在这个世界上，还有什么字眼比“青春”更动人，更富有魅力？
青春是一种心境，是一种品质，是深沉的意志、恢弘的想象、炽热的感情和自信的心态的结合体。青春就是生机和活力，青春就是信心和勇气，青春就是前进的动力。
亲爱的你，在这个最“迷人”的年纪，一起走进这个如诗如画的世界，拥抱黎明，拥抱阳光，拥抱青春，拥抱希望，共同体验这段美丽的人生历程。
Youth
Samuel Ullman
这是一篇关于“青春”的哲理散文，传说太平洋战争打得正酣之时，麦克阿瑟将军还常常从繁忙中抬起头，注视着挂在墙上的镜框里的文章；松下电器公司的创始人松下幸之助，数十年来把这篇文章当作其座右铭。力量源自哪里?或许，就是它深刻的思想、巧妙的论辩力、精彩的语言。
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 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 may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, selfdistrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, 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 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 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.
塞缪尔·厄尔曼（Samuel Ullman，1840—1920），出生于德国，童年时移居美国密西西比。他是一位五金制品商，热心公益67年如一日。厄尔曼虽以教育家和社会活动家闻名于世，但在文学创作方面也很有才华。
只要愿意，青春常在！
Feeling of Youth
No young man believes he shall ever die. It was a saying of my brother’s, and a fine one. There is a feeling of Eternity in youth, which makes us amend for everything. To be young is to be as one of the Immortal Gods. One half of time indeed is flownthe other half remains in store for us with all its countless treasures; for there is no line drawn, and we see no limit to our hopes and wishes. We make the coming age our own
If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think. 若想要收获更多，那你就得改变一下自己思维方式。
Sometimes wisdom is knowing when it’s time to move on. 有时候，真正的智慧就是懂得何时重新开始。
The vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us.
Death, old age are words without a meaning. That pass by us like the idea air which we regard not. Others may have undergone, or may still be liable to them—we “bear a charmed life”, which laughs to scorn all such sickly fancies. As in setting out on delightful journey, we strain our eager gaze forwardbidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!
And see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting themselves as we advance; so, in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations, nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them. We have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on so forever. We look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseless progress; and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave. It is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedness of our feelings in youth, that（so to speak）identifies us with nature, and（our experience being slight and our passions strong）deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it. Our shortlives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting uniona honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation. As infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the moreobjects press around us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.
关于青春，你会想起哪些名句呢？
1. In youth, we clothe ourselves with rainbows, and go as brave as the zodiac.（Emerson）
2. Life is a leaf of paper white, thereon each of us may write his word or two.（Amy Lowell）
3. Youth is the season of hope, enterprise, and energy to a nation as well as an individual.（W. R. Williams）
4. There is a limit to one’s youth, but no limit to his wisdom. Draw on the limitless wisdom during the short span of youth.（Maxim Gorky）
