We, leaving ignorance ushered in our h, let us unbridled,relaxed, appreciate the wind that freedom, feel the cloud that comfortable,because youth gives us the peak of life, we do not need to mature, we are nolonger ignorant, we only tive energy in ng energyhelps me to support a firm belief, so that I am full of confidence in achallenging tomorrow.
Life is the pursuit of ideal, ideal is the indicator of life, lost the roleof the lamp, will lose the courage of efore, only by adhering to thelofty ideals of life, will not be lost in the sea of toy will be theideal of life is divided into a lifetime of ideal, the ideal of a stage, theideal of a year, the ideal of a month, even the ideal of a day, an hour, you hear this, students, do you think of your ideal?
Whose youth is not sad? Whose youth never want to give up? Who's youthwithout setbacks and difficulties? But, I no longer fear, I know there will be akind of positive energy in my side, like hot sunshine warm my heart, take me toa better I, will also become the positive energy of others, do mybest to encourage and warm like I once helpless people.
The flower season of life is the spring of life, it is beautiful, a college student should be in this period, study hard, work hard,find a piece of their own h is the hope of the motherland, the futureof the yone governs his own tomorrow.
One philosopher said, " the dream has gone many ways, wake up or in bed."it vividly tells us a truth: people can't lie in the dream of ideal ,people not only want to have an ideal, but also bold fantasy, but also want towork hard to do, lying in the ideal waiting for a new start, if not only in thedistant future, even have will ents, are you also wandering in thedream of ideal?
Predecessors said well, " aspiring people set long ambition, no ambitionpeople often aspire to", those who have no ambition " ambition", is a dream, isthe so-called " ideal", they put their blueprint structure painted againbeautiful, perfect, also is just a castle in the air, ents, are youa man of long ambition, or often determined? In the green years, whenever I amsad and confused, wandering helpless, there are always some people or things toencourage me, sending out a positive light warm me.
Be a person with positive energy, let oneself have the power to tive energy is a powerful energy, it is bound to include a positivedriving force, only in this way can make your studies, career, quality of life, power is a terrible thing, just like a car without gasoline,rockets without fuel, plants no longer absorb sunlight, you will only chaos toevery day, do the same thing, to this point naturally do what to do, there is nobig goal and 't this terrible enough?

Of course you have positive energy, you willnaturally take your steps and be motivated to move to a new starting point.
Youth needs positive energy, positive energy will wings for us tofly to the vast blue sky! Finally, I want to use Liang Qichao's words to endtoday's speech: " young wisdom is the wisdom of the country, the rich is therich, young strong is strong, young progress is the progress of the country,young male in the earth, the male in the earth." let's sprinkle sweat all theway, drink all the way dusty, chew a hard, let youth continue to burn under thered flag; May every young man embrace his ideals and March on the voyage oflife.
Nothing succeeds like confidence.When you are truly confident,it radiatesfrom you like sunlight,and attracts success to you like amagnet.
It's important to believe in yourself.Believe that you can do it under anycircumstances,because if you believe you can,then you really will.The beliefkeeps you searching for answers,which means that pretty soon you will getthem.
Confidence is more than an attitude. It comes from knowing exactly whereyou are going and exactly how you are going to get there. It comes from actingwith integrity and confidence.It comes from a strong sense of purpose.It comesfrom a strong commitment to take responsibility,rather than just letting lifehappen.
One way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and to get arecord of successful experiences behind you.
Confidence is compassionate and understanding.It is not arrogant. Arroganceis born out of fear and insecurity,while confidence comes from strength andintegrity.
Confidence is not just believing you can do it. Confidence is knowing youcan do it.Know that you are capable of accomplish anything you want,and liveyour life withconfidence.
Anything can be achieved through focused,determined effort andself-confidence.If your life is not what you want it to be,you have the power tochange it,and you must make the changes on a moment by moment basis. Live yourpriorities. Live with your goals and your plan of action. Live each moment withyour priorities in mind. Act with your own purpose,and you will have the lifeyouwant.

"We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pagesare infinite---"
I do not know who wrote those words,but I have always liked them as areminder that the future can be anything we want to make can take themysterious,hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine,justlike a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.
We are all in the position of the we plant a good seed,we reap agood our seed is poor and full of weeds,we reap a useless weplant nothing at all,we harvest nothing at all.
I want the future to be better than the past.I don't want it contaminatedby the mistakes and errors with which history is should all beconcerned about the future because that is where we will spend the reminder ofour lives.
The past is gone and ing we can do will change future isbefore us and ything we do will effect day will brings withit new frontiers,in our homes and in our businesses,if we will only are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of humanendeavor.
“我们正在阅读一本页数无限的书的第一章的第一节……”
我不知道这段文字是谁写的,我一直很喜欢并用它们来提醒自己,那就是未来操之在我。我们可以掌握神秘而不可知的未来，从中创出我们所能想象的任何东西，一如雕刻家可以将未成型的石头刻出雕像一样。
我们每个人都是农夫，我们若种下好种子,就会有丰收，倘若种子长得不良且长满杂草,我们就会徒劳无获，如果我们什么也不种,就根本不会有什么收获。
我希望未来会比过去更好。我不希望未来会被那些充斥在历史中的错误所污染，我们应关心未来,因为往后的余生都要在未来中度过。
往昔已一去不复返而且是静止的，任凭我们怎么努力都不能改变过去，未来就在我们眼前而且是动态的我们的所作所为都会影响未来，只要我们体会的出来,每天都可以发现新的知识领域伴随而生，可能是在家里,也可能是在我们的事业中，我们正处在人类所努力钻研的每个领域中进步的起点。
Be there just to make up the number
During the Warring States Period (475-221BC), the King of the State of Qi was very fond of listening to yu ensembles. He often got together 300 yu players to form a grand music. The king treated his musician very well. A man named Nanguo heard about that and he managed to become a member of the band, even though he wan not good at playing the instrument at all. Whenever the band played for the king, Nanguo just stood in the line and pretended to play. Nobody realized he was making no sound at all. As a result, he enjoyed his treatment just as the other musician did. When the king died, his son became the new ruler who also liked the music played on the yu. However, he preferred solos so that he ordered the musicians to play the yu one by one. Therefore, Nanguo had to run out of the palace.
the idiom "Be there just to make up the number" is used to mock someone who passes for a specialist. You can also hear people saying it about themselves to show their modesty.
滥竽充数
战国时，齐宣王喜欢听竽，通常是三百人的大合奏。因为他给予乐师非常优厚的待遇，所以一个叫南郭的人尽管并不擅长吹竽，也设法混进乐队。当乐队演奏时，他就站在队伍里假装也在吹。没有人注意到其实他连一点声音也没吹出来，所以南郭也享受到和其他乐师一样的待遇。宣王死后，他的儿子继承了王位。他也喜欢听竽，可是他喜欢听独奏，让乐师一个个吹给他听，于是南郭不得不逃跑了。
"滥竽充数"这个成语用来嘲笑那些没有真正才干，混在行家里的人。 人们有时也用"滥竽充数"来表示自谦。
Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
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 26 , 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 of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
When the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.
That?s all !
I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro.He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money foryouth at risk programs.
The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, "I want to tell youwhy I let Jack use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man whowas the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable,race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As aresult, the boy"s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was asenior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when hegrew up.
"That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of somedayowning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drewa diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, thestables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.
"He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day hehanded it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On thefront page was a large red F with a note that read, `See me after class."
"The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, `Whydid I receive an F?"
"The teacher said, `This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you.You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources.Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You haveto pay for the original breeding stock and later you"ll have to pay large studfees. There"s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, `If you willrewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider yourgrade.’
"The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his fatherwhat he should do. His father said, `Look, son, you have to make up your ownmind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’
"Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the samepaper, making no changes at all. He stated, `You can keep theF and I"ll keep my dream.
Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, "I tell you this storybecause you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace."He added, "The best part of the story is that two summers ago that sameschoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week." When theteacher was leaving, he said, `Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I wasyour teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole alot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up onyours.’"
Don"t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.
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 of rosy cheeks，red lips or supple knees. It’s the matter of the will. It’s the freshness of the deep spring of life.
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.”
世界是我们的，未来是我们的。
一些人说“我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。”我不知道谁写了这些话，但是我一直很喜欢它，因为它提醒了我，我们能够创造我们想要的未来。
我们都是农夫。如果我们播下好的种子，我们将会丰收。如果我们的种子很差，有很多草籽，收割的将是无用的庄稼。如果我们什么也不播种，什么收获也没有。
我们所有人都希望未来能比过去更美好，但是未来能自己变得更好。不要因为结束而哭泣，微笑吧，为你的曾经拥有。从过去来看，生活是艰苦的，但我们是更坚强。我们知道我们不能选择感觉，但是我们能选择和它相关的东西。失败并不意味着你不拥有成功，它只意味着你应该用另一种方式去做这件事。失败并不意味着你应该放弃，只意味着你应该更加努力。
正如我在前面所说的“我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。”过去的已经过去，我们无力改变，但是未来却在我们前方。相信“我们给了世界什么，世界也将给我们”。并且从今天起，让我们一起做我们自己的主人，一起大声说出“世界是我们的，未来是我们的。”
Good morning! Ladies and Gentlemen,Today, Im so glad to come here. Its my honor to give the speech. Im He Tingting, coming from ABa Tibet and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture. As a Qiang girl. I welcome you to our hometown. Now Ill talk about my dream.
My hometown is a remote, lonely village, with verdant mountains and clean streams, full of fresh air… The sur-roundings is quiet and graceful. What a wonderful sight!But Im sorry to say its so poor, so backward. One day in a late autumn, my parents and I went back there together, in order to call on my grandfather being ill. Getting off the bus, slowly we walked hard towards my hometown along a narrow winding path. Suddenly, the hap-py laughter of children interested me. I looked around, and caught sight of some children playing, aged 8-9. It seemed they were free from care. I went up to them, and
asked, " Why arent you at school now? Are you on leave?" One boy stood up and said sadly, " We dont have any teachers, No teachers teach us. Two years ago, we had a teacher from a city. But only two weeks later he went away. From then on, no teacher comes here any more. Also we have no school to attend here."
"Why dont you go to the city to study?" I asked. "My parents are both farmers, we havent enough money." He stopped for a moment, and then continued, "We really hope for school." After hearing that, I couldnt say a word with a heavy heart.
Later, I thought it over for a long time. Thats the childrens fault? No. Thats their parents fault with no money? No. But I don’t really understand why.
If they could be at school like me. How wonderful it is. However, in fact they couldn’t be. What can I do for them?
Facing the children unable to go to school;
Facing the poverty of minority nationality regions;
Facing all these facts， suddenly, a bright idea struck me. From that moment, I have a dream, a splendid dream!
I dream, one day, I will be able to be a teacher and return to my hometown. Ill try my best to let the children in-to the school, into the classroom. Ill teach them to read and teach them to write,with my patience, with my love, hon-estly. Ill turn them into the persons with a lot of knowledge.
I dream, one day, I can set up a school for children by myself;let these children enter the school. Of cause Ill hope to set up schools as many as I can, to let all the children enter the school.
Also, I dream, one day, the students I teach will graduate from universities and take heavy responsibilities of building our hometown, building our motherland.
I dream, one day, all these will come true. And my hometown will become richer and richer, more and more beautiful.
Thats my dream. Iu return to my mother school with my faith. Having this belief, Iu value the time, every hour, every minute,every second. Ill study each lesson well, and lay the foundation,in order to realize the hope of childrens attending school, seeking for knowledge.
Having this belief, Iu break up a new path to achieve the goal.
Having this belief, Il1 have enough courage to change all the bad situation.
I believe that my dream will turn into reality.
As you all know, some years ago, we had a Hope Project, a lot of children have already returned to the school grounds.
We all know, our government decides to develop the western area.
Our ent decides to develop areas in-habited by the minority nationalities. Especially, Our government decides to develop the education.
And I know, a lot of people in and out of our prefecture are working hard at it. Everyone is trying to contrib
Today's speech I want to talk to my classmates about a few stories, thesestories are in our side, but we have never noticed, thinking.
One night last semester, go alone to five teaching self - study. Fatigue tohis eyes faint, faint yellow light trance to see a little boy shuttle betweentables and chairs, those hands links to pick up the garbage in the table bucket.Looking back, his mother is holding a large woven bag, came and took thegarbage. Mother and son of the shadow under the irradiation of a group of lightsappear very long, repeated, fade out of the classroom. I just looked at, whatseems to be thinking, so for a long time.
A small thing in life study, let me look at yourself again. His little badhabits, bring others? Shouldn't we be good young people who love school andlife? How can we indulge in the erosion of negative energy on us? I have asked afew students, how don't you remember to take away the garbage generated byself-study in class? Most students are vacant answer, not someone to accept?
Some of our own little habits, little laziness. Slowly become entrenchednegative energy, we didn't even notice, slowly accustomed to. Our youth, we areyoung, but ignorance is not synonymous with youth and youth.
Classmate, don't know if you have ever met this kind of situation, onenight, you are going to carry a bag to the library to study, is shouting to letthe dormitory of several other elder brothers go with you, at that time, aclassmate said: " oh, boy, the sun came out to the west, you should go to thelibrary, don't pack! " you hesitated, thinking about next week's exam, orthinking about to go to the library self-study make-up class, so, you are goingto go, then another voice rang:" hurry up to open the computer, hero league opena black shop sent a person ah, how can you do without! " at this time, yousilently put down the bag, opened the computer, just study the idea of abruptwas left behind ...
The word " positive energy" students are familiar with, its network meaningrefers to all give people up, give people hope and pursuit, make people actionmotivation and feelings. As a contemporary college student, I think we should bea positive energy person, at the same time, also should make friends withpositive energy, in each other's communication, let positive energy togetherinto a larger upward force, so that college life more positive. " true, good,beautiful" has always been as a synonym for positive energy, specific to collegelife, positive energy also covers a lot of meaning: for example, pay attentionto social welfare undertakings, to participate in social practice, let lovetransfer, so that their lives are sublimated; In the face of setbacks and lifeis not the best, to be able to persevere, with a positive attitude to face; Inthe study, be able to persevere, hard work, perseverance; Be a responsibleperson, able to understand their responsibilities, parents' expectations andsocial expectations. My classmates, my story is not over yet.
After that night, I often talked to my classmates about the experience,everyone also have feelings. Gradually, I found that after class we didn't leavethe classroom in such a hurry, but scanned the table bucket, conveniently taketheir garbage. I feel a positive energy in the spread, everyone has a sunshineand beautiful heart. In the dormitory, inner remorse let me I can no longercontinue to play games like this, I flatly cutting away. One day, two days, Ialso saw them in the study room, we smiled at each other. The original transferof positive energy is not difficult. Young people always have all kinds ofideas, the oath of youth will always be on the lips. No matter where can reflectthe vitality of our young people, and the university is a place where youngpeople gathered most. There will be more things, and the inside of the idea willbe more rich.
Dear teachers and students
hello everyone!
In our real life, everyone will have a successful experience, but also have the bitter experience of failure. When we succeed, we will have a bright smile on our face; When encountering setbacks, some fail, others are striving to advance and face difficulties. How should we face the success and failure of learning and life for our students?
This leads to the theme I am going to talk about today: "win not arrogant, lose and not be discouraged". The ancients once said: "the winner is not proud, the loser is not discouraged." What you say is this principle. When you have made great efforts to achieve success, you must not be complacent, proud of the world and have no one in mind. Instead, you should summarize the successful experience, work hard to achieve higher and better goals; When you encounter setbacks and failures, you must never lose heart and hurt, break the jar and break. Instead, you should carefully check your own things, find out the reasons and summarize them constantly, and then you will go from a failure to success. Failure is not terrible, and what is terrible is that we cannot realize our own shortcomings from it.
We often say "failure is the mother of success", which is the road to success. Sometimes failure is inevitable. Is Edison, the great inventor, not only successful after numerous failures? After countless failures - success, in success, the electric light was invented. Edison is like this. Liu Xiang, the Athens Olympic champion, also has won such a remarkable achievement after countless failures, and achieved the breakthrough of Asian sprinting gold medal zero, and won light for Chinese and Asian people! But we should learn from the failure constantly, learn from the successful people, and realize that failure is temporary from the psychological point of view. As long as you can adjust your mind and find out the problem, and add your hard work, you will surely get the result of your satisfaction.
We have just carried out the mid-term examination. Because of the different foundation of each student, some students have achieved excellent results through their own efforts, while some students feel that their achievements are not ideal and fail to achieve their goals. In this way, there are two kinds of mentality students. Students who have been well tested will be happy and encouraged, but they must not be proud and continue to move forward; Students who are not rational in the exam should not be pessimistic and disappointed. If they find out the missing, they will eventually get excellent results. I want to tell you that the examination is only a means of testing. It reflects the degree of knowledge you have learned since the beginning of school. The score can only represent the past and not the future. As long as you can analyze the reasons of your failure from the examination, summarize your shortcomings, I believe that you will be the top in the future examination.
In our daily study and life, we should keep a good mentality, and achieve victory without pride and failure. I sincerely hope that every student, in the future study, should overcome the difficulties in learning, learn difficulties, climb the peak bravely, strive to achieve: before class, we should carefully preview, prepare the necessary learning supplies; In class, we should think positively, speak boldly, ask if you don't understand it; After class, we should review them in time and finish the class and homework assigned by teachers. The work should be written in a neat manner, and the work should be completed independently. The work should be as good as possible and the mistakes should be corrected immediately. We firmly believe that as long as the students try to do it, the final exam will certainly get excellent results.
Win not arrogant, lose not discouraged. Let us always keep a heart of struggle, summarize today's success and failure, look forward to tomorrow's glory, after all of our hard work and hard work, we believe that we can achieve their ideal other shore.
Remember: "win not arrogant, lose not discouraged," this famous saying, believe it will bring great encouragement and help to your life.
Don’t wait for someday. This is the day, this is the moment, and this isyour opportunity to live.
Let go of any thoughts of limitation. You deserve every joy you can imagineand you’re fully able of creating them all. Stop settling forwhat’s only easy or comfortable or convenient. Give yourself the respect youdeserve and take on the difficult challenges that bring real fulfilment1.
Give your life some beautiful and meaningful substance2 today. Remindyourself of how fortunate you are to have each moment, and sincerely fill thosemoments with richness.
Admit and be thankful for what you desire to experience, to express, togive and to live. Then, fully use the power of your purpose and make it happen.The best of life is never out of reach. It is yours to fulfil, right now.
Dear audience and judges,
My topic is "Can money buy happiness".
As we all know, money can buy all the goods in our life, no matter how huge it is. A spaceship, for example, if you really feel your bank account can afford it.
However, when it comes to love, satisfaction, happiness and many other human feelings, it is completely not like this. The result of many recent research can support my point. They said that, though people received far more money than ever, their standard for happiness also rised. That means, if you had one yuan, a car might be your dream, but if you had one million, you might consider owning a space trip. So when people always hope for those they can not afford, they will push themselves to an unhappy
Anyhow, money equal wealthy in life but not happiness in mind. Only by changing our attitude to money and enjoying every day, can we obtain a truely happy future!
My dream
Students, guests , teachers and Honorable Judges.
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.

I love English--英语演讲稿 As everyone knows,English is very important today.It has been used everywhere in the world.It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. If we can speak English well,we will have more chance to succeed.Because more and more people have taken notice of it,the number of the people who go to learn English has increased at a high speed.
But for myself,I learn English not only because of its importance and its usefulness,but also because of my love for it.When I learn English, I can feel a different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world.When I read English novels,I can feel the pleasure from the book which is different from reading the translation.When I speak English, I can feel the confident from my words.When I write English,I can see the beauty which is not the same as our Chinese...
I love English,it gives me a colorful dream.I hope I can travel around the world one day. With my good English, I can make friends with many people from different contries.I can see many places of great intrests.I dream that I can go to London,because it is the birth place of English.
I also want to use my good English to introduce our great places to the English spoken people,I hope that they can love our country like us.
I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.
If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.
I am sure that I will realize my dream one day!
Thank you!
亲爱的老师，同学们：
我很高兴可以在这个课堂上做一次演讲。这一次，我想谈谈英语。我的话题是我爱英语。
正如每个人所知，英语在今天十分重要。它已经被应用到世界的各个角落。它已经成为商业上最为通用的一门语言并广泛的用于国际贸易。如果我们能说好英语，我们就有更多的机会成功。因为越来越多的人注意到这一点，学英语的人数正在已很高的速度增长。
但是对我而言，我学英语不仅仅因为它的重要性以及它的实用性，更是因为我喜爱英语。当我学英语时，我可以体会到一种不同的思维方式，它可以给我更多接触世界的空间。当我读英语小说时，我能感受到不同于阅读翻译文的快乐。当我说英语时，我可以感到自信。当我写英语时，我能够感到不同于汉语的那种美
我爱英语，它给了我一个色彩斑斓的梦。我希望有朝一日我可以畅游世界，用我流利的英语，我可以和世界各地的人交友。我能看到许多的名胜。我希望我能够到伦敦去，因为那里是英语的故乡。
我也希望用我流利的英语来将我们的名胜介绍给说英语的朋友，我希望他们可以像我们一样的爱我们的国家。
我知道，罗马不是一天筑成的。（成功需要日积月累。）我相信在持续不断的努力学习下，总有一天我可以拥有一口流利的英语。
如果你想被爱，你就应该学着去爱他人。所以我相信我对英语的爱定将换来它对我的爱。
我相信总有一天我会实现我的梦！
谢谢！
Today's speech I want to talk to my classmates about a few stories, thesestories are in our side, but we have never noticed, thinking.
One night last semester, go alone to five teaching self - gue tohis eyes faint, faint yellow light trance to see a little boy shuttle betweentables and chairs, those hands links to pick up the garbage in the table ing back, his mother is holding a large woven bag, came and took er and son of the shadow under the irradiation of a group of lightsappear very long, repeated, fade out of the classroom.I just looked at, whatseems to be thinking, so for a long time.
A small thing in life study, let me look at yourself little badhabits, bring others? Shouldn't we be good young people who love school andlife? How can we indulge in the erosion of negative energy on us? I have asked afew students, how don't you remember to take away the garbage generated byself-study in class? Most students are vacant answer, not someone to accept?
Some of our own little habits, little ly become entrenchednegative energy, we didn't even notice, slowly accustomed youth, we areyoung, but ignorance is not synonymous with youth and youth.
Classmate, don't know if you have ever met this kind of situation, onenight, you are going to carry a bag to the library to study, is shouting to letthe dormitory of several other elder brothers go with you, at that time, aclassmate said: " oh, boy, the sun came out to the west, you should go to thelibrary, don't pack! " you hesitated, thinking about next week's exam, orthinking about to go to the library self-study make-up class, so, you are goingto go, then another voice rang:" hurry up to open the computer, hero league opena black shop sent a person ah, how can you do without! " at this time, yousilently put down the bag, opened the computer, just study the idea of abruptwas left behind ...
The word " positive energy" students are familiar with, its network meaningrefers to all give people up, give people hope and pursuit, make people actionmotivation and a contemporary college student, I think we should bea positive energy person, at the same time, also should make friends withpositive energy, in each other's communication, let positive energy togetherinto a larger upward force, so that college life more positive." true, good,beautiful" has always been as a synonym for positive energy, specific to collegelife, positive energy also covers a lot of meaning: for example, pay attentionto social welfare undertakings, to participate in social practice, let lovetransfer, so that their lives are sublimated; In the face of setbacks and lifeis not the best, to be able to persevere, with a positive attitude to face; Inthe study, be able to persevere, hard work, perseverance; Be a responsibleperson, able to understand their responsibilities, parents' expectations andsocial classmates, my story is not over yet.
After that night, I often talked to my classmates about the experience,everyone also have ually, I found that after class we didn't leavethe classroom in such a hurry, but scanned the table bucket, conveniently taketheir garbage.I feel a positive energy in the spread, everyone has a sunshineand beautiful the dormitory, inner remorse let me I can no longercontinue to play games like this, I flatly cutting day, two days, Ialso saw them in the study room, we smiled at each original transferof positive energy is not g people always have all kinds ofideas, the oath of youth will always be on the matter where can reflectthe vitality of our young people, and the university is a place where youngpeople gathered e will be more things, and the inside of the idea willbe more rich.
Self-Confidence Is Essential to Success
Nothing succeeds like confidence.When you are truly confident,it radiatesfrom you like sunlight,and attracts success to you like amagnet.
Its important to believe in yourself.Believe that you can do it under anycircumstances,because if you believe you can,then you really will.The beliefkeeps you searching for answers,which means that pretty soon you will getthem.
Confidence is more than an attitude. It comes from knowing exactly whereyou are going and exactly how you are going to get there. It comes from actingwith integrity and confidence.It comes from a strong sense of purpose.It comesfrom a strong commitment to take responsibility,rather than just letting lifehappen.
One way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and to get arecord of successful experiences behind you.
Confidence is compassionate and understanding.It is not arrogant. Arroganceis born out of fear and insecurity,while confidence comes from strength andintegrity.
Confidence is not just believing you can do it. Confidence is knowing youcan do it.Know that you are capable of accomplish anything you want,and liveyour life withconfidence.
Anything can be achieved through focused,determined effort andself-confidence.If your life is not what you want it to be,you have the power tochange it,and you must make the changes on a moment by moment basis. Live yourpriorities. Live with your goals and your plan of action. Live each moment withyour priorities in mind. Act with your own purpose,and you will have the lifeyouwant.
we often hear people say,"never give up."these can be encouraging words and words of determination.a person who believes in them will keep trying to reach your goal no matter how many times he fails.in my opinion,the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have.therefore,i believe that we。should never give up.
one reason is that if we give up too easily,we will rarely act eve anything.it is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new,so we should not feel discouraged and should try again.besides,if we always give up when we fail,we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people.another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make anew effort.if we do not try again,the lesson we have learned is wasted.finally,we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals,we develop confidence,and this confidence can help us succee din other areas of our lives.if we never challenge ourselves,we will begin to doubt our abilities.
in short,it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals.whether we succeed in the end or not,we will learn something,and what we learn will help us to become better,more confident people.furthermore,if we give up,we have non chance of attaining our goals,but if we keep trying,there is always achance that we will succeed one day.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Thanks for your coming, I fell so happy , I have this chance to stand thereto share my ideas about my hometown with you all.
A culture creats a city, the water and soil bring up the people. At thefoot of Erlang mountain, in the middle of Sichuan province, lies a small townnamed Tian Quan. I am proud to say: it is my hometown.
Wherever I go, Tian Quan stays in my deep memory forever. I can not forgetthe place where I was born and grow up, I can not forget the place wheresurrounded by green mountains and water, I can not forget the good and honestpeople who working hard in there, I can not forget every river, every streetthere.
Standing at the top of the WenBi mountain, you will catch a bird’s eye viewof the whole Tian Quan. You will find it is a beautiful picture including themordern colour and old smell.
Looking at the lovly provious animals , such as panda, Takin, Goldenmonkey. You will thinks the nature has special power to make life sowonderful.
My hometown has a long history of culture. There is thetea-horse-accient-way, which attracts Chinese and foreign tourists to visit .Walking on the tea-horse-accient-way, you can’t help sign in regret how long ourculture is!
Tian Quan is also famous for it’s culture of tea. In summer , the farmerswork on the tea plantations, you will regard it as a lively picture. If you havea chance to work on the tea plantations, you can’t miss it! You can enjoy thetea and learn more about tea at the same time .How wonderful it is!
I want to say a song for my hometown, but I don’t know what kinds of musicis fit for her, I want to write a poem for her, but I don’t know what words candescribe her.
Everyday is a new beginning , put you hands together , give a smile to theland, say a words to Tian Quan : you will in my heart , forever.
Thanks for your listening,thanks.

ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon! i’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. i hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.
first i want to ask you some questions:
1、do you know what is youth?
2、how do you master your youth?
youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .youth means a temperamental divdominance 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 of beauty , hope ,cheer, courag
can recognize; feel with your body and spirit, and see if you can sense the freshness in the air.
yes, yes, yes, it’s a new day, it’s a different day, and it’s a bright
day! and most importantly, it is a new beginning for your life, abeginning where you are going to make new desicisions, take new actions,
make new friends, and take your life to a totally unprecedented level!in your mind’s eye, you can see clearly the things you want to have,the paces you intend to go, the relationships you desire to develop, and
the positions you aspire to reach.
you can hear your laughters of joy and happiness on the day wheneverything happens as you dream.
you can see the smiles on the people around you when the magic momentstrikes. you can feel your face is getting red, your heart is beating fast, and your blood is rushing all over your body, to every single corner of your being!
you know all this is real as long as you are confident,passionate and
you will no longer fear making new sounds, showing new facialexpressions, using your body in new ways,approaching new people, andasking new questions.
you will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take.
you will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of
your life. you will never succumb to challenges of hardships.you will never waver in your pursuit of excellence. after all,you are
the best, and you deserve the best!
as your coach and friend, i can assure you the door to all the bestthings in the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in yourhand. you must do your part, you must faithfully follow the plans you make
and take the actions you plan, you must never quit, you must never fear. i know you must do it, you can do it, you will do it, and you will succeed!
now stand firm and tall, make a fist, get excited, and yell it out:i must do it! i can do it! i will do it! i will succeed!
i must do it! i can do it! i will do it! i will succeed!
i must do it! i can do it! i will do it! i will succeed!
hello! ladies and gentlemen, it is so nice to meet you !i am gladthat you can spend this precious time having this class in thisafternoon.
now please allow me to introduce myself to you .my name is wangjia and i
majored in traffic engineering .baoji is my hometown it is verybeautiful. and the people are very friendly.
as we all knowen thingking is easy acting is difficult and to putones thoughts into actions is the most difficult thing in the world.so if we want to learn english well ,we must practice reading englisheveryday ,acturally practicing repeatly is the best way to
succeed.when
you speak ,dont care how poorly or how well you speak just care aboutcatching the chance to speak ,enjoy losing face or just forget your face
making mistakes because the more mistakes you make the more progress you will make.as a man living in the world ,we must try our best to makeeach day our masterpiece and dont let our parents down ,dont ever let
our country down ,most importantly dont let ourself down.
yesterday is a memory tommorrow is a dream so live for today
in the world, i am sure that no one dare say he hasnt met any trouble all his life. so we must face failure. in fact, failure is not fearful,but important thing is how to face it correctly. facing failure, people will never take their fate lying down.they will try their best to work harder and harder until at last they succeed. not being courageous to face setbacks, people have no chance to enjoy the pleasure of success. so they have nothing to do but feel sad and empty
all day and all night. in fact, they lose the chance of success themselves. my friend, whenever in trouble, please remember, failure is the mother of success.
我们必须面对失败 我们都知道：“失败是成功之母。”但真正理解这句话的人却不多。 我相信，世界上没有一个人敢说他一生中从没遇到过任何麻烦。因此，我们必须面对失败。其实，失败并不可怕，重要的是如何正确看待它。敢于面对失败，人们将不再由命运摆布。他们将
全力以赴的辛勤工作，直到最后成功。 不敢面对挫折，人们也就没有机会享受成功的喜悦。他们会无所事事，终日沮丧而空虚。事实上，是他们自己把成功的机会丧失了。 朋友们，无论何时你遇到了困难，请记住：“失败是成功之母。”
twists and turns in life are unavoidable and are not always bad. we should have a more optimistic view on life and try to make the most of it and draw lessons from the bumps and turns along the way.
挫折
生活中假如有任何一个因素可以促进成功，那就是从挫折中受益的能力。我所了解的每一次达到的成功都是因为那个人能够对挫折进行分析，在下一次工作中真正得益。假如混淆挫折和失败，你就注定会真正失败。 因为不是挫折使你失败，而是你自己拒绝从挫折中看到成功的方向和勇气。挫折并不可耻。在每个取得成功的人的生活中，挫折是家常便饭。但你一定要能够面对挫折而不感到羞耻，能够分析它并了解失败的原因，否则挫折就是绝对的损失。换言之，挫折可以帮助解决它自身的起因。挫折不但可以为我们成功做好预备，而且没有任何东西可以在我们的内心激发起如此强烈的想要成功的欲望。假如你让一个婴儿抓住一根竿子，然后试着把竿子抽出来，孩子就会越抓越紧，直到他们整个重量都依附于此。每次你被击败的时候，正是这同样的反应会赋予你崭新的更为巨大的力量。假如你能够利用挫折带来的这种力量，你就能够用它来完成远远超乎你能力的目标。
ideal is the beacon. without ideal , there is no secure direction ; without direction , there is no life .( leo tolstoy , russian writer)
理想是指路明灯。没有理想，就没有坚定的方向；没有方向，就没有生活。 don“t part with your illusions . when they are gone you may still exist , but you have ceased to live. (mark twain , american writer)
不要放弃你的幻想。当幻想没有了以后，你还可以生存，但是你虽生犹死。（(美国作家 马克·吐温)
the honest man takes pains, and then enjoys pleasure. 正直的人先经历痛苦，然后享受欢乐。
if you wait, all that happens is that you get older.
如果你等待，发生的只是你变老。

Consider...YOU. In all time before now and in all time to come, there hasnever been and will never be anyone just like you. You are unique in the entirehistory and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. You'rebetter than one in a million, or a billion, or a gazillion…
You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!
You're amazing! You're awesome! And by the way, TAG, you're it. As amazingand awesome as you already are, you can be even more so. Beautiful young peopleare the whimsey of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. Butyou don't become "beautiful" just by virtue of the aging process.
Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life.That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by justwaiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate your growthand intentionally devour life and all it offers. You are the artist that paintsyour future with the brush of today.
Paint a Masterpiece.
God gives every bird its food, but he doesn't throw it into its nest.Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it's truly up to you.
good evening , ladies and gentlemen . i am joy and glad to give you a speech about stress , yes , just the topic you see on the screen.
psychologist tell us that stress is a state of worry caused by the problem of living , such as too much work or study , heavy responsibilities , and quickened pace of life .
statistics show that stress comes from every detail in our life . financial problems , poor health , being laid off may be the stress that most adults now suffering . as students in the university , we are also under our special stress . while study , having to take various tests and submit a project against a deadline may put a great pressure on us . and the things make us felt stressed may be our parents’s greater expectations on us than we could reach . later , when we are likely to graduate , some other problems will also annoy us . i think we will worry a lot about our ability to compete in the job market and how we can best use what we’ve learned at college in our future job .
my brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sisters bureau and lifted out a tissue-wrapped package. this, he said, is not a slip. this is lingerie. he discarded the tissue and handed me the slip.
it was exquisite, silk, handmade and trimmed with a cobweb of lace. the price tag with an astronomical figure on it was still attached.
jan bought this the first time we went to new york, at least 8 or 9 years ago. she never wore it. she was saving it for a special occasion.
well, i guess this is the occasion.
he took the slip from me and put it on the bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the mortician. his hands lingered on the soft material for a moment, then he slammed the drawer shut and turned to me, dont ever save anything for a special occasion. every day you re alive is a special occasion.
i remembered those words through the funeral and the days that followed when i helped him and my niece attend to all the sad chores that follow an unexpected death. i thought about them on the plane returning to california from the midwestern town where my sisters family lives. i thought about all the things that she hadnt seen or heard or done. i thought about the things that she had done without realizing that they were special.
im still thinking about his words, and theyve changed the weeds in the garden. im spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to savour, not endure. im trying to recognize these moment now and cherish them.
im not saving anything; we use our good china and crystal for every special. event such as losing a pound, getting the sink unstopped, the first camellia blossom… i wear my good blazer to the market if i feel like it. my theory is if i look prosperous, i can shell out $28. 49 for one small bag of groceries without wincing. im not saving my good perfume for special parties s; clerks in hardware stores and tellers in banks have noses that function as well as my party going friends.
someday and one of these days are losing their grip on my vocabulary. if its worth seeing or hearing or doing, i want to see and hear and do it now. im not sure what my sister wouldve done had she know that she wouldnt be here for the tomorrow we all take for granted.
i think she would have called family members and a few close friends. she might have called a few former friends to apologize, and mend fences for past squabbles. i like to think she would have gone out for a chinese dinner, her favorite food. im guessing. ill never know.
its those little things left undone that would make me angry if i knew that my hours were limited. angry because i put off seeing good friends whom i was going to get in touch with someday. angry because i hadnt written certain letters that i intended to write one of these days. angry and sorry that i didnt tell my husband and daughter often enough how much i truly love them.
im trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter and luster to our lives. and every morning when i open my eyes, i tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath truly, is... a gift from god.
ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon! i’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. i hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.
first i want to ask you some questions:
1、do you know what is youth?
2、how do you master your youth?
youth
youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
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 of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
when the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.
thank you!
When I was in my 20s， I saw my very first psychotherapy client。 I was a Ph。D。 student in clinical psychology at Berkeley。 She was a 26—year—old woman named Alex。 Now Alex walked into her first session wearing jeans and a big slouchy top， and she dropped onto the couch in my office and kicked off her flats and told me she was there to talk about guy problems。 Now when I heard this， I was so relieved。 My classmate got an arsonist for her first client。 （Laughter） And I got a twentysomething who wanted to talk about boys。 This I thought I could handle。
But I didn't handle it。 With the funny stories that Alex would bring to session， it was easy for me just to nod my head while we kicked the can down the road。 "Thirty's the new 20，" Alex would say， and as far as I could tell， she was right。 Work happened later， marriage happened later， kids happened later， even death happened later。 Twentysomethings like Alex and I had nothing but time。
But before long， my supervisor pushed me to push Alex about her love life。 I pushed back。
I said， "Sure， she's dating down， she's sleeping with a knucklehead， but it's not like she's going to marry the guy。"
And then my supervisor said， "Not yet， but she might marry the next one。 Besides， the best time to work on Alex's marriage is before she has one。"
That's what psychologists call an "Aha！" moment。 That was the moment I realized， 30 is not the new 20。 Yes， people settle down later than they used to， but that didn't make Alex's 20s a developmental downtime。 That made Alex's 20s a developmental sweet spot， and we were sitting there blowing it。 That was when I realized that this sort of benign neglect was a real problem， and it had real consequences， not just for Alex and her love life but for the careers and the families and the futures of twentysomethings everywhere。
There are 50 million twentysomethings in the United States right now。 We're talking about 15 percent of the population， or 100 percent if you consider that no one's getting through adulthood without going through their 20s first。
Raise your hand if you're in your 20s。 I really want to see some twentysomethings here。 Oh， yay！ Y'all's awesome。 If you work with twentysomethings， you love a twentysomething， you're losing sleep over twentysomethings， I want to see — Okay。 Awesome， twentysomethings really matter。
So I specialize in twentysomethings because I believe that every single one of those 50 million twentysomethings deserves to know what psychologists， sociologists， neurologists and fertility specialists already know： that claiming your 20s is one of the simplest， yet most transformative， things you can do for work， for love， for your happiness， maybe even for the world。
This is not my opinion。 These are the facts。 We know that 80 percent of life's most defining moments take place by age 35。 That means that eight out of 10 of the decisions and experiences and "Aha！" moments that make your life what it is will have happened by your mid—30s。 People who are over 40， don't panic。 This crowd is going to be fine， I think。 We know that the first 10 years of a career has an exponential impact on how much money you're going to earn。 We know that more than half of Americans are married or are living with or dating their future partner by 30。 We know that the brain caps off its second and last growth spurt in your 20s as it rewires itself for adulthood， which means that whatever it is you want to change about yourself， now is the time to change it。 We know that personality changes more during your 20s than at any other time in life， and we know that female fertility peaks at age 28， and things get tricky after age 35。 So your 20s are the time to educate yourself about your body and your options。
So when we think about child development， we all know that the first five years are a critical period for language and attachment in the brain。 It's a time when your ordinary， day—to—day life has an inordinate impact on who you will become。 But what we hear less about is that there's such a thing as adult development， and our 20s are that critical period of adult development。
But this isn't what twentysomethings are hearing。 Newspapers talk about the changing timetable of adulthood。 Researchers call the 20s an extended adolescence。 Journalists coin silly nicknames for twentysomethings like "twixters" and "kidults。" It's true。 As a culture， we have trivialized what is actually the defining decade of adulthood。
Leonard Bernstein said that to achieve great things， you need a plan and not quite enough time。 Isn't that true？ So what do you think happens when you pat a twentysomething on the head and you say， "You have 10 extra years to start your life"？ Nothing happens。 You have robbed that person of his urgency and ambition， and absolutely nothing happens。
And then every day， smart， interesting twentysomethings like you or like your sons and daughters come into my office and say things like this： "I know my boyfriend's no good for me， but this relationship doesn't count。 I'm just killing time。" Or they say， "Everybody says as long as I get started on a career by the time I'm 30， I'll be fine。"
But then it starts to sound like this： "My 20s are almost over， and I have nothing to show for myself。 I had a better résumé the day after I graduated from college。"
And then it starts to sound like this： "Dating in my 20s was like musical chairs。 Everybody was running around and having fun， but then sometime around 30 it was like the music turned off and everybody started sitting down。 I didn't want to be the only one left standing up， so sometimes I think I married my husband because he was the closest chair to me at 30。"
Where are the twentysomethings here？ Do not do that。
Okay， now that sounds a little flip， but make no mistake， the stakes are very high。 When a lot has been pushed to your 30s， there is enormous thirtysomething pressure to jump—start a career， pick a city， partner up， and have two or three kids in a much shorter period of time。 Many of these things are incompatible， and as research is just starting to show， simply harder and more stressful to do all at once in our 30s。
The post—millennial midlife crisis isn't buying a red sports car。 It's realizing you can't have that career you now want。 It's realizing you can't have that child you now want， or you can't give your child a sibling。 Too many thirtysomethings and fortysomethings look at themselves， and at me， sitting across the room， and say about their 20s， "What was I doing？ What was I thinking？"
I want to change what twentysomethings are doing and thinking。
Here's a story about how that can go。 It's a story about a woman named Emma。 At 25， Emma came to my office because she was， in her words， having an identity crisis。 She said she thought she might like to work in art or entertainment， but she hadn't decided yet， so she'd spent the last few years waiting tables instead。 Because it was cheaper， she lived with a boyfriend who displayed his temper more than his ambition。 And as hard as her 20s were， her early life had been even harder。 She often cried in our sessions， but then would collect herself by saying， "You can't pick your family， but you can pick your friends。"
Well one day， Emma comes in and she hangs her head in her lap， and she sobbed for most of the hour。 She'd just bought a new address book， and she'd spent the morning filling in her many contacts， but then she'd been left staring at that empty blank that comes after the words "In case of emergency， please call 。。。 。" She was nearly hysterical when she looked at me and said， "Who's going to be there for me if I get in a car wreck？ Who's going to take care of me if I have cancer？"
Now in that moment， it took everything I had not to say， "I will。" But what Emma needed wasn't some therapist who really， really cared。 Emma needed a better life， and I knew this was her chance。 I had learned too much since I first worked with Alex to just sit there while Emma's defining decade went parading by。
So over the next weeks and months， I told Emma three things that every twentysomething， male or female， deserves to hear。
First， I told Emma to forget about having an identity crisis and get some identity capital。 By get identity capital， I mean do something that adds value to who you are。 Do something that's an investment in who you might want to be next。 I didn't know the future of Emma's career， and no one knows the future of work， but I do know this： Identity capital begets identity capital。 So now is the time for that cross—country job， that internship， that startup you want to try。 I'm not discounting twentysomething exploration here， but I am discounting exploration that's not supposed to count， which， by the way， is not exploration。 That's procrastination。 I told Emma to explore work and make it count。
Second， I told Emma that the urban tribe is overrated。 Best friends are great for giving rides to the airport， but twentysomethings who huddle together with like—minded peers limit who they know， what they know， how they think， how they speak， and where they work。 That new piece of capital， that new person to date almost always comes from outside the inner circle。 New things come from what are called our weak ties， our friends of friends of friends。 So yes， half of twentysomethings are un— or under—employed。 But half aren't， and weak ties are how you get yourself into that group。 Half of new jobs are never posted， so reaching out to your neighbor's boss is how you get that un—posted job。 It's not cheating。 It's the science of how information spreads。
Last but not least， Emma believed that you can't pick your family， but you can pick your friends。 Now this was true for her growing up， but as a twentysomething， soon Emma would pick her family when she partnered with someone and created a family of her own。 I told Emma the time to start picking your family is now。 Now you may be thinking that 30 is actually a better time to settle down than 20， or even 25， and I agree with you。 But grabbing whoever you're living with or sleeping with when everyone on Facebook starts walking down the aisle is not progress。 The best time to work on your marriage is before you have one， and that means being as intentional with love as you are with work。 Picking your family is about consciously choosing who and what you want rather than just making it work or killing time with whoever happens to be choosing you。
So what happened to Emma？ Well， we went through that address book， and she found an old roommate's cousin who worked at an art museum in another state。 That weak tie helped her get a job there。 That job offer gave her the reason to leave that live—in boyfriend。 Now， five years later， she's a special events planner for museums。 She's married to a man she mindfully chose。 She loves her new career， she loves her new family， and she sent me a card that said， "Now the emergency contact blanks don't seem big enough。"
Now Emma's story made that sound easy， but that's what I love about working with twentysomethings。 They are so easy to help。 Twentysomethings are like airplanes just leaving LAX， bound for somewhere west。 Right after takeoff， a slight change in course is the difference between landing in Alaska or Fiji。 Likewise， at 21 or 25 or even 29， one good conversation， one good break， one good TED Talk， can have an enormous effect across years and even generations to come。
So here's an idea worth spreading to every twentysomething you know。 It's as simple as what I learned to say to Alex。 It's what I now have the privilege of saying to twentysomethings like Emma every single day： Thirty is not the new 20， so claim your adulthood， get some identity capital， use your weak ties， pick your family。 Don't be defined by what you didn't know or didn't do。 You're deciding your life right now。 Thank you。
演讲稿一：初中英语励志演讲稿——Attitude
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts.
It is more important than the past,than education,than money,than circumstances, than failures,than successes,than what the other people think,say,or do. It is more important than the appearance,the giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company,a church ,a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day, regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past.We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the one stage we have.And that is our attitudes. I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me ,and ninety percent how I react to it.And so it is with you.
We are in charge of our attitudes.
