hank you. 一分鐘英語(yǔ)演講稿:Youth 一分鐘英語(yǔ)演講稿(4) ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon! iamp。8223。m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is amp。ldquo。youthamp。rdquo。. i hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it. first i want to ask you some questions: do you know what is youth? how do you master your 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 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 amp。ndash。distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust . whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being amp。bdquo。s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of whatamp。8223。s next and the joy of the game of living . in the center of your heart and my heart thereamp。8223。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. thatamp。8223。s all ! thank you!
