Youth（原創）
[ 2007-05-10 10:47 ]
 “Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.” Youth is the flower of one’s life.
Then, how to spend the most precious time? Hurry to all kinds of enjoyments? Get
involved in romantic experiments? Or just idle away all these days? No, youth
should mean striving, to take your responsibility and fight for the future.
Youth means seizing the day. The flower of youth that smiles today
tomorrow will be dying. The famous sculptor Rodin ever said: “true youth, pure
youthfulness with fresh blood, inviolable youth, with graceful carriage, lasts
for only a few months.” Maybe it’s slightly overstated, yet youth indeed passes
away quickly. It is not like a new garment, which we can keep fresh and fair by
wearing sparingly; instead we must wear it daily while we have it, to make much
of it. Carving a Chinese character “zao” into his desk, Lunxun became a great
writer; however, stopping study to show off his talents, Fang Zhongyong—the ever
prodigy child became a plain one. Now, we can see that, youth time is important
and to waste it is to waste your life. Please don’t let it “go with the
wind”!
Youth means studying continuously. With fresh mind and energetic
body, teenager is the morning sun and youth is the golden time for learning.
According to a survey done in Michigan University, a teenager on average in 47.2
percent more quick to learn and absorb a new thing. More importantly, what he
learns will have a profound influence all through his life. Now that, why not
study as much as we can in a period of such great efficiency? Just like a
squirrel collecting chestnuts for the cold winter, we have to accumulate as much
knowledge for the approaching fierce competition.
“Once you lose your
prime, you may forever tarry.” So keep yourself occupied when the flower is
still in your hand. Then you can enjoy the sweet fruit. Otherwise it will melt
into the dust. Take actions now, to cherish, to learn, and to strive!
