阅读下面的议论文,回答问题。

论青年与老年

  一个年岁甚轻的人也可以是富于经验的人,假如他不曾虚度他的生活;然而这毕竞是罕有的事。

  一般说来,青年人富于“直觉”,而老年人则长于“深思”。这两者在深刻和正确性上是有显著差别的。现实也并非完全如此。

  青年的特点是富有创造性的想象和发明力,这似乎是得之于神助的。然而,热情炽烈而情绪太敏感的人往往要在中年以后方能成事,恺撒和塞普提摩斯就是例证。曾有人评论后者说:他曾度过一荒谬的——甚至是疯狂的青春。然而他毕竞成为罗马皇帝中极能干的一位。具有沉稳性格的人则在青春时代就可成大器,奥古斯都大帝、卡斯顿勋爵即是如此。另一方面,对于老人来说,富于热情和活力也是难能可贵的。

  青年长于创造而短于思考,长于猛干而短于讨论,长于革新而短于持重。老年人的经验,引导他们熟悉旧事物,却蒙蔽他们无视新情况。青年人易有所发现,但行事轻率却可能毁坏大局。

  青年人的性格如同一匹不羁的野马,藐视既往,目空一切,好走极端。勇于革新而不去估量实际的条件和可能性,结果常因浮躁而改革不成却招致更大的祸患。老年人则正相反。他们常常满足于困守已成之局,思考多于行动,讨论多于果断。为了事后不后悔,宁肯事前不冒险。

  最好的办法是把青年的特点与老年的特点在事业上结合在一起。从现在的角度说,他们的所长可以互补他们各自的所短。从发展的角度说,青年可以从老年身上学到他们所不具有的优点。而从社会影响的角度说,有经验的老人执事令人放心,而青年人的干劲则鼓舞人心。如果说,老人的经验是可贵的,那么青年人的纯真则是崇高的。
