Ladies and Gentlemen , Good afternoon! I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. I hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.
First I want to ask you some questions:
1、 Do you know what is youth?
2、 How do you master your youth?
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!
女士們,先生們,大家下午好!我很高興站在這里給你一個簡短的講話。今天我演講的題目是“青春”。我希望你會喜歡它,并發(fā)現(xiàn)了你的青春的重要性,讓更多的珍惜它。
首先我要問你幾個問題:
1,你知道什么是青春嗎?
2,你如何掌握你的青春?
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。
