前言 青春
PREFACE Youth

◎Samuel Ullman

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，a vigor of the emotions；it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

Youth means a tempera-mental 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 may wrinkle the skin，but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul．Worry，fear，self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.

Whether 60 or 16，there is in every human being\'s heart the lure of wonder，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 the Infinite，so long are you 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.

青春不是年华，而是一种心态；青春不是红润的双颊、鲜红的双唇、柔软的双膝，而是坚忍的意志、丰富的想象、炽热的情感；青春是生命之泉在喷涌。

青春是气贯长虹的勇气，它能战胜怯弱；青春是勇于冒险的渴望，它打败苟安。这股精神，二十岁的人身上有，但六十岁的人身上更多见。年岁的增加，并非真正的衰老。真正的衰老始于放弃理想的那一刻。

悠悠岁月，老去的只是容颜；抛弃激情，衰败的却是灵魂。忧心、恐惧、缺乏自信会使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

不论花甲之年，还是芳龄十六，奇迹的诱惑、生命的欢乐和孩童般的天真都永存心间。你我心中，都有一台天线：只要你从天地间接收美好、希望、快乐、勇气和力量，你便会青春永驻。

一旦天线掉下来，这股精神就会被冰雪覆盖，变得玩世不恭。即便你芳龄二十，实则早已老去。然而，只要你竖起天线，接收乐观的信号，即使在八十岁时告别尘世，你仍会觉得年轻。

Chapter 1 From the Beginning of Youth
站在青春的起点

Leave the excess baggage of yesterday\'s mistakes and dare to enter into all the tomorrow．Leave yesterday to history and resolve to begin fresh each new day daring to make dreams become a reality.

放下昨日错误的重负，勇敢融入明日的生活。将昨日留给历史，满怀信心地迎接每个新日子的到来，努力将梦想变为现实。

The Beginning
起点

◎ Deng M．T.

In the beginning，all things are hopeful．We prepare ourselves to start a new．Though we may be intent on the magnificent journey ahead，all things are contained in the first moment：our optimism，our faith，our resolution，our innocence.

In order to start，we must make a decision．The decision is a commitment to daily self-cultivation．We must make a strong connection to our inner selves．Outside matters are superfluous．Alone and naked，we negotiate all of life\'s travails．Therefore，we alone must make something of ourselves，transforming ourselves into the instruments for experiencing the deepest spiritual essence of life.

Once we make our decision，all things will come to us．Auspicious signs are not a superstition，but a confirmation．They are a response．It is said that if one chooses to pray to a rock with enough devotion，even that rock will come alive．In the same way，once we choose to commit ourselves to spiritual practice，even the mountains and valleys will reverberate to the sound of our decision.

Youth
年轻人

◎Aristotle

To begin with the Youthful type of character．Young men have strong passions，and tend to gratify them indiscriminately．They are changeable and fickle in their desires，which are violent while they last，but quickly over：their impulses are keen but not deep-rooted，and are like sick people\'s attacks of hunger and thirst．They are hot-tempered，and quick-tempered，and apt to give way to their anger；bad temper often gets the better of them，for owing to their love of honour they cannot bear being slighted，and are indignant if they imagine themselves unfairly treated．While they love honour，they love victory still more；for youth is eager for superiority over others，and victory is one form of this．They love both more than they love money，which indeed they love very little，not having yet learnt what it means to be without it—this is the point of Pittancus，remark about Amphiaraus．They look at the good side rather than the bad，not having yet witnessed many instances of wickedness．They trust others readily，because they have not yet often been cheated.

They are sanguine；nature warms their blood as though with excess of wine；and besides that，they have as yet met with few disappointments．Their lives are mainly spent not in memory but in expectation；for expectation refers to the future，memory to the past，and youth has a long future before it and a short past behind it：on the first day of one\'s life one has nothing at all to remember，and can only look forward.

They are easily cheated，owing to the sanguine disposition just mentioned．Their hot tempers and hopeful dispositions make them more courageous than older men are；the hot temper prevents fear，and the hopeful disposition creates confidence；we cannot feel tear so long as we are feeling angry，and any expectation of good makes us confident.

They are shy，accepting the rules of society in which they have been trained，and not yet believing in any other standard of honor．They have exalted notions，because they have not yet been humbled by life o
