青春不是年华,而是心态;青春不是粉面、红唇、柔膝,而是坚强的意志,恢弘的想象,炙热的恋情;青春是生命深处的自在涌流。
青春气贯长虹,勇锐盖过怯弱,迸取压倒苟安。如此锐气,二十后生而有之,六旬男子则更多见,年岁有加,并非垂老,理想丢弃,方是暮年、
岁月悠悠,衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却,颓废必致灵魂、忧虑、惶恐、丧失自信,定使灵魂扭曲,意气如灰。
无论年届花甲,抑或芳龄,心中皆有生命之欢乐,好奇之冲动,孩童般天真久盛不衰。
你我心中都有一架天线,只要你从天上、人间接受美好,希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号,你就会青春永驻,风华常存。
一旦天线坠下,锐气便被冰雪覆盖,玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生,即使年方二十,实则垂垂老矣;然而只要竖起天线,捕捉乐观信号,即使八十高龄,行将告别尘寰,你也会觉得年轻依旧,希望永存。
