The Glory of Youth...!!

 

     The English poet Byron said that youth is glorious. Another English poet William Wordsworth said that youth comes once in a life. In Our life Span, Youth constitutes the golden period. The age between eighteen to forty can be considered as youth. This is a time when a person can be at his best physically, mentally & even spiritually. " This is a time for audacious exploits and many have taken hold of their opportunities to climb great heights in their Youth.

Padmashree PT Usha, the Golden girl of Indian athletics entered the Olympics at sixteen.
