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。

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

哪位好心人可以提供一份英语演讲稿给我,内容最好是上进励志型的,5至10分钟的
我给你三篇，如果你是大学生请选第二和第三篇，如果是中学生就用第一篇第一篇，Good morning,dear teacher and my friends. it’s a very intresting topic today. I think my Dad was a hero for me when I was a young child. We'd go fishing, walks, and other fun things for a kid. Every child has a good and great father, and so do I. My dad played a very important role in my daily life`````exactly speaking, in my past 16 years. My father always stands in the center of my life， from past till now and possibly in the future. My family was rather poor when I was in my childhood. We didn't have our own house and had to live in a shabby， small room rented from my father's factory. The room was so small that there was little space for people to walk. I didn't have my own bed and had to sleep with my parents. This is terrible both for my parents and me. But father made this all different
he works very hard on his own business, now we have our own 2 housese,surly,I have my own room.and he take our family so much happiness, richer and richer. When I was little, I did everything with my dad. You could always find me sitting on his knee or walking and doing everything with him. Every night he would read me a bed time story and make the voices of each character. I learnt a lot from my daddy. I learnt to never take things to seriously and to always smile. Like many other fathers, my dad and I also has generation gap. He is not good at or even can’t work the computer. So when I sitting at the computer desk,he will say something like ‘you should pay more attention to your study’, ‘don’t waste time on the computer games’ , ‘it will be bad for your eyes’ and so on. How can I- a computer fan – reduce time on computer? So I continue studying and playing on it Years pasted, my father is over 45 now. It is time for me to look after him and I am sure I will do and we will live an even better life. and i will say,i really love you dad,cause you are the hero in my mind. Thank you so much! 我在班里演讲过，刚好三分钟第二篇，Change the world? Change OurselvesGood evening, honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen. It’s my great pleasure to stand here to present my speech—Change the World, Change Ourselves. It’s noticable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular day by day, while chinese traditional festivals are being somewhat neglected. Not long before about 10 Doctors in Beijing university and Qinghua unversity announced that we should reject the invasion of western holidays ,because they regard western holidays as an challenge against our traditional festivals and culture.Frankly speaking, I don’t quite agree with them.Indeed, we should never neglect or even discard our traditonal festivals as China boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. (examples).But why can’t we absorb the meaningful western holidays and culture. There are obvious reasons why some western holidays are so popular in China. On the one hand, some of the western holidays which we Chinese don’t have are reasonable and meaningful, such as Father’s Day and April Fool’s Day etc. On the other hand,the prevalence of globalization enables western culture to prevail in China. Overwhelmed by such a trend,Chinese unconsiciously get involved in western holidays and culture. With the further development of the whole world, the cultural communication between different countries and nations becomes faster and more and more important. We are indeed from different nations, but we are the citizens of the same world, so the outstanding culture of different nations is the commom wealth of everyone on the earth.The only way for us to protect our traditional culture is to reject the foreign culture? The answer is definitely no. What we ought to do is to spare no effort to educate Chinese to get to know and treasure our splendid traditions instead of rejecting foreign culture. Only by educating can we set our confidence and belief towards our culture. Only by educating can we preserve and promote the wealth that our ancesters left for us. At last I’d like to share a famouse saying of Gandhi with all of you ,that is:If you want to change the world, then you must change yourself first.”第三篇，Goodmoring ladies and gentalmen, I am very gald to stand here to have my speech.Global Citizenship begins at home. Do you know what is the connotation of the Global Citizenship ? To be honest I don’t understand the exactly meaning of the sentence ,so only can I explain it simply .Global Citizenship ,in my opinion ,is not something in word only ,but a kind of responsibility and undertaking ,a way of behaving and thinking .So Global citizenship begins at home ,with a commitment to live responsibility ,to regard all human begins as fellow citizens ,and to be proactive in seeking the common good. For us university students ,usually we are busy with exams or focusing on the incidents in daily life .We hardly pay attention to the global issues. However , as university students ,we should take the responsibility to think about them ,think about the life around us. The world develops quickly, but it wandered from the path it should be. Peace and development have become essential issues. Peace lays a foundation to development. But because of the development, social problems and environmental problems have become serious global problems. Over-population makes us ask for more resources from the limited ones. It causes natural resources fearfully scarce. If we keep on doing so, we will of course lose our reliable living space at last. Apart from the environment we had broke at home ,we Chinese also have no sense to protect it when traveling abroad. Therefore Chinese travelers’ behaviors in foreign countries have made the native intolerable .And the foreigners have the bad influence about our country. So I think the sentence of Global Citizenship begins at home means that everyone should be the global citizen ,should take the responsibility to protect our mother land .Global citizenship begins at home ,let we do it through the children and the parents ,through the school and the society, thou the government .There’s an old saying : Action speaks louder than words. Let’s act now . Thank you all attention. 后两篇是今年cctv杯英语演讲比赛的题目，我准备参加比赛的，但由于要参加实习不能参加比赛。

dear friends: Do you know where is in hard need of talented people in our courtry?Yeah,You may get it.it is the vast western regions . I wonder if you have heard it? A girl From Shanghai asked a little boy who was a shepherd : What are you doing ah? The child said: herd herd for what? Answer: money. what will you do with that money ? My mother want me to marry a young woman. and then after your married? have a babyand then?herd! Little Boy granted answered . At the girl was speechless at that moment. Mentioning the western,people always think of the beautiful Tian mountain, the magical SHANGRI-LA, the vast Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Yes, the west had glorious history, like the Silk Road, the wealthy and powerful TANG dynasty, and the grand sight of straight Smoke in the desert. However ,how much do we understand about the more realistic things behind that beautiful and magical surface? Without reading the article about the west, without seeing the student, who was one of touching China people,Ben Yu Xu's story, probably I will use only one word to describe it - the poor, Let me feel strange and distant west. But when I saw the youth of Xu Yu diary of this discourse, my heart will not calm and indifferent. He wrote: this is a almost a fully c isolated islands of information,there was no access to highways, illogical telephone, only light lamps lighting at night, sent a letter to the weekend breach 18 kilometers rugged mountain path, layers of mountains, blocking wall blocking Green , in which rivers, blocking the village and outside civilized penetration, lack of talented people here, so that poverty, backwardness. Xu Yu in the six months after the branch opened talks to return to his alma mater, say their hearts and suffered no electricity and letter days, I am very lonely, very lonely, very painful heart, wake up several times at night, the tears dutiful pillow, I can not adhere to the quick, if I can escape when the children yearning for knowledge, eager to go to school eyes, I now have in attack inquiry, but always, I still can not escape. Is ah, evasive in the stands before the threshold, full of photographs of children on the desire and pursuit of eyes, there is a great penetrating power, you can see the hearts broken! Finally, Xu Yu diary reads: I would like to do a drop of water, I know that I am insignificant, but I firmly believe that as long as there are 000 million droplets of water droplets can be merged into a love of the river. He is so in the midst of barren land, ground work, but their contribution to the strength of the motherland to the most needed areas. Yes, the western need talent, Western also provides people the personnel arena to display their talent, hard, as the hard training of university students, we should devote themselves to the motherland where they are most needed, on the land of the western region, to play a tune after we graduated from university first touching notes? Although we young, the shoulders still characterized by immature, but we are willing and determined to afford the revitalization and prosperity of the motherland's reunification historical responsibility. We must use our efforts to write a brilliant chapter in life! Now I have a strong desire: I need knowledge, need experience, and even a need to develop the western region of the wealth. And so of that day, I have to go to the west, to many minds the seeds of love disconnect, reflecting the radiance of love, so that being ready to sacrifice himself, solidarity become many people's habits, I believe that the motherland will always be remembered by those of us full-blooded, selfless young people, history will never forget us in the land of the west region, shed sweat, because we are the practitioner, the practitioner is history! Passion burning, and devote my youth selflessly to the tomorrow of the motherland, to the motherland where they are most needed we to, I have no complaint or regret.let us meet in the west, the development of the western region to make our due ontributions to this spirit pay fire according to legend, an epitome of the affluent west of the struggle for all of us become more dedicated and brilliant, brilliant! 亲爱的朋友们，你知道祖国最需要人才的地方是哪儿吗
你一定早已猜到了，那就是西部。
有这么一段对话，不知大家是曾听说
：一个从上海来的女学生问一个正在放羊的小男孩：“你在干什么啊
”小孩说：“放羊”那放羊来干什么啊
回答：“换钱。
”那换钱用来干什么
“娘说要来娶婆姨。
”那取了婆姨呢
“生娃”那生了娃呢
“放羊呀
”小男孩理所当然，不假思索的回答。
此刻，女孩却无言。
提起西部，我们就会想起美丽的天山，神奇的乡格里拉，辽阔的青藏高原。
不错，西部曾有灿烂辉煌的历史，丝绸之路，大唐盛象，还有大漠孤烟直，长河落日圆的壮观写照。
可是，在那美丽与神奇的背后，更现实的东西，大家又了解了多少呢
要是没有翻阅西部的资料，没有看到感动中国的大学生徐本禹的故事，大概我只会用一个字----穷来描绘那让我感觉陌生而又遥远的西部。
可当我看到支教青年徐本禹日记中的话语时，我的心就不再平静与冷漠。
他这样写着：这里几乎是一个封闭的信息孤岛，不通公路，不通电话，晚上只能点灯照明，寄一封信也要在周末跑上18公里崎岖的山路，层层高山，堵堵绿墙，条条江河，阻隔了村内外文明的渗透，这里匮乏人才，所以才如此贫穷，落后。
徐本禹在支教半年后回到母校开讲座时，说出了心中的苦，没有电和信日子，我很孤独，很寂寞，内心十分痛苦，有几次在深夜醒来，泪水打湿了枕头，我快坚持不住了，要是当初我能逃过孩子们渴求知识，渴望上学的眼神，我现在已经在攻研了，但始终我还是逃不过。
是啊，躲闪在树桩前，门槛后，照片上孩子充满欲望与追求的眼神，有一股强大的穿透力，能把你的心都看碎
最后，徐本禹在日记上写着：我愿做一滴水，我知道我很渺小，但我坚信只要有千滴万滴的水就能汇成一条爱的河流。
他就是这样在一片贫瘠的土地上，勤耕耘，贡献着自己的力量，到了祖国最需要的地方。
是啊，西部需要人才，西部也为人才提供了施展才华的舞台，作为祖国辛苦辛苦培养的大学生，我们是否也应该奉献在祖国最需要的地方，在西部热土上，奏出我们大学毕业后的第一个动人音符
我们虽然年轻，尚未告别稚嫩的肩膀，但我们愿意并决心负担起振兴和强盛祖国统一的历史责任。
我们要用我们的努力来谱写人生灿烂篇章
现在我有一个强烈的愿望：我需要知识，需要经验，甚至需要开发西部的财富。
等我学业有成的那一天，我也要去西部，给许多的心灵拔下爱的种子，反射爱的光芒，从而使乐于奉献，团结互助成为许多人的习惯，我相信祖国会永远铭记我们这些热血沸腾，无私奉献的青年，历史将永远不会忘记我们在西部这片热土上洒下的汗水，因为我们是时代的践行者，是历史的践行者
激情燃烧，无私奉献我的青春，为了祖国的明天，到祖国最需要的地方去，我无怨无悔，让我们相约西部，为西部的发展做出我们应有的奉献，使这种精神薪火相传，使祖国富饶的西部热土因我们大家的奋斗与奉献变得更加灿烂，辉煌

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more but enjoy less. 我们这个时代在历史上的说法就是我们拥有更高的建筑，但是有更暴的脾气；我们拥有更宽阔的高速公路，却有更狭隘的观点；我们花费得更多，拥有得却更少；我们购买得更多却享受得更少。
We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness. 我们的房子越来越大，家庭却越来越小；便利越来越多，时间却越来越少；学位越来越多，感觉却越来越少；知识越来越多，观点却越来越少；专家越来越多，问题也越来越多；药物越来越多，健康却越来越少。
We drink too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. 我们喝得太多，花钱大手大脚，笑得太少，开车太快，易怒，熬夜，赖床，书读得越来越少，电视看得越来越多，却很少向上帝祈祷。
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life; we’ve added years to life, not life to years. 我们常常夸夸其谈，却很少付出爱心，且常常心中充满了仇恨。
我们学会了如何谋生，而不知如何生活。
我们延长了生命的期限，而不是生活的期限。
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We’ve conquered outer space, but not inner space; we’ve done larger things, but not better things. 我们登上了月球，并成功返回，却不能穿过街道去拜访新邻居。
我们已经征服了太空，却征服不了自己的内心；我们的事业越做越大，但质量却没有提高。
We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we’ve split the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less; we plan more, but accomplish less. 我们清洁了空气，却污染了灵魂；我们分离了原子，却无法驱除我们的偏见；我们写得更多，学到的却更少；我们的计划更多，完成的却更少。
We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but, lower morals. 我们学会了奔跑，却忘记了如何等待；我们的收入越来越高，道德水平却越来越低。
We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; we’ve become long on quantity, but short on quality. 我们制造了更多的计算机来存储更多的信息，制造了最多的副本，却减少了交流；我们开始渴望数量，但忽视了质量。
These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but more broken homes. 这个时代有双收入，但也有了更高的离婚率；有更华丽的房屋，却有更多破碎的家庭。
These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. Where are we heading...? 这个时代有了快速旅游，免洗尿布，却抛弃了道德、一夜情、超重的身体，以及可以从快乐中走向静止和自杀的药物。
我们将走向何方……
If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. 如果我们明天就死掉，我们为之工作的公司可能会在一天内很轻易地找人代替我们的位置。
但是当我们离开家人后，他们的余生将会在失落中度过。
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family an unwise investment indeed. 考虑一下吧，我们将自己的时间更多地投入到工作中，而放弃与家人在一起的时光，实在并非明智之举。
So what is the morale of the story?那么这则故事的主旨是什么呢?Don’t work too hard... and you know what’s the full word of family? 不要工作得太辛苦，你知道家的全称吗
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER, (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU. 家＝爸爸妈妈，我爱你们。
