《 年轻 》

　——塞缪尔·乌尔曼

　德裔美籍人塞缪尔厄尔曼70多年前写的一篇只有四百多字的短文，首次在美国发表的时候，引起全美国轰动效应，成千上万的读者把它抄下来当作座右铭收藏，许多中老年人把它作为安排后半生的精神支柱。

　美国的麦克阿瑟将军在指挥整个太平洋战争期间，办公桌上始终摆着装有短文《年轻》复印件的镜框，文中的许多的词句常被他在谈话或开会作报告时引用。

　后来此文传到日本，文章的观点成为许多日本人生活哲学的基础。松下公司的创始人松下幸之助说：“多年来，《年轻》始终是我的座右铭。”

　《 年轻 》

　年轻，并非人生旅程的一段时光，也并非粉颊红唇和体魄的矫健。

　它是心灵中的一种状态，是头脑中的一个意念，是理性思维中的创造潜力，是情感活动中的一股勃勃的朝气，是人生春色深处的一缕东风。

　年轻，意味着甘愿放弃温馨浪漫的爱情去闯荡生活，意味着超越羞涩、怯懦和欲望的胆识与气质。而60岁的男人可能比20岁的小伙子更多地拥有这种胆识与气质。没有人仅仅因为时光的流逝而变得衰老，只是随着理想的毁灭，人类才出现了老人。

　岁月可以在皮肤上留下皱纹，却无法为灵魂刻上一丝痕迹。忧虑、恐惧、缺乏自信才使人佝偻于时间尘埃之中。

　无论是60岁还是16岁，每个人都会被未来所吸引，都会对人生竞争中的欢乐怀着孩子般无穷无尽的渴望。

　在你我心灵的深处，同样有一个无线电台，只要它不停地从人群中，从无限的时间中接受美好、希望、欢欣、勇气和力量的信息，你我就永远年轻。一旦这无线电台坍塌，你的心便会被玩世不恭和悲观失望的寒冷酷雪所覆盖，你便衰老了—即使你只有20岁。但如果这无线电台始终矗立在你心中，捕捉着每个乐观向上的电波，你便有希望超过年轻的80岁。

　所以只要勇于有梦，敢于追梦，勤于圆梦，我们就永远年轻!

　千万不要动不动就说自己老了，错误引导自己!年轻就是力量，有梦就有未来!

　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, vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep spring of life

　Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease This often exits in a man of 60, more than a boy of 20nobody grows merely by the number of years; we grow old by deserting our ideas Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul Worry, fear, self-distrust1 bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust

　Whether 60 or 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 is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from infinite, so long as you are young

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

　Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind It is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep spring of life These are what I have and what we have at this period of life So, I'm still young, yes, definitely ! Come on my fellow friends, show your energy and passion to this god damn world ! Let the universe hear our voice, see our cheek, hug our enthusiasm and witness our maturity We're going to create a brand new future !

总有一些人来到生命当中，一些人离开。不必要怀恨在心，保持理解吧。因为，不是每件事情都要被解释的透透彻彻。也因为女人来自金星，男人来自火星。

总有一些磨难似乎跟别人解释不了，唯有身边的那些人能够懂你。

总有一些情感，走过了，就不会再回来了。

总有一些人，常年喜欢搅局，不要解释，表示理解。

但是，不管怎么样，无论今天是富有还是明天是贫穷，要记得，人最宝贵的是精神，灵魂里的闪烁也是吸引人的关键。

磨难就想一杯美酒，苦难不适合总是拿出来和别人分享，因为，没有人想要听你的那些故事。就着夜深人静的时候，自己将它喝下去。明天早上起床的时候，请神采奕奕，精神饱满，因为，你的第一天无法复制。用实际行动，成为一个神的好仆人，将十字架变成荣耀的见证。用爱来还原应该有的真实世界。阳光照进来的时候，你有没有伸开五指，企图想要遮住强光透进的窗户呢？我们因为服侍神而活着，宽容，大气，同样不记人的恶。拥有宽广的心来面对悖逆。

There are always some people came to life among some people to leave Unnecessary grudge, maintain understand it Because not everything should be interpreted Toutou purely But also because women are from Venus, men are from Mars

There are always suffering can not seem to explain to others, only those who are around you can understand

There are always emotional, gone, it will not come back

There are always some people, like perennial spoiler, do not explain that they understand

But, anyway, whether today or tomorrow is full of poverty, to remember that the most valuable is the spirit, the soul of the key flashes is appealing

Tribulations wanted a glass of wine, not for suffering always come up and share with others, because no one wants to hear your stories On the dead of night, he would drink it Tomorrow morning, get up, please voice, full of energy, because you can not copy the first day Practical action, to become a good servant of God, and the glory of the cross into a witness Love should have used to restore the real world The sun shone, you have five fingers outstretched, attempting want to glare through the windows into it Because we serve God and live, tolerance, the atmosphere, the same people do not remember evil To face with a wide of heart rebellion

真爱

An ancient Hebraic text says:" love is as strong as death" It seems that not everyone experiences this kind of strong love The increasing probably,crime and war tells us that the world is in indispensable need of true love But what is true love

Love is something we all needBut how do we know when we experience it

True love is best seen as the promotion and action, not an emotion Love is not exclusively based how we feelCertainly our emotions are involvedBut they cannot be our only criteria for loveTrue love is when you care enough about another person that you will lay down your life for them When this happens,then love truly is as strong as deathHow many of you have a mother, or father,husband or wife,son or daughter or friend who would sacrifice his or her own life on yours Those of you who truly love your spells but unchildren, would unselfishly lay your life on the line to save them from death Many people in an emergency room with their loved ones and prayed"please, God,take me instead of them"Find true love and be a true lover as wellMay you find a love which is not only strong as death, but to leave to a truly for feeling life

一篇古代希伯来文说到：“爱和死一样强烈” 好像不是每个人都经历了这种强烈的爱。 日益增加的贫穷，犯罪和战争告诉我们这个世界极度需要真爱。 但是，真爱是什么？

爱是我们都需要的东西，但是我们怎么知道什么时候经历了爱？ 真爱最好被看成是奉献和行动,而不是情感 爱不完全是基于我们的感觉 当然我们的情感也涉及到了,但是情感不能成为我们对爱的唯一标准 真爱是当你们足够关心在乎另一个人,你们愿意为他们放弃自己的生命 当这种事发生了,那么爱的确是"和死亡同样强烈"

你们当中有多少人的父亲母亲,丈夫妻子,儿子女儿或朋友愿意为你而牺牲他(她)自己的生命 你愿意无私地放弃自己的生命来拯救你真正爱着的配偶和孩子免于死亡 许多人在急救室为他们所爱的人祈祷, "上帝, 请让我来代替他们"

找到真爱并成为一个真正的爱人 祝愿你们找到一个不但比死亡还要强烈, 而且带给你们真正幸福生活的爱。
