談到美人名將遲暮的嘆息，不由得必須找出這篇『青春』來與大家分享：
"Youth 青春 著者 Samuel Ullman/撒母耳.烏爾曼" Samuel Ullman (1840-1924) 是美國商人，也是文學家。
他常把這篇『青春』的真諦加入他的商業工作演講中，鼓勵人們。
著名『麥克阿瑟』將軍也是『青春』的躬身執行者。
Samuel Ullman 從商場退休後，更是發揮『青春』精神，從書信，散文，詩歌創作不斷。
寫愛情，家庭，大自然，宗教等等題材廣泛，人性光輝『青春』無比。
年華遠去，再看這篇『青春』，真的體會深刻，大大的受到了鼓勵。感謝Sameul Ullman.
原文如下：
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 20.nobody 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-distrust 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 appetiteof 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.
