其中，第五句我很是欣赏。是美国著名作家马克吐温说的。我们并不需要太介意年龄的增大。如果不介意，那也不会成为一回事。主要还是看个人的心态问题。是的，或者我的青春离我已经越来越远，但没有后悔，虚度任何的光阴。现在的我，人生阅历也不断丰富着，这也是我的一笔宝贵的财富。

第七句，我也觉得异常的精彩：我宁愿贫穷，但可以住在一间满是书籍的小屋子里面，总好过是一个毫无阅读意欲的至高无上的国王。是的，贫穷和富裕，不能单纯以金钱来衡量。有人或者物质上很贫乏，但是精神财富却是非常富有。反之，有人很富有，但是内心空虚。

阅读是每个人的权利，每个人都可以通过阅读来增长知识，并以此来了解这个世界。有人即使生活条件多么恶劣，也会坚持阅读，从不放弃。有人即使家财万贯，也会虚度光阴，不会把书本放在手上，读上一两页。

当然，我们也没有权利去限制别人的喜好。唯一可以做到的，就是做好自己，并且能影响别人。让身边的人也能拥有积极上进的正面生活态度。在每一天中，也能活出精彩的自我。
