Youth
By Samuel Ullman
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks,
red kips 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 temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the
appetite, for adventure over 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 spirit 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
centre of your heart in my heart there is a wireless station; so long as it receives
messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from the men and from the
infinite so long are you young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snow 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 100.
