How does the writer like to treat young people?People are always talking about 'the problem of youth'. If there is one -- which I take leave to doubt -- then it is older people who create it, not the young themselves. Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the young are after all human beings -- people just like their elders. There is only one difference between an old man and a young one: the young man has a glorious future before him and the old one has a splendid future behind him: and maybe that is where the rub is.人们总是在谈论“青年问题”。

如果这个问题存在的话 -- 请允许我对此持怀疑态度 -- 那么，这个问题是由老年人而不是青年人造成的。

让我们来认真研究一些基本事实：承认青年人和他们的长辈一样也是人。

老年人和青年人只有一个区别：青年人有光辉灿烂的前景，而老年人的辉煌已成为过去。

问题的症结恐怕就在这里。

When I was a teenager, I felt that I was just young and uncertain -- that I was a new boy in a huge school, and I would have been very pleased to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem. For one thing, being a problem gives you a certain identity, and that is one of the things the young are busily engaged in seeking.我十几岁时，总感到自己年轻，有些事拿不准 -- 我是一所大学里的一名新生，如果我当时真的被看成像一个问题那样有趣，我会感到很得意的。

When I was a teenager, I felt that I was just young and uncertain --我十几岁时，总感到自己年轻，有些事拿不准。

新概念第四册第五课在我们日常的生活中，有些事情看似简单，但真要做起来，往往事与愿违。

比如，去一个陌生的地方，原本想的是“咱走一趟，肯定没问题”，结果却被各种小细节给坑了，出发之前，没看清楚路线，结果绕了个大圈；到了目的地，才发现原来搞错了地方；甚至连手机没带，钱包忘在家里了。

那时候你就会突然觉得，怎么一件小事也能把自己搞得这么狼狈，真的是“事倍功半”啊！还记得我有一次，朋友约我去参加一个聚会，之前明明说好是八点到。

结果我从家里出来就心安理得地说：“没关系，反正没什么事，路程不远，一会儿就到。

”于是，我一路上悠哉游哉，心想着八点到了就好了。

谁成想，到了地方，居然都快九点了！大家已经开始吃饭了。

朋友们看到我，一脸惊讶，“你咋这么晚？”我一脸无辜地说：“唉，我自己都不懂怎么搞的，早就出发了，路上堵车，等着我哪有这么容易？”其实心里明白，根本就是拖延症犯了。

当时我都想说：“这世界上，最难的事情就是守时！”因为这不仅仅是一个关于时间的问题，还是一个关于责任感和态度的问题。

你一旦失去对时间的控制，感觉整个人的节奏都乱了，事情也变得越来越不靠谱。

以前我总觉得，时间是一种可以随便浪费的资源，反正，生活还得继续，搞不好一会儿再重新开始就是了。

但直到有一天，我参加了一个很重要的面试，才猛然意识到，守时是一件多么重要的事情！面试那天，我比平时起得还要早，想着自己这次肯定要准备得很充足。

可惜，还是差点迟到了！因为路上堵车。

说来也怪，明明是平时从不堵的路段，今天偏偏卡了几百辆车，我一个人在车里，干着急，又无能为力，差点把车里的座椅都坐出个坑来。

眼看着时间一点点过去，心里简直是五味杂陈。

到达公司时，已经快晚了五分钟，虽然最终面试成功，但那一刻，我就觉得，什么叫“有备无患”，什么叫“人算不如天算”。

后来我开始意识到，守时不仅仅是关于不让别人等你那么简单，而是对自己的一种尊重。

你对时间的态度，也反映了你对生活的态度。

你按时到达，不仅能给别人留下好印象，自己也能感觉到一种踏实与安心。
