演讲稿要求内容充实，条理清楚，重点突出。在发展不断提速的社会中，演讲稿的使用越来越广泛，那么一般演讲稿是怎么写的呢？下面是小编精心整理的青春的英语演讲稿，仅供参考，希望能够帮助到大家。
“Once upon a time，there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. To all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. One day, into the king's palace came a handsome young prince…" Well, you know the rest. The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the princess's hand triumphantly.
And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line "And they live happily every after."
Why aren't we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, I would say, so unimaginative? How can a story like that endure generations of repetition`? Because, I think, it is a typical success story. It is highly philosophical and symbolic. By implication, we see a 4-step definition of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess; 2 ) challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks; 3 ) the process of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; and 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage.
The story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result. The reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa. If a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence. The term "success", to be sure. will not sit still for easy definition. But as I understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor. To clarify my view, let me give another analogy.
If we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. If we further changed the rules by not allowing Arsenal's defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. In accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value. The sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.
The concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative. Something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person. In acquiring the ability to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success. That's why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly to the field of science.
I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this. I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level contest.But I chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. Now here I am. If I come out first, it will be a great success for me. If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. For me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because I have truly gained by participating.
Let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of success. You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too.
Thank you.
If I had my life to live over……I would have talked less and listened more.I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained andthe sofa faded. I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather rambleabout his youth. I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on asummer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed. I would have burnedthe pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage. I would havesat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains. I wouldhave cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watchinglife. I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earthwould go into a holding patter if I were not there for the day. I would neverhave bought anything just because it was practical，would not show soil or wasguaranteed to last a life time. There would have been more“I love you”……more“I‘msorry”……but mostly，given another shots at life，I would seize every minute……lookat it and really see it……live it……and never give it back.
假如生活从头再来假如我能重新生活,我会说得更少，听得更多。我会邀请朋友来吃饭，即使地毯变脏,沙发褪色。我会花时间听我的祖父漫谈他的年轻时光。我再也不会坚持在某个夏天的某一天车窗一定要打开，而我的头发刚刚被喷胶并被做好。我会点燃雕得像朵玫瑰一样的粉红的蜡烛，在它被在存储中融化之前。我会与我的孩子一起坐在草坪上，不用担心草地上的污渍。我会在看电视时哭得更少,笑得更少，而更多的是观察生活。当我生病时,我会上床睡觉，而不是假装如果我不在一天,地球就会停止不动。我再也不会购买任何据说是实用的,牢固的,保证可用一生的东西。我会说更多的“我爱你.”……更多的“对不起.”……可是，我被生活再次击倒，我会抓住每一分钟……看看它,实实在在地看它……好好生活……决不让它重头再来。

ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon! i’m very glad to stand here and giveyou a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. i hope you will like it , andfound the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.
first i want to ask you some questions:
1、 do you know what is youth?
2、 how do you master your youth?
youth
youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is thefreshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of theappetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60more than a boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years . we growold by deserting our ideals.
years 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 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure ofwonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the gameof living . in the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and powerfrom men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
when the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows ofcynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but aslong as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you maydie young at 80.
thank you!
青春
青春不是指岁月，而是指心态。粉嫩的脸，红润的唇，矫健的膝并不是青春。青春表现在意志的坚强与懦弱。想象的丰富与苍白、情感的充沛与贫乏等方面。青春是生命深处清泉的喷涌。
青春是追求。只有当勇气盖过怯弱、进取压倒苟安之时，青春才存在。果如此，则60见之长者比20岁之少年更具青春活力。仅仅岁月的流逝并不能使他们衰老。而一旦抛弃理想和信念，则垂垂老也。
岁月只能使皮肤起皱。而一旦丧失生活的激情，则连灵魂枯老，使人生枯如死水，毫无活力。
60岁长者也好，16岁少年也罢，每个人的内心深处都渴望奇迹，都如孩子一般眨着期待的双眼，期待着下一次，期待着生活的情趣，你我灵魂深处都有一座无线电中转站------只有你我年轻，则总能听到
希望的呼唤，总能发出喜悦的欢呼，总能传达勇气的讯号，总能表现出青春的活力………
一旦青春的天线倒下，你的灵魂即为玩世不恭之雪、悲观厌世之冰覆盖;即使你年方20.其实你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天线高高耸起，就可以随时接收到乐观的电波-----即使你年过八旬，行将就木，而你却仍然拥有青春，你仍然年轻。
谢谢!
Dear :
Youth, is the most beautiful season in our life, she gave birth to the vitality of early spring, showing the warm summer, hidden in the autumn of solid, shows the hope of winter, full of poetic without lack of passion for struggle, fashion romantic and full of struggle.
Let youth fire burning forever, let life lightning across the horizon, with all the enthusiasm in return for time, let the young dream no end! I greatly appreciate this passage in the fire youth, and has been using it to stimulate their learning, work and life. I think, youth should burn, light is valuable! People's life may burn may also decay, in this case, I don't want to decay, also can't decay, I am willing to burn up! Friends here! Will you?
Youth, is the most beautiful season in our life, she gave birth to the vitality of early spring, showing the warm summer, hidden in the autumn of solid, shows the hope of winter, full of poetic without lack of passion for struggle, fashion romantic and full of struggle. When a person's youth into an era, a career, such youth will not go away, and the career will also reflect the dazzling light in the years of experience. Speaking of which, I think of such a sentence: " some people alive, he is dead; Some people are dead, he is still alive. " the meaning of life is to live, so what is the meaning of living? Of course not to live and live, the answer is only two words, dedication! We can imagine, don't pay, don't create, don't pursue, such youth must grow old in the passage of time, looking back, no trace, no recall, life is filled with sigh. I think this is definitely not the meaning of our existence. Through the ages, there are countless capable volunteers in their youth has achieved immortal life, here I have no time to list one by one. However, there is a person's name but I can't mention, he is our eternal learning model, one of the most ordinary and selfless is also the greatest man. Do you know who he is? This legend is lei feng, he told us: " youth, is always good, but the real youth, only belong to those who will always strive for the upper reaches, selfless labor forever, always modest people! " I think everyone here, including myself, can become such a person.
I told myself, " as long as you are gold, can light, as long as you fight in the face of life, you will get. " the road is long its Xiu Yuan Xi, I will be up and down and seek. Youth is the season of study, youth is the years of struggle, don't stop our pace of progress, because the road of youth is long. When you're free, calm down to read a book, think back about the way you walked, make a plan for your life, put your ideal engraved in mind, be a willing to lonely, dare to innovate, motivated young people. We must seize the golden youth, let life leave eternal glory!
Thank you!
A Chief Executive officer is not necessarily someone who has had a lot offormal training.So, I doubt moreschooling would help you climb up that ladder ofsuccess.
Maybe you should try and change your work habits or character. You cannotjust sit around in an organization waiting for people to promote you. You haveto let people know you are ambitious and waiting for biggerand more rewardingchallenges. You should tell your supervisor or boss that you want to be promotedand rise up that management ladder. A good manager will accept, even respect thefact that you wish for career development. If this is not the case, you shouldfind a new job or new company that will allow you to grow.
You must start out small. Hoping that one day you will suddenly becomedirector of a company is doubtful. Getting ready for a slow ascent is morelikely. Accept it, and commit yourself, realizing that it may be alongclimb.
You will need some skills to propel you up that ladder of success.You mustbe competent, that is you need to develop skills in many areas, such asmarketing, human resources, public relations and finances.
You must also be a good people person, always cultivating relationshipswith the people around you.Having “guanxi” is a necessary characteristic of anysuccessful CEO.
公司的首席执行官未必都是经过许多正规培训的人。所以，我认为接受更多的学校教育未必就能促使你在成功的阶梯上步步高升。
也许，你应该试着改变工作习惯或性格。不能仅仅在一个单位里坐等别人来提升你。必须让人们知道你胸怀大志，正在等待更大的、回报更多的挑战。应该告诉你的上司或老板：你想得到提拔，登上管理者的阶层。一位好经理将会理解，甚重你发展亊业的愿望。假如情况不是这样的话，你就应该另谋髙就，以使自己得到发展。
必须从小处开始做起。幻想着有一天突然当上某公司的领导是不太现实的。作好准备慢慢地升迁，可能性更大。接受现实，全力以赴，要意识到这可能是一种漫长的攀登。
你需要掌握一些促使自己往上爬升的技能。你必须具备胜任工作的各种能力。换句话说，你必须具备诸如市场营销、人力资源、公关和财务等方面的技能。
你也必须要有良好的人缘，营造与周围的人黻洽的关系，好的"关系"是任何一位成功的首席执行官必备的要素。
saying goodbye to childhood,we step into another important time in the pace of young,facing new situations,dealing with different problems.....
everyone has his ownunderstanding of young,it is a period of time of beauty and wonders,only after you have
experienced the sour ,sweet ,bitter and salty can you really become a person of significance.thre time of young is limitted,it may paby without your attention,and when you discover what has happened ,it is always too late.grasping the young well means a better time is waiting for you in the near future,or the situation may be opposite .
having a view on these great men in the history of hunmanbeing,they all made full use of their youth time ,to do things that are useful to society,to the whole mankind,and as a cosquence ,they are remembered by later
generations,admired by everyone.so do something in the time of young,although you may not get achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole word,just for youeself,for those around!
the young is just like blooming flowers,they are so beautiful when blooming,they make people feel happy,but with time passing by,after they withers ,moet people think they are ugly.and so it is the same with young,we are enthusiastic when we are young,then we may lose our passion when getting older and older.so we must treasure it ,don't let the limitted time paby ,leaving nothing of significance.
every one has his own dream.when i was a little kid ,my dream was even to have a candy shop of my own .but now ,when i am 16 years old ,standing here ,my dreams have already changed a lot.
i have got quite different experience from other girls.while they were playing toys at home,while they were dreaming to be the princesses in the story .i was running in the hard rain,jumping in the heavy snow,pitching in the strong wind.nothing could stop me ,because of a wonderful call from my heart -- to be an athlete.yeah ,of course ,i'm an athlete,i'm so proud of that all the time .
when i was 10 years old ,i became a shot-put athlete.the training was really hard ,i couldn't bear the heavy shot in my hands .but i always believe that god only help those who help themselves.during those hard days,i find i was growing more quickly than others of the same age.to be an athlete is my most correct choice.but,i quit my team after entering high school because of a silly excuse.i really didn't want to stop my sports career anyway.
today i say to you my friends that even though i must face the difficulties of yesterday ,today and tomorrow .i still have a dream .it is a dream deeply rooted in my soul.
What are you passionate about? Dare to express and expand that passion in everything you do.
Stand back and look at your life from a distance, as an objective observer. What you'll see is a pattern, a common thread running through all the various aspects of all that you have done.
That common thread is connected to a passion living deep inside of you. The more fully you allow that passion to flow from you, the more richness your life will know.
The more readily you admit and express that passion to yourself and to the world, the more fulfilling your moments will be. Keeping it hidden and suppressed will only lead to pain and regret.
There is a passion in you that is constantly pushing to see the light of day. Let it out and let it grow.
That passion is a unique and precious gift
When you experience a setback, it may seem natural to rering your expectations. Yet that is not the only choice you have.Just imagine what would happen if you did exactly the opposite. Just imagine what would happen if you decided to raise your expectations in response to each setback.
With such a strategy, negative momentum never has a chance to take hold. For even the disappointments serve to push you forward
Your current expectations have much more power and influence than anything that has occurred in your past. For it is your current expectations that give direction to your energy and your actions.
Choose to make that direction a positive, valuable, creative one. From even the most burdensome difficulty, you can begin to move forward immediately.
Base your expectations on your most treasured dreams and your most profound purpose, rather than on life's random events or circumstances. And nothing will be able to hold you back for long.
To see the golden sun and the azure sky, the outstretched ocean, to walkupon the green earth, and to be lord of a thousand creatures, to look down giddyprecipices or over distant flowery vales, to see the world spread out underone's finger in a map, to bring the stars near, to view the smallest insects ina microscope, to read history, and witness the revolutions of empires and thesuccession of generations, to hear of the glory of Simon and Tire, of Babylonand Susan, as of a faded pageant, and to say all these were, and are nownothing, to think that we exist in such a point of time ,and in such a corner ofspace, to be at once spectators and a part of the moving scene, to watch thereturn of the seasons, of spring and autumn, to hear---
The stock dove plain amid the forest deep,That drowsy rustles to the sighing gale.
---to traverse desert wilderness, to listen to the dungeon's gloom, or sitin crowded theatres and see life itself mocked, to feel heat and cold, pleasureand pain, right and wrong, truth and falsehood, to study the works of art andrefine the sense of beauty to agony, to worship fame and to dream ofimmortality, to have read Shakespeare and Beloit to the same species as SirIsaac Newton; to be and to do all this, and then in a moment to be nothing, tohave it all snatched from one like a juggler's ball or a phantasmagoria……
我们看到金色的太阳，蔚蓝的天空，广阔的海洋;我们漫步在绿油油的大地之上，做万物的主人;我们俯视令人目炫心悸的悬崖峭壁，远眺鲜花盛开的山谷;我们把地图摊开，任意指点全球;我们把星辰移到眼前观看，还在显微镜下观察极其微小的生物;我们学历史，亲自目睹帝国的兴亡、时代的交替;我们听人谈论西顿、推罗、巴比伦和苏撒的勋业，如同听一番往昔的盛会，听了之后，我们说：这些事确实发生过，但现在却是过眼云烟了;我们思考着自己生活的时代、生活的地区;我们在人生的活动舞台上既当观众、又当演员;我们观察四季更迭、春秋代序;我们听见了——
野鸽在浓密的树林中哀诉，树林随微风的叹息而低语;
我们横绝大漠;我们倾听子夜的歌声;我们光顾灯火辉煌的厅堂，走下阴森森的地牢，或者坐在万头攒动的剧院里观看生活本身受到的摹拟;我们亲身感受炎热和寒冷，快乐和痛苦，正义和邪恶，真理和谬误;我们钻研艺术作品，把自己的美感提高到极其敏锐的程度;我们崇拜荣誉，梦想不朽;我们阅读莎士比亚，或者把自己和牛顿爵士视为同一族类;——正当我们面临这一切、从事这一切的时候，自己却在一刹那之间化为虚无，眼前的一切，象是魔术师手中的圆球，象是一场幻影，一下子全都消失得无影无踪.....
Distinguished judges, teachers, dear friends:
Hello, everyone! My name is cheng xiang yan , I am a junior student come from life science institution .Today, I am very glad to stand here and share with you my most sincere speech‘Flying youth, master our future!’
Life is a process of growing up. Saying goodbye to childhood, we step into another important time of life in the pace of young, facing new situations, dealing with different problems.....
However, who can really say what the youth is ? A period of time? A belief?An attitude to life? Or anything else? actually, everyone has his ownunderstanding of young, it is a period of time of beauty and wonders, only after you have experienced the sour , sweet ,bitter and salty, can you really become a person of significance.
Just like A famous poet said ‘ youth is a lovely song ,where nothing is impossible ,youth is a meaningful book, you’ll be never bored of it ;youth is a rapid river ,it keeps on flowing day and night ;youth is a cup of tea ,it shows you different kinds of tastes in your life. ’
As youth is so precious, of course, we must treasure it .Don’t let the limited time pass by, grasping the young will means a better time is waiting for you in the near future.
So,It’s necessary for us to prepare ourselves well for the future to come. having a view on those great men in the history of hunman being, they all made full use of their youth time to do things that are useful to society, to the whole mankind, and as a consequence ,they are remembered by later generations, admired by everyone. so do something in the time of young, although you may not get achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole world, just for youeself, for those around!
So, what should we do when we are young? Here,I’ll point out some tips to help equip ourselves.
First of all,think of what you’d like to be some day. A teacher ? A doctor ? A writer? Don’t afraid of dreaming of big and great .Since you are young , you can dream of doing anything and becoming anyone in the future.
What’s more , never ignore the power of knowledge. Read more books and travel around. For one thing, it can increase your knowledge, for another, it’ll broaden your horizon.
Last but not the least , stick to your dream. It easier said than done. After all, future is not all roses. young is just like blooming flowers, they are so beautiful when blooming, which make people feel happy, but with time passing by, after they withers ,most people think they are ugly. and so it is the same with young, we are enthusiastic when we are young, then we may lose our passion when getting older and older. So we should have enough courage and determination to overcome all the difficulties in struggling on the road.
I firmly believe one sentence that‘If you think you can, of course you can!’Just believe we can make it! Keep on walking towards our dream. Flying youth , master our future. From today, from now on , are you Ready ?
That’s all. Thank you so much for your attention !
翻译：尊敬的评委，老师，亲爱的朋友们：
大家好!我的名字是程翔艳，我是一名初中学生来自生命科学机构。今天，我能站在这里与你分享我最真挚的speech'flying青年非常高兴，掌握我们的未来!'
生命是一个成长的过程。告别童年，我们步入了另一个重要的生活节奏，在年轻的步伐，面对新的情况，处理不同的问题的时候了
然而，谁能真正说什么是青春?一段时间?一种信仰?一种生活的态度?还是别的什么?其实，每个人都有自己观点的年轻人，这是一段美丽和奇迹，只有在你经历了酸，甜，苦，咸，你真的能成为一个人的意义。
正如一位著名的诗人说：“青春是一首可爱的歌，没有什么是不可能的，青春是一本有意义的书，你永远不会厌倦它;青春是一条快速的河流，它日夜流淌;青春是一杯茶，它会给你的生活展示各种不同的品味。'
青春是如此的珍贵，当然，我们必须珍惜它，不要让有限的时间流逝，抓住年轻人意味着一个更好的时间在不久的将来等着你。
因此，有必要为我们做好准备，为未来的到来。有在人类的历史上那些伟大的人的观点，他们都充分利用了自己的青春时光去做一些对社会是有益的，对整个人类，作为一个后果，他们被后人所铭记，人人羡慕的。这样做在年轻的时候，虽然你可能不会得到成就这些greatmen做，但不是整个世界，只为自己，为周围的人!
那么，当我们年轻的时候我们应该做什么呢?在这里，我会指出一些技巧，以帮助装备自己。
首先，想一想有一天你会是什么样的。一个老师吗?一个医生吗?一个作家?不要害怕伟大和伟大的梦想，因为你很年轻，你可以梦想做任何事情，成为未来的任何人。
更为，永远不要忽视知识的力量。多读些书，四处旅行。一方面，它可以增加你的知识，另一方面，它会扩大你的视野。
最后，但不是最不重要的，坚持你的梦想。说起来容易做起来容易。毕竟，未来不是所有的玫瑰。年轻就像盛开的花朵，他们是如此美丽盛开的时候，这让人感到高兴，但是随着时间的流逝，后肩，大多数人认为他们是丑陋的。所以它是相同的年轻，我们是热情的，当我们年轻的时候，那么我们可能会失去我们的激情时，越来越老。因此，我们应该有足够的勇气和决心，克服一切困难，在奋斗的道路上。
我坚信一句话声明'如果你认为你可以，你当然可以!只要相信我们能做到!继续走我们的梦想。飞扬的青春，掌握我们的未来。从今天开始，从现在开始，你准备好了吗?
就要这些。谢谢你这么多的关注!

Base your expectations on your most treasured dreams and your most profound purpose, rather than on life's random events or circumstances. And nothing will be able to hold you back for long.
When someone looks into your eyes they should see something alive withinyou. Having a dream is like owning a lighthouse1 which directs you on yourjourney.
At every turn we come across its mystery. At each new level we become moreof the person we were meant to become. In lonely times, when we pass through astorm of disappointment, we find our faith is unshaken, our strength stillstrong.
Believe in your faith. Set the vision before your eyes. Write down yourmost sincere dreams and when the opportunity comes, step into your dream. It maytake one season or more, but the result is the same. Make big dreams and then goout and make them realities. The highest hopes of the dreamer are revealed withevery step taken in their journey to the impossible. For a season we mustprotect the dream so that it can grow quietly on the inside. But if we tenderlycare for our deepest expectations, slowly but surely the dream will become newlife.
Dreaming is an act of faith. The light of your expectations will cast offthe shadows of a disbelieving world. God has given us the dreamer as a gift tolight an unbelieving world.
Find your treasure within and cherish2 it. Tomorrow is waiting for you totake the first step.
Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; 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 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 of 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’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are 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.
Thank you!
翻译：青春不是生命的时候，它是一种精神状态;它不是红润的脸颊、红润的嘴唇和柔软的膝盖，它是一种情绪的物质：它是新鲜的;它是生命深处的新鲜。
青春意味着勇气驱走怯懦气贯长虹，冒险战胜安逸。这往往存在于一个60岁以上的男子，比一个20岁的男孩。没有人会变老，只是靠一些年。不思进取。
岁月在皮肤上起皱纹，但放弃热情则会使灵魂起皱。忧虑，恐惧，自我不信任扭曲了心灵，把精神变成了尘土。
不管60 16，但在每个人的心，奇迹之诱惑，孩童的孩童般的渴望和对生活的乐趣。在你的心和我的心有一个无线电台：只要它接收到美好，希望，欢乐，勇气和力量的信息，从男人和从无限的，只要你年轻。
当天线倒塌时，你的心灵蒙上玩世不恭的霜雪和悲观厌世的冰凌，那么你已经老了，甚至在20，但只要你竖起天线，捕捉乐观的信号，你就有希望在80岁死去。
谢谢你!
