Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of will, a quality of the imagination. It is the freshness of deep spring of life. Youth of today are nation builders of tomorrow. To have better tomorrow, youth of today must be natured with love and affection, educated and molded to a person of good attitude, good characters and widened mentality. Youth of today must be taught how to provide service to humanity in the days to come. Youth are the people with enormous capabilities, strength and courage. Youth means a predominance of courage over timidity, a adventures over ease.This often exists in a man of 60 then more than a boy of 16. Nobody grows old merely by a numbers of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.Years my wrinkle our skin but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, fear, despair- these bows the heart and turn the spirit back to dust. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubts. As young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear. As young as your hope, as old as your despair. Yes you are young if you have hope, faith and confidence. Do you agree with me?Share what does youth means to you.

Yes more or less as what you say. I trying to say that it is not only age that makes you young. It is matter of your state of mind. I mean to say that having firm heart with true spirit is youth. Kind of encouragement to old people who think they are now old and can't do what they use to do when they were young.

Thanks and yes I believe in what I wrote. As of now I am young and I will try to be young even my skin wrinkles. Hope with my ideas of youth old people will become younger day by day with new hopes, better confidence and faith in themselves though it would sound funny for those who takes literal meaning only.

Tenrajj, You have very noble thoughts and most appropriate too. Youth is a phase of life with lots of energy. If this energy is focussed and concentrated properly, it has tremendous creative powers which has the potential to bring major change in everything the youth does. If the youth is bestowed with the right GURU or Teacher, then nobody can stop him excel.
