学校励志英语演讲稿(通用32篇)
Positive thinking. I’m obviously a big proponent of positive thinking asthe best way to achieve your goals, but it turns out that it can lead tohappiness too. Optimism and self-esteem are some of the best indicators ofpeople who lead happy lives. Happy people feel empowered, in control of theirlives, and have a positive outlook on life. Action steps: Make positive thinkinga habit. In fact, this should be one of the first habits you develop. Get intothe habit of squashing all negative thoughts and replacing them with positiveones. Instead of “I can’t” think“I can”. It may sound corny, but it has workedfor me, every time.
积极的思考。积极思考是达成你目标的最佳方式,我很显然是这一想法的强烈支持者,但同时它也能指引你走向幸福。乐观和自尊是快乐生活的人们的最佳写照。快乐的人们感到充满活力,能够控制他们的生活,同时积极看待生活。动作步骤:把积极思考培养成习惯。事实上,这应该是你首先培养的习惯之一。养成粉碎你的负面想法并用积极的想法替代它们的习惯。用“我能”的想法替代“我不能”。尽管听起来毫无新意,但对我来说每次都很奏效。
We are the world ,we are the future!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
Everyone in the process of growth will meet many troubles and setbacks, those all need people and social understanding and tolerance. Our children are more hope that teachers and parents to care for and tolerance we a lot.
In the process of growth, we could not make mistakes, can't be plain sailing. For example, we study in the school study, I believe that each student's mood is the same want to test a full marks, happily papers to mom and dad will be praised, but often it is not good, why didn't satisfied with the school the teacher will criticize, students will click, home, bowed their heads and not language been disgraced. So the pressure is more and more big, even to the point of unwilling to learn, I hope the teacher and parents don't blame children for grades at that time is not ideal, hope for children to have a tolerant heart. Always encouraged, with the mood to counselling, let your child under the sunshine, slowly grow up, don't worry, knowledge over its reverse.
I remember when I was a child learned many, have so a words: ", at the beginning of the people, goodness... teach similar sex, your reputation... child does not learn, broken machine express... teach child, the young, keep not to teach, the father of ". Can be seen from the above parents godson method and the truth, why don't we parents can go to the school to visit! Parents don't to hurt their children's self-esteem, every child has his great ideal, but needs to be long care at home, discover, cultivate, tolerance to achieve growth.
Respect teacher, dear students:
Everybody is good!
The title of my speech is "with diligence success"
Everybody, to need to use the pace of diligence, in the boundless headstrong field, step out a path to the top.
University in white water rafting, need constant efforts to held the ideal sail hung.
Successful flower, people got only longed for it at the moment, Ming yan, but when it yaren, with the bloody, soak the struggle leiquan! Who is that with it the difficult in life come a long way? - hard! Diligence is holding its colorful sail, ride it lives the tiller, tell it bravely go on. Only in the sweat of rivers, will cause the boat toward the shore of our ideal; Ming yan's tomorrow, is today the sweat and blood blend!
That stood on the peak on the great man of science, shows us is not only the rich fruits of shining golden light, heavier is the symphony composed a song, sweat and tears, left it in the back of the horizon to the world about the flipping cocoon scar in the hand, footprint that is full of peak, on the earth of refraction is "the true meaning of life in attendance"! In the 21st century, the young and gifted to you, please don't let the pursuit of the boat moored in the quiet harbour, let us in changfeng, raise the ideal sail to cross the ocean!
Friends you want to know, however, leave hard to create, talent she couldn't find the spring, the seeds of prima, autumn, winter's future, you and me tomorrow will be a seed buried in the fertile soil in the dry, from the palace, my life will be just a row of cliff wall in the wind! At this moment, you don't need outside hospital, hesitation? Move! Our diligent strides, make the immensity of the headstrong, stepping out of a belong to our own cotai strip! Let us in the old man's urging, time on the cornerstone of hard to build the palace life brilliant!
the most important thing to becoming rich for you is to have a mindset to want to become rich. the reason i saythat is this, is because i wanted to become rich when i played monopoly, that was, i was nine years old. the greatest formula for wealth is found on that board game. when i was nine years old my poor dad, the schoolteacher says, “ah put that game away. study, study, study! you're wasting your time playing monopoly.”
and my rich dad said the formula, “you must open your mind and see the formula right on monopoly.” he said, “it's right in front of you.” and i went, “what's the formula?” and finally i learned the formula is, four green houses, red hotel, four green houses, red hotel. today i'm a rich man because all i ever did since the time i was 24 years old was buy four green houses, sell them all, buy a red hotel, four green houses, red hotel. it is not, that you have to go to school to become rich. just play monopoly; four green houses, red hotel. that's it.
you must look at how people before you have become rich. do not talk to poor people. poor people will tell you, “oh it's too risky. don’t do that. don't take risk. save your money. play it safe.” that is a poor person's mindset. you must have an open mindset, open. and if you have an open mindset you will learn from everything.if you have a closed mindset you will learn from nothing. so i think that is the most important thing.
the difference between money and wealth
no, i don't have a salary. i only had a job four years in my life. i don’t want a salary. the middle class and poor, what they want is high income. they think they want money. but they have no wealth because they have no assets. you must know the difference between money and wealth but they're not the same same. money will never make you rich. this makes you rich. i have large companies. i have lots of stocks. i trade options. i have real estate, that's what makes me rich. so the money just comes in whether i work or not.
bill gates makes $500,000 a year. that's all. i make more than him. that's all he makes but he's worth 40 billion. i'm trying to tell you there is a very big difference between income, money and wealth. so i have spent my life buying assets, businesses, stocks, real estate, that’s what makes you rich, not a job. the reason the rich in america get richer is they pass this on to their kids. my poor dad always said, “high paying job, high paying job, high paying job.” and my rich dad said, “assets, assets, assets.” that's the difference.
我的中国梦
I am very glad to stand here to give thier a short speech.Today my topic is that the youth are the future of motherland
很高兴站在这里做这篇短小的演讲,我演讲的主题是青年是祖国的未来。
When preparing for the English speech contest, I simply want to search some articles as the contents of my speech. I read a lot of articles, some from the university professor, some from the famous host, some from the college students, and even from junior high school students. But after reading it, I gave up the idea, I even felt shameful. Today,the topic I want to talk about is a solemn and serious theme full of glory and pride, which is a common aspiration of all our Chinese. Every Chinese has his own dream of China, and of course, there is a dream lingering in my heart only belongs to my own.
在准备英语演讲比赛的时候,我本想简单地从网上搜索一些文章作为我演讲的内容。我看过很多文章,有著名主持人的、北大教授的、大学生的,也有初中生的。但是看完之后,我放弃了当初的想法,我甚至为当初的想法感到有一些羞愧。因为今天我站在这里向大家演讲的主题,是一个庄重而严肃的主题;是一个充满荣耀与自豪的主题;是每一个中华儿女共同期盼的主题。每个人都有属于他们自己的中国梦,而我,当然也有一直萦绕在心怀只属于我的中国梦。
So what’s my Chinese dream ? Finally I will announce.
We had learned a lot of knowledge and understood a lot of truth in the book. We had a basic concept to our country at that time. We know that our country is full of sunshine , and we are the future of our country, and our dreams are to be the hope of our motherland.
我的中国梦是什么样的?先卖个关子。
记得刚刚上学那会儿,我们天真无邪。在课本里,我们学到了很多很多知识,也明白了很多很多道理,我们对祖国也有了一个最基本的概念。我们知道我们的祖国到处充满阳光,正在慢慢发展,而我们,就是祖国未来的花朵,未来的希望。我们梦想将来能够成为祖国的希望。
However,We don't know what time to start,We are grow up,Life became not the same, though we don’t want to admit, it’s the truth that our mind and attitude to our country is changing. Our society became full of deception, indifference, intrigue, pressure, corruption, sinister, and we became irritable and not calm, detest the world and its ways. Our country seems to have become in a disastrous state too. A lot of young students who were nurtured by our motherland became impatient, let alone what are their dreams , what is the china dream ?
这,是我们最初的中国梦。最真诚的我们,最真诚的梦。
但是,不知道什么时候开始,我们长大了,生活似乎一下子变得和以前不太一样了,与此同时,虽然我们很不想承认但是却又不得不承认的是,我们的思想,我们的为人处世观,我们对我们祖国的看法,也潜移默化中慢慢开始了转变。我们的社会变得到处充满欺骗、冷漠、勾心斗角、压力、腐败、险恶,我们变得暴躁,不冷静,愤世嫉俗。我们的国家,似乎也开始变得千疮百孔。而好多我们亲爱的祖国委以重任培养的青年学生们变得轻浮、急躁,更别提什么梦想,什么中国梦了?
I was surprised ,when the old man fell down in the street,We are afraid to help him.I was disappointed ,when someone do good things were reported,many people think he was affectation, I was sad,when I saw many of young people become indifferent ,fraud and lack of ideal.
Are we sick, or is our dear motherland sick?
我很惊讶,当大街上有老人摔倒,我们不敢再去扶起;我很难过,当有人做了好事被报道,更多的人说他做作;我很伤心,当我看到我们众多的青年人变得冷漠、市侩、欺诈以及缺乏理想。
到底是我们病了,还是我们亲爱的祖国病了?
I don't want to talk about the construction of our country politics, and also speak impassioned speech on the Diaoyu Island event .I just want to appeal young people,showing the side of youth,good and confidence.We must learn to organize our own thoughts, correct our own concept, and change our direction to the right side in future life. China dream actually lies in our young generation, especially of the intellectuals.
我的中国梦,不想大谈政治,也不想对钓鱼岛事件发表慷慨激昂的演讲。我只想呼吁,呼吁我们年轻人,呼吁我们祖国的希望能够将我们的青春一面,将我们的善良一面,将我们的自信一面好好展现出来。我们要学会整理自己的思想,端正自己看问题的观念,摆正自己的人生方向。我们的中国梦实际上正掌握在我们自己手上,掌握在我们年青一代,尤其是知识分子手上。
Perhaps the strength of a person is small, but when his or her fate is connected with the motherland, he or she will be hero or heroine. Perhaps a dream is tiny, but when it becomes the dream of a country, it becomes inestimable. Perhaps I cannot change our country by my own, but if thousands and thousands of young people struggle for the dream together, our motherland is enough to make the world shock.
也许,一个人,是渺小的;但是当他和祖国联系起来时,就是伟大的。也许,一个梦想,是渺小的,但是当它成为祖国的梦想时,就是不可估量的。也许,我无法用自己一个人的力量撬起整个中国,但是我们千千万万年轻人一起为祖国的梦想去奋斗时,我们的祖国就足以令世界颤抖、动容。
I dream to construct our beauty China with millions of young people who have the same dream. We do it without exaggeration but only with persistence.
我梦想和万千具有相同梦想的年轻人去建设我们的美丽中国,没有虚浮,只有执着,只有奋斗,只有勇于担当。这就是我的中国梦!
That is my speech,thanks everyone.
我的演讲就到这里,谢谢大家。

有个小孩爱上了另一个小孩,对方是学校的同学。八岁或十岁左右的孩子有时会迷恋班上某个人,然后就以为自我恋爱了。因此这个八岁的小孩回家问他爸爸:「爸爸,结婚很花钱吗?」爸爸说:「是啊,儿子,十分花钱。」儿子又问:「要花多少钱呢?」爸爸说:「我不明白,儿子,我到此刻还一向在付钱啊!」

I have a few candles stored in a drawer in my dining room.They’re meantfor romantic dinners and special occasions, but since the arrival of our threechildren they have lain unnoticed among the napkins and other things.They arewaiting to be taken out and lit to share their glow with anyone who will takethe time to bask in their brilliance.
Are not our souls like those candles, patiently waiting for someone to comeand let us be ourselves? We are all waiting for our own moments to shine; weeach have a special light, unmatched by any other.
Candles are made up of wax and a wick; we have bodies, but our essence liesin our minds and souls.Candles are unique in their colors, shapes and designs.Our life histories and experiences are the backdrops of who we are, but ourminds are like candle wicks, and make our passions flame.Unlike the candles inmy drawer, who get used or not used depending on my whims, we control our ownthoughts, and how brightly we will burn or dimly we will shine.
Is your soul candle dimmed by circumstance or lack of passion anddirection? Is it hidden in a drawer of stress, worry or resentment? Make achoice to let yourself shine the way you were meant to shine.
People always say that we are lacking of the eyes of realizing the beautyin life. I can't agree with it anymore. Last week, I woke up very early in themorning, so I decided to take a walk. The street was very quiet and there weremany old people dancing in the square. Without many cars, I realized the citylooked so clean and beautiful. Some coffee shops decorates so well, whichattrated my eyes. The city was coverd by the green trees, which made it a greencity. I liked this feeling so much. At this moment, I found the city was solovely, I just ingored its beauty usually.
人们总是说我们缺乏发现实现生活中的美丽的眼睛。我十分同意。上周,我早上很早就醒了,所以我决定出去散步。街上很安静,有很多老人在广场上跳舞。街上没有了很多小车,我意识到这个城市看起来那么干净和漂亮。一些咖啡店装修很好,吸引了我的眼球。这座城市被绿色的树木覆盖着,这是一个绿化放的城市。我很喜欢这种感觉。这时,我发现这个城市是如此的可爱,平常我忽略了它的美。
Everything about my future was ambiguously assumed. I would get into debtby going to college, then I would be forced to get a job to pay off that debt,while still getting into more and more debt by buying a house and a car. Itseemed like a never-ending cycle that had no place for the possibility of adream.
I want more—but not necessarily in the material sense of personal wealthand success. I want more out of life. I want a passion, a conceptual dream thatwouldn’t let me sleep out of pure excitement. I want to spring out of bed in themorning, rain or shine, and have that zest for life that seemed so intrinsic inearly childhood.
Failing is what makes us grow, it makes us stronger and more resilient tothe aspects of life we have no control over. The fear of failure, although, iswhat makes us stagnant and sad. So even though I couldn’t see the future asclearly as before, I took the plunge in hopes that in the depths of fear andfailure, I would come out feeling more alive than ever before.
We followed in the footsteps of time, day by day grow up, has evolved from a cute girl, growing into a beautiful girl.
Vaguely remember childhood, remember that time my innocence, I always want to grow up quickly, childhood also has sorrow and distress, so children always want to grow up soon.
Childhood is always spent in laughter. Eyes closed slowly, see picture in the brain, father, mother and four years old I see the photos together, a family full of happy smile on her face, then suddenly I found that only a few pictures of me in the picture, the in the mind think like this. Inadvertently found that there is a camera on the table, I suddenly stood up, took the camera to the desk, suddenly fell to the ground, said: "don't let your camera!" Mother's smile, dad's helpless, don't understand at that time. Children, always such a simple thought that the question, ask the reason, only know the result.
Eyes slowly opened and looked in the mirror, is a vibrant and energetic girl, think the past memories, or when a child is better. A little sour, a little sweet girl, can let we know our friends, parents, teachers, painstaking could take our time to study, parents always said in the future, the teacher always said in the future, sometimes we really tired, want to a person be quiet. Now I understand why the study well, because if you give up learning today, tomorrow there will be a good company and you said goodbye, so for the sake of your future, efforts to do every thing.
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 ofrosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees. it?s the matter of the will. it?s the freshness of the deep spring oflife.
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 ofbeauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from 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 wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an ral days ago, i had a chance to listen to a lecture. i learnt a lot there. i?d like to share it with all of you. let?s show our right palms. we can see three lines that show how our er and life is. i have a short line of life. what about yours? i wondered whether we could see our future in this way. well, let?s make a fist. where is our future? where is our love, career, and life? tell , it is in our hands. it is held in ourselves.
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.”

你所走的路决定你的命运,而不是你的命运决定你应该走什么样的路。
The question is: Are you satisfied with who you are? Are you doing what youare capable of doing? Do you get excited about what you are going to do when youget up in the morning? It is high time you asked these questions that reflectthe truth about your life. More often than not we have the ability to achievemuch greater things, but we get caught in the average things in life and wasteour potential. Each one of us has immense ability. But most of us fail to useit. Why?
问题来了,你满足于你的现状吗?你正在做自己力所能及的事吗?每天起床后,你会对自己要去做的事感到兴奋吗?英语短文是时候问问这些能反映自己真实情况的问题了。我们总是有机会获得更大的成功的,但是却又常常被日常琐事所累,从而白白浪费了自己的潜力。每个人的能力都很强,但是我们却常常无法正确利用它。为什么呢?
1、There is no exact purpose for your life.
生活没有明确的目标
2、You underestimate yourself.
低估自己
3、You are too busy to think about any-thing.
忙到没时间思考
4、You are in a comfortable zone.
安于现状。
5、You fear failure.
害怕失败。
Ask yourself, what difference am I making in the lives of others? Would yoube happy and satisfied with what you have achieved? Are you following yourpassion? You must find what you love and what gives you fulfillment.
自问一下,我给别人的生活带来了什么改变吗?你对自己的成就感到快乐和满意吗?你正充满激情吗?你必须找到你所爱的和能给你带来满足感的事物。
Don’t be afraid to make a new beginning. Go deep and explore thepossibilities. As you go deeper and deeper, you begin to add meaning to yourlife.
不要害怕重新起跑。更深入地去发现可能性。当你对生活理解加深的时候,你就给生活增添了意义。
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.

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
lines that show how our love.career and life is. I have a short line oflife. What about yours? I wondered whether we could see our future in this way.Well, let’s make a fist. Where is our future? Where is our love, career, andlife? Tell me.Yeah, it is in our hands. It is held in ourselves.
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.
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.”
有人说“我们正在阅读一本书第一章的第一节,它的页数是无限的”。我不知道这些词是谁写的,但我一直喜欢这些词,以提醒人们未来可以是我们想要的任何东西。我们都处于农民的地位。如果我们种下一颗好种子,我们会收获一个好收成。如果我们什么都不种,我们什么都不收获。
我们很年轻。“如何度过青春?“这是一个有意义的问题。要回答这个问题,首先我必须问“你对青年这个词有什么理解?“青春不是人生的时光,而是一种心态。这不是脸颊红润、嘴唇红润或膝盖柔软的问题。这是意志的问题。这是生命深处春天的新鲜。
一位诗人说:“在一粒沙子里看到一个世界,在一朵野花里看到一个天堂,把握在你手中的是无限,永恒在一个小时内。几天前,我有机会听了一次讲座。我在那里学到了很多。我想和大家分享一下。让我们展示我们的右手掌。我们可以看到三个显示我们的爱情、事业和生活的线条。我的寿命很短。
你的呢?我想知道我们是否可以这样看待我们的未来。好吧,让我们打一拳。我们的未来在哪里?我们的爱情、事业和生活在哪里?告诉我。是的,它在我们手中。这是我们自己的事情。我们都希望未来比过去更美好。但是未来会更好。
不要因为结束而哭泣,微笑吧,因为已经发生了。从过去,我们了解到生活是艰难的,但是我们更艰难。我们已经了解到我们不能选择自己的感受,但是我们可以选择如何去感受。失败并不意味着你没有它,而是意味着你应该以不同的方式去做。失败并不意味着你应该放弃,而是意味着你必须更加努力。
正如我在开头所说,“我们正在阅读一本书第一章的第一节,它的页数是无限的”。过去已经过去了。我们所做的一切都不会改变它。但是未来就在我们面前。相信我们给世界的东西,世界会给我们的。从今天起,让我们成为自己的主人,大声说“我们是世界,我们是未来”。
Since we have received education, we are told that drugs are horrible andthey can destroy our life completely. In the TV, the news reported the disastersthat drugs would bring, but still there were so many young people had beenseduced to take drugs. During recent years, some famous stars were caught by thepolicemen. They took drugs and brought the negative information to the public.As a result, their career was ended and they couldn't appear in the screen. Theyoung people is the future of a country, but they are easy to be seduced bycriminal behaviors. They want to try something new and go against the law. It isunwise to try drug, because it is hard to recover. Without strong will, lifewill be ruined. We should stay away from drugs.
我们所接受的教育都是告知我们毒品是可怕的,它们可以彻底摧毁我们的生活。在电视上,新闻报道了毒品会带来的灾难,但仍然有很多年轻人被_去吸毒。近年来,一些著名的明星因吸毒被警察抓住了,也把这负面信息带给了公众。结果,他们的职业生涯就结束了,再也不能出现在屏幕上。年轻人是一个国家的未来,但是他们很容易被犯罪行为所_。他们想尝试新事物,违反法律。尝试毒品是不明智的,因为它很难戒掉。如果没有坚强的意志,生活将会被毁灭。我们应该远离毒品。
Keeping a Dream is an attitude toward life. With dreams, we can overcomedifferent kinds of difficulties in life.
I usually get discouraged easily when I fail in an exam. My head teachertold me "nothing is difficult if you don't lose heart.". I followed his adviceand began to work harder. It was his encouragement that pulled me through. Aslong as I keep trying, obstacles can become bridges to success.
Besides, it's important for us to protect our dream. Dreams always lead tohappiness, and success. Only when we are in pursuit of a dream can we live in aconstructive way, can we satisfy our parents and shoulder the futureresponsibility.
It is the road you take that decides your destiny but not your destiny thatdecides the road you take.
The question is: Are you satisfied with who you are? Are you doing what youare capable of doing? Do you get excited about what you are going to do when youget up in the morning? It is high time you asked these questions that reflectthe truth about your life. More often than not we have the ability to achievemuch greater things, but we get caught in the average things in life and wasteour potential. Each one of us has immense ability. But most of us fail to useit. Why?
1、There is no exact purpose for your life.
2、You underestimate yourself.
3、You are too busy to think about any-thing.
4、You are in a comfortable zone.
5、You fear failure.
Ask yourself, what difference am I making in the lives of others? Would yoube happy and satisfied with what you have achieved? Are you following yourpassion? You must find what you love and what gives you fulfillment.
Don’t be afraid to make a new beginning. Go deep and explore thepossibilities. As you go deeper and deeper, you begin to add meaning to yourlife.。
关于命运
Predestination
many things in this world find neither an answer nor a proper explanation. for example, why should two become a couple among the billions of people on earth? why don't they love each other even though they live together everyday, and yet one of them falls in love with someone else at the first sight? why do the members of a family quarrel daily but still stay unhappily together? why can't they get married in spite of the fact that they are a perfect match to each other? why should one toil so much for the other? why should the love-infatuated always be deserted by the heartless?.....
people remain puzzled in spite of their great effort to understand the endless questions, so they invented the all-embracing word---“predestination”. in order to be more precise, different combinations were derived from it: love predestination, sinful predestination, evil predestination, and kind predestination etc., hence we have the sayings like: “predestination will definitely bring you together despite the great distance while without predestination, you'll never know each other even though you are standing fact to face” “a distant couple is tied up with the thread of predestination” and even the phrases and expressions like “the god of marriage”, “predestination without luck”, “luck without predestination”, “coming across each other is a kind of predestination”, “enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road”, “they shall not marry each other unless they are predestined lovers”. if people still can not find answers, they turn to “reincarnation” for help. lin daiyu is always in tears just for repaying for the water jia baoyu had given her when she was a plant in her previous life in a dream of the red mansions .
in fact, the so-called “predestination” is often a kind of coincidence or chance encounter, even a kind of accident. if you don't meet this person, you'll surely meet some one else. but people insist on adding some colors of emotions or superstition, thus generating various religious factions, the main theories of which are no more than that of “reincarnation”, “heaven and hell” and “the ever-lasting soul” etc.
but does anyone know anything about his previous life or his after life? what could he do even if he knew them? if he can't grasp the present life, what's the benefit of commenting on the visionary after life? giving up today is the same as giving up tomorrow, for they are closely connected. how absurd it is to work like the horse or cattle in the present life in order to be above others in the next life.
have you ever seen emperor qinshihuang reincarnate? have you ever heard of emperor wudi of the han dynasty going into another life? where is now monk xuanzang of the tang dynasty (what we know is the big wild goose pagoda)? where is the monkey king (the flower and fruit mountain does exist, though)? and where can we find those great emperors such as yao , shun yu and the influential philosophers like confucius, laozi and zhuangzi?
how many heavens do we find? are they also divided into the oriental and the occidental world? is god a chinese or westerner? which is the greatest religion among buddhism, daoism, christianity, catholicity and islamism? all religions advocate doing good deeds and not killing, but why do they keep contending against each other, even fighting and killing among themselves? is the paradise the same one in all religions? there's only one sun in the sky, and there should be only one emperor in a country, but do all religions believe in the same god, or do they have different gods of their own? if all of us expected god's help, wouldn't god be too busy and too tired?
does god respect science? if not, why does he allow computers and telecommunications to run rampant? if it is god who created human beings, then doesn't he feel out of control of what the human being are doing now (the nuclear weapons and bio-chemical weapons, etc.)?
we human beings have an origin, and is it the same with god? does god get married? is god hereditary, or is it the same ever-lasting one?
we have all those questions but who can answer them?.
predestination needs us to strive for; friendship needs us to maintain; good will needs us to treasure and future needs us to create. there is no savior, nor goddess of mercy who once saved people in the past but cannot do anything to help the people at the present. the world is developing too fast.
people have to work together and associate with each other. talking about predestination, it's just a kind of explanation about what has happened, and i'm afraid nobody can predict it before hand. from ancient times till the 1980' s, once getting married, the couple had to stick to each other for their whole life. can we say it is because of their life-long predestination? it is just because of the marriage system. in the western countries, life-long marriage is rare. can we sa
y it is because their predestination makes it so? it is actually the result of human nature. the color of love could be attached to predestination, but not the color of superstition.
predestination is a lovely word which we should treasure and respect. in the present world, we should always follow the win-win or multi-win policy, instead of being single-handed. in order to achieve success, we must gain mass support instead of indulging in self-admiration. we might as well call the communication, the cooperation, the common concerns and the common aspirations of human beings “predestination”.
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 thefreshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
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 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 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 .
When the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows ofcynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but aslong as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you maydie young at 80.
Thank you!
青春不是指岁月,而是指心态。粉嫩的脸,红润的唇,矫健的膝并不是青春。青春表现在意志的坚强与懦弱。想象的丰富与苍白、情感的充沛与贫乏等方面。青春是生命深处清泉的喷涌。
青春是追求。只有当勇气盖过怯弱、进取压倒苟安之时,青春才存在。果如此,则60见之长者比20岁之少年更具青春活力。仅仅岁月的流逝并不能使他们衰老。而一旦抛弃理想和信念,则垂垂老也。
岁月只能使皮肤起皱。而一旦丧失生活的激情,则连灵魂枯老,使人生枯如死水,毫无活力。
60岁长者也好,16岁少年也罢,每个人的内心深处都渴望奇迹,都如孩子一般眨着期待的双眼,期待着下一次,期待着生活的情趣,你我灵魂深处都有一座无线电中转站------只有你我年轻,则总能听到希望的呼唤,总能发出喜悦的欢呼,总能传达勇气的讯号,总能表现出青春的活力………
一旦青春的天线倒下,你的灵魂即为玩世不恭之雪、悲观厌世之冰覆盖;即使你年方20.其实你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天线高高耸起,就可以随时接收到乐观的电波-----即使你年过八旬,行将就木,而你却仍然拥有青春,你仍然年轻。
谢谢!
Occasionally, life can be undeniably, impossibly difficult. We are facedwith challenges and events that can seem overwhelming, life-destroying to thepoint where it may be hard to decide whether to keep going. But you always havea choice. Jessica Heslop shares her powerful, inspiring journey from the worsttimes in her life to the new life she has created for herself:
When we see the successful people, it is natural for us to feel jealous. We see their power and fame, wishing we can be one of them. But the fact is that who knows what these successful people have paied for. I remember the top swimmer Michael Phillips described his daily life. He said that he had to practise so hard, even on the Christmas Day, when other people were enjoying the family reunion, he was working hard on the swimming pool and making himself stronger. We always see the celebrities’ glory but always ignore their hard-working. They deserve the honor and people’s respect. If we want to be successful, we must work hard.

当我们看到别人的成功时,总是会很自然地感到嫉妒。我们看到了他们的权力和名声,也希望自己可以成为其中一员。但事实是,又有谁知道这些成功人士付出了什么。我记得顶尖游泳运动员迈克尔菲利普斯描述他的日常生活时说,他非常努力练习,即使是在圣诞节,别人在欢度家庭聚会时,他还在游泳队中训练,努力让自己变得更强。我们总是只看到名人的荣耀却看不到他们的辛勤。他们值得拥有这些荣誉和人们的尊重。如果我们想要成功,就必须要努力。
Now I am a middle school student, I will enter high school soon. Everybodythinks that the age of mine is the best age, because we are young and full ofvitality. But I want to grow up quickly. I am not afraid of growing old and Iwant to grow older. In my eyes, age is a gift. As the time goes by, I willbecome mature. Because the thing I have been through will teach me the lessonand I will learn a lot, becoming a better person. The young and innocent meeager to grow up, I know it takes time to be independent. Age is a gift, so nowI cherish every moment.
Mistakes and errors are the disciplined true which we advance in life.Mistakes are great teachers.Success comes to those who are willing to riskmaking mistakes in the pursuit of their goals and aspirations, and who are ableto learn from those mistakes.And in order to learn from mistakes you must bewilling to pay for them.
Mistakes can be enormously valuable, but when you try to get others to payfor your mistakes, then you deprive yourself of the opportunity to learn fromthem.When something goes wrong, it's usually very easy to find someone else toblame, but what does that really accomplish?
Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact that they demand a costthat must be paid.The person who learns the most from a mistake is the personwho pays the price for that mistake.
When you make a mistake, the lastthing you want to do is run away from it.You need to accept it because you can learn a lot from it.The mistake has beenmade, so make the most of it.Pay the price, learn the lesson, and grow thatmuch stronger.
When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long.Remember the reasonfor it, and then look forward.Mistakes are lessons of wisdom.The past cannotbe changed.The present is still in your power.Take full advantage of yourmistakes to achieve your goals and aspirations.
If you put a buzzard in a pen six to eight feet square and entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten to twelve feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.
如果把一只秃鹫放在一个6~8平方英尺的无顶围栏里,这只大鸟尽管会飞,也绝对会成为这栏中之囚。原因是秃鹫从地面起飞前总要先助跑10~12英尺的距离。这是它的习惯,如果没有了足够的助跑空间,它甚至不会尝试去飞,只会终身困囿于一个无顶的小囚笼中。
The ordinary bat that flies around at night, who is a remarkable nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is to shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.
晚上飞来飞去的普通的蝙蝠,本是一种在空中极其敏捷的动物,但却无法在平地上起飞。如果被放在地板或平坦的地面上,它就只会无助地挪动,毫无疑问这样很痛苦。除非它到了稍高的位置,有了落差,才可以立刻闪电般地起飞。
A bumblebee if dropped into an open tumbler will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself.
一只大黄蜂如果掉进了一个敞口平底玻璃杯里,除非有人把它拿出来,否则它就会一直呆在里边直到死去。它永远不知道可以从杯口逃出,只坚持试图从杯底的四壁寻找出路。它会在根本不存在出口的地方寻找出路,直到彻底毁了自己。
In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bumblebee. They are struggling about with all their problems and frustrations, not realizing that the answer is right there above them.
其实在很多方面,很多人也像秃鹫、蝙蝠和大黄蜂一样,使尽浑身解数试图解决问题、克服挫折,却没有意识到解决之道就在正上方。
Success means different things for different people. Some may equate itwith fame, some with wealth and still some with accomplishments. For me, itmeans fulfilling one's dreams. Whatever your dreams are, you have a goal thereand then focus all your attention on it. Dreams bring you hope and happiness. Inthe process of struggling for it, you cry, sweat, complain or even curse, butthe joy of harvesting makes you forget all the pains and troubles you have gonethrough. So an old proverb says that the sweetest fruit is one that hasundergone the bitterest ordeal. There are several keys to success. First, your goal must be practical andpracticable. If you set your goal too high, chances are that you will neverattain it. Next, you have to make a plan of doing it. You can take some steps torealize it. Since the process is quite tough, you need to be diligent, patientand persevering. Even if you meet with some
difficulties or frustrations, justtake them in your stride. You can always tell yourself that there is nothinginsurmountable. With this will and determination, success is sure to wait foryou at the end of the tunnel!
In the flood of darkness, hope is the light. It brings comfort, faith, andconfidence. It gives us guidance when we are lost, and gives support when we areafraid. And the moment we give up hope, we give up our lives. The world we livein is disintegrating into a place of malice and hatred, where we need hope andfind it harder. In this world of fear, hope to find better, but easier said thandone, the more meaningful life of faith will make life meaningful.
在潮水般的黑暗之中,希望是光。它带来舒适、信仰和信心。它在我们迷失时给予指引,在我们恐惧时给予支持。而在我们放弃希望的那一刻,也就放弃了生命。我们生活的世界正瓦解成一个充满恶意和仇恨的地方,在这里我们就更需要希望,却又难以寻得。在这充满恐惧的世界里,找到希望谈何容易,但是,对更好、更有意义的人生的信仰才会让生命有意义。
After the rain, a difficult spider to the wall has been fragmented network, due to damp walls, it must climb the height, it will fall, which one to climb, repeatedly falling and… No. a person to see, and he sighed to himself:
"my life as this spider is not it? busy and no income."
Thus, he increasingly depressed. See the second person, he said:
this spider really stupid, why do not dry place from the next to climb up to look around? I'll be as stupid as it can not. Thus, he becomes wise up. See the third person, he immediately spiders keep the spirit of war touched. So he has become strong.

雨后,一只蜘蛛艰难地向墙上已经支离破碎的网爬去,由于墙壁潮湿,它爬到一定的高度,就会掉下来,它一次次地向上爬,一次次地又掉下来……第一个人看到了,他叹了一口气,自言自语:“我的一生不正如这只蜘蛛吗?
忙忙碌碌而无所得。”于是,他日渐消沉。
第二个人看到了,他说:这只蜘蛛真愚蠢,为什么不从旁边干燥的地方绕一下爬上去?
我以后可不能像它那样愚蠢。
于是,他变得聪明起来。第三个人看到了,他立刻被蜘蛛屡败屡战的精神感动了。于是,他变得坚强起来。
After school, the students say goodbye to each other happily, ready to go home, I went into the village, just to oneself the home of the gate, was attracted by the door of a scene - a 60 uncle, is not tall, wearing a white coat, limped walking, the other people the way of a few seconds, will allow him to go for a few minutes, or more.
Silently I looked at him, and he walked in the park the cobbles, there are many children use the malicious look to him, he just laugh it off, "a group of lovely child!"
The next day, I still saw him walking on the stone egg road, the wind gently blowing, seemed unusually quiet. He walk, accidentally fell down. I have a look, panic nasty in the heart, calm to lifted him up quickly. He looked at me, thanks, then limped away, seems to don't want me to see his deputy.
That night, the figure appeared again: he walked old crutches, is to open the two meters high 'mailboxes. For a disabled people, turn a two meters high 'mailboxes on is not an easy thing. I took the keys in his hand, feet stand, took out a pile of paper and gave it to him.
He don't talk, his eyes filled with gratitude. He tried to put the tears back, clip the newspaper, and left. Presumably he would be in a corner crying, did not reveal any feelings in life, it is brave to face life.
In life, you to pay a small step for the disabled, in his heart is established is a kind of belief. Take care of the disabled, they need us every moment of the day.
hi,
my topic today is: word that has changed the world
a word that has changed the world education of their children is highly valued by parents. to get education in the universities abroad has been the dreams for both the parents and their children. to realize these dreams, the parents have to save a large amount of money for the studies, because international flights cost a lot. in addition, the tuition abroad is not cheap. parents should also have to pay for the food, room and utilities for their children at the school abroad. the children also need some money for the entertainment and social events. the clothing will cost quite a little. besides, they need extra money to cover some unexpected expenses, like long-distance calls and so on.
all in all, the parents should check out how much the living and tuition will cost for their children to study abroad. they should get prepared in advance.
thank you .
“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!
