年輕,并非人生旅程的一段時(shí)光,也并非粉頰紅唇和體魄的矯健。
它是心靈中的一種狀態(tài),是頭腦中的一個(gè)意念,是理性思維中的創(chuàng)造潛力,是情感活動(dòng)中的一股勃勃的朝氣,是人生春色深處的一縷東風(fēng)。

年輕,意味著甘愿放棄溫馨浪漫的愛情去闖蕩生活,意味著超越羞澀、怯懦和欲望的膽識與氣質(zhì)。而60歲的男人可能比20歲的小伙子更多地?fù)碛羞@種膽識與氣質(zhì)。沒有人僅僅因?yàn)闀r(shí)光的流逝而變得衰老,只是隨著理想的毀滅,人類才出現(xiàn)了老人。

歲月可以在皮膚上留下皺紋,卻無法為靈魂刻上一絲痕跡。憂慮、恐懼、缺乏自信才使人佝僂于時(shí)間塵埃之中。
無論是60歲還是16歲,每個(gè)人都會被未來所吸引,都會對人生競爭中的歡樂懷著孩子般無窮無盡的渴望。

在你我心靈的深處,同樣有一個(gè)無線電臺,只要它不停地從人群中,從無限的時(shí)間中接受美好、希望、歡欣、勇氣和力量的信息,你我就永遠(yuǎn)年輕。一旦這無線電臺坍塌,你的心便會被玩世不恭和悲觀失望的寒冷酷雪所覆蓋,你便衰老了—即使你只有20歲。但如果這無線電臺始終矗立在你心中,捕捉著每個(gè)樂觀向上的電波,你便有希望超過年輕的90歲。

所以只要勇于有夢,敢于追夢,勤于圓夢,我們就永遠(yuǎn)年輕!
千萬不要?jiǎng)硬粍?dòng)就說自己老了,錯(cuò)誤引導(dǎo)自己!年輕就是力量,有夢就有未來!
【英語原文】
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 refreshness 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 sixty more than a body of twenty. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit bask to dats.
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing child-like 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 are you 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 twenty, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at eighty.
