Good morning,dear teacher and my friends.
It’s a very intresting topic today.
I think my dad was a hero for me when i was a young child. we'd go fishing, walks, and other fun things for a kid.
Every child has a good and great father, and so do i. my dad played a very important role in my daily life——exactly speaking, in my past 16 years.
My father always stands in the center of my life， from past till now and possibly in the future.
My family was rather poor when i was in my childhood. we didn't have our own house and had to live in a shabby， small room rented from my father's factory. the room was so small that there was little space for people to walk. i didn't have my own bed and had to sleep with my parents. this is terrible both for my parents and me.
But father made this all different!he works very hard on his own business, now we have our own 2 housese,surly,i have my own room.and he take our family so much happiness, richer and richer.
When i was little, i did everything with my dad. you could always find me sitting on his knee or walking and doing everything with him. every night he would read me a bed time story and make the voices of each character.
I learnt a lot from my daddy. i learnt to never take things to seriously and to always smile.
Like many other fathers, my dad and i also has generation gap. he is not good at or even can’t work the computer. so when i sitting at the computer desk,he will say something like ‘you should pay more attention to your study’， ‘don’t waste time on the computer games’ , ‘it will be bad for your eyes’ and so on. how can i- a computer fan – reduce time on computer? so i continue studying and playing on it
Years pasted, my father is over 45 now. it is time for me to look after him and i am sure i will do and we will live an even better life. and i will say,i really love you dad,cause you are the hero in my mind.
Thank you so much!
“树欲静而风不止，子欲养而亲不待。”想必这句名言大家已经不陌生了。可见，亲情对我们很重要。
假如这个世界没有阳光、水源，没有父母，没有亲情，那么世界会变成什么样子呢?没有阳光，就没有温暖;没有水源，就没有生命;没有父母，当然就没有我们自己;没有亲情、友情，世界就会是一片孤独和黑暗。这些道理很浅显，但是生活中，我们在理所当然地享受着这些的时候，却常常少了一颗感恩的心。
中国的文化传统让我们很难从口中说出“妈妈我爱你”或“爸爸我爱你”，然而，这不应该是借口，鸦有反哺之意，羊有跪乳之恩，不懂感恩就失去了爱的感情基础。所以，学会感恩，感谢父母的养育之恩，感谢老师的教诲之恩，感谢朋友的帮助之恩，感恩一切善待帮助自己的人甚至感恩给我们所经历的坎坷。
我不会忘记不久前的一件事情。那天我和同学逛街，一个四五岁的小男孩，从前面跑了过来。因为已经是冬天，羽绒服把小男孩撑得圆嘟嘟的，像个小皮球滚动了过来。他向我问路，我指引给他之后，他高高兴兴的又跑开了。我和同学就又往前走，走出大约几十米远时，听见小男孩在后面“姐姐——姐姐”的叫我。我不知道他要干什么，便站在那里等他，看着他一脑门汗珠地跑我面前，就气喘吁吁地说：“我刚才忘记给你说声谢谢了，妈妈让我来向你说谢谢。”我不会忘记那个孩子和那位母亲，他们让我学会永远不要忘记感恩，即便是陌生人的微不足道的帮助。
然而父母养育了我们，给予我们的爱无微不至、关怀备至。俗话说：点滴之恩，当涌泉相报，更何况父母为我们付出的不仅仅是“一滴水”，而是一片汪洋大海。父母就是上苍赐予我们不需要任何修饰的心灵寄托。
当我们遇到困难时，能倾听我们烦恼的，是父母。当我们受到委屈时，能倾听我们倾诉的，是父母。
当我们犯了错误时，能毫不犹豫原谅我们的，是父母。
当我们取得成功时，会衷心为我们庆祝，与我们分享喜悦的，是父母。
亲情是什么也不能替代的，我们是从父母身上掉下来的肉，那是血浓于水的，是什么也不能改变的。
生活并非想象中的那么完美，父母的辛劳是我们无法体会的，我们虽不能与父母分担生活的艰辛，创业的艰难，但我们不要忘记忘记对父母说声“您歇会吧”。我们也许会记得人生道路上帮助我们的朋友，也许会记得辛勤培养我们的老师，但我们更应该记得父母，永远是我们值得感谢的人。
感恩父母，希望全天下的父母一切都好!
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.
