청춘

Youth is a state of mind, not a period of life
but a state of mind.
Not rosy cheeks, red lips, and soft knees.
but a rich imagination, a vigorous sensibility and willpower
and a freshness that springs from the deep springs of life.

Youth is the courage to defeat fear,
and a sense of adventure that banish complacency,
and mental excellence.
Sometimes a septuagenarian may be more youthful than a young man of twenty.
No one grows old by the years.
but when we lose our ideals.

Time increases the wrinkles on the skin
but it cannot wither the heart of passion.
Worries, fears, and loss of self-confidence
Kills our spirits and withers our hearts.
As long as you are young
Whether you're sixteen or sixty, you have in your heart
a longing for wonder, a childlike sense of inquiry.
and a desire to find joy in life,

In your heart, and in mine, there is an antenna of the heart.
Beauty and hope from people and God,
joy, courage, and strength.
I can be a youth forever.

When inspiration ceases
and the spirit is covered with the snow of cynicism
and the ice of heartbreak.
You become an old man, even if you are twenty.
But as long as you hold your head high and catch the wave of hope,
You are always a green youth, even if you are eighty.
