Youth

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 tempera-mental 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.cheap jordansair max ltdmax 95shox r4max 360air max 95nike max shoesnike wholesaleWe 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. Just for today I will try to live through this day only and not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime. 　　Just for today I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said，that "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."
　　Just for today I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my "luck" as it comes. 　　Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn somethingnike sneakersnike shox shoesmax 90max shoesjordan sneakersjordan airwholesale nike shoesuseful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
　　Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways. I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out: If anybody knows of it, it will not count. I will do at least two things I don't want to do—just for exercise. I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt: they may be hurt, but today I will not show it. 　　Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize notretro jordanair jordansfree shippingnike maxnike shoxone bit，and try not to improve or regulate anybody but myself. 　　Just for today I will have a program, I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision.
　　Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself and relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life. 　　Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful，and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me. 　　Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder,theair jordansair max ltdunfailing 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.
