Youth

Youth is not a time of life; it's a state of mind; it's not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it's a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; 免费vpn it's the freshness of the vpn软件免费 deep springs 免费vpn of life.

Youth vpn软件免费 means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for the adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than of 20.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years vpn免费下载 may wrinkle the skin, but to give 免费vpn up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. vpn免费 Worry, fear ,self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.

Whether 60 vpn免费 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 vpn免费 living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station: so long as it receives message of beauty ,hope, cheer, courage and power from men and 免费vpn from the infinite, so long are you young.

When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cyniciam and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20,but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves vpn免费 of optimism, there is hope you may die vpn免费 young at 80.

Three days to see

All of us have read vpn软件免费 thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twenty-four hours, but always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose vpn免费下载 to spend his last days or his last hours. I speak, of course, of free men who have 免费vpn a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.

Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings? What happiness should we find in vpn免费下载 reviewing the past, what regrets?

Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would vpn免费下载 emphasize sharply vpn免费下载 the values of life. We should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama 免费vpn of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who would adopt the epicurean motto of "Eat, drink, and be merry," most people would be chastened by the certainty of vpn软件免费 impending death.

Most of us take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future, when we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty task, hardly aware of our listless attitude vpn软件免费 towards life.

The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold vpn软件免费 blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this vpn软件免费 observation apply to those who have lost sight vpn免费 and hearing in adult life. But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sound hazily, without concentration, and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we conscious of health until we are ill.

I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence vpn免费 would teach him the joys of sound.

Now and then I have tested my seeing friends vpn软件免费 to discover what they see. Recently I was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from vpn软件免费 a long walk in the woods, and I asked her what she had observed. "Nothing in particular," she replied. I might have been incredulous had I not been accustomed to such responses, for vpn免费 long ago I became convinced that the vpn免费下载 seeing see little.

How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the vpn免费 rough shaggy bark of a pine. In spring I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud, the first sign of awakening Nature 免费vpn vpn免费下载 after her winter's sleep I feel the vpn免费 delightful, velvety texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable convolutions; and something of the miracle of Nature is revealed to me. Occasionally, vpn免费下载 if 免费vpn I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently in a small tree and feel 免费vpn the happy quiver of a bird in full song. I am delighted to have cool waters of a brook rush through my open fingers. To me a lush carpet vpn免费下载 of pine needles or spongy grass vpn免费下载 is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug. To me vpn软件免费 the pageant of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama, the action 免费vpn of which streams through my finger tips. At times my heart cries out with longing to see all these things. If I can get so much pleasure from mere touch, vpn免费下载 vpn免费 how much more beauty must be revealed by sight. Yet, those who have eyes apparently see little. The panorama of color and action fill the world is taken for granted. It is human, perhaps, to appreciate little that which we have and to long for that which we have not, but it is a great pity that in the world of light and the gift of sight is used only as mere convenience rather that as a means of adding fullness to life.

Oh, the things that I should see if I had the power of sight for three days!
