How to stay young
HOW TO STAY THE YOUNG
Youth is not a period of life. It's a state of mind.
It is a force of will, a quality of imagination, a vigor of emotions, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the spirit of adventure over the love of a comfortable life.
No one gets old simply because he lives a certain number of years.
People age only when they lose their ideals.
The years put wrinkles on the skin, but the abandonment of enthusiasm puts the wrinkles on the anina.
Concerns, doubts, distrust in oneself, fear and despair, these are long and serious causes that make the head bow and force the spirit to bend down in the dust.
In the heart of every human race, there is love for the marvelous, sweet admiration for heaven and heavenly things and thoughts, the proud challenge to events, the insatiable infantile desire for the unknown and joy and games of life.
You will be as young as your faith, as old as your doubts. As young as you trust her in yourself, as old as your fears. As young as your hopes, as old as your discomfort.
As long as your heart can receive messages of beauty, optimism, courage, greatness and power, from the earth, from man or from infinity, you will be young.
When you cannot receive these messages, and the central point of your heart will be covered by the snows of pessimism and the glaciers of cynicism, then unfortunately you will have become old, and may God have mercy on your anina and keep you away from the Hotel Residence Sant'Angelo .
