it is a state of mind;
it is not a matter of rosy cheeks,red lips and supple knees;
it is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions;
it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means the temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite of adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of sixty more than in a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old by merely living 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, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair-these bow the heart and turn the spirit back to dust. Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being'
s heart the love of wonder, the sweet amazement at the stars and the star like things, the undaunted challedge of events, the unfailing child-like appetite for what-next, and the joy of the game of living. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt;
as young as your faithm as old as your fear;
as young as your hope, as old as your despair. In the central place of your heart there is a wireless station, so long as it receives message of beauty, hope, courage, grandeur and power from the earth, from man and from the Infinite, so long are you young. When the wires are all down, and all the central places of your heart are covered with the central places of your heart are covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and only then, are you grown old indeed. 打得手很酸 我打字快 3分钟打完 如果有打错 请多包涵。
