英语励志演讲稿十二篇
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!
In the State of Zheng. There was a man who wanted to go into town to buy apair of new shoes.
Before leaving home, he measured his foot with a piece of straw for size.After he arrived at the town and entered a shoe shop, he put his hand into hispocket only to find that in his haste he had left the measurement at home.Thereupon, he turned round and started for home. But when he rushed back to theshoeshop with the measurement, the shop had closed. As a result, he had suanwenwbusied himself for nothing.
Later, someone asked him:” Were you buying shoes for yourself or forothers? ”
He answered:” For myself.”
Someone else asked him:” Don’t you have your feet on yourself? You needonly to Try on shoes with your feet to get the right size. Why did you go backhome to fetch the measurement? “
The man of Zheng insisted:” I would rather trust the measurement than myown feet.”
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。”
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.
Be there just to make up the number
During the Warring States Period (475-221BC), the King of the State of Qi was very fond of listening to yu ensembles. He often got together 300 yu players to form a grand music. The king treated his musician very well. A man named Nanguo heard about that and he managed to become a member of the band, even though he wan not good at playing the instrument at all. Whenever the band played for the king, Nanguo just stood in the line and pretended to play. Nobody realized he was making no sound at all. As a result, he enjoyed his treatment just as the other musician did. When the king died, his son became the new ruler who also liked the music played on the yu. However, he preferred solos so that he ordered the musicians to play the yu one by one. Therefore, Nanguo had to run out of the palace.
the idiom "Be there just to make up the number" is used to mock someone who passes for a specialist. You can also hear people saying it about themselves to show their modesty.
滥竽充数
战国时，齐宣王喜欢听竽，通常是三百人的大合奏。因为他给予乐师非常优厚的待遇，所以一个叫南郭的人尽管并不擅长吹竽，也设法混进乐队。当乐队演奏时，他就站在队伍里假装也在吹。没有人注意到其实他连一点声音也没吹出来，所以南郭也享受到和其他乐师一样的待遇。宣王死后，他的儿子继承了王位。他也喜欢听竽，可是他喜欢听独奏，让乐师一个个吹给他听，于是南郭不得不逃跑了。
"滥竽充数"这个成语用来嘲笑那些没有真正才干，混在行家里的人。 人们有时也用"滥竽充数"来表示自谦。
good evening , ladies and gentlemen . i am joy and glad to give you a speech about stress , yes , just the topic you see on the screen.
psychologist tell us that stress is a state of worry caused by the problem of living , such as too much work or study , heavy responsibilities , and quickened pace of life .
statistics show that stress comes from every detail in our life . financial problems , poor health , being laid off may be the stress that most adults now suffering . as students in the university , we are also under our special stress . while study , having to take various tests and submit a project against a deadline may put a great pressure on us . and the things make us felt stressed may be our parents’s greater expectations on us than we could reach . later , when we are likely to graduate , some other problems will also annoy us . i think we will worry a lot about our ability to compete in the job market and how we can best use what we’ve learned at college in our future job .
my brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sisters bureau and lifted out a tissue-wrapped package. this, he said, is not a slip. this is lingerie. he discarded the tissue and handed me the slip.
it was exquisite, silk, handmade and trimmed with a cobweb of lace. the price tag with an astronomical figure on it was still attached.
jan bought this the first time we went to new york, at least 8 or 9 years ago. she never wore it. she was saving it for a special occasion.
well, i guess this is the occasion.
he took the slip from me and put it on the bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the mortician. his hands lingered on the soft material for a moment, then he slammed the drawer shut and turned to me, dont ever save anything for a special occasion. every day you re alive is a special occasion.
i remembered those words through the funeral and the days that followed when i helped him and my niece attend to all the sad chores that follow an unexpected death. i thought about them on the plane returning to california from the midwestern town where my sisters family lives. i thought about all the things that she hadnt seen or heard or done. i thought about the things that she had done without realizing that they were special.
im still thinking about his words, and theyve changed the weeds in the garden. im spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to savour, not endure. im trying to recognize these moment now and cherish them.
im not saving anything; we use our good china and crystal for every special. event such as losing a pound, getting the sink unstopped, the first camellia blossom… i wear my good blazer to the market if i feel like it. my theory is if i look prosperous, i can shell out $28. 49 for one small bag of groceries without wincing. im not saving my good perfume for special parties s; clerks in hardware stores and tellers in banks have noses that function as well as my party going friends.
someday and one of these days are losing their grip on my vocabulary. if its worth seeing or hearing or doing, i want to see and hear and do it now. im not sure what my sister wouldve done had she know that she wouldnt be here for the tomorrow we all take for granted.
i think she would have called family members and a few close friends. she might have called a few former friends to apologize, and mend fences for past squabbles. i like to think she would have gone out for a chinese dinner, her favorite food. im guessing. ill never know.
its those little things left undone that would make me angry if i knew that my hours were limited. angry because i put off seeing good friends whom i was going to get in touch with someday. angry because i hadnt written certain letters that i intended to write one of these days. angry and sorry that i didnt tell my husband and daughter often enough how much i truly love them.
im trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter and luster to our lives. and every morning when i open my eyes, i tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath truly, is... a gift from god.
ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon! i’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. i hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.
first i want to ask you some questions:
1、do you know what is youth?
2、how do you master your youth?
youth
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 16 , 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!
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.

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.
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.
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.
