坚持
站桩三十八分钟，已经很满足了。凡事贵在坚持，虽说我一边熬夜在耗阳气，一边又通过站桩提升阳气，感觉做了像没做似的。但是不站的的话，就只有消耗了，站可以把消耗的补回来。我记得开始写帖子的时候，有一天我不知不觉地竟然在早上起床了，当时就哭得相当神奇。因为以往就算我晚上一点左右睡，睡好了，七八点醒了，也会一直赖床不动的，但那天没有任何计划和想法，我的身体带动我的思想起床了。靠的是什么，就是还不到一个月的站桩啊。不过当时的状态相对来说比较稳定，每天平均站一桩的时间至少可以达到四十五分钟及以上。这样的时间对于身体内部的修复是比较好的。像最近一个月，因为站桩群的老师把站桩的动作给加大了难度，所以我的站桩时间也就没法保证能过45了。最近更是因状态不佳时间就更短了，不过我还是挺感激我自己的。在这样的情况下，还可以坚持站桩，真的很了不起啊。你很棒，非常棒，做得很好！
附上一首我很喜欢的英语散文
YOUTH--- Samuel Ullman
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing child-like appetite of what's next, and the joy of the game of living. 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.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you've grown old, even at twenty, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at eighty.
青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的感情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。
无论年届花甲，抑或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。
一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。
