during his presidency, bill clinton seized important opportunities on issues from welfare to free trade. he was a tireless champion of peace in the middle east. he used american power in the balkans to confront aggression and halt ethnic cleansing. and in all his actions and decisions, the american people sensed a deep empathy for the poor and the powerless. shortly before leaving office, president clinton said, "christ admonished us that our lives will be judged by how we do unto the least of our neighbors." throughout his career, bill clinton has done his best to live up to that standard. and americans respect him for it. at every stage of his remarkable life, president clinton has made and kept countless friends, who share in the joy of this day. and three people in particular have the largest part in this remarkable story. one day more than 30 years ago, inside the yale law library, a fellow student walked over to bill clinton and said, "if you're going to keep staring at me, and i'm going to keep staring back, we ought to at least know each other's name. mine's hillary rodham. what is yours?"that was a good day for both of them, and the beginning of a partnership unique in american history. so today, we honor the former first lady of arkansas, the former first lady of america, the united states senator from new york, senator hillary rodham clinton.
perhaps the clintons' greatest achievement is their daughter, who moved into the white house as a young girl, and left as an accomplished young lady. it's not easy to be a teenager in the white house, but it's a lot easier when you have a loving mother and a loving father that chelsea clinton had.
this magnificent presidential library, and the american life it celebrates, would not have been possible without the love and sacrifice of a special lady. among his heroes, president clinton always includes his mother, virginia kelley, "a working woman and a widow." virginia was there when her son took the oath of office, and we know that she would be incredibly proud of this day.
the story that began in a little house on hervey street in hope, arkansas is the kind of story that inspires people from every background, all over america. in this great nation, it is always possible for a child to go as far as their talent and vision can take them. visitors to this place will be reminded of the great promise of our country, and the dreams that came true in the life of our 42nd president. the william j. clinton presidential library is a gift to the future by a man who always believed in the future. and today, we thank him for loving and serving america.
hello,everybody !it is my great honor to be here to share my idea with you.today,i will talk something about dream——a word that has changed the world.
“what do you think is the word that has really changed our world ”

martin luther king had a dream.he desired for a future where blacks andwhites would coexist harmoniously as equals.by speaking the way he did,heeducated,he inspired,he informed not just the people there,but people throughoutamerica and unborn generations.he pushed forward the pace of american blacksociety towards the racial equality .
thomas edison had a dream.he dreamed of a lamp that could be operated byelectricity,began where he stood to put his dream into action,and despite morethan ten thousand failures,he stood by that dream until he made it a physicalreality!and today,his dream lights up the world at night.
walt disney had a dream.this,in itself,wasn't unusual -- he was alwaysdreaming.he dreamed of making the first animated feature film,and of building anamusement park that parents could enjoy right along with their kids.walt disneyempowered his dream and today,disneyland,disney world and disney theme parksattract around the world thrill millions of visitors each and every year.
john f.kennedy had a dream.he wanted to land a man on the moon and returnhim safely to earth so as to restore faith in the american way of life.johnf.kennedy empowered his dream and 8 years later neil armstrong stepped on theface of the moon.the moon landing certainly gave americans new foundconfidence.
dream --- a word that has changed the world yes ,i would say so ,wouldn’tyou
youth is a special life relay station ,the growth with the worry ,the lifefeeling become aware happily with the dream ,collected a unique youth melody inhere .
we decide.we choose.and as we decide and choose,so are our lives formed.inthe end,forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.and most importantly,you are the one you choose to be.
it is easy to waste our lives ,our days ,our minutes .it is easy to existthan living .so hold fast to your dreams,for if dreams die,life is abroken-winged bird,that cannot fly.hold fast to your dreams,for when dreamsgo,life is a barren field,frozen with snow.
everybody will have failure.the failure is a successful mother, if there is no failure, that will not have results to show an achievement.really, the successful man is very happy, they own fresh flowers, applause.but the person, who fail, own of only have lonesome with unfrequented.in fact, we should go to more honorific is those person of[with] failures.because, there is failure, just have results to show an achievement.
fail don‘t mean you is a for failed, fail to just mean you haven‘t succeeded; fail don‘t mean you a have no become, fail to mean you get experience; fail don‘t mean you are a stupid person who don‘t know to improvise, failing to mean you have attic faith; fail don‘t mean you have to has been suppressing not and quickly, failing to mean you take pleasure in trying.......
this is the failure, precious failure.
每个人都会有失败.失败乃成功之母,如果没有失败,那就不会有成功.的确,成功的人很幸福,他们拥有鲜花,掌声.但失败的人,拥有的只有寂寞和冷落.其实,我们更加应该去尊敬的是那些失败的人.因为,有了失败,才有成功.
失败并不表示你是一为失败者,失败只是表示你尚未成功; 失败并不表示你一无所成,失败表示你得到经验; 失败并不表示你是一个不知变通的蠢人,失败表示你有坚定的信念; 失败并不表示你必须一直压抑不快,失败表示你乐意尝试.......
这就是失败,宝贵的失败.
failure is the mother of success. sometimes people have to cope with many mistakes and failures in order to reach the successful finals. while others might succumb to failure, they tend to retreat and give in their efforts. success often provides confidence and satisfaction, nevertheless failure companies with bitter, saddness, and suffering. it seems people have to learn through each experience, as success doesn't always falls from heaven.
i remembered i used to fail on my vocabury test when i was in high school. i had problem to memorize new words which got lloose each day. i almost decided to give up english, but was obliged to one of my neighbour classmates who kept on sending small sheet for me. in the end of the semester, i found i had finished my vocabulary book which became a work force in reading english. i then realized that a new word came and left our brains for several times. nobody is born as genius for success. success tends to arrive after a serial of trials and failures.
of course, success brings confidence and victory. but, life is not always easy and comfortable. there are more difficulties than eases in the real life. it is likely that we have to face some failures ahead. therefore, those who learn how to deal and endure failures will taste their success eventually.
failure is so common in our life. no one can avoid it. when we fail in doing something, we often feel so depressed that we have no interest in other things. sometimes failure can also make us lose heart. therefore, no one wants to be a failure.
success is what we all hope for, because it can bring us a sense of pride and a good reputation. the moment we succeed, we always feel so proud, as if having everything in our hands. if one enjoys his continuous success in his career, he will be famous and worshiped by others.
however, failure is the mother of success. one failure doesn’t mean you can never be successful. it depends on what we do to deal with failure. those who are always afraid of failure and can’t go through it will never win. but as long as we can get some lessons and experience from our failure, we’ll be sure to succeed.
失败是生活中是很常见的。没有人能避免失败。当我们做某事失败的时候，我们经常觉得很沮丧，而提不起兴趣去做其他的事情。有时失败会使我们丧失信心。所以，没有人想成为失败者。
成功是我们所希望的，因为它能够给我们带来的自豪感和良好的信誉。成功的那一刻我们都感到很自豪，就好像我们拥有了一切。如果一个人喜欢在他的职业生涯中不断取得成功，他就会出名，被别人崇拜。
不过，失败是成功之母。一次失败并不意味着你永远不能成功。这取决于我们如何面对失败。那些总是害怕失败，不能克服这个心理的人永远都不会成功。但只要我们能吸取教训，我们一定会成功的。
Life needs positive energy. A person’s life is a road with lots ofdifficulties and various negative emotions. Everyone will have the desperatetime. Positive energy can help us go through this period of time. For example, Iam sad about the exam yesterday. But an optimistic classmate encourages me tothink in a good way and comfort me. I can recover soon. But if she also is aspessimistic as me, I won’t have recovered so quickly. Maybe I will be sad for along time. There are many similar things happening in our life. To live a betterlife, we need positive energy.
生活需要正能量。人的一生是充满困难和各种负面情绪的一条路。每个人都有郁闷的时候。正能量可以帮助我们度过这段时期。例如，我为昨天考试的事而难过。但是一个乐观的同学鼓励我往好的方面想，安慰我。我可以很快地恢复过来。但是如果她也跟我一样悲观的话，我不可能这么快恢复心情的。也许我会伤心很久。在我们的生活中有很多这种类似的事情。为了生活得更美好，我们需要正能量。
A black boy in Wine factory guard oak his father. Every morning, he wipes a clean bucket, then the rows of neatly placed. Make him angry, often overnight, the wind took him neatly arranged barrel blown reel right and left.
The little boy was very sad and cried. The father touched the boy's head and said, "son, don't cry, we can find a way to conquer the wind"
The little boy sat on the edge of the barrel and wiped the tears to think, think for a long time has finally come up with a solution, he from the edge of the well choose a barrel and a barrel of water, then pour them into the empty barrel, and then he was very upset to go home to bed. For second days, just before dawn the little boy, hurriedly climb up, he ran to the place where the vats, the oak a are arranged neatly, no one was blown over by the wind, no one has been blown crooked. The little boy laughed, he said to his father: "to wooden barrels to be blown, will increase the weight of the bucket." the boy's father smiled approvingly.
Yes, we can not change the wind, the world can not change a lot of things, but we can change ourselves, to increase their own, so that we can adapt to change, not to be defeated!
transpositonal considerationGood afternoon, Ladies and Gentleman. Thanksfor raising your attention. Taday, I’ll give you a speechentitled“transpositonal consideration”.
Before starting my speech I would like to ask you a question! Have youheard the saying that What we cannot afford to lose is nothing but innovation.Yes, I have. I’ve always believed it is a truth.
I have heard that three apples changed the world. The first one seducedEve. The second one awakened Newton. The third one was in the hands of SteveJobs. We sort of think the innovation of the world began with apple.I imaginelots of people want to become another Newton or Jobs right now with just onehand to change the world, right? Have the innovation to follow your heart. Itsomehow already reflects what you truly want to become. Everything else issecondary.
Via question, we can start to innovate. Via innovating, we can start tocreate better life. No innovation, no improvement. No improvement, no success.And no success, no civilization.and the key to succssful innovation is always tobe persistant We try to innovate, maybe we would feel helpless, puzzled, andsad.
However, this is what we must experience. Don't let yourself down! It isinnovation that we cannot afford to lose! That’s all, Thank you!
everyone tries to achieve success in his/her career. but some finally attain their aims while others fail. why? some continue their cause to the end through long period of hard struggles， but others are easily disappointed and stop halfway.
strong will， perseverance and diligence are the three essentials of success. a man of strong will and perseverance always has an inflexible spirit. he sticks to his cause no matter how tough it might be. life is short and we have too much to do. without diligence no one can achieve anything.
i believe that where there is a will there is a way， and that success belongs to those who can make constant efforts.
don't be afraid of life. believe that life is worth living， and your belief will help create the fact
even though we're poor in knowledge, our thinking is infinite. maybe wewill make some great achievements because of our enthusiasm. whether we'reexperienced or not, it doesn't matter. enthusiasm will take us further anddeeper.
尽管我们知识匮乏，但我们的思维是无限的。因为我们的热忱也许我们会有很好的成就。不管我们是否经历过，都没有关系。热情会带我们走得更远更深入。
please remember, everyone is so talented, and no one is born stupid. sincethere's an old saying, “through a sand, we can see a world. in a flower, we canfind a heaven."
请记住，每个人都是很有才华的，没有人是天生愚蠢的。因为有句老话，“通过一粒砂，我们可以看到一个世界。通过一朵花，我们可以找到一个天堂。”
At a seminar, a famous speaker didn't speak a prologue, but he held a $20 bill in his hand
In the face of 200 people in the meeting room, he asked: "who wants this $20" one hand went up. Then he said: "I am going to put this $20 to one of you, but before that, please allow me to do one thing." he said the bill into a ball, and then asked: "who will" people are still held up his hand. He said: "so, if I do this" he threw the money on the ground, and set foot on one foot, and grinds it with the foot. Then he picked up the bill, the bill has become dirty wrinkled. "Now who also" there are still people who raised his hand. "My friends, you have a very interested The meaning of the class. No matter how I treat the money, you still wanted it because it did not fall, it is still worth $20. Life on the road, we will many times down by their own decision or encounter adversity, bullying or even grind to be smashed to pieces. We seem to feel worthless but no matter what happens. Or, what will happen, in the eyes of God, you will never lose your value. In his opinion, dirty or clean, neat clothing neat or not, you are still priceless "
Finally, I want to end today's speech with the words of Liang Qichao: "wisdom is wise young country, young are rich, junior strong Guoqiang, juvenile progress is progress in the country, juvenile male on earth, the country male on earth." let us spread a sweat, go all the way to drink, chewing with a hard, let it continues to burn under the red flag; let every young people embrace their ideals in life's journey to continue to ride the wind and waves to forge ahead!
How to Behave Well?
In order to build a civilized city, we students should try our best to behave well in the activities.
It's a good habit to keep our clothes clean and tidy. Our city should be kept clean every day. Don't throw litter or spit about. It's good manners to say "Thank you" and "Please" and so on. We should never say dirty words. Be friendly to others and always ready to help the people in need. For example, when we are on a bus, we should give our seats to the old and the women with babies. We should also obey traffic rules. When the traffic lights are red, we should stop. And we'd better not talk or laugh loudly in public.
If everyone behaves well, our city will be more beautiful and more attractive.
ladies and gentlemen, this is joe biden, i'm filling in for president obama, while he addresses the nato summit in wales.
when the president and i took office in january of , this nation was in the midst of the greatest economic crisis since the great depression. our economy had plummeted1 at a rate of 8% in a single quarter-part of the fastest economic decline any time in the last half century. millions of families were falling underwater on their homes and threatened with foreclosure. the iconic american automobile2 industry was under siege.
but yesterday's jobs report was another reminder3 of how far we've come. we've had 54 straight months of job creation. and that's the longest streak4 of uninterrupted job growth in the united states' history.
we've gone from losing 9 million jobs during the financial crisis to creating 10 million jobs. we've reduced the unemployment rate from 10% in october of to 6.1% today. and for the first time since the 1990s, american manufacturing is steadily5 adding jobs-over 700,000 since . and surveys of both american and foreign business leaders confirm that america once again is viewed as the best place in the world to build and invest.
that's all good news.
but an awful lot of middle class americans are still not feeling the effects of this recovery. since the year , gross domestic product-our gdp - has risen by 25%. and productivity in america is up by 30%. but middle class wages during that same time period have gone up by only fourteen cents.
folks, it's long past time to cut the middle class back into the deal, so they can benefit from the economic growth they helped create. folks, there used to be a bargain in this country supported by democrats6 and republicans, business and labor7. the bargain was simple. if an employee contributed to the growth and profitability of the company, they got to share in the profits and the benefits as well. that's what built the middle class. it's time to restore the bargain, to deal the middle class back in. because, folks, when the middle class does well, everybody does well-the wealthy get wealthier and the poor have a way up.
