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.
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.

这是我很高兴能够分享我的梦想与你今天.
我的梦想是成为一名教师.
你知道作为一个教师，是一个东西，这是非常宝贵的，非常有趣.我认为它必须是一个伟大的乐趣与子女所有.如果我是一名教师，我可以教我的学生很多知识.他们可能会成为强大和聪明，因为我了.这是一个非常知足的感觉.
中国是一个发展中国家.中国人是不是优秀，在他们的智能.所以老师在中国可能非常非常重要的.他们可以提供社会了不少成功的人，使中国成为更美好的地方.
你认为我有一个很好的梦想，我将努力工作，使我的梦想变成真!
For China, still more challenges exist. How are we going to ensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a market-based one? How to construct a legal system that is sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a dynamic society? How to maintain our cultural identity in an increasingly homogeneous world? And how to define greatness in our rise as a peace-loving nation? Globalization entails questions that concern us all.
Like many young people my age in China, I want to see my country get prosperous and enjoy respect in the international community. But it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just enough. It is vitally important that we young people do more serious thinking and broaden our mind to bigger issues. There might never be easy answers to those issues such as globalization, but to take them on and give them honest thinking is the first step to be prepared for both opportunities and challenges coming our way. This is also one of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech.
“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.

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”.
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.
She may have lacked a home, but now this teen has top honors.
A 17-year-old student who spent much of high school living bouncing around homeless shelters — and sometimes sleeping in her car — today graduated as valedictorian of her class at Charles Drew High School in Clayton County, Ga., just outside of Atlanta.
她也许是个无家可归的孩子，但是现在这个女孩拥有至高无上的荣誉。
这个17岁的学生高中大部分时间都住在收容所，有时还得睡在车里。她就读于位于亚特兰大佐治亚州克莱顿县的查尔斯德鲁高中，今天作为所在班级的毕业生代表光荣毕业，并在毕业典礼上致告别辞。
Chelsea Fearce, who held a 4.466 GPA and scored 1900 on her SATs despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night,“I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on mats on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said in a speech she gave at her graduation ceremony.
Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day.“I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore,” she told WSBTV.
这位叫切尔西-菲尔斯的女孩高中绩点4.446，并在SAT考试中拿到1900分。高中期间，晚上收容所熄灯后她只能在用手机来学习，“我知道自己越来越强大。我无家可归。我的家人都睡在地板的垫子上，如果幸运的话，每天可以不止饱餐一顿。淋浴、食物和干净的衣服，这些对于我来说都是可望而不可及的，”菲尔斯在毕业演讲时说道。
菲尔斯靠着对未来更好生活的向往克服了每天的困难。“我告诉自己不要放弃，因为未来会更好”，她对WSBTV新闻网的记者表示。
One of five children, Fearce's family sometimes had an apartment to live in, but at other times had to live in homeless shelters or even out of their car, if they had one.
“You’re worried about your home life and then worried at school. Worry about being a little hungry sometimes, go hungry sometimes. You just have to deal with it. You eat what you can, when you can.”
菲尔斯家里一共有5个孩子，有时一家人还有公寓可以住，但有时不得不住在流浪收容所甚至车里(如果有车的话)。
“你要担心家庭生活，甚至在学校的时候也会。还要担心有时会挨点饿，有时会很饿。你只能这样，有吃的.时候就赶快吃。”
Miraculously, Fearce overcame the odds and even tested high enough to enroll in college classes half way through her high school career. She starts college next year at Spelman College as a junior where she is planning to study biology, pre-med.
“Don’t give up. Do what you have to do right now so that you can have the future that you want,” Fearce said.
菲尔斯奇迹般地克服了这种困境，甚至在高中才上到一半的时候就取得了足以进入大学的成绩。明年她就将作为一名大学新生就读于斯贝尔曼学院，开始大学生活，她计划在医学预科学习生物。
“不要放弃。现在就做你应该做的，这样你就会拥有梦想中的未来。”菲尔斯说。

just follow the suggestions here today.
God gives us the same precious life, but give us different life attitudes and strange life forms. High overhead, someone domination; Someone beneath humble, yes. Some clever perspicacity, fame; Someone intelligent, life doing nothing. The world because of the variety show is rich, because different society and with the color.
Maybe your mind isn't agile, talent is inferior to others; Maybe your clothes, simple than others luxurious riches and honor; Maybe you are born in poverty, compared with others is famous for the door... If you're just being a member of the ordinary, in everything that makes you almost did not dare to face, then you are in the strong tall in the shadow of pain, since unwilling to mediocrity, or out of the darkness, looking for a piece of sunshine for yourself? Pain is the shadow of the pessimist, kind-hearted optimists will deliberately turned, look for to belong to own a piece of bright sunshine. As Chekhov said, the dog will shout loudly!
Our life is very ordinary, ordinary like a stone, not smooth on the surface of the mei-yu, cannot reflect the crystal brilliant charming luster. But we should not also can't so deny yourself, because we all have god to mankind, have innate tenacity and penetrate into the bone marrow of tough, how can because the mei-yu, the existence of the crystal and feel inferior? We must live for themselves. Live out their own color, not because the light of others masked humbled himself.
It is the road you take that decides your destiny but not your destiny that decides the road you take.
The question is: Are you satisfied with who you are? Are you doing what you are capable of doing? Do you get excited about what you are going to do when you get up in the morning? It is high time you asked these questions that reflect the truth about your life. More often than not we have the ability to achieve much greater things, but we get caught in the average things in life and waste our potential. Each one of us has immense ability. But most of us fail to use it. Why?
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!

Dear leaders and teachers:
Good morning!
"Youth" in the history of the history of the Han Dynasty, the original intention of the spring, that is, the beginning of a year. Now, a symbol of youth blooming vitality and vigor, infinite passion and dream and unremitting struggle and enterprising, at the same time, the youth also means sentimental, immature and ignorant, we only set a correct world outlook, outlook on life and value view, can in the long life journey grasp the right direction. Life rushed for decades, perishable years, gradually old youth, Mo lightly, white young head, empty mournful "adage moment in the haunted, time waits for no man, exactly young students, since when run, enthusiasm betting to his career, selfless offer sacrifice" magic "for the youth to depict the most gorgeous color mosaic, let youth in the dedication of burning out the most dazzling fireworks.
Doctors and teachers, two holy and glorious career, childhood I Huaichuai favor the two ideal difficult trade-offs, and now I want to thank fate, let me from medical school after graduation to become a teacher can have their cake and eat it. When I first station in three feet of speaking in front of, facing both knowledge of eyes and sacred mission feeling arises spontaneously, I clearly know "the teacher, proselytizes instructs dispels doubt" the profound meaning, Han Yu will preach on the first, is to tell us as a good teacher, first of all, we should pay attention to the cultivation of student's personality, cultivate first then teach and not scripted the written knowledge cramming plug to the students is accomplished by. Especially as a teaching of medical courses teachers, I always put "health system, life entrusted" the oath of a medical student engraved in the heart, this simple eight word, as a medical worker, the expression of incisively and vividly, and my duty is to cultivate medical ethics, medicine, has the sense of responsibility of the three talent.
Youth is charming, many people
