致芳华——《Youth》塞缪尔·厄尔曼
年轻，并非人活旅程的一段光阴，也并非粉颊红唇和体魄的强健。
它是心灵中的一种形态，是头脑中的一个意念，是感性头脑中的创造潜力，是心情活动中的一股勃勃的活力，是人生春色深处的一缕旭风。
年轻，意味着宁愿丢弃温馨浪漫的恋爱去闯荡生存，意味着跨越羞怯、害怕和愿望的胆识与气质。而60岁的男人约莫比20岁的小伙子更多地拥有这种胆识与气质。没有人仅仅由于光阴的流逝而变得朽迈，只是随着抱负的扑灭，人类才显现了白叟。
光阴可以在皮肤上留下皱纹，却无法为灵魂刻上一丝痕迹。担心、恐惊、缺乏自傲才使人佝偻于时间尘土之中。
无论是60岁照旧16岁，每一局部都市被将来所吸引，都市对人生竞争中的兴奋怀着孩子般无量无尽的巴望。
在你我心灵的深处，相反有一个无线电台，只需它不休地从人群中，从无穷的时间中承受优美、渴望、欢乐、勇气和力气的信息，你我就永久年轻。一旦这无线电台坍塌，你的心便会被玩世不恭和失望扫兴的严寒漠雪所掩盖，你便朽迈了—即使你仅有20岁。但假如这无线电台一直屹立在你心中，捕捉着每个兴奋向上的电波，你便有渴望凌驾年轻的80岁。
以是只需勇于有梦，勇于追梦，勤于圆梦，我们就永久年轻！
万万不要动不动就说本人老了，错误引导本人！年轻就是力气，有梦就有将来！
英文全文：
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, 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 of ease. This often exits in a man of 60, more than a boy of 20.nobody grows merely by the 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-distrust1 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 infinite, so long as you are young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with the 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.
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind. It is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep spring of life. These are what I have and what we have at this period of life. So, I’m still young, yes, definitely ! Come on my fellow friends, show your energy and passion to this god damn world ! Let the universe hear our voice, see our cheek, hug our enthusiasm and witness our maturity. We’re going to create a brand new future!
