YOUTH Samuel Ullman 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, vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep spring 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 may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusia *** 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 for 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 cynici *** and the ice of pessimi *** , then you‘ve grown old, even at 20. But as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimi *** , there is hope you may die young at 80.

How I Learn English To a Chinese,the task of learning English well is not easy.So I,like many other English learners,have met with difficulties in learning English during the past seven years.But I managed to overe them and made much progress. The spelling and meaning of words can be said to be the first difficulty I met as a beginner.But I found my own way to deal with them.As to spelling,I never copied a new work again and again to remember it,but tried to find its relevance to the sound.【irrelevant adj.】 In fact,as long as I can read the word out,I can write it out.As to the meaning,I rarely recite its Chinese translation but often put the word into the sentence to learn its meaning.Moreover,if you use a word quite often,its spelling and meaning will be no problem.After all,we are learning English in order to use it. Grammar and idioms may be another difficulty.But I have also got over it.I have not read lots of grammar books.But I spent much time reading the articles written by native speakers or specialists in English.By doing so,I came to gain “a sense of English language”.I began to gain a feel for which sentences are “good English” and which are not. Finally,I want to say that overing all these difficulties requires perseverance.In the past seven years I spent at least an hour on English each day.I believe this is an important reason why I am able to make progress in learning English.

As your coach and friend, I can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand. You must do your part.

I want the future to be better than the past. I don’t want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the reminder of our lives.

The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will effect it.

Each day will brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our businesses, if we will only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.

英语励志小短文6：

Today i shed my old skin which hath, too long, suffered the bruises of failure and the wounds of mediority.

today i am born anew and my birthplace is a vineyard where there is fruit for all.

today i will pluck grapes of wisdom from the tallest and fullest vines in the vineyard,for these were planted by the wisest of my profession who have come before me,generation upon generation.

today i will savor the taste of grapes from these vines and verily i will swallow the seed of success buried in each and new life will sprout within me.

the career i have chosen is laden with opportunity yet it is fraught with heartbreak and despair and the bodies of those who have failed, were they piled one atop another, would cast a shadow down upon all the pyramids of the earth.

yet i will not fail, as the others, for in my hands i now hold the charts which will guide through perilous waters to shores which only yesterday seemed but a dream.

英语励志小短文7：

Failure no longer will be my payment for struggle. just as nature made no provision for my body to tolerate pain neither has it made any provision for my life to suffer failure. failure, like pain, is alien to my life. in the past i accepted it as i accepted pain. now i reject it and i am prepared for wisdom and principles which will guide me out of the shadows into the sunlight of wealth, position, and happiness far beyond my most extravagant dreams until even the golden apples in the garden of hesperides will seem no more than my just reward.

time teaches all things to him who lives forever but i have not the luxury of eternity. yet within my allotted time i must practice the art of patience for nature acts never in haste. to create the olive, king of all trees, a hundred years is required. an onion plant is old in nine weeks. i have lived as an onion plant. it has not pleased me. now i wouldst become the greatest of olive trees and, in truth, the greatest of salesman.

and how will this be accomplished? for i have neither the knowledge nor the experience to achieve the greatness and already i have stumbled in ignorance and fallen into pools of self-pity. the answer is simple. i will commence my journey unencumbered with either the weight of unnecessary knowledge or the handicap of meaningless experience. nature already has supplied me with knowledge and instinct far greater than any beast in the forest and the value of experience is overrated, usually by old men who nod wisely and speak stupidly.

in truth, experience teaches thoroughly yet her course of instruction devours men
