Photo by AVIT outh is an undying desire to take risks, an innocence, a confidence, and an idealism that believes all aspects of life are conquerable. It is an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and new experience. In itself, youth is not a physical age, but rather a mindset carried deep within that never stops searching for answers nor gives up hoping for ultimate success. It is an intense optimism that refuses to yield in even the most trying of situations, an optimism confi- dent in infinite possibilities, that seeks alter- nate paths around life's obstacles. Youth is full of imagination and new ideas. It is a love of all that life offers. To become complacent and satisfied with one's position and experience, to refrain from taking risk, and to lose the desire of seeking new challenge is to grow old. Age is a fear of not succeeding and a failure of con- fronting that which is not right by rationaliz- ing reality, tradition, or inability. It is a loss of eagerness to explore new horizons and an attitude which allows the limitless oppor- tunities and possibilities of life slip by. Youth seizes those opportunities, is con- fident they can be won, and lives each mo- ment for itself and for the future, for those moments will never present themselves again. - Adam Andrew Such Opening 5
