       Whether   sixty    or    sixteen,there  is   in   every    human   being's   heart   the   lure   of   wonders,the   unfalling    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.

       An    individual   human   existence    should   be   like    a    river-small   at   first,narrowly    contained    within    its    banks,and    rushing    passionately     past   boulders   and    over    waterfalls.Gradually    the    river    grows    wider,the    banks   recede,the    waters    flow    more    quietly,and    in    the    end  ,without    any    visible    break  ,they    become    merged     in     the    sea,and    painlessly    lose     their    individual   being.

     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    sixty    more   than    a     boy    of     twenty.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    spirit   back    to    dust.

2008年12月9日 上午3點48分04秒The Joy of Living

Joy in living comes from having fine emotions,trusting them,giving them the freedom of a bird in the open.Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose,or put on from the outside a mask.People who have this joy don't need to talk about it,they radiate.They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight into other lives as nature as a bird sings.

We can never get it from working for it directly.It comes,like happiness,to those who are aiming at something higher.It's a byproduct of great,simpile living.The joy of living comes from what we put into ...
