爱默生曾经说过:“年轻时要做你想做而又不敢做的事情”,而你无疑是这种人生态度的努力践行者。你从不畏惧别人怎么说你,因为你内心的追求只有你自己知道。你从不质疑自己的选择,因为那是你经过理性分析后勇往直前的结果。
有时会惊叹于你对世事人情的深刻洞察和思考不是你这个年纪所应该有的,勤于思考让你比同龄人多了几分成熟和深刻,而这种成熟和深刻却又未能抹杀你的青春锐气和活力,两者的相得益彰让你能够很好地保持对自己内心的尊重和与别人的友好相处。
一个人的征途虽然遥远和漫长,但对于你这种善良乐观的人而言,沿途风景中更多的是星辰和大海。你的善良,你的乐观,你的勤勉,你的坚强,最终会让你看到人世间更多的美好,以及收获更美丽的未来。
在此,以一首闻名遐迩的青春之歌,致你一个人的远行,致你的青春旅途。
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, 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, self-distrust 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.
但愿你渐行渐远时,仍然不忘初心。一个人的探戈,虽孤独但优雅。世界舞台很大,但愿你能以华丽的舞姿跳出一曲精彩的探戈,以不负你的青春之行!
