励志英语演讲稿五分钟（通用27篇）
In fact, others will think you is what kind of person is not important, important is whether you sure myself. Others will think you is what kind of person is not important, important is whether you before someone else beat you, just lost to yourself!
No matter at what time, everyone must value yourself, before people sure you, you have to be sure of yourself!
Life is the most powerful enemy is yourself, the biggest challenge is to challenge ourselves.
Sure myself, is a triumph of the will.
To conquer yourself, is a kind of soul.
Control yourself, it is a kind of reason of success.
Create yourself, is a kind of psychological state of sublimation.
Beyond themselves, it is a kind of mature in life.
Who can sure, conquer yourself, control yourself, beyond themselves, have enough power to overcome all the difficult in career and life, all the setbacks, all misfortune.
Of course, we have to admit that is a weakness of human nature, in one's life to the most is overcome others, beyond the others, all things are to be better than others.

Good morning !
my great pleasure to share my dream with you today. my dream is to become a teacher....
As the whole world has its boundaries, limits and freedom coexist in our life. I don’t expect complete freedom, which is impossible. I simply have a dream that supports my life.
I dream that one day, I could escape from the deep sea of thick schoolbooks and lead my own life. With my favorite fictions, I lie freely on the green grass, smelling the spring, listening to the wind singing, breathing the fresh and cool air and dissolve my soul in nature at last. Simple and short enjoyment can bring me great satisfaction.
I dream that one day the adults could throw their prejudice of comic and cartoon away. They could keep a lovely heart that can share sorrow and happiness with us while watching cartoon or doing personal things. That’s the real communication of heart to heart.
I have the belief that my dreams should come true. I am looking forward to some day coming when I am like a proud eagle, which flies to the blue and vast sky.

早上好!
我很高兴今天与你分享我的梦想。我的梦想是成为一名教师……
由于整个世界都有它的界限，限制和自由在我们的生活中共存。我不期望完全的自由，这是不可能的。我只是有一个梦想，支持我的生活。
我梦想有一天，我可以摆脱厚厚的教科书，并导致深海我自己的生活。用我最喜欢的小说，我躺在草地上自由地躺在草地上，闻着春天的气息，听着风的歌声，呼吸着清新凉爽的空气，最后把我的灵魂溶解在大自然中。简单的和短期的享受可以给我带来极大的满足感。
我梦想有一天，成年人可以把他们的偏见的漫画和卡通了。他们可以保持一个可爱的心，可以与我们分享悲伤和快乐，而看卡通或做个人的事情。这是心与心的真正交流。
我相信我的梦想会成真。我期待着有一天的到来，当我像一只骄傲的鹰，飞向蓝色和广阔的天空。
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!
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.
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。
Look With into Find Happiness
How often do you hear people say“I will be happy when…”sucha s“When I get that thing，I will be happy .”“I will be happy when I pass the exam”and“I would be happy if I had more money”.I have heard these things before and I am sure that I will hear the magain.
Many people want to believe that finding happiness is all about finding or gettings omething that they want.However，not many people have ever foundlong-termhappiness bya chieving a goal.There will always bean other thing that they want.There will always bean other exam or another dollar.
To breakth is vicious cycle，we must find our happiness somewhereelse—with inourselves.In other words，happiness is pletely an inside job.The key to finding happiness is to understand that happiness is achoice rather than the resul to fan experience.We have be engiven everything
We need to be happy.Allow yourself to choose happiness.If l few asperfect，would you behappy?Life is perfect because we create it withour
choices.Since we can create life，we can create happiness and choose how much better our lives can get!
Only when we can accept that life is perfect as it is，and that our lives are the sum total of everything that has happened up to this moment，can we accept the joy and the happiness we deserve.
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.
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。
Distinguished judges, teachers, dear friends:
Hello, everyone! My name is cheng xiang yan , I am a junior student come from life science institution .Today, I am very glad to stand here and share with you my most sincere speech‘Flying youth, master our future!’
Life is a process of growing up. Saying goodbye to childhood, we step into another important time of life in the pace of young, facing new situations, dealing with different problems.....
However, who can really say what the youth is ? A period of time? A belief?An attitude to life? Or anything else? actually, everyone has his ownunderstanding of young, it is a period of time of beauty and wonders, only after you have experienced the sour , sweet ,bitter and salty, can you really become a person of significance.
Just like A famous poet said ‘ youth is a lovely song ,where nothing is impossible ,youth is a meaningful book, you’ll be never bored of it ;youth is a rapid river ,it keeps on flowing day and night ;youth is a cup of tea ,it shows you different kinds of tastes in your life.
As youth is so precious, of course, we must treasure it .Don’t let the limited time pass by, grasping the young will means a better time is waiting for you in the near future.
So,It’s necessary for us to prepare ourselves well for the future to come. having a view on those great men in the history of hunman being, they all made full use of their youth time to do things that are useful to society, to the whole mankind, and as a consequence ,they are remembered by later generations, admired by everyone. so do something in the time of young, although you may not get achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole world, just for youeself, for those around! So, what should we do when we are young? Here,I’ll point out some tips to help equip ourselves.
First of all,think of what you’d like to be some day. A teacher ? A doctor ? A writer? Don’t afraid of dreaming of big and great .Since you are young , you can dream of doing anything and becoming anyone in the future. What’s more , never ignore the power of knowledge. Read more books and travel around. For one thing, it can increase your knowledge, for another, it’ll broaden your horizon.
Last but not the least , stick to your dream. It easier said than done. After all, future is not all roses. young is just like blooming flowers, they are so beautiful when blooming, which make people feel happy, but with time passing by, after they withers ,most people think they are ugly. and so it is the same with young, we are enthusiastic when we are young, then we may lose our passion when getting older and older. So we should have enough courage and determination to overcome all the difficulties in struggling on the road.
I firmly believe one sentence that‘If you think you can, of course you can!’Just believe we can make it! Keep on walking towards our dream. Flying youth , master our future. From today, from now on , are you Ready ? That’s all. Thank you so much for your attention !
good morning, everyone:
my name is , a lovely boy of thirteen. i’m very glad to stand here andshare my dream with you.
different people have different dreams. some people dream of being rich orfamous and others dream of staying young for long. i also have a lot of dreams.but my dream is to become a lawyer.
if i were a lawyer in the future, i would serve our country first becausefrom tv, i learn the japanese seize our country’s islands. i can’t stand it whenthey even say these islands are theirs. so, i feel strongly that i must studyhard and get back diaoyu islands by law when i grow up.
if i were a lawyer in the future, i would serve people heart and soul. iwould offer free help for people in need.
if i were a lawyer in the future, i would let people live a happier life.of course, i know it’s difficult for me to achieve my dream now, but i’ll makeit by my hard working. come on. just do it!
that’s all. thanks for all your listening!
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.”
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 sixtymore than a boy of twenty.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We growold by deserting our ideals.
青春意味着战胜懦弱的那股大丈夫气概和摈弃安逸的那种冒险精神。往往一个60岁的老者比一个20岁的青年更多一点这种劲头。人老不仅仅是岁月流逝所致，更主要的是不思进取的结果。
When I was in middle school, I moved to the city to live with my parents, Imiss my hometown all the time, I can’t forget about the beautiful mountain andthe clear water. So in this summer vacation, I went back to my hometown, when Isaw the familiar country road, I was so happy, I knew I was close to the nature.I took in the fresh air, I smelt the straw’s flavor, I took a look at themountains and the clear water again. All of these made me relaxed, the naturewas right in front of me. I hope the scenery won’t change all the time, once Ihave time, I will come back to enjoy it.
however mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names. is not so bad as you are.it looks poorest when you are richest.the fault-finder will find faults in paradise.love your life,poor as it is.you may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house. the setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man‘s abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the
亲爱的老师,朋友们:
早上好!
无论是60岁还是16岁,你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心、永不熄灭的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事业成功的欢乐与热情.在你我的心底,有一座无线电台,它能在多长时间里接收到人间万物传递来的美好、希望、欢乐、鼓舞和力量的信息,你就会年轻多长时间.
An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first,narrowly contained within its banks,and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls.Gradually the river grows wider,the banks recede,the waters flow more quietly,and in the end,without any visible break,they become merged in the sea,and painlessly lose their individual being.
人的生命应当像河流,开始是涓涓细流,受两岸的限制而十分狭窄,尔后奔腾咆哮,翻过危岩,飞越瀑布,河面渐渐开阔,河岸也随之向两边隐去,最后水流平缓,森森无际,汇入大海之中,个人就这样毫无痛苦地消失了.
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 sixty more than a boy of twenty.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals.
青春意味着战胜懦弱的那股大丈夫气概和摈弃安逸的那种冒险精神.往往一个60岁的老者比一个20岁的青年更多一点这种劲头.人老不仅仅是岁月流逝所致,更主要的是不思进取的结果.
Years may 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.
光阴可以在颜面上留下印记,而热情之火的熄灭则在心灵上刻下皱纹.烦恼、恐惧、缺乏自信会扭曲人的灵魂,并将青春化为灰烬.
Thank you!
谢谢大家!
thank you.
thank you, president chen, chairmen ren, vice president chi, vice minister wei.
we are delighted to be here today with a very large american delegation, including the first lady and our daughter, who is a student at stanford, one of the schools with which beijing university has a relationship.
we have six members of the united states congress; the secretary of state; secretary of commerce; the secretary of agriculture; the chairman of our council of economic advisors; senator sasser, our ambassador; the national security advisor and my chief of staff, among others.
i say that to illustrate the importance that the united states places on our relationship with china.
i would like to begin by congratulating all of you, the students, the faculty, the administrators, on celebrating the centennial year of your university.
gongxi, beida.
(applause.)
as im sure all of you know, this campus was once home to yenching university which was founded by american missionaries.
many of its wonderful buildings were designed by an american architect.
thousands of americans students and professors have come here to study and teach.
we feel a special kinship with you.
i am, however, grateful that this day is different in one important respect from another important occasion 79 years ago.
in june of 1919, the first president of yenching university, john leighton stuart, was set to deliver the very first commencement address on these very grounds.
at the appointed hour, he appeared, but no students appeared.
they were all out leading the may 4th movement for chinas political and cultural renewal.
when i read this, i hoped that when i walked into the auditorium today, someone would be sitting here.
and i thank you for being here, very much.
(applause.)
over the last 100 years, this university has grown to more than 20,000 students.
your graduates are spread throughout china and around the world.
you have built the largest university library in all of asia.
last year, 20 percent of your graduates went abroad to study, including half of your math and science majors.
and in this anniversary year, more than a million people in china, asia, and beyond have logged on to your web site.
at the dawn of a new century, this university is leading china into the future.
i come here today to talk to you, the next generation of chinas leaders, about the critical importance to your future of building a strong partnership between china and the united states.
the american people deeply admire china for its thousands of years of contributions to culture and religion, to philosophy and the arts, to science and technology.
we remember well our strong partnership in world war ii.
now we see china at a moment in history when your glorious past is matched by your present sweeping transformation and the even greater promise of your future.
just three decades ago, china was virtually shut off from the world.
now, china is a member of more than 1,000 international organizations -- enterprises that affect everything from air travel to agricultural development.
you have opened your nation to trade and investment on a large scale.
today, 40,000 young chinese study in the united states, with hundreds of thousands more learning in asia, africa, europe, and latin america.
your social and economic transformation has been even more remarkable, moving from a closed command economic system to a driving, increasingly market-based and driven economy, generating two decades of unprecedented growth, giving people greater freedom to travel within and outside china, to vote in village elections, to own a home, choose a job, attend a better school.
as a result you have lifted literally hundreds of millions of people from poverty.
per capita income has more than doubled in the last decade.
most chinese people are leading lives they could not have imagined just 20 years ago.
of course, these changes have also brought disruptions in settled patterns of life and work, and have imposed enormous strains on your environment.
once every urban chinese was guaranteed employment in a state enterprise.
now you must compete in a job market.
once a chinese worker had only to meet the demands of a central planner in beijing.
now the global economy means all must match the quality and creativity of the rest of the world.
for those who lack the right training and skills and support, this new world can be daunting.
in the short-term, good, hardworking people -- some, at least will find themselves unemployed.
and, as all of you can see, there have been enormous environmental and economic and health care costs to the development pattern and the energy use pattern of the last 20 years -- from air pollution to deforestation to acid rain and water shortage.
a little kid fell in love with another little kid， a school mate。 sometimesthe kids think they fall in love when they have a crush on someone else in theclass， when they?re eight or ten years old or something like that。 so theeight-year-oldkid came back home and asked his father， “father， is it expensiveto be married?” and the father said， “yes， son， it is very expensive。” so theson asked， “how much does it cost?” and the father said， “i don?t know， son。 i?mstill paying。”
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!」
Youth has been praised by many people. They believe that it is the mostprecious time of one's lifetime, because youth stands for young age and energy.So we should cherish youth and do whatever we like. In my opinion, when we areyoung, the first thing we need to do is to fight for our future. So we spend alot of time studying and gain much knowledge. The store of knowledge helps ussolve all kinds of problems. When we have enough ability, we are no longerafraid of meeting difficulties. The second thing we need to do is to broaden ourvision. As we are young and full of energy, it is the best time to see morescenery. Don't wait for retirement to explore the world. What we see will makeus mature and stronger. Let's enjoy the beautiful youth.
青春一直都受到许多人的称赞，他们认为青春是一个人一生中最宝贵的时间，因为青春代表着年轻和活力。所以我们应该珍惜青春，做我们想做的事情。在我看来，年轻时候需要做的第一件事就是为我们的未来而努力。所以我们花了很多时间去学习、获得更多的知识。知识的储备可以帮助我们解决各种各样的问题。当我们能力足够强大的时候，就不再害怕困难了。我们需要做的第二件事就是扩大视野。因为我们年轻，充满活力，所以此时是的时间去看更多的风景，不要等到退休后才去探索世界。我们的所见所闻会让我们变得成熟和强大。让我们享受美好的青春吧。
What Is Success?
What is success? Different people hold views on This question. Some think that one is successful if he can make a great deal of money. Others argue that success means holding an important government post. Still others believe that whoever has got high academic title is successful. It is clear that there are quite different opinions on success.
In order to become successful, you should first of all be both perseverant and hardworking. As you know, whatever you do, there are always two possible results: success and failure. When you fail, you should never lose heart. On the contrary, you must build up your confidence and work even harder. You should always keep in mind that perseverance is the mother of success and industry is the key to it. In addition, you should pay great attention to your work method. It is necessary for you to sum up your experience constantly and improve the efficiency of your work. Finally, it is important for you to get along well with your co-workers, care for each other and help each other. If you follow these principles, you will certainly achieve remarkable success in the future.
In my opinion, success means achieving brilliant results in one’s work, that is, making outstanding contributions to the development of the country and bringing happiness to the people. So my conclusion is that even if one has made great progress in what he does, I don’t think there’s any reason for him to be conceited.
Good morning everyone!

a shepherd-boy， who tended his flock not far from a village， used to amusehimself at times in crying out"wolf !wolf!"twice or thrice his trick succeeded。the whole village came running out to his assistance when all the return theygot was to be laughed at for their pains 。at last one day the wolf came indeed。the boy cried out in earnest。 but his neighbors， supposing him to be at his oldsport， paid no heed to his cries， and the wolf devoured the sheep。 so the boylearned， when it was too late， that liars are not believed even when they tellthe truth。
一个放羊的孩子在离村子不远的地方放羊。他为了开心寻乐常喊:"狼来了!狼来了!"他的恶作剧有两三次到达了目的。全村的人都跑来帮忙，而他们所得到的回报却是一顿嘲笑，白费了心力。最后，有一天狼真的来了。这个孩子认真地大喊起来。但是他的邻人们却以为他又在耍把戏，谁都不理会他的喊叫，于是狼把羊吃了。因此这牧童得到了教训:爱说谎的人，甚至在他说真话的时候，也没人相信他，但是他明白得太晚了。
“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.

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”.
The sun has begun to set and I hang up the smile I’ve worn all day, thoughI will make sure it is the first thing I put back on in the morning just in caseit is “that day.” I want her to see me at my very best.
I do the normal routine, eat dinner, clean the house, write—the usualstuff. And then I lay down hoping to fall asleep quickly so my new day willhurry up and arrive. A new day with a brand new sun. But as I lay there and waitfor the world to turn half way around, I think about her. And sometimes I smile,and sometimes that smile will turn into asnicker, and then often that snickerwill turn into a burst of laughter.
And then there are times I get that lump in my throat and that tightfeeling in my chest, and sometimes that feeling overwhelms me and begins to turninto a tear, and often that tear multiplies itself and I can no longer fight thefeeling and I lose the battle. Then somehow through either the joy or thesadness I drift and find myself asleep. Then the dreams begin and keep mecompany until my new day arrives.
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.”
What would you say when you are under work pressure, "stressed out andfrantic" or "challenged and energized"? There is very little physiologicaldifference between the two, says a growing contingent of experts who claim worksstress has an upside. These experts believe that stress can strengthen you ortear you down. In most cases, you can choose.
Give stress a good name why recent work stress -- it's an indicator thatyour career is advancing. Think of a heavy work load as an exciting opportunityto push yourself, learn new skills and show your mettle. Complaining depletesyour energy; instead greet an overloaded day with optimism. Tell yourself, "Thisis a challenge i am capable of handling."
Put it in perspective sometimes it's impossible to talk about the positiveside of stress -- say your computer crashes and you lose valuable work -- butyou can moderate your reaction. Rate your distress on a scale of 1 to 10, 1being mild irritation and 10 extreme panic or anger.
Now, rank the importance of the situation from 1 ( a notice )to 10 ( you'refired ). If your distress ranks higher than the seriousness of the situation,ask yourself: Is this something i will remember in four years, four months, fourdays? Then downshift your response accordingly, saving your emotinal energy fordisasters.
当你受到工作压力的时候，你会说些什么，是“快受不了了，要发疯了”还是“很有挑战性呀”?越来越大比例的专家认为工作压力有其积极的一面，他们认为，本质上，上述两种说法的区别不大。这些专家相信，压力要么可以让你更有力量，要么可以把你打垮。多数情况下，你是有得选的。
如果我们要给工作压力起个好听的说法的话，可以说它说明了你的工作在进步。把大的工作量作为一种推动你自己向前、学习新技能、展示你的精神风貌的好机会。抱怨只会让你精疲力竭，相反，应以乐观的态度对待每日重工作。对自己说：“这个问题，我能搞定。”
有时候，你可能找不出压力有什么好处，比如电脑突然坏掉了，你失业了，但这时候，你可以舒缓自己的情绪。把自己的沮丧分个级，从1到10，1是微怒，10是极度恐慌或暴怒。
现在再把所面临的状况按重要性分个级，从1到10，1是接到一个临时通知，10是你被炒鱿鱼了。如果你的沮丧程度比所面临问题和重要性要高的话，那就问问自己：这些事情我还要记多久?四年?四个月?四天?因此别做出太激动的反应了，省省力量以面对将来更为严重的问题。
