Dear Taichung Happiers,
When a two-year-old baby passes you a toy phone……., answer it, please!
Is ice cream physically or psychologically addictive? How about staying young? Greek philosopher and scientist Aristotle (384–322 BC) grasped the glamour of youth. “Young people are in a condition like permanent intoxication, because life is sweet and they are growing.” What does our host Kelvin feel while being so frequently mistaken for his daughter’s boyfriend? The great times he joined us all the way from Taipei features a prominent framed picture of his Fountain of Youth made of enthusiasm. Ladies and gentlemen, before scientists studying Kelvin’s secret to staying young, hurry up and come interview him about his tips.
What do we talk about when we talk about youth? What is your best birthday memory? Remember to forget about consulting dictionaries for the definition of youth—just listen to poet and humanitarian Samuel Ullman (April 13, 1840 – March 21, 1924), whose poem Youth was a favorite of General Douglas MacArthur. “Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter a ripe rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a temper of will, a quality of imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.” The legendary life of 97-year-old yoga master Tao Porchon-Lynch is a tremendous testimony to this timeless insight. Having been an activist, competitive ballroom dancer, and award-winning author, she admonishes people to stop talking about getting old and accredits the power of smile for opening up all doors in the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTmaTD5H0iMFrom "Youth" (by C. B. LANGSTON)
Oh happy youth! life's oasis of beauty!
What time in after years so pure and sweet?
Free from the lab'ring progress of great manhood,
It treads life's pathway with elastic feet!
O: “What did the meditation instructor say to his students?” ????? A: "You have the right to remain silent." All right. Now, seriously, are you stressed out? http://www.bbc.com/news/health-24756311 Research results have revealed that stress can speed up the aging of individual immune system cells. https://consumer.healthday.com/encyclopedia/aging-1/age-health-news-7/aging-and-stress-645997.html Mmm.....is stress affecting the aging process of your body, or also your spirit? Either way, the only solution is to learn more from kids. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SKFb2kSfnoYou can have Peter Pan’s wings and still never give up growing up; because of Library, Role Model, and Film, you grow your heart with the hidden beauty of your mind. What have you daydreamed in the Library? The bittersweet life of a teenager is the most beautiful yet hardest to explain—that is s why the documentary film Brothers makes your heart tango. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG3dyb3eAaw Moreover, we need positive role models for the youth--especially those who have no chances--to contemplate the choices. While watching this film The Fencer, how firmly I felt the “ambivalence” again toward growing up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShMAkhyC6bYEither you pray for growing up faster or staying young forever, remember why you love reading. The genie in front of author and consultant Idowu Koyenikan is whispering ~ ~~ “Show me the heroes that the youth of your country look up to, and I will tell you the future of your country” So, do you support a book superhero? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5QwkSVfZgs&app=desktop Grow your heart and learn to fly—who can be a superhero but you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VooJP3pWv54&app=desktop Join us! Thanks!!! With Gratitude,
Jasmine
