嘿嘿，我来了。
今天周五，下班后回家了，吃完饭忙完，再洗漱完都接近10点了，差点就不想画画了，但一想前几天都没有怎么画，不能再偷懒了，然后就决定不论如何今天要坚持画下去。
可是，画什么呢? 有点纠结。
然后想到最近加入了萌薇老师的简笔画群，平时经常看到大家分享的一些创意简笔画，还不错，就打算今晚临摹一幅，但翻了翻还是不知道要临摹哪一幅，感觉都不太符合今天的心境。
因为今天是五四青年节!
我总觉得今天我应该做点什么，留下点什么，所以，灵光一闪，想到了“为青春干杯”’这几个字，那何不画一幅干杯的图片呢?但如果光画酒杯的话，太单调了，就想起来，萌薇老师的创意简笔画经常会给物品画上表情，那我也就学着来，最后就有了今天的这幅画，感觉自己棒棒哒呢。
Cheers to youth
说到今天的五四青年节，我想重温一篇文章，它是我在新东方生而为赢这本英文经典背诵小册子里背诵的第一篇文章，一直以来对我起到了很大的鼓励作用，也分享给你们，愿你也可以从中汲取力量。
YOUTH
——Samuel Ullman
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 the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, selfdistrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.
When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.
青春
塞缪尔·乌尔曼
青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。
无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。
一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。
五四青年节，奋斗正当时!
其实，每一天都应该是青年节，愿我们永远乐观、积极、奋斗、进取，不负青春，不负梦!
