英语青春励志演讲稿（精选15篇）
We all come to the world, but why do some of us make great achievements known forever and why are they remembered forever even though they leave the world? And why do some leave the world without anything valuable to his generation and the people? Every one of us will hope to have a significant and valuable life. But what kind of life is both significant and valuable? Answers to the questions are …… "If you cherish your value of your own life, you will create something valuable for the world." Johann Goth said. "The life value should be judged from his contribution rather than his profession." Einstein said. Lei Feng, a communist soldier, said, "one lives to make others a more beautiful life."
As we all know, Marx is an outstanding and great man. He founded his brilliant and scientific theory of communism. The theory guides the ways for the human being's liberation. Marx said, "If we can elect one suitable profession, we won't be demoralized with its pressure, because we make sacrifice for human beings. Only by this way will we not be addicted to the joy of narrow-minded and individualism. Our happiness belongs to thousands upon thousands of people. I see, although it may be unknown, our cause will never be forgot forever. Even when we depart to God, the kind people will tear down upon our ashes." When he said these words, he was only 17 years old. He meant his word with his deeds in his late lifetime period. After his death, on his 100-birthday anniversary, the proletarian and the revolutionary people of the whole world still cherish the memory of Marx and mourn him respectively.
It is his distinguishingable contribution to the mankind that his life is that significant. It is his great devotion to the human being that his life value is beyond measure. We also know that Lu Xun is a man of great. Without his nobility "Fierce-browed, I wooly defy a thousand point fingers, head bowed like a willing ox I serve the children", and without his spirit of his loyalty and devotion to the last for the bright future of the Chinese people, his life would not have been so significant and so great. Actually, didn't those regarded as essence of human who live forever in the hearts of people make great contributions to the cause of the people? Wouldn't the people remember those whose great achievements for human are recorded in history? We know for certain that not every of us will be a second Marx or Lu Xun. However, a person of noble aspirations will do solid work. Struggle
continuously and effortless. He will try to make his greatest contribution in his shortest time. He will try what he can to bring benefit to the people in his lifetime. We'd say it is impossible for one to live alone if he isolates society and people. If he hopes to make a benefit life, he will bring benefit and make contribution to people. As a socialist youth, he will devote his life to the cause of communism in order to make a benefit life. Moreover, we say that a value of life will be only in direct proportion to achievement and contribution he makes to our society. In our real life, we can see many revolutionary martyrs die young for the people. Don't you think they cherish the life? Yes. They do. They are sentimentally attached to life; they are full of hope and desire. But they confront the death bravely and resolutely in order to make many more people live. Their brilliant status will be living in the hearts of people. They die glorious and great.
The life of those who die busy about his lifetime without any achievements can not be compared with their life. In our real life, we have many cases like those. Life is endless and tackling key problems will be continuous. Let's take these as examples. Mr. Jing Zhuying worked for the Chinese science causes to the last of his life. Mr. Zhang Hua sacrificed his own young life for the sake of others, which set a good example of the communist. Mr. An Ke died for fulfillment for the duty as a citizen. Ms Zhang Haiti, compared to be Paul of our time, worked very hard and faced frustrations of her life, though she was disabled. She still continues to live on bravely.
All these are the strong of their life. Their value of life is precious. My fellow students, don't you say what a beautiful life they have? Beethoven once said; "I must learn to control my life which will never make me give myself up. Oh, If only I can live more than thousands times!" Paul Cocking also had a golden saying, "Life is but one." I think every youth of us keep this in our minds. let's turn it into reality with our deeds.
Let's not be a man full of promises but without any deeds, like Lusting, one of the characters by Dougeshefol. My fellow students, let's not wander. Let's not hesitate. Only lament and vexation does not mean consideration and exploration. Only lament and vexation does not mean advancing and does not mean mature at all. Let's not kill our lifetime by playing cards. Let's not waste our youth by drinking. Let's not destroy our will without any achievements. Let's make great contribution to human. And only by these can we create benefit life. Every one will have to die and every body will be rotten. But every one may make achievements and contributions. We hate being rotten. Let's brighten up! Up! And up!
我们每一个人来到这个世界上，为什么有的人功业千秋，永垂不朽?为什么有的人悄悄而去，却没有给后人和社会留下一点儿有价值的东西?!人谁不希望自己的一生过得有意义、有价值?那么，怎样的人生才算是有意义有价值的人生呢?对于这个问题……
歌德说："你若要喜爱自己的价值，就得给世界创造价值。"
爱因斯坦说："一个人的价值，应当看他贡献什么，而不是看他得到什么。" 共产主义战士雷锋说："自己活着，就是为了让别人过得更美好。"
马克思是历史上一个了不起的伟大人物，他创立了科学的、光辉的共产主义学说，为人类的彻底解放指明了前进的道路。马克思曾说："如果我们能选择一种最适合于人类工作的职业，那么，我们就不会在它的重压下变得意志消沉，因为我们是在为人类而作出牺牲，这样，我们就不会陷入到一种毫无意义的、狭小的、个人主义的欢乐之中。我们的幸福属于成千上万的人们。我们的事业虽然是无声无息的，但它将永世长存，在我们死后，善良的人们将在我们的骨灰上洒下他们的热泪。"说这段话的时候，马克思只有17岁，而在以后的人生历程中，他用实际行动履行了他所说的话。他诞辰100周年时，全世界无产阶级和革命人民，不是还在深切地怀念他、悼念他吗?正因为马克思为人类作出了卓越的贡献，他的一生才有那样重大的意义，他的人生价值才那样无可估量地巨大。
鲁迅先生也是个伟大人物，如果他没有"横眉冷对千夫指，俯首甘为孺子牛"的崇高精神，如果他没有为中国人民的美好未来而鞠躬尽瘁，死而后已，其人生的意义和价值就不会这样伟大了。
事实上，那些千古不朽、光照史册、堪称人类精英的伟大人物，又有哪个没有为人类的共同事业做出过巨大的贡献呢?
当然，我们不可能人人都成为马克思、鲁迅第二，但真正的有志之士，总是在最短的时间内去做出伟大的成绩，在有生之年尽自己的全部力量去为人类造福。
一个人是不可能离开人类、离开社会而独立生活的，要使人生有价值，就得造福于人类，为社会做出贡献。作为一个社会主义社会的青年，要使人生有价值，就得把自己的生命融入伟大的共产主义的事业之中。
人生的价值只能和一个人对社会做出的贡献的多少、立下的功绩的大小成正比。
许多革命烈士，年纪轻轻就为人民献出了生命，难道他们就不爱人生?不，对人生，他们也充满了眷恋，充满了渴望。但是，他们为了更多人的生，面对死亡毅然决然。他们的光辉形象将永远耸立在人们的心中!他们死得光荣，死得伟大，他们的人生价值是那些碌碌无为而寿终正寝的人不可比拟的。
在今天的现实生活中，这样的事例也是很多的。生命不息，攻关不止，为中华的科学事业战斗到最后一刻的蒋筑英;用美好壮丽的青春，谱写舍己救人共产主义之歌的张华;用生命去履行一个公民职责的安柯;更有身残志坚、顽强学习，面对坎坷的人生之路，仍然勇猛前进的当代保尔张海迪。他们都是人生征途上的强者。他们的人生价值是可贵的。
朋友们，这样的人生是多么美好啊!
贝多芬曾说："我必须学会掌握自己的命运，我决不会屈服于命运。能把生命活上千次百次真是很美!"
然而生命只有一次，保尔·柯察金那段至理名言，我们每个青年都应当牢牢记住，并把它变为自己的实际行动。千万不要像屠格涅夫笔下的罗亭那样，成为语言的巨人、行动的矮子!
亲爱的朋友们，一味地徘徊、彷徨，一味地哀叹、烦恼，并不等于思考、探索、前进，更不是成熟的标志。我们不能让生命在纸牌中磨灭，不能让青春在酒精中溶化，不能让斗志在空想中瓦解，而应当在为祖国和人民的贡献中创造自己的价值!
人生可能腐朽，也可能燃烧，我们不愿腐朽，让我们燃烧起来吧!燃烧起来吧!燃烧起来吧!
My Dream
I dream of being a doctor.
My mother is a doctor. She always has to work extra hours and comes home late and tired. She has to go to the hospital immediately any time she is needed, no matter how late it is at night. When I was very little and still in primary school, I once asked her why she chose such a boring and hard job. She answered with a smile, “Yes I am sometimes very tired but seeing my patients getting better and better makes me happy from the bottom of my heart.”
As I grow up, I gradually come to understand her words and realize doctors are noble. I made up my mind to be a doctor when I was in junior school and this has never changed since then.
I really hope to see a world where there is no cancer, no Aids, no fatal disease, no one suffering from illness. But this is only a fantasy. What about the reality? There are still many many people who are faced with disastrous disease and suffering from constant pain. There are still many many people living in miserable condition and live miserably. There are still many many people dying of cancer and leaving the beautiful world reluctantly. All those things make me feel sad because I think everyone has the right to live . I want to help the sick and reduce their pain as much as I can. I want to bring a healthy body to the patients and save their lives as many as I can. I want to see people cured ,living happily with their families and friends after my treatment. So I want to be a doctor ,an angel in white.
When I become a doctor, I will cherish each life regardless of the races, sexes, ages, positions and occupations. I will do every bit to cure the incurable.
I already have a dream in my heart,so I have to make every effort to realize it.As a high school student now,I will seize every chance to study hard,arm myself with knowledge, prepare myself for the future and strive for my dreams. I will be determined, face the reality bravely and not surrender to any problems I meet.
Is’s like Gothe says,“The important thing in life is to have a great aim and be determined to attain it.”Being a doctor is my dream. I think it is simple but meanful.
The government and people of China have always admired the purposes and principles of the Olympic spirit and supported the efforts made by the Olympics in promoting world peace.

Keep our environment clean and take good care of every tree and every flower. Third, try to be polite. When we meet someone we know, a “hello” is good enough. Then, we can gain their respects for us.
Of course, there are still a lot of things we can do to build the harmonious campus. Anyway, doing something good to our campus is our duty. Let’s do it from now on.

my great pleasure to share my dream with you i was a child， i wanted to bea teacher. my father was a teacher， and he taught me a lot. i worshiped him verymuch. on my tenth birthday， he asked me，“what do you want to be when you growup?”i answered proudly，“i want to be a teacher like you!”on hearing this， myfather was very happy and said to me， “work hard and your dream will come true.”not long ago， one of my primary school teachers was ill. she wanted me to takeher place for two weeks. i was glad but nervous. my father said to me，“this is agood chance. seize it! i wish you success!” when i came into the classroom， thechildren were very happy. i introduced myself to them. soon， i got on well withthem. they all liked me and i loved them. with my father and headmaster's help，i did the work very well. now， i often miss those lovely children.
that experience had made me even more interested in being a teacher in thefuture.
thank you!
“We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pagesare infinite…”
I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as areminder that the future can be anything we want to make it. We can take themysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, justas a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.
We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reapa good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop.If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.
I want the future to be better than the past. I don’t want it contaminatedby the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all beconcerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder ofour lives.
The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The futureis before us and dynamic. Everything we do will affect it. Each day brings withit new frontiers, in our homes and in our business, if we only recognize them.We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of humanendeavor.
“我们正在读一本书的第一章第一行，这本书的页数是无限的……”
我不知道是谁写的，可我很喜欢这句话，它提醒我们未来是由自己创造的。我们可以把神秘、不可知的未来塑造成我们想象中的任何模样，犹如雕刻家将未成形的石头刻成雕像。英语励志短文
我们每个人都像是农夫。洒下良种将有丰收，播下劣种或生满野草便将毁去收成。没有耕耘则会一无所获。
我希望未来比过去更加美好，希望未来不会沾染历史的错误与过失。我们都应举目向前，因我们的余生要用未来书写。
往昔已逝，静如止水;我们无法再作改变。而前方的未来正生机勃勃;我们所做的每一件事都将会影响着它。只要我们认识到这些，无论是在家中还是在工作上，每天我们的面前都会展现出新的天地。在人类致力开拓的每一片领域上，我们正站在进步的起跑点。
Someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of abook， whose pages are infinite”。 I don’t know who wrote these words， but I’vealways liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it tobe。 We are all in the position of the farmers。 If we plant a good seed ，we reapa good harvest。 If we plant nothing at all， we harvest nothing at all。
一些人说“我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。”我不明白谁写了这些话，可是我一向很喜欢它，因为它提醒了我，我们能够创造我们想要的未来。
We are young。 “How to spend the youth?” It is a meaningful question。 Toanswer it， first I have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth?” Youthis 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 thedeep spring of life。
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。
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of theappetite ， for adventure over the love of ease。 This often exists in a man of 60more than a boy of 20 。 Nobody grows old merely by a number of years 。 We growold by deserting our ideals。 Years wrinkle the skin ， but to give up enthusiasmwrinkles the soul 。 Worry ， fear ， self –distrust bows the heart and turns thespirit back to dust 。
我们是年轻的。“怎样度过青春?”这是个有意义的问题。为了去回答它，我首先要问“从‘青春’这个词中你能理解到什么?”青春不是人生的一个时期，而是精神的一种状态。青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，。青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
Whether 60 of 16 ， there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure ofwonders， the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the gameof 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 powerfrom men and from the infinite， so long as you are young 。
A poet said “To see a world in a grain of sand， and a heaven in a wildflower， hold infinity in the palm of your hand， and eternity in an hour。 Severaldays ago， I had a chance to listen to a lecture。 I learnt a lot there。 I’d liketo share it with all of you。 Let’s show our right palms。 We can see three linesthat show how our love。career and life is。 I have a short line of life。 Whatabout yours? I wondered whether we could see our future in this way。 Well， let’smake a fist。 Where is our future? Where is our love， career， and life? Tellme。Yeah， it is in our hands。 It is held in ourselves。
一位诗人说“从一粒沙看世界，从一朵花看天堂，把无限放在你的手掌，永恒在一刹那里收藏”。几天前，我有了一个听讲座的机会，从中我学到了很多东西。此刻，我想把这些与大家共享。让我们伸出右手，我们能够看到手掌中的展示我们的爱，事业和生活的三条线。我在生活方面这条线很短，那你们的呢?我想明白我们是否能够用这种办法去看我们的未来。好的，让我们一齐握拳。我们的未来在哪儿?我们的爱、事业和生活在哪儿?告诉我!是的，它们就在我们的手中。它们被我们自我掌握着。
We all want the future to be better than the past。 But the future can gobetter itself。 Don’t cry because it is over， smile because it happened。 From thepast， we’ve learnt that the life is tough， but we are tougher。 We’ve learnt thatwe can’t choose how we feel， but we can choose what about it。 Failure doesn’tmean 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。
我们所有人都期望未来能比过去更完美，可是未来能自我变得更好。不要因为结束而哭泣，微笑吧，为你的以往拥有。从过去来看，生活是艰苦的，但我们是更坚强。我们明白我们不能选择感觉，可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，它只意味着你应当用另一种方式去做这件事。失败并不意味着你应当放下，只意味着你应当更加努力。
As what I said at the beginning， “we are reading the first verse of thefirst chapter of a book， whose pages are infinite”。 The past has gone。 Nothingwe do will change it。 But the future is in front of us。 Believe that what wegive to the world， the world will give to us。 And from today on， let’s be theowners of ourselves， and speak out “We are the world， we are the future。”
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，无论我们无力改变，可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”。并且从今日起，让我们一齐做我们自我的主人，一齐大声说出“世界是我们的，未来是我们的。”
The need to build a harmonious campus to establish good study , a good ethos. We should promote a vibrant style of the team, a real study , the unity displayed a style of class and diligence to make personal style in a good environment. The students forge ahead and to the ideal of hard work. Learning positive, thereby creating a harmonious atmosphere for education.
The flower opens the day, let’s us happily study in the harmonious atmosphere.
The flower opens the day, let’s us influence the sentiment in the harmonious interest paradise.
The flower opens the day, let’s us healthily grow in the harmonious relationship.
Future will not be the dream, today, in our hand.
Thank you~

People often wonder why historians go to so much trouble to preservemillions of books, documents and records.
Why do we have libraries? What good are these documents and history books?Why do we record and save the actions of men, the negotiations1 of governmentofficials and the events during wars?
We do it because, sometimes, the voice of experience can cause us to stop,look and listen. Sometimes, past records, when understood in the right way, canhelp us decide what to do and what not to do. If we are ever to create lastingpeace, we must seek its origins in human experience and in the records of humanhistory.
From the stories of courage and devotion of men and women, we create theinspirations of youth. History records the suffering, the self-denial2, thedevotion, and the heroic deeds of people in the past. These records can help uswhen we are confused and when we really need peace.
The main purpose of history is to create a better world. History gives awarning to those who promote war, and inspiration to those who seek peace.
In short, history helps us learn. Yesterday’s records can keep us fromrepeating yesterday’s mistakes. And from the pieces of mosaic4 assembled5 byhistorians come the great murals6 which represent the progress of mankind.
英语励志短文人们常常心存疑虑,为什么历史学家要费尽周折地保存数以万计的书籍、文献和记录。
我们为什么要有图书馆呢?这些文献和史书有何用处呢? 我们为什么要记载并保存人类的行为、政府官员的谈判和战争中的事件呢?
我们这么做的原因在于有时候经验之音能促使我们停步、观察和倾听。也因为有时候过去的记载经过正确地诠释,能帮助我们决定何事可为、何事不可为。如果我们想要创造永久的和平,我们就必须从人类的经验以及人类历史的记载中去探索其渊源。
从体现男性和女性勇敢和奉献精神的故事之中,我们获得了青春的启示。英语短文历史记载着人类的一切苦难、克己、忠诚和英勇的事迹。这些记载在我们困惑和渴望和平时能对我们有所帮助。
历史的主要目的是创造一个更加美好的世界。历史对那些力主战争的人给以警告,给予那些寻求和平的人以启示。
简而言之,历史帮助我们学习。昨日的记载可以使我们避免重蹈覆辙。这些历史学家们创作的像马赛克一样色彩缤纷的历史片断汇聚成了代表人类进步的伟大壁画。

今天、明天、今后的每一天尽力做更多一点点。任何人都能做一点小小的改进,但那小小的改进将会起到非常大、非常大的作用。
Nothing is difficult if you put your heart on it。 Nothing is easy if youdon’t try your best。
We often hear people say， “Never give up。” This can be encouraging wordsand words of determination。 A person who believes in them will keep trying toreach his goal no matter how many times he fails。 In my opinion， the quality ofdetermination to succeed is an important one to have。 Therefore， I believe thatwe should never give up。
One reason is that if we give up too easily， we will rarely achieveanything。 It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at somethingnew， so we should not feel discouraged and should try again。 Besides， if wealways give up when we fail， we will not be able to develop new skills and growas people。 Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from ourmistakes only if we make a new effort。 If we do not try again， the lesson wehave learned is wasted。 Finally， we should never give up because as we work toreach our goals， we develop confidence， and this confidence can help us succeedin other areas of our lives。
Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln。 Born intopoverty， Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life。 He lost eightelections， twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown。
He could have quit many times - but he didn't and because he didn't quit，he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of our country。
Lincoln was a champion and he never gave up。
In short， it is important that we don’t give up when working for our goals。Whether we succeed in the end or not， we will learn something， and what we learnwill help us to bee better， more confident people。 Furthermore， if we give up，we have no chance of attaining our goals， but if we keep trying， there is alwaysa chance that we will succeed one day。Thank you very much!
如果你把你的心脏上没有什么是困难的。没有什么是容易的，如果你不尝试你的。
我们经常听到人们说：“永远不要放下。”这能够鼓励决心的词与词。一个人谁相信他们将继续努力，不管经历多少次失败，到达到他的目标。在我看来，有决心的质量成功是有一个重要的之一。所以，我认为我们应当永不放下。
原因之一是，如果我们太轻易放下，就几乎无法完成任何事。这是很平常的我们在我们的一些新的第一次尝试失败了，所以我们不应感到气馁，应当再试一次。此外，如果我们总是放下当我们失败，我们将无法发展新的技能和成长的人。另外一个原因，我们不应当放下的是，我们能够从我们的错误中吸取教训，仅有我们作出新的努力。如果我们不再试一次，我们吸取的教训是浪费。最终，我们应当永不放下，因为当我们努力到达我们的目标，我们就会培养出自信，而这种自信将有助于我们在生活的其他领域中获得成功。
大概持续性的的例子就是林肯。出生在贫困家庭，林肯面临着他一生的失败。他输八大选，两次经商失败，并遭受了神经衰弱。
他能够放下很多次 -但他并没有因为他没有放下，他成为我国历最伟大的总统之一。
林肯是一个冠军，他从来没有放下过。
总之，这是我们努力追求目标时，不放下是很重要的。无论我们最终还是没有成功，我们都会学到一些东西，而我们学什么会帮忙我们变得更好，更有自信的人。此外，如果我们放下，我们没有机会实现我们的目标，但如果我们继续努力，总有一个机会，我们会有成功的。十分感激!
“Once upon a time， there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. To all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. One day, into the king's palace came a handsome young prince…" Well, you know the rest. The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the princess's hand triumphantly.
And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line "And they live happily every after."
Why aren't we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, I would say, so unimaginative? How can a story like that endure generations of repetition`? Because, I think, it is a typical success story. It is highly philosophical and symbolic. By implication, we see a 4-step definition of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess; 2 ) challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks; 3 ) the process of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; and 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage.
The story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result. The reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa. If a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence. The term "success", to be sure. will not sit still for easy definition. But as I understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor. To clarify my view, let me give another analogy.
If we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. If we further changed the rules by not allowing Arsenal's defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. In accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value. The sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.
The concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative. Something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person. In acquiring the ability to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success. That's why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly to the field of science.
I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this. I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level contest.But I chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. Now here I am. If I come out first, it will be a great success for me. If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. For me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because I have truly gained by participating.
Let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of success. You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too.
Thank you.
译文：成功之我见
“很久以前，有个国王，他的女儿貌美如花。老国王向所有来求婚的男士提出了三个任务作为挑战，而每一项任务都异常艰巨，几乎不可能完成。一天，来了一位年轻英俊的王子……”好了，下面的故事你们都知道了。三项任务在不同的版本中各不相同，但关键部分的情节都如出一辙：王子成功地过关，得到了公主的芳心。而故事的结局也都一样，最后一句都写道：“从此他们幸福地生活在一起。
为什么我们对如此美妙、如此不切实际，而我要说，如此缺乏想象力的东西这么乐此不疲呢?这样的故事又如何能够经历几代人的重复?我想，因为它是典型的成功的例子。故事的思想性很强，具有代表性。通过故事带给我们的启示，我们认识到了成功定义中的四个步骤;第一，目标的设定，有如故事里美丽的公主;第二，所遇到的困难和挑战，就像三大任务;第三，克服困难的过程，故事中青年经历重重难关可以作为象征;第四，就是成功的果实，如同幸福的婚姻。
这个故事不仅迎合了人们内心深处对成功的向往，也强调了过程和结果的不可分离。如果通往成功的道路崎岖曲折，那么成功的回报必然硕果累累，反之亦然。如果一个人继承了父辈的百万家产而生活得轻松富足，那么，即使在物质上，他也不能算是个成功人士，因为，他的财富并没有经过艰难困苦而获得。确切地说，“成功”这个词，不是个静态简单的定义。在我的理解中，真正意义上的成功是奋斗的过程和经历了奋斗之后赢得的满意的结果。请让我另举一例来阐明我的见解。
如果我们试着改变足球的比赛规则，将球门放得很大，换下大卫·希曼或其他任何的守门员，这样，随便哪个“大卫”，比如说，“大卫·贝克汉姆”，就可以轻松进球，然而这样进一球却不能给他带来成功的震颤与喜悦。如果我们再改一改比赛规则，不让阿森纳队的防守来守门，那么，贝克汉姆只要动动手，其实就是抬抬脚就能进一球，那样的话实际上也没有什么比赛可言了，因为赢球的意义已经不存在了。在接受挑战、克服困难和经历磨难的过程中，“成功”的价值才得以丰满。取得成果的意义和所克服的艰难的程度成正比。所谓成功的概念不是一成不变的。而昙相对而言的，因为困难的性质也是相对意义上的。
正常人不费力气做成的事对于一个残疾人来说也许相当困难。获得了同正常人一样的能力，这个残疾人就获得了成功。这便是我们为什么崇敬史蒂芬·霍金的原因—虽然行动不便，受到了轮椅的限制，他依然为科学界作出了巨大的贡献。
就我自己而言，生性羞涩，容易怯场，不得不鼓起非常大的勇气来参加此次的演讲比赛。我完全可以待在一边，不参加大学级别的比赛，而落得轻松自在。可是，我还是选择了接受这一挑战来面对困难。现在我来了，如果我能够得第一的话。这对我来说就是巨大的成功。如果，我是最后一名—我希望情况不是这样—但如果我真的是最后一名，我也不会认为这次的尝试是一次失败，反而我要把它当作一次真正的成功来庆贺，因为我一部分的目标是对自己性格的锻炼—更加坚强、勇敢地面对困难。对我来说，这标志着我在通向成功人生的漫漫征途中又向前迈进了一步，尽管是很小的一步，但是我确实通过参与真正地获得了收益。
回到我们年轻英俊的王子和对“成功”的四步骤定义上吧，您也许已经注意到了财富、地位和名誉等这些世俗的标准在故事中并未提及，相反故事强调了克服重重困难的过程。古代的智慧已经对成功的意义下了定义，这也是我的定义。
谢谢!
