LIFE
Hang On to Your Youthful Enthusiasms
“Hang On to Your Youthful Enthusiasms — You’ll Be Able to Use Them Better When You’re Older” (Seneca)
Life encompasses everything
childhood
youth
a time as a young adult
a time when you as an adult
stand in the middle of the storm
a time when you are a mature adult
and a time when you begin to understand many things
.
Think about this
when you talk
to the young
for we have ourselves
been young
and we shall not
deny or forget
what we learned then
.
The youth’s insights
is wisdom
that we as adults
all too often deny
We are not indulgent
we often misunderstand
the enthusiasm and impatience
of the young
