1. Youth -- Samuel Vllman

作者塞缪尔年逾70才开始写作，笔力练达老成，这篇《青春》一经发表便不胫而走，影响了非常多人，文章非常经典，建议珍藏背诵。

"Whether they are sixteen or seventy,there is in every being's heart the love of wonder, the sweet amazement at the stars and starlike things and thoughts,the undaunted challenge of events,the unfailing childlike appetite for what is to come next, and the joy and the game of life."

2. Happiness Is a Journey -- Crystal Boyd

我非常喜欢的一篇文章，文章简洁有力，朗朗上口，推荐每个人都去读一读，对于提高英语口语有很大的帮助。

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we’re frustrated that the kids aren’t old enough and we’ll be more content when they are. After that, we’re frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We’ll certainly be happy when they’re out of that stage.

We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire.

The truth is, there’s no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when?

Your life will always be filled with challenges. It’s best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.
