Ladies and Gentlemen , Good afternoon! I?mvery glad to stand here and gi英语语法ve you a shortspeech today my topic is“youth” I hope you will likeit , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherishit

　　First I want to ask you some questions: 1、 Do you know what isyouth? 2、 How do you master your youth?

　　Youth

　　Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind it is notrosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of theemotions : it is the freshness it is the freshness of the deepsprings of life

　　Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage overtimidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of easeThis often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20  Nobodygrows old merely by a number of years  We grow old by desertingour ideals

　　Years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles thesoul  Worry , fear , self –distrust bows theheart and turns the spirit back to dust

　　Whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being?s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailingchildlike appetite of what?s next and the joy ofthe game of living  In the center of your heart and my heartthere?s a wireless station : so long as itreceives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power frommen and from the infinite, so long as you are young

　　When the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered withsnows 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 wes ofoptimism , there is hope you may die young at 80That?s all ! Thank you!
