话说唐朝诗人李颀，年轻时怀才不遇，壮志未酬，四十岁才考中进士，做了新乡县令。后来因不满官场黑暗，便辞官归隐，潜心创作诗歌。他的朋友魏万去长安应试，李颀写下著名的《送魏万之京》诗，其中有句：“莫见长安行乐处，空掷岁月易蹉跎。”这句诗劝诫魏万不要沉迷于长安的繁华享乐，以免虚度光阴，浪费大好青春。这便是“蹉跎岁月”一词的由来，李颀自己的前半生，也可谓是“蹉跎岁月”的真实写照。他虽然才华横溢，却因为时局动荡，错过了很多机会，直到年近不惑才有所成就。但李颀也并非一味消极，他珍惜时间，潜心创作，留下了许多千古流传的佳作，为后人留下了宝贵的精神财富。他的故事告诉我们，即使经历了“蹉跎岁月”，也不要失去对未来的希望，只要珍惜当下，努力奋斗，就能创造美好的未来。
