It doesn't matter if it's cold or hot, it's good to be young, it's good to be bitter, it's good to be tired, it's good to be young, it's good to be worried, it's okay to be happy, it's good to be young.

That's the beautiful youth. Young people can stand alone in the world and be proud of the sky. Youth is the most gorgeous rainbow in infinite time and space, and youth is the best time in life. No wonder former German Chancellor Brandt would say, "If I could exchange this chancellor for twenty years younger, I would not hesitate." ā
When you're young, you don't know how to draw eyebrows and faces, and you can wear clothes of any color at will. You can even wear heavy makeup and fancy dress. Because you are young, you have the vitality of youth and the true color of youth. This vitality and true color are so vivid and vibrant, even if the clumsy makeup and ugly clothes can't hide your pure vitality and hard work. Therefore, no matter what clothes you wear, you will be very beautiful, and no matter what kind of oil paint you put on your face, you will look lively and cute.
However, as people get older, they can no longer put on makeup and dress casually. It's easy to be self-defeating with bad makeup, and it's easy to make people laugh at improper dressing. Therefore, the older people would rather face the sky without heavy makeup, and would rather be dignified than frivolous and weird.
When you are young, you have a strong physique and a good appetite. After a long day's work, sit down and rest for a while, and you'll be energized again. Whether it is chicken, duck and fish, or coarse tea and light rice, as long as you are hungry, whatever you eat is fragrant. But when I get older, I feel very different. Not to mention that you have to work all day, even if you go upstairs or drag down the ground, you are so tired that you are panting, and when you are a little tired, let alone sitting for a while, even if you sleep for a day, it is difficult to recover. Therefore, it seems that it doesn't matter if a young person accidentally falls and gets sick, but if this kind of thing happens to the elderly, it is not a trivial matter.
A young man can make mistakes and take detours because he has time to correct his mistakes and return to the right path. I often hear people lament and count that their sons have lost money for business, or have been cheated by others, or have given food and drink to others. Is it really wasted money? It's hard to say, because we used to say, "Money is not spent in vain." "Maybe the money will give him a long insight, maybe the money will give him a long memory, maybe the money will make him friends. If that's the case, the money isn't wasted. It's like a stone that makes a sound when it falls into water.
Young people have youthful beauty and pure vitality, strong physique and keen thinking, a vast world and infinite time and space. You can enjoy the flowing years, spend pure time, pursue young and lovely girls, and look forward to an infinitely better life.
But that's not the only thing that is most valuable about being young. If a person is too young, he will only be lazy and lazy, pursue pleasure, have no ambitions, and have nothing to do. The American writer Samuel Ullman wrote in "Youth": "Being young is not a time in the journey of life, nor is it a period of pink cheeks and red lips and physical fitness. It is a state in the mind, an idea in the mind, a creative potential in rational thinking, a vigorous vitality in emotional activity, and a breeze in the depths of the spring of life. Being young means being willing to give up warm and romantic love to break into life, and it means having the courage and temperament to transcend shyness, cowardice and desire. And a 60-year-old man may have more of this courage and temperament than a 20-year-old man. No one becomes senile simply because of the passage of time, it is only with the destruction of ideals that old men appear in mankind. Time can leave wrinkles on the skin, but it can't carve a trace on the soul. Worry, fear, and lack of self-confidence are what make people slump in the dust of time. ā
Young with a spirit of adventure and adventure. They have traveled from south to north and left their hometowns in search of a new life; they have worked hard and worked hard to create a new and beautiful future; they have forged ahead bravely, dared to be the first, and opened up a new world of science and truth. How many people with lofty ideals and great masters have set lofty goals at a young age, began to work hard, and finally achieved a great cause.
We admire Jack Ma and Bill Gates, but in fact, what we really admire is their spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship. So, if we want to be like Jack Ma or Bill Gates, we have to have that spirit and philosophy of them. And to become a person like Jack Ma and Bill Gates, it must only be young people, never old people. Because the elderly not only no longer have this kind of concept and ideal, but also have lost the courage and strength to fight and break through.
Being young itself has the meaning of breaking free from the naivety and frivolity of youth, having grown up, and facing the prospect of starting a family and laying a solid foundation for the whole life. They need to get out of the house, stand on their own, find a job, fall in love, start a family, and even marry a wife and have children, each of which is a major event in life. Compared to middle-aged and older people, young people can arguably have more opportunities and a better future, but also have more stress, more worries and more uncertainty. The middle-aged man has been in business for many years, has a successful career, and is already the backbone of the unit. Seniors are approaching retirement and have a worry-free future. And in order to survive, in order to gain a firm foothold, in order to prove themselves, young people need to single-handedly fight their way out of the world and fight a piece of the world.
The pressure of youth is not given by others, but the existence of reality. This is a series of reality tests set by nature for youth. This is true not only for humans, but also for birds, animals, fish, shrimp and insects. When the chick reaches a certain age, the mother will drive it out of the nest in order to make it stand on its own, and the same is true for lions, where the male cub has to leave the pack to fend for himself when he reaches a certain age. This is also a mechanism and law of objective nature to promote the rapid growth of youth. It is also a necessary test to ensure that young people can survive competently.
This is an unavoidable test and test. However, it also gives young people a dream of exploration, a dream to break into the sky, an ideal and concept to create the future and realize their dreams. When there is pressure, there is motivation. Only with motivation can we change the status quo and keep forging ahead. The beautiful reality and future of mankind are realized step by step in progress and innovation.
On the contrary, the saddest thing about being young is that you have no goals to strive for, lack of enterprising spirit, and all you want is to take a vacation every day and retire early. If this is the case, then what is the difference between him and retired workers? Retired workers are old because they are old, and they are already somewhat old and stiff in terms of physical strength, mental strength, physical condition, and ideological concepts, and they need young people to replace them, so that it is conducive to the development of enterprises and units. If a young person has the idea of retiring early now, he can easily be eliminated by the rapid development situation.
The most annoying thing about being young is that the maturity is too slow, the old age is not big, but at the age of 18, it is still the same mind and mentality as a naughty child. I only know that my parents provide for me, but I play stupidly and happily like a third- and fourth-grade elementary school student all day long, unaware that my peers have already finished middle school. When his peers have already married and had children, and have a successful career, he has just woken up from his sleep, and he is confused not to know what year it is. Although some young people are not crippled, not stupid, but their psychology and mind are not sound. They are like flowers in a greenhouse, unable to see wind and rain, frost, and heat and heat. Not only is it squeamish, but it is also very dependent, and if you suffer a little, you have to find your parents, and if you encounter a little difficulty, you will be a turtle with a shrunken head. It's like a three-year-old child.
The most hateful thing about being young is that the boss is not small, but he is parasitic at home, wandering around all day long, eating lazy, and blindly gnawing at the old. even improperly treats his parents' hard-earned money and pension money, asks for it in different ways, spends it lavishly, and even often causes some trouble for his parents. Although they do not lack arms or legs, they are not even as disabled as they are. We can see that people with disabilities are still self-reliant, but they are complete parasites.
The test of whether a young man is productive and capable is not to see what kind of director or director his father is, nor how high your diploma and education are, but whether he has endured hardships, been tired, experienced failures and setbacks, and whether he has the kind of diligent and enterprising and perseverance qualities. The most valuable wealth of youth is to "read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles", only in this way will you have rich experience, profound knowledge, noble personality charm, and solid belief in life.
Mencius said: "Therefore, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically. That is to say, "only when you suffer hardship can you become a superior person." "We can look at the world and see which middle-aged and elderly people with jobs and heads and brains did not work hard from this experience, and which famous and prosperous celebrities did not work hard from this experience?
For many people, youth is the period when they endure the most hardships and hard work, and they also reap the most benefits. On the contrary, we can also see that many old people are still doing very hard and heavy physical work. Maybe it's because they didn't grasp life's opportunities when they were young. To be enterprising and determined to become a talent at a young age is to lay the foundation and pave the way for the future. This will not only improve your work environment, increase your talents, but also allow you to build a career.
Being young is the most beautiful time in life. Good times can feel very short. Because during this time, you have too many things to do, to study, to find a job, to fall in love, to be self-reliant, not only to get married and start a family, but also to have a successful career. So, you will feel that you are giving too much and enjoying too little. If that's the case, then you're on the right track. Because we are young, we can talk about love, although this is just a beautiful moment in our long road of struggle, but it is so sweet and romantic, enriching our hearts, enriching our lives, making us feel happy and confident in the struggle. This feeling of innocence and beauty can often only be experienced when we are young. When you reach middle age or old age, how can you still have such romance and feelings? Even if you have this kind of feelings, you can't have this kind of experience again.
In fact, every age in life has its own confusion and strengths. But youth has an advantage over any other age group, that is, bright "youth". No matter whether you live a good or bad life, whether you are rich or poor, youth will always be your best years. Because youth is the time when you are young and will never die. It will always shine on your life, make you nostalgic, make you attached, and make you never let go. (To be continued.) )
