遇到困难的英语演讲稿
The Importance of Keeping Optimistic in front of difficulties Honourable judges, ladies and gentlemen, Good afternoon! Today I would like to talk about the importance of keeping optimistic. When we encounter difficulties in life, we notice that some of us choose to bury their heads in the sand. Unfortunately, however, this attitude will do you no good, because if you will have no courage even to face them, how can you conquer them? Thus, be optimistic, ladies and gentlemen, as it can give you confidence and help you see yourself through the hard times, just as Winston Churchill once said, “An optimist sees an opportunity in every calamity; a pessimist sees a calamity in every opportunity.” Ladies and Gentlemen, keeping optimistic, you will be able to realize, in spite of some hardship, there’s always hope waiting for you, which will lead you to the ultimate success. Historically as well as currently, there are too many optimists of this kind to enumerate. You see, Thomas Edison is optimistic; if not, the light of hope in his heart could not illuminate the whole world. Alfred Nobel is optimistic; if not, the explosives and the prestigious Nobel Prize would not have come into being. And Lance Armstrong is also optimistic; if not, the devil of cancer would have devoured his life and the world would not see a 5-time winner of the Tour De France. A rose may be beautiful, or maybe not; that depends on your attitude only, and so does success, so does life. Hindrances and difficulties do exist, but if you are optimistic, then they are only episodes on your long way to the throne of success; they are more bridges than obstacles! Now I prefer to end my speech with the great British poet Shelley’s lines: “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” Thank you! 在困难面前保持乐观的重要性 尊敬的评委、女士们、先生们： 下午好
今天我想谈一谈保持乐观的重要性。
我们注意到，当在生活中遇到困难时，我们中的有些人选择逃避它们。
但令人遗憾的是，这样的态度对你没有任何好处，因为如果你连面对它们的勇气都没有的话，你怎么去征服它们呢
因此，乐观起来吧，女士们、先生们，因为它会带给你信心，帮助你渡过难关。
正如温斯顿·丘吉尔所说，“乐观者在每次灾难中都看到机遇；悲观者在每次机遇中都看到灾难”。
女士们，先生们，困难是存在的，但如果你保持乐观，你就会意识到永远有希望在等着你，它会把你领向最终的成功。
不管是历史上还是现实中，这样的乐观者总是不胜枚举。
你看，托马斯·爱迪生是乐观的，如果不是的话，他心中那希望的明灯就不能照亮整个世界；阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔是乐观的，如果不是的话，那炸药和享有很高声望的诺贝尔奖就不会诞生；兰斯·阿姆斯特朗也是乐观的，如果不是的话，那癌症的病魔早已吞噬了他的生命，这个世界就会少了一位五届环法自行车赛冠军得主. 玫瑰花可能很美，也可能不美，这，仅仅取决于你的态度；而成功也如此，人生也如此。
困难和阻碍的确存在，但是如果你很乐观的话，那它们就仅仅是我们通向胜利之冠的漫长道路上的小插曲；与其说它们是障碍，不如说它们是桥梁
此刻，我想以伟大的英国诗人雪莱的一句诗来作为我的结尾：“冬天来了，春天还会远吗?”谢谢
急~~求一篇关于民族精神的英文演讲稿
One World One Dream fully reflects the essence and the universal values of the Olympic spirit -- Unity, Friendship, Progress, Harmony, Participation and Dream. It expresses the common wishes of people all over the world, inspired by the Olympic ideals, to strive for a bright future of Mankind. In spite of the differences in colors, languages and races, we share the charm and joy of the Olympic Games, and together we seek for the ideal of Mankind for peace. We belong to the same world and we share the same aspirations and dreams.“同一个世界 同一个梦想”（One World One Dream），集中体现了的实质和普遍价值观——团结、友谊、进步、和谐、参与和梦想，表达了全世界在的感召下，追求人类美好未来的共同愿望。
尽管人类肤色不同、语言不同、种族不同，但我们共同分享奥林匹克的魅力与欢乐，共同追求着人类和平的理想，我们同属一个世界，我们拥有同样的希望和梦想。
Ladies and Gentlemen:My topic is on creating a brilliant Beijing: Time for Action2008 is such a common number, but many Chinese will get excited when they mention it. How can a common number attract such a strange fascination? The answer is simple and obvious: the twenty-ninth Olympic Game will be held in Beijing in the year 2008. At that time, the whole world will focus their attentions on Beijing. As the hostess, Beijing will show her beauty to the guests from all over the world.The Beijing Olympic Games will be a Green Olympic, a high technology Olympic, and a people's Olympic. Among them, a Green Olympic is the most important concept. It will show the world the determination, the ability, and the confidence of the Chinese people and their government to successfully hold a Green Olympic. To achieve such a goal, however, it needs a lot of hard work.As middle school students in Beijing, we should take on more responsibilities for our capital city's environment. Any action we take will affect the appearance of the city. Therefore, we should start with ourselves, act now, and make every possible effort. But how? You may ask.There are a lot of things we can do in our daily lives. We all know the fact thatBeijing is frequently assaulted by sand storms every year. Forests and lands have been degraded by agricultural and industrial activities. To revive those desert lands is beyond our ability, but we can plant trees around our schools or in our neighborhood communities. If everybody does so, there will be a green Beijing and we will have a Green Olympic.I don't know whether you've noticed that some students don't want to walk to school; their parents have to drive them to school every day. But nowadays, the air is polluted with automobile exhausts. What can we do about it? Ride on your bike to school and enjoy exercise! It will not only have significant benefits for your health, but also help improving our environment. In addition, if you don't drive cars, you will not go to the car wash. That will save large amount of water. If everybody does something, there will be a green Beijing and we will have a Green Olympic.Think it over, my friends. The things we can do are definitely not unrealistic. Although we cannot provide with a clean energy source, achieve a better sewage treatment system, or stop any industry from using hazardous chemicals and releasing hazardous wastes, we can save every drop of water and protect every patch of green. Make Beijing a more beautiful city, where green patches are everywhere and blue sky can be seen clearly above our heads.A Green Beijing Olympic is asking for action. Act now.Thank you!行动起来，为北京添彩2008，一个再普通不过的数字，但是，一提到它，会让多少中国人
一个数字怎么会有如此大的魔力
答案是简单而神圣的，在这一年里，北京将举办，那时，世界的目光将齐聚北京，而北京，也将以主人的身份，展现她最美丽的风采
2008，北京的奥运将是一届绿色的奥运、科技的奥运、人文的奥运。
其中，是三个最重要的理念之一。
这充分表现出我们要办好一届环保奥运的决心和信心
然而，要实现这一目标，我们要走的路还十分艰辛。
我想，作为一名北京的中学生，我们更有责任，也更有义务积极地投入到环保行动中。
我们的一举手，一投足，都会给首都的市容环境带来影响。
因此，我们要从我做起，从身边做起，从小事做起，努力为北京争光添彩。
那么，怎样才能从小事做起呢
其实生活中我们能做得也有很多。
近年来沙尘暴肆虐北京，大家一定都有体会。
和采伐森林使土地沙漠化，虽然我们无力使所有退化土地重新成为绿洲，但至少我们可以在植树，在我们的小区植树，如果人人都能行动起来，北京将成为绿色的北京，2008将成为绿色的奥运。
不知道同学们有没有这样的经历，自己由于懒惰不肯，于是天天让父母用汽车接送。
可是现在北京已经严重污染了大气，难道我们应该视而不见吗
所以，停掉你家的汽车，蹬上自行车，让我们享受运动的快乐吧
仔细想想，我们能为做的，还远远不止这些，我们虽然不能像一些科学家那样研究不污染的清洁能源，或是污水处理系统，也不能去制止所有工厂停止使用危险化学品或向天空排放废气，但我们可以节约每一滴水，保护每一片绿地，为环保尽一份微薄的力量。
让2008年的北京，不论是在二环还是五环，都能看到湛蓝的天空和茵茵绿草。
谢谢大家
(另一篇)I am the part of the Green OlympicsLadies and gentlemen:good morning!Today, my speech is I am the part of the Green Olympics.Green Olympics is one of the Three Themes of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Therefore the Beijing government had made a great effort in order to protect the environment, build more Green project, keep the ecological balance, push the recycling economy, and protect the water resource. But if only the government take the action to realize the Green Olympics in 2008, its not enough. As a Beijing high school student, we should play an active role in the actions aimed at the realization of Green Olympics. So we should start it from ourselves, our family, our friends and other people around us.In 2001, in the Moscow world trade center, when the former chairman of the International Olympic Committee, Samaranch had said: Beijing, China! As a Beijing citizen, as a Chinese, I had a great joy for my city, for my home country from the bottom of my heart! But after the excitement that Beijing had been succeed in the race to host the Olympic Game in 2008. I started to worry about the dusty air, the sandstorm, the polluted rivers and lakes; the streets without any green and whether we could successfully host the Olympic Games in 2008.Four years later, today, we can see 229 day blue sky in one year, we can hardly catch a glimpse of the sandstorm, groups of wild duck comes back to Shishahai Lake in the spring, and all the streets are dressed in green. All these make me deeply believe that Beijing will surely succeed in 2008! And all these achievements are not only the result that made by the Beijing government, but also by the 14 millions Beijing citizens. As one of the 14 millions normal citizens, I am also adding my contribution to our Green Olympic!I used to have a habit, which is to take two longtime showers every day. It was a big waste of water. One day, I saw a piece of news in Beijing Daily that about the lack of the Beijing water resource. Its said every year Beijing use up about 3.7 billions cubic meter of water. But Miyun reservoir only contains 0.77 billions cubic meter of water, and Guanting reservoir only contains 0.19 billion cubic meter of water. This shows we are really short of water now! After reading this news, I start to change my habit, and only take one quick shower each day. I have calculated that if everyone economizes one cubic meter of water during they are taking the shower in a month; the Beijing citizens will economize 14 million cubic meter of water in only one month! In 2004, as the Beijing Irrigation Apartment reported that since 2001 Beijing has succeeded in the application of hosting the Olympic game in 2008. Beijing government had started 26 programs in order to economize the water resource. After 3 years doing this, these programs have saved 0.437 billions cubic meter of water. Its as big as a four-sized Huairou reservoir! And now, in my daily life, in my family, we always think about protecting the environment and saving the resource whenever we doing what. The batteries, the aged newspapers, the empty glass bottles and all the recyclable garbage, we will classify them then put them in different trash cans; we make the most use of the nature light and shut off the electrical light conveniently; and when we shopping, we will bring a nylon bag with us instead of plastic bags; during the feast, I do not send any card in order to protect the forest resource; after washing the clothes, we wont dump the used water but use it to flash the toilet… All in all, we should start from every little thing around us to truly realize the Green Olympic.为四川汶川哀悼作文In the sound of the whistle, the May meeting of rain and tears. This is a sad moment: the mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, wives, husbands, lovers, teachers, students, friends, colleagues, neighbours… ... to at 14:28 on May 12 before the dull, busy, hope , Disappointed, sad, happy…… those beutiful days.Today's Wenchuan Festivals, it is only a short farewell. Life, not just breathing and heartbeat. Man's bitterest sorrows are separation and death not the lives of the border. Pro-people did not leave, everything will continue. In the ruins of the baby crying sound, called a Wenchuan new life, born today.在悠远的汽笛声中垂首默立，任5月的雨水和泪水交汇。
这是挥别的一刻：向母亲、父亲、儿子、女儿、妻子、丈夫、恋人、老师、学生、朋友、同事、邻居……；向5月12日14时28分前的平淡、忙碌、盼望、失望、忧愁、欢喜……那些美丽的温馨日子。
今天的汶川祭奠，一定也只是短暂的告别。
生命，并非仅仅是呼吸和心跳。
生离死别，不是生命的边界。
亲人们没有离去，一切都将延续。
在废墟上嘹亮的婴儿啼哭声里，一个叫做“汶川”的，今天降生。

最近的新闻：2007年6月7日，微软创始人比尔盖茨在哈佛大学新一届的毕业典礼上被授予法学博士学位，哈佛校史上“最著名的辍学生”在辍学创业32年后 “正式毕业”。
比尔盖茨先生在演讲中勉励即将走向社会的哈佛毕业生:“不要以职业成就来评价你自己，更多的考虑你为世界的不平等做了什么，你怎样对待那些和你毫无关系的人们。
……我喜欢制作好玩的软件，不过有什么能阻碍我们拯救生命
” 比尔盖茨的这段话说明了他之所以成功的原因，因为他真正关心的是如何为人们制作好软件，考虑的是为世界做些什么，而不是要获得怎样的职业成就。
很多人可能只看到了比尔盖茨的钱，其实他身上闪光的不是钱，而是爱（大爱）。
大多数人一生追求的是职业成就，但比尔盖茨却说“不要以职业成就来评价你自己”。
要很好地理解比尔盖茨的这段话恐怕并不太容易，其实，在《世界上最伟大的推销员》的首篇羊皮卷已作了最好的说明“我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天”。
要从逻辑上来理解其实不难的，一个立足于为世界做些什么的人，与一个想得到些什么的人，思想、行为以及结果上会有明显区别的，前者不计较自己的得失待遇，能吃苦，表现出强大的耐心，这样就更能最终达到成功，后者计较自己得失，吃亏受苦的事接受不了，常因小利一叶障目而因小失大，路半途而已退缩；前者用心于事于物，事情就会做得很好，所产之物就会廉而美，自然更能得到社会认同，在竞争中就处于优势，后者用心于己于利，用心于算计，反而人算不如天算，得小利而失大利。
其实，得与失，自有社会公正来维持，用心于事于物者，用全身心的爱来对待世界的人，能创造更大的价值，自然地就会更富有。
钱这东西，你越追它，它跑得越远，你不追它，它反而往你家里跑，在比尔盖茨身上就是这个道理。
职业成就也是这样，当你用心地做些什么时，不知不觉地，成就就有了。
比尔盖茨就是这样具有爱的境界的人，他把爱奉献给世界，用心于让人们非常方便地使用电脑，“首富”是世界给予他的肯定，其实，他首先是爱的首富
已具备爱的境界的人可能还不太多，可以说，当一个人达到了爱的境界时，他\\\/她的世界就会变了，他\\\/她才会真正地获得成功。
幸好，我们有了《世界上最伟大的推销员》这样的书，它可以说是从成功者身上概括出来的真理。
我曾在给醒晨的贴子“比尔-盖茨到底有多富
”，回答“可他们的收入又为什么又比我高出这么多”的问题回贴时也提到了“爱”的因素： 如果以一个平庸的体力打工者收入为基数1的话,如果你有以下这些特点,收入增长可能是相乘的关系: 体力: 1, 谁都有的不希罕 智慧: *2, 工作中加入智慧,效率就会提高, 创新: *2, 光有学习他人的智慧,远不及创新有价值 胆色: *2, 有创新,但胆子不够大,也做不大 远见: *2, 看不远,自然就做不大 坚持: *2, 创业过程中肯定会有挫折,不能坚持就到不了最高点, 执行力:*2, 有好东西,实现不了,也没用 敏锐: *4, 事业要靠机会,只有敏锐的感觉才能感知机会所在, 爱: *4, 为私利而谋事,与出于爱而谋事,效果上会有根本的区别,这是比尔盖茨等富翁成功的根本原因,也是大多数人所不能理解之处. 以上相乘=1024 这是收入高出1000倍的可能原因 There is the latest news, June 7, 2007, Microsoft founder Bill Gates at harvard a new session of the graduation ceremony was awarded the honorary doctorate, harvard law school on
英文演讲稿
帮你找几篇1. 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! 2.Ladies and Gentlemen, Good morning! I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. Man’s life is a process of growing up, actually I’m standing here is a growth. If a person’s life must constituted by various choices, then I grow up along with these choices. Once I hope I can study in a college in future, however that’s passed, as you know I come here, now I wonder what the future holds for me. When I come to this school, I told to myself: this my near future, all starts here. Following I will learn to become a man, a integrated man, who has a fine body, can take on important task, has independent thought, an open mind, intensive thought, has the ability to judge right and wrong, has a perfect job. ?? Once my teacher said :” you are not sewing, you are stylist; never forget which you should lay out to people is your thought, not craft.” I will put my personality with my interest and ability into my study, during these process I will combine learning with doing. If I can achieve this “future”, I think that I really grow up. And I deeply believe kindred, good-fellowship and love will perfection and happy in the future. ?? How to say future? Maybe it’s a nice wish. Lets make up our minds, stick to it and surely well enjoy our life. 中文大意:女士们，先生们，上午好。
我很高兴在这里为大家作一个简短的讲话。
人的一生是一个成长的过程，事实上，我现在站在这里也是一次成长。
如果一个人的一生必须面临不同的选择，那么我就是伴随着这些选择成长起来的。
曾经我盼望将来能上大学，然而那已经过去了，现在我在这儿，只想知道我的未来会是什么样的。
当我来到这所学校，我告诉我自己：我不久的将来都从这里开始。
接着我要学习如何做人，如何做一个正直的人，并且拥有一个健康的体魄，能承担重要的任务，能独立思考，思想开放，心思缜密，有判断是非的能力，有一份不错的工作。
我的老师曾经告诉我说：“你不是在修补而是在创造；永远不要忘记你向人们所展示的是你的思想，而不是你的手艺。
”我会将我的性格，兴趣爱好和能力一起融入到学习中去。
在这过程中，我边学习边实践。
如果我能实现这个“未来”，我就认为我真的成长了。
并且我深信我的亲人，好朋友以及爱会使我的未来更完美，更幸福。
如何来解释未来呢? 也许那只是一个美好的愿望。
让我们下定决心，坚持到底，那我们的人生一定能过得很精彩。
3 My Definition of Success “Once upon a time， there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. To all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. One day, into the king's palace came a handsome young prince... Well, you know the rest. The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the princess's hand triumphantly.And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line And they live happily every after.Why aren't we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, I would say, so unimaginative? How can a story like that endure generations of repetition`? Because, I think, it is a typical success story. It is highly philosophical and symbolic. By implication, we see a 4-step definition of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess; 2 ) challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks; 3 ) the process of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; and 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage.The story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result. The reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa. If a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence. The term success, to be sure. will not sit still for easy definition. But as I understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor. To clarify my view, let me give another analogy.If we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. If we further changed the rules by not allowing Arsenal's defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. In accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value. The sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.The concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative. Something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person. In acquiring the ability to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success. That's why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly to the field of science.I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this. I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level contest.But I chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. Now here I am. If I come out first, it will be a great success for me. If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. For me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because I have truly gained by participating.Let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of success. You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too.Thank you.译文:成功之我见 “很久以前，有个国王，他的女儿貌美如花。
老国王向所有来求婚的男士提出了三个任务作为挑战，而每一项任务都异常艰巨，几乎不可能完成。
一天，来了一位年轻英俊的王子……”好了，下面的故事你们都知道了。
三项任务在不同的版本中各不相同，但关键部分的情节都如出一辙:王子成功地过关，得到了公主的芳心。
而故事的结局也都一样，最后一句都写道:“从此他们幸福地生活在一起。
为什么我们对如此美妙、如此不切实际,而我要说,如此缺乏想象力的东西这么乐此不疲呢?这样的故事又如何能够经历几代人的重复?我想，因为它是典型的成功的例子。
故事的思想性很强，具有代表性。
通过故事带给我们的启示，我们认识到了成功定义中的四个步骤;第一，目标的设定，有如故事里美丽的公主;第二，所遇到的困难和挑战，就像三大任务;第三，克服困难的过程，故事中青年经历重重难关可以作为象征;第四，就是成功的果实，如同幸福的婚姻。
这个故事不仅迎合了人们内心深处对成功的向往，也强调了过程和结果的不可分离。
如果通往成功的道路崎岖曲折，那么成功的回报必然硕果累累，反之亦然。
如果一个人继承了父辈的百万家产而生活得轻松富足，那么，即使在物质上，他也不能算是个成功人士，因为，他的财富并没有经过艰难困苦而获得。
确切地说，“成功”这个词，不是个静态简单的定义。
在我的理解中，真正意义上的成功是奋斗的过程和经历了奋斗之后赢得的满意的结果。
请让我另举一例来阐明我的见解。
如果我们试着改变足球的比赛规则，将球门放得很大，换下大卫·希曼或其他任何的守门员，这样，随便哪个“大卫”，比如说，“大卫·贝克汉姆”，就可以轻松进球，然而这样进一球却不能给他带来成功的震颤与喜悦。
如果我们再改一改比赛规则，不让阿森纳队的防守来守门，那么，贝克汉姆只要动动手，其实就是抬抬脚就能进一球，那样的话、，实际上也没有什么比赛可言了，因为赢球的意义已经不存在了。
在接受挑战、克服困难和经历磨难的过程中，“成功”的价值才得以丰满。
取得成果的意义和所克服的艰难的程度成正比。
所谓成功的概念不是一成不变的.而昙相对而言的,因为困难的性质也是相对意义上的。
正常人不费力气做成的事对于一个残疾人来说也许相当困难。
获得了同正常人一样的能力，这个残疾人就获得了成功。
这便是我们为什么崇敬史蒂芬·霍金的原因—虽然行动不便，受到了轮椅的限制，他依然为科学界作出了巨大的贡献。
就我自己而言，生性羞涩，容易怯场，不得不鼓起非常大的勇气来参加此次的演讲比赛。
我完全可以待在一边，不参加大学级别的比赛，而落得轻松自在。
可是，我还是选择了接受这一挑战来面对困难。
现在我来了，如果我能够得第一的话.这对我来说就是巨大的成功。
如果，我是最后一名—我希望情况不是这样—但如果我真的是最后一名，我也不会认为这次的尝试是一次失败，反而我要把它当作一次真正的成功来庆贺，因为我一部分的目标是对自己性格的锻炼—更加坚强、勇敢地面对困难。
对我来说，这标志着我在通向成功人生的漫漫征途中又向前迈进了一步，尽管是很小的一步，但是我确实通过参与真正地获得了收益。
回到我们年轻英俊的王子和对“成功”的四步骤定义上吧，您也许已经注意到了财富、地位和名誉等这些世俗的标准在故事中并未提及，相反故事强调了克服重重困难的过程。
古代的智慧已经对成功的意义下了定义，这也是我的定义。
谢谢!
求一些名人励志英语演讲稿，不要太长的。
名人励志英语演讲稿Most people would like to be popular with others, but not everyone can achieve this goal. What is the secret to popularity? In fact, it is very si-mp-le. The first step is to improve our appearance. We should always make sure that we stay in good shape and drewell. When we are healthy and well-groomed, we will not only look better but also feel better. In addition, we should smile and appear friendly. After all, our facial expression is an important part of our appearance. If we can do this, people will be attracted to our good looks and impressed by our confidence.Another important step is developing more consideration for others. We should always put others first and place their interests before our own. It's also important to be good listeners; in this way people will feel comfortable enough to confide in us. However, no matter what we do, we must not gossip. Above all, we must remember to be ourselves, not phonies. Only by being sincere and respectful of others can we earn their respect. If we can do all of the above, I am sure popularity will come our way.如何才能受人欢迎大部分的人都想受人欢迎，但是并非每个人都能达到目标。
受欢迎的秘诀何在?事实上是很简单的。
步骤一，先改善我们的外表。
我们得确保自己很健康，并且穿着体面。
当我们既健康又穿戴整齐时，不仅看起来更有精神，自己也会觉得好多了。
此外，我们要保持微笑并表现得很友善。
毕竟，脸部表情是外观很重要的一环。
如果我们能做到这一点，别人会被我们的美好外表所吸引，并对我们的自信印象深刻。
另一个重要步骤，就是培养对别人的体贴。
永远以他人为重，并把别人的利益放在自己的利益之前。
当个好听众也是很重要的;如此一来，别人才能很自在地对我们吐露心事。
然而，不管我们做什么事，绝对不要说闲言闲语。
最重要的是，要做自己，不要当虚伪的人。
只有对人真诚又尊重时，才能赢得他人的尊敬。
如果我们能做到以上几点，我相信受人欢迎是指日可待的事。
Strive for balance in life 努力保持生活的平衡by Brain Dyson 布莱恩•戴森(可口可乐公司总裁)Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them----work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop one it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls—family, health, friends, and spirit—are made of glass. If you drop one of those, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same.You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they were your life, for without them, life is meaningless.Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time you live ALL the days of your life.Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.Don’t be afraid to admit that you are lethan perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.Don’t be afraid to encourage risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.Don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is gift…… that’s why we call it the present.想象生命是一种往空中抛五个球的游戏，你把这五个球分别取名为：工作、家庭、朋友和心灵，而且你要努力不让它们落地。
你很快会了解到工作是一个橡皮球，如果你让它落地了，它还是会反弹起来。
但是，家庭、健康、朋友和心灵这四个球是用玻璃做成的。
如果你让它们掉到地上，它们将会不可避免地遭到磨损，留下印记、划痕，摔破甚至碎落一地。
它们将永远不会跟以前一样。
你必须了解这个道理，并且努力保持生活的平衡。
但要怎么才做得到呢?不要拿自己和他人比较而贬低自己的价值。
正是因为我们彼此不同，所以每个人才很特别。
不要因为别人看重哪些东西而把它们设定为自己的目标。
只有你才知道什么最适合自己。
不要将最亲密的人视为理所当然。
好好珍惜他们，就像是你的生命一样，因为没有他们，生命将失去意义。
不要让你的生命总在留恋过去或是遥想未来中流逝。
如果你活在每个当下，你就活出了人生的精彩。
当你还能给予的时候别轻言放弃。
只要你不放弃，万事皆有可能。
不要害怕承认你并非完美。
我们正是藉由这脆弱的细丝紧密地联系在一起。
不要害怕遇到危险。
我们正是在冒险中学会勇敢的。
不要以真爱难求为借口而紧闭心扉。
找到爱最快的方法就是给予你的爱;失去爱最快的方法就是紧紧地守着你的爱不放;维系爱最好的方法就是给爱一双翅膀。
不要匆忙地走完你的一生，以至于忘了自己到过哪里，要往哪里去。
不要害怕学习。
知识不会成为负担，是你可以轻松携带的珍宝。
不要漫不经心地蹉跎光阴或信口开河。
时间与话语都是收不回来的。
生活不是一场赛跑，而是每一步都需要体味的旅程。
昨天已成历史，明天还未可知，而今天则是一份礼物：那就是我们为什么称它为“当下”(译注：此处是双关语present的另一个意思是“礼物”)的原因。
