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.
That?s all !
Thank you!
女士们，先生们，下午好！我？我很高兴能站在这里给你一个简短的演讲。今天我的主题是“青春”。我希望你会喜欢它，并发现在你的年轻人的重要性，让更多的珍惜它。
首先我想问你一些问题：
1你知道什么是青春吗？
2，你如何掌握你的`青春？
青年
青春不是生命的时候，它是一种精神状态；它不是红润的脸颊、红润的嘴唇和柔软的膝盖，它是一种情绪的物质：它是新鲜的；它是生命深处的新鲜。
青春意味着勇气驱走怯懦气贯长虹，冒险战胜安逸。这往往存在于一个60岁以上的男子，比一个20岁的男孩。没有人会变老，只是靠一些年。不思进取。
岁月在皮肤上起皱纹，但放弃热情则会使灵魂起皱。忧虑，恐惧，自我不信任扭曲了心灵，把精神变成了尘土。
16的60，在每个人都有？心奇迹的诱惑惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰的什么？下一步和生活中的快乐。在你的心和我的心在那里？是一个无线电台：只要它接收来自人类和无限的美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信息，只要你年轻。
当天线倒塌时，你的心灵蒙上玩世不恭的霜雪和悲观厌世的冰凌，那么你已经老了，甚至在20，但只要你竖起天线，捕捉乐观的信号，你就有希望在80岁死去。
那？都是！
谢谢你！
