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 may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, selfdistrust 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 appetite for 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。如此銳氣，二十后生而有之，六旬男子則更多見。 無論年屆花甲，擬或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡樂，奇跡之誘惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。第二篇：Ambition 抱負 AmbitionIt is not difficult to imagine a world short of ambition. It would probably be a kinder world: with out demands, without abrasions, without disappointments. People would have time for reflection. Such work as they did would not be for themselves but for the collectivity. Competition would never enter in. conflict would be eliminated, tension bee a thing of the past. The stress of creation would be at an end. Art would no longer be troubling, but purely celebratory in its functions. Longevity would be increased, for fewer people would die of heart attack or stroke caused by tumultuous endeavor. Anxiety would be extinct. Time would stretch on and on, with ambition long departed from the human heart.Ah, how unrelieved boring life would be!There is a strong view that holds that success is a myth, and ambition therefore a sham. Does this mean that success does not really exist? That achievement is at bottom empty? That the efforts of men and women are of no significance alongside the force of movements and events now not all success, obviously, is worth esteeming, nor all ambition worth cultivating. Which are and which are not is something one soon enough learns on one’s own. But even the most cynical secretly admit that success exists。或許，這將是一個更為友善的世界：沒有渴求，沒有磨擦，沒有失望。人們的緊張關系將成為過往云煙。焦慮將會消失。對值得和不值得的選擇，一個人自然而然很快就能學會。 我們無法選擇出生，無法選擇父母，無法選擇出生的歷史時期與國家，或是成長的周遭環(huán)境。我們決定，用以顯示我們自身重要性的，不是我們做了什么，就是我們拒絕做些什么。最終構筑我們命運的就是抱負之所在。我們決定，我們選擇。但是在這些無法選擇之中，我們的確可以選擇自己的生活方式：是勇敢無畏還是膽小怯懦，是光明磊落還是厚顏無恥，是目標堅定還是隨波逐流。認為成功不存在的觀點很可能造成混亂。 啊，長此以往人生將變得多么乏味無聊！ 有一種盛行的觀點認為，成功是一種神話，因此抱負亦屬虛幻。藝術將不再惹人費神，其功能將純粹為了慶典。他們所從事的工作將不是為了他們自身，而是為了整個集體。 and that the true myth is that the actions of men and women are useless. To believe otherwise is to take on a point of view that is likely to be deranging. It is, in its implications, to remove all motives for petence, interest in attainment, and regard for posterity.We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents.
