简单励志英语演讲稿(通用33篇)
Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them.They'll say, "This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it."
Of course not!
You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not onany other external factors.
I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because shehas done everything she can to improve it.
Guess what her lifestyle is?
She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chatswith people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routinary cycleensues.
Huh?!? Is this what she calls "doing her best?"
She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart thatthis is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can onlychange if God wills it.
Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but wehave to do our share of exerting the effort to live the life of our dreams.
You reap what you sow.
You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from thesky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get yourhands off the phone (unless it contributes to your success), and get your mindand body to work!
If your life is not meant the way you want it to be, don't just say: "Ourtime will come." or "Things will get better some day."
Don't expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. Ifsomething goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it asfeedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something toresolve the problem.
It's not enough to think positive; you also have to act positive.
If someone's life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things willturn out fine? Of course not! You got to do anything you can to save theperson.
So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but youhave to DO your best.
In other words, don't just stand (or sit) there, do something to improveyour life!
许多人认为人应该认命接受生活跑给自己的一切。他们会说:“这就是我的命运,是命中注定的。要改变它我无能为力。”
当然不是这样!
你不必委曲求全。你的命运取决于你自己,而不是其他外在的因素。
我认识的一个人说她只不过是接受生活所给予的一切,因为她已经尽全力去改善生活了。
大家猜猜她过的是一种怎样的生活?
她早上醒来,去上班,回家,休息,和别人聊天,看电视,然后上床休息。第二天,这种生活重复循环着。
哈,这就是她所谓的“竭尽全力”?
她认为她已经尽了力,在心里接受了这种想法,即这就是上帝为她安排的生活,只有上帝愿意,她的运气才会改变。
当然,上帝希望我们幸福快乐,生活圆满,但我们也要尽力为过上我们梦想的生活而努力。
一份耕耘,一份收获。
你不能坐着不动,巴望着天上会掉下百万美元来。你必须从沙发起身,把眼睛从电视屏幕移开,放下手中的电话--除非它有助于你获得成功,然后全身心投入工作中!
如果你的生活并不称心如意,不要只说:“我们的时机会来的。”或“总有一天情况会好转的。”
别指望运气会改变,除非你对其有所行动。如果出现问题,不要紧紧将其视为暂时的挫败,而是把它当成是一种反应。吸取教训,充分利用当时的情况,并采取行动来解决问题。
积极地思考是不够的,你还需要积极地行动。
如果某个人的生活陷入麻烦,你只是希望和祈祷事情好转起来吗?当然不是。你应该尽你所能去解救这个人。
对于自己的生活也是这样。仅仅抱有乐观的态度是不够的,而是要尽力做到最好。换句话说,不要只是站(坐)在那儿,要行动起来改善你的生活!
Today is Saturday, I don’t need to go to school, so I decided to take somemorning exercises. Early in the morning, I went out of the house and lookedaround, the city was so quiet. With few cars, the air was fresh, I felt socomfortable. Besides the people who took the morning exercise, I found somepeople who worn the orange uniform, they were working. This was the first timefor me to see the cleaners work in the morning, they were easily neglected,because they worked so early and when the time for people to go to work,cleaners rested. Watching these cleaners working, I feel so thankful for them,they were doing the greatest job. People praised them as the city’s dressers,they kept the city clean all the time and brought comfort to people. They arethe respectable people, we should applause for them.

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!
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。

成功对于不同的人来说意义不同。一些人将它等同于声望,有人将它等同于财富另一些人将它等同于成就。对我来说,成功意味着完成一个人的梦想。不管你的梦想是什么,你有一个目标并且为之倾注心力。梦想带给你希望和幸福。在为之奋斗的过程中,你流泪,流汗,抱怨甚至诅咒,但是收获的快乐会令你忘却着所有你所经历的痛苦与艰辛。所以一句老话说最甜蜜的果实是在最艰苦的奋斗后得来的。
这里有一些成功的秘诀。首先,你的目标必须现实可行。如果你制定的目标太高,你也许会永远无法达到。再者,又必须为之制定计划。你可以分步骤地实现他。因为过程将是艰苦的,你必须勤奋,耐心,坚持不懈。即使你遇见了困难与挫折,也要将之克服。你要总是告诉自己没有什么事不能克服的。带着这样的决心,成功必然在道路的尽头等着你。
I enter tile university after years of hard study and preparation. But life in the university is not as satisfactory as what I had expected. I become lazy and don't want to study.I become silcent. I become puzzled. I don't know what I can do in the future. Then I become unhappy.
Four years in the university is only a short period when compared my whole lifetime. Now it has passed a half. In this year, many people ,such as my parents,my friends, ask me what I want to do and tell me to map out a plan for my life. I don't want to follow their suggestion, and I want to go my style. So I think carefully. I have been a young volunteer(志愿者) for five years.It's very happy and significant. Then I have a dream.I want to join the University Student Volunteers Go West Programe. I think I can be a teacher in the west.I want to try my best to help them and help me. I want to see the world cearly. Now I can't reach its demand and it's very diffcult,but I will work hard in the next two years. There is an old saying"where there is a will,there is a way.(有志者事竟成)"I think my dream can come ture.Now in the university I mature,and in the university I prepare for the real world.
At last,I want to say to everybody"Hlod fast to your dreams,no matter how big or small they are.The path to dreams may not be smooth and wide,even some sacrifices are needed.But hold on to the end,you can find there is no geater happiness than making your dream come ture."
译文:
我进入瓦大学经过多年的艰苦学习和准备。但大学的生活并不像我所期望的那样令人满意。我变得懒惰,不想学习。我成为silcent。我变得困惑。我不知道我将来能做什么。然后我变得不快乐。
四年在大学只是一个短暂的时间相比,我的一生。现在已经过去了一半。在这一年里,许多人,如我的父母,我的朋友,问我想做什么,并告诉我制定一个计划,我的生活。我不想按照他们的建议,我想去我的风格。所以我仔细地思考。我是一个年轻的志愿者(志愿者)五年。很高兴和意义。然后我有一个梦想,我想加入大学生志愿者去西部计划。我想我可以成为一名在西方的老师,我想尽力帮助他们,帮助我。我想清楚地看世界。现在我不能达到其要求,这是非常困难的,但我会在接下来的两年的努力。俗话说:“凡有意愿,有办法。(有志者事竟成)“我想我的梦想可以成真。现在在大学我成熟了,在大学我准备真实的世界。
最后,我想对大家说“紧紧地抓住你的梦想,不管他们多么大或小。梦想的道路不可能一帆风顺和广泛,甚至一些牺牲是必要的,但到最后,你会发现没有大的幸福比让你的梦想成真。“
tom is a little boy,and he is only seven years old。 once he goes to acinema。 it is the first time for him to do that。 he buys a ticket and goes in。but after two or three minutes he es out,and buys the second ticket and goes inagain。 after a few minutes he es out again and buys the third ticket。 two orthree minutes after that he es out and asks for another ticket。 but a girl askshim,“why do you buy so many tickets? how many friends do you meet?” “no,i haveno friends here,but a big woman always stops me at the door and cuts up myticket。”
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。
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:
第一条:每个人对年轻都有自己的理解,年轻是一段美丽和奇迹的时期,只有在你经历了灵魂的酸甜苦辣之后,你才能真正成为一个有意义的人。年轻的时间是有限的,它可能在你的注意之下流逝,当你发现发生了什么时,总是为时已晚。抓住年轻意味着更好的时光在不久的将来等待着你,或者情况可能相反。
纵观人类历史上的这些伟人,他们都充分利用了自己的青春,做了一些对社会、对全人类有益的事情,因此,他们被后人铭记
所以,在年轻的时候做点什么吧,尽管你可能不会像这些伟人那样取得成就,尽管不是为了全世界,只是为了你自己,为了周围的人!
年轻人就像盛开的花朵,他们盛开时是如此美丽,他们让人感到快乐,但随着时间的推移,他们枯萎后,人们认为他们是丑陋的。年轻也是如此,我们年轻时充满热情,那么我们可能会随着年龄的增长而失去激情。不要让有限的时间流逝,留下任何有意义的东西。
第二部分:有人说“我们正在读一本书的第一章的第一节,这本书的页数是无限的”。我不知道这些话是谁写的,但我一直喜欢用它们来提醒自己,未来可以是我们想要的任何样子。我们都处在农民的位置上。如果我们种下好种子,我们会有好收成。如果我们什么也不种,我们什么也不会收获。
我们还年轻。“青春怎么度过?”这是一个有意义的问题。要回答这个问题,首先我要问“你对青春这个词的理解是什么?”青春不是人生的一段时间,而是一种精神状态。这不是玫瑰色的脸颊、红色的嘴唇或柔软的膝盖的问题。这是遗嘱的问题。这是生命深泉的清新。
一位诗人说:“从一粒沙子看到一个世界,从一朵野花看到一个天堂,把握在你手心里的就是无限,永恒也就消融于一个时辰。”。几天前,我有机会听了一个讲座。我在那里学到了很多东西。我想和大家分享一下。让我们伸出右手。我们可以看到三条线显示我们的爱情、事业和生活是怎样的。我的生命很短暂。你的呢?我想知道我们是否可以这样看待我们的未来。好吧,让我们握紧拳头。我们的未来在哪里?我们的爱情,事业,生活在哪里?告诉我。是的,它在我们手中。它在我们自己心中。
我们都希望未来比过去更好。但是未来会变得更好。不要因为结束而哭泣,微笑吧,为你的曾经拥有。从过去,我们知道生活是艰难的,但我们更坚强。我们已经知道,我们不能选择我们的感受,但我们可以选择如何去感受。失败并不意味着你没有,而是意味着你应该换一种方式去做。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,“我们正在读一本书第一章的第一节,这本书的页数是无限的”。过去已经过去了。我们做什么都改变不了。但是未来就在眼前。相信我们给世界什么,世界也会给我们什么。从今天开始,让我们成为自己的主人,大声说出“我们是世界,我们是未来。”
第三部分:学生青春励志英语演讲,死亡飞翔我们的公务生活是一场梦,从着陆的那一刻起,我们就是即将到来的梦!同样,我们在离开这个世界的时候,也会带着自己的梦想离开。在梦的召唤下,我们逐渐长大,思想逐渐成熟,学得越来越多,懂得越来越多。
我们的梦想也越来越充实,越来越丰富。一个人不能忘记那本书的书名《白天穿山越海》;没有忘记那一段苦乐共存的'岁月;别忘了,多一点认真,多一点尊敬的导师的教导......
面对过去,我们打开自己的思想和心灵之门,沐浴在阳光中接受和倾听规劝的时候,我们放飞梦想。是实现长远愿景的基石;梦想是积蓄力量的开始;梦的世界是理性的必要条件;梦想齐家国家的前提是世界是平的。
为此,尊重伦理,教育可以明确负责,爱。我们将随时准备好......
公鸡的啼鸣冲破了黎明的寂静,唤醒了青春的梦想,老灯那盏不灭的明灯,借助一个柔弱的好打理的轻重的行囊,踏上了新的征程开始了。东方初升的太阳,留下一串串依恋故土的足迹,是情怀和放弃。再见,亲爱的土地,我们有我们的梦想,我们都需要面对新的。
命运的舵已经掌握在自己手中,走着自己的路线。相信自己,你努力了,天黑后一定是晴朗的。做时间的主人,为了每一秒,当船艰难起航,你准备好了吗?展现你的风采,创造辉煌的明天。说天空没有留下鸟儿的痕迹,但我已经过去了。是一只鹰,就要飞过天空,是一棵树,就要铸造一个时代,去飞翔的勇气,去投入的勇气,放飞你的梦想,相信你的明天会更辉煌,你的明天会更精彩。
珍惜现在,应该把握机会。
朋友们,放飞现在的梦想,让我们相聚在那一天的荣耀里。
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.
过失和错误让我们辨别是非,帮助我们前进。错误是伟大的老师。成功总是眷顾那些敢于冒着犯错的危险去追求他们的目标和理想,并善于从错误中吸取教训的人。为了从过失中吸取教训,你必须愿意为之付出代价。
错误可能具有巨大的价值,但是如果你想让别人来为你的错误付出代价,那你就丧失了从错误中学习的机会。当出了差错时,去责备他人总是很容易的。但是那又有什么用呢?
错误的价值在很大程度上体现为人们必须为所犯的错误付出代价。从错误中学到最多的那个人就是为之付出代价的人。
当你犯错时,你最不应该做的事情就是逃避错误。你需要接受这个事实,因为你可以从中吸取很多教训。既然已经犯了错误,就最大限度地利用它。付出代价、得到教训并成长得更加坚强。
当你犯错时,不要总放在心上。记住犯错的原因,然后向前看。犯错是智慧的课程。过去无法改变。现在仍在你的手中。利用好你的错误,来实现你的目标和理想。
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.
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.”

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。

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 whats next and the joy of the game of living . in the center of your heart and my heart theres a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .

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。
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。

experienced the sour ,sweet ,bitter and salty can you really become a person of time of young is limitted,it may pass by without your attention,and when you discover what has happened ,it is always too ping the young well means a better time is waiting for you in the near future,or the situation may be opposite .
having a view on these great men in the history of hunmanbeing,they all made full use of their youth time ,to do things that are useful to society,to the whole mankind,and as a cosquence ,they are remembered by later
generations,admired by do something in the time of young,although you may not get achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole word,just for youeself,for those around!
the young is just like blooming flowers,they are so beautiful when blooming,they make people feel happy,but with time passing by,after they withers ,moet people think they are so it is the same with young,we are enthusiastic when we are young,then we may lose our passion when getting older and we must treasure it ,don't let the limitted time pass by ,leaving nothing of significance.

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。
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.

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!

Let us in the old man's urging, time on the cornerstone of hard to build the palace life brilliant!
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I’m very happy to be making a speechhere. Today my topic is “Tomorrow will be better. ”
China born and China bred, I love China very much. I’m proud that I havegot the beautiful yellow skin, black eyes and black hair. I’m also proud that Ispeak the most beautiful language in the world——Chinese. When I heard thatChina, our motherland, would have a chance to hold the 20__ Olympic Games, Ifelt very happy and excited, and I hoped I could do something useful to buildChina into a beautiful and energetic country.
In the 21st century, the environment is becoming more and more important,so we have "Green Olympic" as a slogan. Of course a slogan is just a goal. Themost important thing is that we should do some things to make it true. Such assorting the trash, saving the energy and so on. We are still students now, so wecan't do anything really big, but if everybody does something good for ourenvironment, we could make our motherland more beautiful.
In fact, the things we can do are easy. Like not littering used batterieseverywhere, sorting the trash that we want to throw away, and also protectingthe animals and plants around us.
Luckily, I had a chance to take part in an activity, that is, we planted 5trees everybody in our campus. My classmates and I worked very hard. Thisactivity is not only about planting trees, but also contributing to ourenvironment. Look at the trees, I believe, tomorrow there will be more trees andflowers standing in our campus and giving Chinese people a beautifulenvironment.
We are all Chinese people, living on the earth. We have only onemotherland——China, just like we have only one earth. If we don't beautify ourenvironment, who will? Good environment depends on good human consciousness. Weshould say that protecting our surroundings is not easy, that's why I'm standinghere to summon people do it.
If we do this from the bottom of our hearts tomorrow, China will be morebrilliant, it will have blue skies, white clouds and cleaner rivers. Who doesn'twant China to become more and more beautiful? If we do our best, tomorrow willbe better!
Thank you for your listening! Thank you all!
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.

在我家的餐桌抽屉里,藏着几根蜡烛。它们曾用于浪漫的晚餐和特殊场合,但随着我三个孩子的诞生,它们被遗忘在餐巾纸和其他杂物中。如今,这些蜡烛默默地等待着被取出来,被点燃,与那些愿意花时间感受它们温暖的人分享光亮。它们渴望着有机会再次发出温暖的光芒。
我们的灵魂就像蜡烛一样,渴望着被人们发现,希望能够散发出光芒。我们默默地等待着那个发光的时刻;我们每个人都拥有自己独特的闪耀之处,无人能及。
蜡烛是由燃烧的蜡和蜡芯结合而成的。人类有肉体存在,但我们的.本质却存于精神和灵魂之中。每支蜡烛都有其独特的颜色、形状和图案。我们人生的历史和经验构成了我们的背景,然而只有我们内心的火焰才能让热情燃烧起来。不同于那些等待他人点燃的蜡烛,在我们自己的思想中,我们可以决定自己是发光还是黯淡无光。
你内心的那束蜡烛是否因为周遭环境或者缺乏激情而失去了光芒?它是否被隐藏在压力、担忧和怨恨的角落里?做出抉择,以自己独特的方式重新点亮它吧。
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。

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.

学生、来宾、老师和尊敬的评委
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。
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”.
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.
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.
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
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”。
