You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh That you can get what you want or you can just get old You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about? Allow your mind and spirit to be energized with the affirmation each day that "No matter what you do, be good at it, and whenever you get there, you get there.But then if you're so smart, well, tell me Invest time into the process while enjoying the journey. While it is easy to become distracted with the glitz and glamour culture of instant gratification, understand Vienna waits for you. When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are 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.” 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. Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing child-like appetite of what’s next, and the joy of the game of living. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease. “ 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. One of General Douglas MacArthur and Coach Bill Parcells favorite poems, Youth hung in both of their offices.

Samuel Ullman was an American businessman, poet, humanitarian, and religious leader. If we "stack" good days together and take our time to prepare for our moment, we have an entire life to make a difference. To keep growing and, most of all, never to set a time limit on our achievements. Vienna is a message to all of us to slow down. No matter what you do, be good at it, and whenever you get there, you get there." Well, wait a minute, why do I have this whole lifespan? What's the point of it? Some people will get there sooner, and some people will get there later. We tend to put older people away, and it's all about young people. The lyrics, 'slow down you crazy child' - in other words, you have a whole life. I lot of people in their 20s think they have to get it all together by their 30s, and they kill themselves trying to get the golden ring. He called it "a Promethean moment." Describing his message in the song, he explained: "It was an observation that you have your whole life to live. When Billy Joel appeared on The Howard Stern Show, he said that the song Vienna came to him very quickly. He would go on to write a song titled Vienna. In reflecting after witnessing this experience in Australia, an idea popped into his head as he sat down at his piano. She has great dignity." At that moment, Billy Joel realized American culture tends to cast aside the elderly, ultimately stripping them of their purpose, worth, and honor. She is not sitting at home, wasting away. She is being useful and doing a service that benefits everyone. To which, his father replied, "No, it is not. Joel told his father how awful for this older woman to be doing this type of work. When Billy Joel, the American singer-songwriter, was visiting his estranged father in Vienna, Austria, they were sitting on the sidewalk at a coffee house when Joel suddenly noticed an older woman sweeping the streets.
