你我的心底，都有一座無(wú)線(xiàn)電臺(tái)：
它能在多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間里接收到美好、希望，歡樂(lè)、鼓舞和力量信息，來(lái)自人間萬(wàn)物傳遞，你就會(huì)年輕多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。
當(dāng)天線(xiàn)倒塌時(shí)，你的精神就被玩世不恭和悲觀厭世的冰雪所覆蓋
你就會(huì)衰老下去，即使你只是20歲；而你的天線(xiàn)巍然矗立著的時(shí)候，
憑著高昂的樂(lè)觀主義，你就有希望在80歲死去時(shí)仍然韶華不逝。
