In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.

– Samuel Ullman (American businessman, poet,

humanitarian, 1840 – 1924 )

无论是60岁还是16岁，你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心、永不熄灭的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事业成功的欢乐与热情。在你我的心底，有一座无线电台，它能在多长时间里接收到人间万物传递来的美好、希望、欢乐、鼓舞和力量的信息，你就会年轻多长时间。

In my ignorance (无知) I had always thought that “fresh air” was infinitely available to us. I had imagined that the dirty air around us somehow escaped into the stratosphere (平流层), and that new air kept coming in – much as it does when we open a window after a party … What is true is that we live in a kind of spaceship called the earth, and only a limited amount of air is forever available to us.

– Sydney Harris (American journalist, 1917–1986)

我曾无知地以为，大家可以无限地享用“新鲜空气”。我想像，周围污浊的空气不知怎么就渗进平流层，而新鲜的空气源源而来——颇像聚会结束我们打开窗户时发生的一样……实际情况则是我们生活在一种叫作地球的宇宙飞船中，大家所能永远享用的只有数量有限的空气而已。
