青春英语演讲稿

　　Ladies and Gentlemen ， Good afternoon！ Im very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”。 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： 1、 Do you know what is youth？ 2、 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 –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust 。

　　Whether 60 of 16 ， there is in every human being s heart the lure of wonders， the unfailing childlike appetite of whats next and the joy of the game of living 。 In the center of your heart and my heart theres 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 snnows 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. Thats all ！ Thank you！
