Youth is not a period of time, but a state of mind; Youth is not a soft knee with rosy cheeks and red lips, but a deep will, a grand imagination and passionate feelings. Youth is the deep spring of life.
Youth means a kind of courage to overcome timidity, a kind of adventurous desire to overcome ease. This is more common in a 60-year-old man than in a 20-year-old boy. No one grows old just because of age. We grow old by giving up our ideals.
Youth pervades Changhong, courage overcomes timidity, and enterprising overcomes Gou 'an. This spirit is born after the age of twenty, and it is more common for men in their sixties. Getting old is not getting old, but giving up ideals will lead to getting old.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns youth to ashes.
Years are long, and decline only reaches the skin; Enthusiasm gives up, decadence gives up the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns youth to ashes.
Whether 60 years old or 16 years old, everyone has the temptation of miracles, a childlike desire for the future and the pleasure of enjoying life. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: as long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, joy, courage and strength from men and women, you will remain young forever.
No matter how old you are, no matter whether you are 28 or 28, you have the joy of life and the temptation of miracles in your heart, as naive as a child. In the center of everyone's heart there is an antenna, so long as you receive messages of beauty, hope, joy, courage and strength from the sky, you will always be young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with ice and snow, cynicism and self-abandonment arise. Even at 20, you are old. But as long as your aerials are up and you catch signals of optimism, there is hope that you will die young at the age of 80.
When the aerials are down, your spirit is covered with ice and snow, and you are covered with cynicism and self-denial. Even at 20, you are old. However, as long as you put up your antenna to catch optimistic signals, you may die young at the age of 80.
