青春 （麥克阿瑟之座右銘）

太平洋戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)打得正酣之時(shí)艰亮，麥克阿瑟將軍常常從繁忙中抬起頭，注視著掛在墻上的鏡框离钝，鏡框里是篇文章，名為《青春》褪储。這篇文章一直伴隨著他卵渴，也跟著他到了日本。后來(lái)鲤竹，日本人在東京的美軍總部發(fā)現(xiàn)了它浪读，《青春》便開(kāi)始在日本流傳。一位資深的日本問(wèn)題觀察家說(shuō)辛藻，在日本實(shí)業(yè)界碘橘，只要有成就者，沒(méi)有哪一個(gè)不熟知不應(yīng)用這篇美文的吱肌，就連松下電器的創(chuàng)始人松下幸之助幾十年來(lái)也把《青春》當(dāng)作他的座右銘痘拆。

還有這么一件趣事，足以證明《青春》在日本的魅力氮墨。一天纺蛆，美國(guó)影片銷售協(xié)會(huì)主席羅森菲爾德參加日本實(shí)業(yè)界的聚會(huì)，晚宴之前的談話规揪，他隨意說(shuō)了一句：“《青春》的作者桥氏，便是我的祖父∶颓Γ”在座的各位實(shí)業(yè)界領(lǐng)袖大為驚訝字支，其中有一位一邊激動(dòng)地說(shuō)“我一直隨身帶著它呢”，一邊從口袋里掏出了《青春》奸忽。

《青春》是怎樣的一篇文章堕伪，它怎就這么神奇？

Youth

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

青春不是年華月杉，而是心境刃跛；青春不是桃面、丹唇苛萎、柔膝桨昙，而是深沉意志，恢宏想象腌歉，炙熱戀情蛙酪；青春是生命深泉在涌流。

青春氣貫長(zhǎng)虹翘盖，勇銳蓋過(guò)怯弱桂塞，進(jìn)取壓倒茍安。如此銳氣馍驯，二十后生而有之阁危，六旬男子則更多見(jiàn)玛痊。年歲有加，并非垂老狂打，理想丟棄擂煞，方墮暮年。

歲月悠悠趴乡，衰微只及肌膚对省；熱忱拋卻，頹廢必致靈魂晾捏。憂煩蒿涎，惶恐，喪失自信惦辛，定使心靈扭曲劳秋，意氣如灰。

無(wú)論年屆花甲裙品，擬或二八芳齡俗批，心中皆有生命之歡樂(lè)，奇跡之誘惑市怎，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一臺(tái)天線辛慰，只要你從天上人間接受美好、希望帅腌、歡樂(lè)、勇氣和力量信號(hào)速客，你就青春永駐，風(fēng)華常存溺职。

一旦天線下降岔擂，銳氣便被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭浪耘、自暴自棄油然而生乱灵，即使年方二十七冲，實(shí)已垂垂老矣；然則只要樹(shù)起天線澜躺，捕捉樂(lè)觀信號(hào)蝉稳，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時(shí)仍覺(jué)年輕抒蚜。
