We, leaving ignorance ushered in our youth. Youth, let us unbridled,relaxed, appreciate the wind that freedom, feel the cloud that comfortable,because youth gives us the peak of life, we do not need to mature, we are nolonger ignorant, we only persistent. Positive energy in youth. Strong energyhelps me to support a firm belief, so that I am full of confidence in achallenging tomorrow.
Life is the pursuit of ideal, ideal is the indicator of life, lost the roleof the lamp, will lose the courage of life. Therefore, only by adhering to thelofty ideals of life, will not be lost in the sea of life. Tolstoy will be theideal of life is divided into a lifetime of ideal, the ideal of a stage, theideal of a year, the ideal of a month, even the ideal of a day, an hour, aminute. When you hear this, students, do you think of your ideal?
Whose youth is not sad? Whose youth never want to give up? Who's youthwithout setbacks and difficulties? But, I no longer fear, I know there will be akind of positive energy in my side, like hot sunshine warm my heart, take me toa better tomorrow. And I, will also become the positive energy of others, do mybest to encourage and warm like I once helpless people.
The flower season of life is the spring of life, it is beautiful, butshort. As a college student should be in this period, study hard, work hard,find a piece of their own sky. Youth is the hope of the motherland, the futureof the nation. Everyone governs his own tomorrow.
One philosopher said, " the dream has gone many ways, wake up or in bed. "it vividly tells us a truth: people can't lie in the dream of ideal life. Yes,people not only want to have an ideal, but also bold fantasy, but also want towork hard to do, lying in the ideal waiting for a new start, if not only in thedistant future, even have will lose. Students, are you also wandering in thedream of ideal?
Predecessors said well, " aspiring people set long ambition, no ambitionpeople often aspire to", those who have no ambition " ambition", is a dream, isthe so-called " ideal", they put their blueprint structure painted againbeautiful, perfect, also is just a castle in the air, mirage. Students, are youa man of long ambition, or often determined? In the green years, whenever I amsad and confused, wandering helpless, there are always some people or things toencourage me, sending out a positive light warm me.
Be a person with positive energy, let oneself have the power to moveforward. Positive energy is a powerful energy, it is bound to include a positivedriving force, only in this way can make your studies, career, quality of life,etc. progress. No power is a terrible thing, just like a car without gasoline,rockets without fuel, plants no longer absorb sunlight, you will only chaos toevery day, do the same thing, to this point naturally do what to do, there is nobig goal and ideal. Isn't this terrible enough? Are you willing to silence likea pool of stagnant water standing still, also don't want to more power to meetthe daily sun add energy? Of course not. when you have positive energy, you willnaturally take your steps and be motivated to move to a new starting point.
Youth needs positive energy, positive energy will insert wings for us tofly to the vast blue sky! Finally, I want to use Liang Qichao's words to endtoday's speech: " young wisdom is the wisdom of the country, the rich is therich, young strong is strong, young progress is the progress of the country,young male in the earth, the male in the earth. " let's sprinkle sweat all theway, drink all the way dusty, chew a hard, let youth continue to burn under thered flag; May every young man embrace his ideals and March on the voyage oflife.

Good morning teachers and fellow students:
Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . Nobody grows old merely by a number of years . We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . Worry , fear , self distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .
Whether 60 of 26 , there is in every human being ?s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what?s next and the joy of the game of living . In the center of your heart and my heart there?s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
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 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.
Thank you!
Last night, I watched a tennis game, it was the US open, because there wasa Chinese female player came to the semi-final, so I stayed up to watched thegame. Unluckily, she was injured twice, though she still wanted to finish thegame, her body situation did not allow her to do so. Her insistence moved somany audience, they gave her the biggest applause.
The power of insistence is great, it will help you set free your potentialand keep move on. Just for the players, they will face all kinds of incidencesnow and then, but the will to insist will make them finish the game. Sometimes,people win the game not because of their excellent skills, but their strongwill. Those who can stick on to the final line will win people’s applause.
What’s more, when people insist to finish the game, it is the respect thatthey show to their opponents. Their spirit deserves people’s applause.Insistence is a merit, we should keep it, no matter what we do, we must rememberto insist.
Good morning! Ladies and Gentlemen,Today, Im so glad to come here. Its my honor to give the speech. Im He Tingting, coming from ABa Tibet and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture. As a Qiang girl. I welcome you to our hometown. Now Ill talk about my dream.
My hometown is a remote, lonely village, with verdant mountains and clean streams, full of fresh air… The sur-roundings is quiet and graceful. What a wonderful sight!But Im sorry to say its so poor, so backward. One day in a late autumn, my parents and I went back there together, in order to call on my grandfather being ill. Getting off the bus, slowly we walked hard towards my hometown along a narrow winding path. Suddenly, the hap-py laughter of children interested me. I looked around, and caught sight of some children playing, aged 8-9. It seemed they were free from care. I went up to them, and
asked, " Why arent you at school now? Are you on leave?" One boy stood up and said sadly, " We dont have any teachers, No teachers teach us. Two years ago, we had a teacher from a city. But only two weeks later he went away. From then on, no teacher comes here any more. Also we have no school to attend here."
"Why dont you go to the city to study?" I asked. "My parents are both farmers, we havent enough money." He stopped for a moment, and then continued, "We really hope for school." After hearing that, I couldnt say a word with a heavy heart.
Later, I thought it over for a long time. Thats the childrens fault? No. Thats their parents fault with no money? No. But I don’t really understand why.
If they could be at school like me. How wonderful it is. However, in fact they couldn’t be. What can I do for them?
Facing the children unable to go to school;
Facing the poverty of minority nationality regions;
Facing all these facts， suddenly, a bright idea struck me. From that moment, I have a dream, a splendid dream!
I dream, one day, I will be able to be a teacher and return to my hometown. Ill try my best to let the children in-to the school, into the classroom. Ill teach them to read and teach them to write,with my patience, with my love, hon-estly. Ill turn them into the persons with a lot of knowledge.
I dream, one day, I can set up a school for children by myself;let these children enter the school. Of cause Ill hope to set up schools as many as I can, to let all the children enter the school.
Also, I dream, one day, the students I teach will graduate from universities and take heavy responsibilities of building our hometown, building our motherland.
I dream, one day, all these will come true. And my hometown will become richer and richer, more and more beautiful.
Thats my dream. Iu return to my mother school with my faith. Having this belief, Iu value the time, every hour, every minute,every second. Ill study each lesson well, and lay the foundation,in order to realize the hope of childrens attending school, seeking for knowledge.
Having this belief, Iu break up a new path to achieve the goal.
Having this belief, Il1 have enough courage to change all the bad situation.
I believe that my dream will turn into reality.
As you all know, some years ago, we had a Hope Project, a lot of children have already returned to the school grounds.
We all know, our government decides to develop the western area.
Our ent decides to develop areas in-habited by the minority nationalities. Especially, Our government decides to develop the education.
And I know, a lot of people in and out of our prefecture are working hard at it. Everyone is trying to contrib
My dream
Students, guests , teachers and Honorable Judges.
Good morning !
my great pleasure to share my dream with you today. my dream is to become a teacher....
As the whole world has its boundaries, limits and freedom coexist in our life. I don’t expect complete freedom, which is impossible. I simply have a dream that supports my life.
I dream that one day, I could escape from the deep sea of thick schoolbooks and lead my own life. With my favorite fictions, I lie freely on the green grass, smelling the spring, listening to the wind singing, breathing the fresh and cool air and dissolve my soul in nature at last. Simple and short enjoyment can bring me great satisfaction.
I dream that one day the adults could throw their prejudice of comic and cartoon away. They could keep a lovely heart that can share sorrow and happiness with us while watching cartoon or doing personal things. That’s the real communication of heart to heart.
I have the belief that my dreams should come true. I am looking forward to some day coming when I am like a proud eagle, which flies to the blue and vast sky.
I love spring, I love flowers, everything glorious spring, love motherland thriving spring.
Spring girl walked with light steps that came to us, she brings us a burst of cool breeze. Spring girl give us bring the brilliant sunshine, sometimes we have to bring in the thin rain, the earth washed clean, so that the seedlings in the field, drink eat eat, also let small seedlings to drink in full.
Spring girl came to the garden, when an artist, the flowers painted colorful: yellow, red, white, blue, with pink, flower scrambling to show valve spits core, powder like Xia, white as snow, red like fire: you see the bushes in full bloom of Phalaenopsis, like countless butterflies, let a person are not clear exactly where is the flower, where is the butterfly. The grass green, seemed to put my clothes are green.
The weather is warm spring girl. People take off the thick winter clothes have to go out and do something you love -- our children go to school, people go to work, old people is in the square, the park activities bones, doing all kinds of sports. Accompanied by the spring breeze of March 5th, a lot of "Lei Feng" appeared in the streets, help the cache, to help repair the clock, to help diagnose a disease of the elderly, propaganda of all kinds of knowledge... "Lei Feng" are busy doing all kinds of things, civilization in the breeze to thousands of households.
Beautiful spring ah! Jing Mei, Wumart, learn from Lei Feng to do good people more beautiful!

We Are The World，We Are The Future.
Someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book，whose pages are infinite”. I don’t know who wrote these words，but I’ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. We are all in the position of the farmers. If we plant a good seed，we reap a good harvest. If we plant nothing at all，we harvest nothing at all.
We are young. “How to spend the youth?” It is a meaningful question. To answer it，first I have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth?” Youth is not a time of life，it’s a state of mind. It’s not a matter of rosy cheeks，red lips or supple knees. It’s the matter of the will. It’s the freshness of the deep spring of life.
We all want the future to be better than the past. But the future can go better itself. Don’t cry because it is over，smile because it happened. From the past，we’ve learnt that the life is tough，but we are tougher. We’ve learnt that we can’t choose how we feel，but we can choose what about it. Failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it，it does mean you should do it in a different way. Failure doesn’t mean you should give up，it does mean you must try harder.
As what I said at the beginning，“we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book，whose pages are infinite”. The past has gone. Nothing we do will change it. But the future is in front of us. Believe that what we give to the world，the world will give to us. And from today on，let’s be the owners of ourselves，and speak out “We are the world，we are the future.”
世界是我们的，未来是我们的。
一些人说“我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。”我不知道谁写了这些话，但是我一直很喜欢它，因为它提醒了我，我们能够创造我们想要的未来。
我们都是农夫。如果我们播下好的种子，我们将会丰收。如果我们的种子很差，有很多草籽，收割的将是无用的庄稼。如果我们什么也不播种，什么收获也没有。
我们所有人都希望未来能比过去更美好，但是未来能自己变得更好。不要因为结束而哭泣，微笑吧，为你的曾经拥有。从过去来看，生活是艰苦的，但我们是更坚强。我们知道我们不能选择感觉，但是我们能选择和它相关的东西。失败并不意味着你不拥有成功，它只意味着你应该用另一种方式去做这件事。失败并不意味着你应该放弃，只意味着你应该更加努力。
正如我在前面所说的“我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。”过去的已经过去，我们无力改变，但是未来却在我们前方。相信“我们给了世界什么，世界也将给我们”。并且从今天起，让我们一起做我们自己的主人，一起大声说出“世界是我们的，未来是我们的。”
What would you do if you failed? Many people may choose to give up.However, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to yourgoal.
On your way to success, you must keep your direction. It is just like alamp, guiding you in darkness and helping you overcome obstacles on your way.Otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.
Direction means objectives. You can get nowhere without an objective inlife.
You can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieveit. In this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your timeproperly. And you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as longas you keep your direction all the time.
We have only one earth.But now,the environment becomes worse and worse.Asyou know,there's no enough clean water for people.So many of them lose theirlives because of water.In a lot of countries,people have to cut trees forliving.So there's nothing to keep water from running away.Also we have pollutedthe land,the river and the air.Some people may say:we are the masters ofnature.Now the "master" seems to be confronted with problems that are far beyondhis control.
the holes of the ozone layer make the earth less suitable to live for somecreatures including human beings.Facing all the disasters made by ourselves,wehave the responsibility to deal with the problem.
we must do something useful to protect our environment.We can plant treesand take good care of them.We can save the water and ask our parents to do so.Wecan't throw any litter onto the ground and we should collect them forrecycling.If we take good care of our earth today,it will be more beautifultomorrow.
There is no better school than y defeat, every heartbreak,every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve myperformance next r again will I contribute to my downfall by refusingto face the truth and learn from my past use I know: gems cannotshine without polish, and I can not perfect myself without hardship.
Now I know that there are no times in life when opportunity, the chance tobe and do gathers so richly about my soul when it has to suffer cruel everything depends on whether I raise my head or lower it in seeking ever I am struck down, in the future, by any terrible defeat, I will inquireof myself, after the first pain has passed, how I can turn that adversity a great opportunity that moment may present……to take the bitter rootI am holding and transform it into fragrant garden of flowers.
Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity.
When I was in my 20s， I saw my very first psychotherapy client。 I was a Ph。D。 student in clinical psychology at Berkeley。 She was a 26—year—old woman named Alex。 Now Alex walked into her first session wearing jeans and a big slouchy top， and she dropped onto the couch in my office and kicked off her flats and told me she was there to talk about guy problems。 Now when I heard this， I was so relieved。 My classmate got an arsonist for her first client。 （Laughter） And I got a twentysomething who wanted to talk about boys。 This I thought I could handle。
But I didn't handle it。 With the funny stories that Alex would bring to session， it was easy for me just to nod my head while we kicked the can down the road。 "Thirty's the new 20，" Alex would say， and as far as I could tell， she was right。 Work happened later， marriage happened later， kids happened later， even death happened later。 Twentysomethings like Alex and I had nothing but time。
But before long， my supervisor pushed me to push Alex about her love life。 I pushed back。
I said， "Sure， she's dating down， she's sleeping with a knucklehead， but it's not like she's going to marry the guy。"
And then my supervisor said， "Not yet， but she might marry the next one。 Besides， the best time to work on Alex's marriage is before she has one。"
That's what psychologists call an "Aha！" moment。 That was the moment I realized， 30 is not the new 20。 Yes， people settle down later than they used to， but that didn't make Alex's 20s a developmental downtime。 That made Alex's 20s a developmental sweet spot， and we were sitting there blowing it。 That was when I realized that this sort of benign neglect was a real problem， and it had real consequences， not just for Alex and her love life but for the careers and the families and the futures of twentysomethings everywhere。
There are 50 million twentysomethings in the United States right now。 We're talking about 15 percent of the population， or 100 percent if you consider that no one's getting through adulthood without going through their 20s first。
Raise your hand if you're in your 20s。 I really want to see some twentysomethings here。 Oh， yay！ Y'all's awesome。 If you work with twentysomethings， you love a twentysomething， you're losing sleep over twentysomethings， I want to see — Okay。 Awesome， twentysomethings really matter。
So I specialize in twentysomethings because I believe that every single one of those 50 million twentysomethings deserves to know what psychologists， sociologists， neurologists and fertility specialists already know： that claiming your 20s is one of the simplest， yet most transformative， things you can do for work， for love， for your happiness， maybe even for the world。
This is not my opinion。 These are the facts。 We know that 80 percent of life's most defining moments take place by age 35。 That means that eight out of 10 of the decisions and experiences and "Aha！" moments that make your life what it is will have happened by your mid—30s。 People who are over 40， don't panic。 This crowd is going to be fine， I think。 We know that the first 10 years of a career has an exponential impact on how much money you're going to earn。 We know that more than half of Americans are married or are living with or dating their future partner by 30。 We know that the brain caps off its second and last growth spurt in your 20s as it rewires itself for adulthood， which means that whatever it is you want to change about yourself， now is the time to change it。 We know that personality changes more during your 20s than at any other time in life， and we know that female fertility peaks at age 28， and things get tricky after age 35。 So your 20s are the time to educate yourself about your body and your options。
So when we think about child development， we all know that the first five years are a critical period for language and attachment in the brain。 It's a time when your ordinary， day—to—day life has an inordinate impact on who you will become。 But what we hear less about is that there's such a thing as adult development， and our 20s are that critical period of adult development。
But this isn't what twentysomethings are hearing。 Newspapers talk about the changing timetable of adulthood。 Researchers call the 20s an extended adolescence。 Journalists coin silly nicknames for twentysomethings like "twixters" and "kidults。" It's true。 As a culture， we have trivialized what is actually the defining decade of adulthood。
Leonard Bernstein said that to achieve great things， you need a plan and not quite enough time。 Isn't that true？ So what do you think happens when you pat a twentysomething on the head and you say， "You have 10 extra years to start your life"？ Nothing happens。 You have robbed that person of his urgency and ambition， and absolutely nothing happens。
And then every day， smart， interesting twentysomethings like you or like your sons and daughters come into my office and say things like this： "I know my boyfriend's no good for me， but this relationship doesn't count。 I'm just killing time。" Or they say， "Everybody says as long as I get started on a career by the time I'm 30， I'll be fine。"
But then it starts to sound like this： "My 20s are almost over， and I have nothing to show for myself。 I had a better résumé the day after I graduated from college。"
And then it starts to sound like this： "Dating in my 20s was like musical chairs。 Everybody was running around and having fun， but then sometime around 30 it was like the music turned off and everybody started sitting down。 I didn't want to be the only one left standing up， so sometimes I think I married my husband because he was the closest chair to me at 30。"
Where are the twentysomethings here？ Do not do that。
Okay， now that sounds a little flip， but make no mistake， the stakes are very high。 When a lot has been pushed to your 30s， there is enormous thirtysomething pressure to jump—start a career， pick a city， partner up， and have two or three kids in a much shorter period of time。 Many of these things are incompatible， and as research is just starting to show， simply harder and more stressful to do all at once in our 30s。
The post—millennial midlife crisis isn't buying a red sports car。 It's realizing you can't have that career you now want。 It's realizing you can't have that child you now want， or you can't give your child a sibling。 Too many thirtysomethings and fortysomethings look at themselves， and at me， sitting across the room， and say about their 20s， "What was I doing？ What was I thinking？"
I want to change what twentysomethings are doing and thinking。
Here's a story about how that can go。 It's a story about a woman named Emma。 At 25， Emma came to my office because she was， in her words， having an identity crisis。 She said she thought she might like to work in art or entertainment， but she hadn't decided yet， so she'd spent the last few years waiting tables instead。 Because it was cheaper， she lived with a boyfriend who displayed his temper more than his ambition。 And as hard as her 20s were， her early life had been even harder。 She often cried in our sessions， but then would collect herself by saying， "You can't pick your family， but you can pick your friends。"
Well one day， Emma comes in and she hangs her head in her lap， and she sobbed for most of the hour。 She'd just bought a new address book， and she'd spent the morning filling in her many contacts， but then she'd been left staring at that empty blank that comes after the words "In case of emergency， please call 。。。 。" She was nearly hysterical when she looked at me and said， "Who's going to be there for me if I get in a car wreck？ Who's going to take care of me if I have cancer？"
Now in that moment， it took everything I had not to say， "I will。" But what Emma needed wasn't some therapist who really， really cared。 Emma needed a better life， and I knew this was her chance。 I had learned too much since I first worked with Alex to just sit there while Emma's defining decade went parading by。
So over the next weeks and months， I told Emma three things that every twentysomething， male or female， deserves to hear。
First， I told Emma to forget about having an identity crisis and get some identity capital。 By get identity capital， I mean do something that adds value to who you are。 Do something that's an investment in who you might want to be next。 I didn't know the future of Emma's career， and no one knows the future of work， but I do know this： Identity capital begets identity capital。 So now is the time for that cross—country job， that internship， that startup you want to try。 I'm not discounting twentysomething exploration here， but I am discounting exploration that's not supposed to count， which， by the way， is not exploration。 That's procrastination。 I told Emma to explore work and make it count。
Second， I told Emma that the urban tribe is overrated。 Best friends are great for giving rides to the airport， but twentysomethings who huddle together with like—minded peers limit who they know， what they know， how they think， how they speak， and where they work。 That new piece of capital， that new person to date almost always comes from outside the inner circle。 New things come from what are called our weak ties， our friends of friends of friends。 So yes， half of twentysomethings are un— or under—employed。 But half aren't， and weak ties are how you get yourself into that group。 Half of new jobs are never posted， so reaching out to your neighbor's boss is how you get that un—posted job。 It's not cheating。 It's the science of how information spreads。
Last but not least， Emma believed that you can't pick your family， but you can pick your friends。 Now this was true for her growing up， but as a twentysomething， soon Emma would pick her family when she partnered with someone and created a family of her own。 I told Emma the time to start picking your family is now。 Now you may be thinking that 30 is actually a better time to settle down than 20， or even 25， and I agree with you。 But grabbing whoever you're living with or sleeping with when everyone on Facebook starts walking down the aisle is not progress。 The best time to work on your marriage is before you have one， and that means being as intentional with love as you are with work。 Picking your family is about consciously choosing who and what you want rather than just making it work or killing time with whoever happens to be choosing you。
So what happened to Emma？ Well， we went through that address book， and she found an old roommate's cousin who worked at an art museum in another state。 That weak tie helped her get a job there。 That job offer gave her the reason to leave that live—in boyfriend。 Now， five years later， she's a special events planner for museums。 She's married to a man she mindfully chose。 She loves her new career， she loves her new family， and she sent me a card that said， "Now the emergency contact blanks don't seem big enough。"
Now Emma's story made that sound easy， but that's what I love about working with twentysomethings。 They are so easy to help。 Twentysomethings are like airplanes just leaving LAX， bound for somewhere west。 Right after takeoff， a slight change in course is the difference between landing in Alaska or Fiji。 Likewise， at 21 or 25 or even 29， one good conversation， one good break， one good TED Talk， can have an enormous effect across years and even generations to come。
So here's an idea worth spreading to every twentysomething you know。 It's as simple as what I learned to say to Alex。 It's what I now have the privilege of saying to twentysomethings like Emma every single day： Thirty is not the new 20， so claim your adulthood， get some identity capital， use your weak ties， pick your family。 Don't be defined by what you didn't know or didn't do。 You're deciding your life right now。 Thank you。
Dear audience and judges,
My topic is "Can money buy happiness".
As we all know, money can buy all the goods in our life, no matter how huge it is. A spaceship, for example, if you really feel your bank account can afford it.
However, when it comes to love, satisfaction, happiness and many other human feelings, it is completely not like this. The result of many recent research can support my point. They said that, though people received far more money than ever, their standard for happiness also rised. That means, if you had one yuan, a car might be your dream, but if you had one million, you might consider owning a space trip. So when people always hope for those they can not afford, they will push themselves to an unhappy
Anyhow, money equal wealthy in life but not happiness in mind. Only by changing our attitude to money and enjoying every day, can we obtain a truely happy future!
I recently started a new job, in a small office, where four of us share afridge. In that fridge is a Brita water filter pitcher. One of my coworkerscomplained the water tasted "dirty". It went on for a few days, and she wasstunned I could drink the water without any trouble. I started to doubt my tastebuds, but the water really tasted fine.
最近我找了份新工作，是在一间小办公室里，我们四个人共用一个冰箱。冰箱里有一个Brita牌滤水壶，有一个同事抱怨说水喝起来感觉很“脏”，她连续抱怨了几天，还很震惊我喝这样的水竟然没事。我开始怀疑自己的味蕾出问题了，但我真觉着水喝着还不错。
Finally, she figured out the problem was actually her cup. She simplyforgot to clean it, and after awhile started to affect the water inside it. Shecleaned her cup, and drank the water with no problem.
最后，她发现问题出在了她的杯子上，她只是忘了刷杯子，过一段时间就影响里面水的味道了。她把杯子洗干净了，水就没有异味了。
I can't help but think about the world we live in. Too often we quicklyblame other people, other things, anything else but ourselves. "You're racist"."You're intolerant". "You're the problem". The world isn't perfect, I know, butI think we should take a step back sometimes and ask ourselves some toughquestions.
我禁不住思考了我们生活的世界，我们总是急于责备其他人、其他事、除了自己之外的一切东西。“你有种族歧视”、“你太狭隘”、“是你的问题”，我知道世界并不完美，但我认为有时我们应该退一步，问自己几个很难回答的问题。
Can I be better? Is my heart really pure? Can I help this situation withkindness?
我能变得更好吗?我的心真的纯洁吗?我能带着善意解决问题吗?
I want to tell you this; please clean your cup. Because when you do, thewater will taste much better. I promise you this.
我想告诉你这个道理：请洗干净自己的杯子。因为只有你把杯子洗干净了，里面的水味道才会好，我保证。
Nothing succeeds like confidence.When you are truly confident,it radiatesfrom you like sunlight,and attracts success to you like amagnet.
It's important to believe in yourself.Believe that you can do it under anycircumstances,because if you believe you can,then you really will.The beliefkeeps you searching for answers,which means that pretty soon you will getthem.
Confidence is more than an attitude. It comes from knowing exactly whereyou are going and exactly how you are going to get there. It comes from actingwith integrity and confidence.It comes from a strong sense of purpose.It comesfrom a strong commitment to take responsibility,rather than just letting lifehappen.
One way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and to get arecord of successful experiences behind you.
Confidence is compassionate and understanding.It is not arrogant. Arroganceis born out of fear and insecurity,while confidence comes from strength andintegrity.
Confidence is not just believing you can do it. Confidence is knowing youcan do it.Know that you are capable of accomplish anything you want,and liveyour life withconfidence.
Anything can be achieved through focused,determined effort andself-confidence.If your life is not what you want it to be,you have the power tochange it,and you must make the changes on a moment by moment basis. Live yourpriorities. Live with your goals and your plan of action. Live each moment withyour priorities in mind. Act with your own purpose,and you will have the lifeyouwant.
Good afternoon, ladies and issue of the Yellow River hasbecome the biggest concern of members of the Chinese peoples PoliticalConsultative childhood, in fact, is closely associated with father is an engineering geologist, and he used to take me with him onhis trips to the hydropower stations on the river.I enjoyed those trips,especially the trip to Longyang Xia ough ten years have passedsince my visit, I can still recall the scenery; I can still recall the water Isaw at the was pure, clean and blue, not like the water I saw inthe middle reaches of the river, which had turned brown and muddy after passingthrough the Loess Plateau.
Once during our stay at the power station, we were caught in when rain stopped, I could see trickles of water rolling downmountain slopes and flowing into the carried little mud or sand,because at that time, trees and grass still grew around the theyprotected the Longyang Xia I was struck by the beauty of nature, and asa child I wanted to stay there and to grow up with our Yellow River.
Li Bai, the Tang Dynasty poet, said praises to the flowing water in theYellow saw it as coming down from heaven and nurturing the peoplealong her way to the ver, in 1997,for 330days, not a single drop ofwater from the Yellow River went into the droughts are not the onlypunishment by nature.A friend of my father's, a university professor, is doingresearch on the Yellow rding to this professor, the Yellow River willsoon change its course if we allow this situation to use there isno longer enough water to carry away the silt and mud in the lower reaches ofthe river and the riverbed rises higher and higher each year.
We have taken too much from nature, but given back too little in this is the cost of the unbalanced we had taken care of thevegetation in the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River, we would stillexperience the river as Li Bai described it.
While the developed countries are consuming proportionally more naturalresources than the rest of the world, they've also taken some good measures inprotecting as a developing country, China can learn from them inthis aspect.
Last year, when I was visiting Australia with a group of Chinese studentswho had won prizes in an English Skills Test, our Australian hosts invited us tojoin them for a horse-ride in the r two hours on horseback, wereached a valley, where there was a most beautiful meadow, with flowers in allcolors dotted on a huge blanket of I began to praise the beauty ofnature, my friends told me that in this valley, there used to be a big mine andthe wastewater from the mine turned everything the mine wasabandoned, people made great efforts to restore the green alsoused the latest biological technology choosing the best grass seeds suitable forthe local the beautiful meadow is a result of commitment, hard work,and new technology.
What happened to this valley in Australia should also happen to our YellowRiver and, in fact, it is happening.I have seen farmers planting trees onmountains along the Yellow River.I have seen them climb the mountain tops withseedlings on their shoulders because they had no machinery.I have seen thempour on trees the water they had carried up in buckets from miles down e farmers are quietly nourishing our Yellow River, just as the riverhas nourished them.
And these farmers, men and women I don't know, gave me the confidence thatwe and our Yellow River will grow together, and someday in the future, we willbe able to drink the clean water from our Yellow River again, because she is ourdearest mother.
Thank you.

Today's speech I want to talk to my classmates about a few stories, thesestories are in our side, but we have never noticed, thinking.
One night last semester, go alone to five teaching self - study. Fatigue tohis eyes faint, faint yellow light trance to see a little boy shuttle betweentables and chairs, those hands links to pick up the garbage in the table bucket.Looking back, his mother is holding a large woven bag, came and took thegarbage. Mother and son of the shadow under the irradiation of a group of lightsappear very long, repeated, fade out of the classroom. I just looked at, whatseems to be thinking, so for a long time.
A small thing in life study, let me look at yourself again. His little badhabits, bring others? Shouldn't we be good young people who love school andlife? How can we indulge in the erosion of negative energy on us? I have asked afew students, how don't you remember to take away the garbage generated byself-study in class? Most students are vacant answer, not someone to accept?
Some of our own little habits, little laziness. Slowly become entrenchednegative energy, we didn't even notice, slowly accustomed to. Our youth, we areyoung, but ignorance is not synonymous with youth and youth.
Classmate, don't know if you have ever met this kind of situation, onenight, you are going to carry a bag to the library to study, is shouting to letthe dormitory of several other elder brothers go with you, at that time, aclassmate said: " oh, boy, the sun came out to the west, you should go to thelibrary, don't pack! " you hesitated, thinking about next week's exam, orthinking about to go to the library self-study make-up class, so, you are goingto go, then another voice rang:" hurry up to open the computer, hero league opena black shop sent a person ah, how can you do without! " at this time, yousilently put down the bag, opened the computer, just study the idea of abruptwas left behind ...
The word " positive energy" students are familiar with, its network meaningrefers to all give people up, give people hope and pursuit, make people actionmotivation and feelings. As a contemporary college student, I think we should bea positive energy person, at the same time, also should make friends withpositive energy, in each other's communication, let positive energy togetherinto a larger upward force, so that college life more positive. " true, good,beautiful" has always been as a synonym for positive energy, specific to collegelife, positive energy also covers a lot of meaning: for example, pay attentionto social welfare undertakings, to participate in social practice, let lovetransfer, so that their lives are sublimated; In the face of setbacks and lifeis not the best, to be able to persevere, with a positive attitude to face; Inthe study, be able to persevere, hard work, perseverance; Be a responsibleperson, able to understand their responsibilities, parents' expectations andsocial expectations. My classmates, my story is not over yet.
After that night, I often talked to my classmates about the experience,everyone also have feelings. Gradually, I found that after class we didn't leavethe classroom in such a hurry, but scanned the table bucket, conveniently taketheir garbage. I feel a positive energy in the spread, everyone has a sunshineand beautiful heart. In the dormitory, inner remorse let me I can no longercontinue to play games like this, I flatly cutting away. One day, two days, Ialso saw them in the study room, we smiled at each other. The original transferof positive energy is not difficult. Young people always have all kinds ofideas, the oath of youth will always be on the lips. No matter where can reflectthe vitality of our young people, and the university is a place where youngpeople gathered most. There will be more things, and the inside of the idea willbe more rich.
we often hear people say,"never give up."these can be encouraging words and words of determination.a person who believes in them will keep trying to reach your goal no matter how many times he fails.in my opinion,the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have.therefore,i believe that we。should never give up.
one reason is that if we give up too easily,we will rarely act eve anything.it is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new,so we should not feel discouraged and should try again.besides,if we always give up when we fail,we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people.another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make anew effort.if we do not try again,the lesson we have learned is wasted.finally,we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals,we develop confidence,and this confidence can help us succee din other areas of our lives.if we never challenge ourselves,we will begin to doubt our abilities.
in short,it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals.whether we succeed in the end or not,we will learn something,and what we learn will help us to become better,more confident people.furthermore,if we give up,we have non chance of attaining our goals,but if we keep trying,there is always achance that we will succeed one day.
I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro.He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money foryouth at risk programs.
The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, "I want to tell youwhy I let Jack use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man whowas the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable,race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As aresult, the boy"s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was asenior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when hegrew up.
"That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of somedayowning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drewa diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, thestables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.
"He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day hehanded it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On thefront page was a large red F with a note that read, `See me after class."
"The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, `Whydid I receive an F?"
"The teacher said, `This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you.You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources.Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You haveto pay for the original breeding stock and later you"ll have to pay large studfees. There"s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, `If you willrewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider yourgrade.’
"The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his fatherwhat he should do. His father said, `Look, son, you have to make up your ownmind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’
"Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the samepaper, making no changes at all. He stated, `You can keep theF and I"ll keep my dream.
Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, "I tell you this storybecause you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace."He added, "The best part of the story is that two summers ago that sameschoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week." When theteacher was leaving, he said, `Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I wasyour teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole alot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up onyours.’"
Don"t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.
演讲稿一：初中英语励志演讲稿——Attitude
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts.
It is more important than the past,than education,than money,than circumstances, than failures,than successes,than what the other people think,say,or do. It is more important than the appearance,the giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company,a church ,a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day, regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past.We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the one stage we have.And that is our attitudes. I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me ,and ninety percent how I react to it.And so it is with you.
We are in charge of our attitudes.
