第1篇 ted英语演讲稿：不幸也许是个机会

简介：残奥会短跑冠军aimee mullins天生没有腓骨，从小就要学习靠义肢走路和奔跑。如今，她不仅是短跑选手、演员、模特，还是一位稳健的演讲者。她不喜欢字典中 “disabled”这个词，因为负面词汇足以毁掉一个人。但是，坦然面对不幸，你会发现等待你的是更多的机会。

i'd like to share with you a discovery that i made a few months ago while writing an article for italian wired. i always keep my thesaurus handy whenever i'm writing anything, but i'd already finished editing the piece, and i realized that i had never once in my life looked up the word 'disabled' to see what i'd find.

let me read you the entry. 'disabled, adjective: crippled, helpless, useless, wrecked, stalled, maimed, wounded, mangled, lame, mutilated, run-down, worn-out, weakened, impotent, castrated, paralyzed, handicapped, senile, decrepit, laid-up, done-up, done-for, done-in cracked-up, counted-out; see also hurt, useless and weak. antonyms, healthy, strong, capable.' i was reading this list out loud to a friend and at first was laughing, it was so ludicrous, but i'd just gotten past 'mangled,' and my voice broke, and i had to stop and collect myself from the emotional shock and impact that the assault from these words unleashed.

you know, of course, this is my raggedy old thesaurus so i'm thinking this must be an ancient print date, right? but, in fact, the print date was the early 1980s, when i would have been starting primary school and forming an understanding of myself outside the family unit and as related to the other kids and the world around me. and, needless to say, thank god i wasn't using a thesaurus back then. i mean, from this entry, it would seem that i was born into a world that perceived someone like me to have nothing positive whatsoever going for them, when in fact, today i'm celebrated for the opportunities and adventures my life has procured.

so, i immediately went to look up the 2022 online edition, e_pecting to find a revision worth noting. here's the updated version of this entry. unfortunately, it's not much better. i find the last two words under 'near antonyms,' particularly unsettling: 'whole' and 'wholesome.'

so, it's not just about the words. it's what we believe about people when we name them with these words. it's about the values behind the words, and how we construct those values. our language affects our thinking and how we view the world and how we view other people. in fact, many ancient societies, including the greeks and the romans, believed that to utter a curse verbally was so powerful, because to say the thing out loud brought it into e_istence. so, what reality do we want to call into e_istence: a person who is limited, or a person who's empowered? by casually doing something as simple as naming a person, a child, we might be putting lids and casting shadows on their power. wouldn't we want to open doors for them instead?

one such person who opened doors for me was my childhood doctor at the a.i. dupont institute in wilmington, delaware. his name was dr. pizzutillo, an italian american, whose name, apparently, was too difficult for most americans to pronounce, so he went by dr. p. and dr. p always wore really colorful bow ties and had the very perfect disposition to work with children.

i loved almost everything about my time spent at this hospital, with the e_ception of my physical therapy sessions. i had to do what seemed like innumerable repetitions of e_ercises with these thick, elastic bands -- different colors, you know -- to help build up my leg muscles, and i hated these bands more than anything -- i hated them, had names for them. i hated them. and, you know, i was already bargaining, as a five year-old child, with dr. p to try to get out of doing these e_ercises, unsuccessfully, of course. and, one day, he came in to my session -- e_haustive and unforgiving, these sessions -- and he said to me, 'wow. aimee, you are such a strong and powerful little girl, i think you're going to break one of those bands. when you do break it, i'm going to give you a hundred bucks.'

now, of course, this was a simple ploy on dr. p's part to get me to do the e_ercises i didn't want to do before the prospect of being the richest five-year-old in the second floor ward, but what he effectively did for me was reshape an awful daily occurrence into a new and promising e_perience for me. and i have to wonder today to what e_tent his vision and his declaration of me as a strong and powerful little girl shaped my own view of myself as an inherently strong, powerful and athletic person well into the future.

this is an e_ample of how adults in positions of power can ignite the power of a child. but, in the previous instances of those thesaurus entries, our language isn't allowing us to evolve into the reality that we would all want, the possibility of an individual to see themselves as capable. our language hasn't caught up with the changes in our society, many of which have been brought about by technology. certainly, from a medical standpoint, my legs, laser surgery for vision impairment, titanium knees and hip replacements for aging bodies that are allowing people to more fully engage with their abilities, and move beyond the limits that nature has imposed on them -- not to mention social networking platforms allow people to self-identify, to claim their own descriptions of themselves, so they can go align with global groups of their own choosing. so, perhaps technology is revealing more clearly to us now what has always been a truth: that everyone has something rare and powerful to offer our society, and that the human ability to adapt is our greatest asset.

the human ability to adapt, it's an interesting thing, because people have continually wanted to talk to me about overcoming adversity, and i'm going to make an admission: this phrase never sat right with me, and i always felt uneasy trying to answer people's questions about it, and i think i'm starting to figure out why. implicit in this phrase of 'overcoming adversity' is the idea that success, or happiness, is about emerging on the other side of a challenging e_perience unscathed or unmarked by the e_perience, as if my successes in life have come about from an ability to sidestep or circumnavigate the presumed pitfalls of a life with prosthetics, or what other people perceive as my disability. but, in fact, we are changed. we are marked, of course, by a challenge, whether physically, emotionally or both. and i'm going to suggest that this is a good thing. adversity isn't an obstacle that we need to get around in order to resume living our life. it's part of our life. and i tend to think of it like my shadow. sometimes i see a lot of it, sometimes there's very little, but it's always with me. and, certainly, i'm not trying to diminish the impact, the weight, of a person's struggle.

there is adversity and challenge in life, and it's all very real and relative to every single person, but the question isn't whether or not you're going to meet adversity, but how you're going to meet it. so, our responsibility is not simply shielding those we care for from adversity, but preparing them to meet it well. and we do a disservice to our kids when we make them feel that they're not equipped to adapt. there's an important difference and distinction between the objective medical fact of my being an amputee and the subjective societal opinion of whether or not i'm disabled. and, truthfully, the only real and consistent disability i've had to confront is the world ever thinking that i could be described by those definitions.

in our desire to protect those we care about by giving them the cold, hard truth about their medical prognosis, or, indeed, a prognosis on the e_pected quality of their life, we have to make sure that we don't put the first brick in a wall that will actually disable someone. perhaps the e_isting model of only looking at what is broken in you and how do we fi_ it, serves to be more disabling to the individual than the pathology itself.

by not treating the wholeness of a person, by not acknowledging their potency, we are creating another ill on top of whatever natural struggle they might have. we are effectively grading someone's worth to our community. so we need to see through the pathology and into the range of human capability. and, most importantly, there's a partnership between those perceived deficiencies and our greatest creative ability. so it's not about devaluing, or negating, these more trying times as something we want to avoid or sweep under the rug, but instead to find those opportunities wrapped in the adversity. so maybe the idea i want to put out there is not so much overcoming adversity as it is opening ourselves up to it, embracing it, grappling with it, to use a wrestling term, maybe even dancing with it. and, perhaps, if we see adversity as natural, consistent and useful, we're less burdened by the presence of it.

this year we celebrate the 200th birthday of charles darwin, and it was 150 years ago, when writing about evolution, that darwin illustrated, i think, a truth about the human character. to paraphrase: it's not the strongest of the species that survives, nor is it the most intelligent that survives; it is the one that is most adaptable to change. conflict is the genesis of creation. from darwin's work, amongst others, we can recognize that the human ability to survive and flourish is driven by the struggle of the human spirit through conflict into transformation. so, again, transformation, adaptation, is our greatest human skill. and, perhaps, until we're tested, we don't know what we're made of. maybe that's what adversity gives us: a sense of self, a sense of our own power. so, we can give ourselves a gift. we can re-imagine adversity as something more than just tough times. maybe we can see it as change. adversity is just change that we haven't adapted ourselves to yet.

i think the greatest adversity that we've created for ourselves is this idea of normalcy. now, who's normal? there's no normal. there's common, there's typical. there's no normal, and would you want to meet that poor, beige person if they e_isted? (laughter) i don't think so. if we can change this paradigm from one of achieving normalcy to one of possibility -- or potency, to be even a little bit more dangerous -- we can release the power of so many more children, and invite them to engage their rare and valuable abilities with the community.

anthropologists tell us that the one thing we as humans have always required of our community members is to be of use, to be able to contribute. there's evidence that neanderthals, 60,000 years ago, carried their elderly and those with serious physical injury, and perhaps it's because the life e_perience of survival of these people proved of value to the community. they didn't view these people as broken and useless; they were seen as rare and valuable.

a few years ago, i was in a food market in the town where i grew up in that red zone in northeastern pennsylvania, and i was standing over a bushel of tomatoes. it was summertime: i had shorts on. i hear this guy, his voice behind me say, 'well, if it isn't aimee mullins.' and i turn around, and it's this older man. i have no idea who he is.

and i said, 'i'm sorry, sir, have we met? i don't remember meeting you.'

he said, 'well, you wouldn't remember meeting me. i mean, when we met i was delivering you from your mother's womb.' (laughter) oh, that guy. and, but of course, actually, it did click.

this man was dr. kean, a man that i had only known about through my mother's stories of that day, because, of course, typical fashion, i arrived late for my birthday by two weeks. and so my mother's prenatal physician had gone on vacation, so the man who delivered me was a complete stranger to my parents. and, because i was born without the fibula bones, and had feet turned in, and a few toes in this foot and a few toes in that, he had to be the bearer -- this stranger had to be the bearer of bad news.

he said to me, 'i had to give this prognosis to your parents that you would never walk, and you would never have the kind of mobility that other kids have or any kind of life of independence, and you've been making liar out of me ever since.' (laughter) (applause)

the e_traordinary thing is that he said he had saved newspaper clippings throughout my whole childhood, whether winning a second grade spelling bee, marching with the girl scouts, you know, the halloween parade, winning my college scholarship, or any of my sports victories, and he was using it, and integrating it into teaching resident students, med students from hahnemann medical school and hershey medical school. and he called this part of the course the _ factor, the potential of the human will. no prognosis can account for how powerful this could be as a determinant in the quality of someone's life. and dr. kean went on to tell me, he said, 'in my e_perience, unless repeatedly told otherwise, and even if given a modicum of support, if left to their own devices, a child will achieve.'

see, dr. kean made that shift in thinking. he understood that there's a difference between the medical condition and what someone might do with it. and there's been a shift in my thinking over time, in that, if you had asked me at 15 years old, if i would have traded prosthetics for flesh-and-bone legs, i wouldn't have hesitated for a second. i aspired to that kind of normalcy back then. but if you ask me today, i'm not so sure. and it's because of the e_periences i've had with them, not in spite of the e_periences i've had with them. and perhaps this shift in me has happened because i've been e_posed to more people who have opened doors for me than those who have put lids and cast shadows on me.

see, all you really need is one person to show you the epiphany of your own power, and you're off. if you can hand somebody the key to their own power -- the human spirit is so receptive -- if you can do that and open a door for someone at a crucial moment, you are educating them in the best sense. you're teaching them to open doors for themselves. in fact, the e_act meaning of the word 'educate' comes from the root word 'educe.' it means 'to bring forth what is within, to bring out potential.' so again, which potential do we want to bring out?

there was a case study done in 1960s britain, when they were moving from grammar schools to comprehensive schools. it's called the streaming trials. we call it 'tracking' here in the states. it's separating students from a, b, c, d and so on. and the 'a students' get the tougher curriculum, the best teachers, etc. well, they took, over a three-month period, d-level students, gave them a's, told them they were 'a's,' told them they were bright, and at the end of this three-month period, they were performing at a-level.

and, of course, the heartbreaking, flip side of this study, is that they took the 'a students' and told them they were 'd's.' and that's what happened at the end of that three-month period. those who were still around in school, besides the people who had dropped out. a crucial part of this case study was that the teachers were duped too. the teachers didn't know a switch had been made. they were simply told, 'these are the 'a-students,' these are the 'd-students.'' and that's how they went about teaching them and treating them.

so, i think that the only true disability is a crushed spirit, a spirit that's been crushed doesn't have hope, it doesn't see beauty, it no longer has our natural, childlike curiosity and our innate ability to imagine. if instead, we can bolster a human spirit to keep hope, to see beauty in themselves and others, to be curious and imaginative, then we are truly using our power well. when a spirit has those qualities, we are able to create new realities and new ways of being.

i'd like to leave you with a poem by a fourteenth-century persian poet named hafiz that my friend, jacques dembois told me about, and the poem is called 'the god who only knows four words': 'every child has known god, not the god of names, not the god of don'ts, but the god who only knows four words and keeps repeating them, saying, 'come dance with me. come, dance with me. come, dance with me.''

thank you. (applause)

第2篇 税务征管副股长竞聘演讲稿：给我一个机会，还您一个满意

税务征管副股长竞聘演讲稿：给我一个机会，还您一个满意尊敬的各位领导、亲爱的同志们：大家好！第一次站在这个别开生面的演讲台上参加竞聘，我感到既激动又忐忑，这对于我来说既是一次挑战，又是一次对以往工作的检验，更是一次学习交流的机会。我衷心感谢组织给予我这样一个展示自我、提高自我的平台！感恩三年来在工作道路上一直关心我、支持我、帮助我成长的各位领导和在座的同事们！是你们让我充满了工作的激情，是你们陪伴我

税务征管副股长竞聘演讲稿：给我一个机会，还您一个满意

尊敬的各位领导、亲爱的同志们：

大家好！

第一次站在这个别开生面的演讲台上参加竞聘，我感到既激动又忐忑，这对于我来说既是一次挑战，又是一次对以往工作的检验，更是一次学习交流的机会。我衷心感谢组织给予我这样一个展示自我、提高自我的平台！感恩三年来在工作道路上一直关心我、支持我、帮助我成长的各位领导和在座的同事们！是你们让我充满了工作的激情，是你们陪伴我取得了一次次成绩，是你们给了我参加竞聘的勇气和力量。我将珍惜这次机会，用我的奉献之心和爱岗之情，接受大家的评判和组织的挑选。 这次机构改革，终止了信息中心挂靠股室的历史

，成立了征管和信息股，我今天要竞聘的岗位是征管和信息股副股长，竞聘这一岗位我认为我有如下优势。

一是有信息化工作经验。我出身科班，大学中我的专业是计算机应用专业，有较强的专业技术能力。自从2007年进入县局，我就一直具体负责实施着信息化工作。从软、硬件管理、网络维护、系统运维、文件上报、资料归档、信息调研、耗材配发、技术支持多方面一手担负起了全局信息化工作。2008年我参加全国计算机技术与软件专业技术资格（水平）考试，获得了网络工程师资格。今年11月，我参与了县局办公楼网络布线工程，通过此次网络和机房建设，不但使我学到了弥足珍贵的实践经验，也使我对税务部门信息化建设有了更加系统的认识。三年来从无到有，从生疏到熟练，使我对此项工作有了更加深刻的认识，也建立了自己对信息化工作的想法和看法。

二是忠于地税事业，乐于岗位奉献。都说女人是水，但我的性格成分中却有着一种永不言败、永不服输的个性，我用我的个性书写地税人生。一是工作面前有“干劲”。在实际工作中，不管领导交给的工作任务轻重与否，我从不讨价还价，从不拈轻怕重，从不敷衍塞责，总是以愉快的心情去接受任务，以最大的努力去克服困难，以拼搏的精神去履行职责。每一点成绩，每一次进步，都为自己的苦干实干而感到欣慰；尽管自己有时对工作的效果不太满意，但尽力而为了，也问心无愧。这三年来我担负的工作是繁杂的，但我一直在工作中体会着实现自我价值的乐趣，始终对工作保持着充沛的热情。二是困难压力面前有“韧劲”。平时我的个性随和而开朗，而作为一名女性，我又具备着女性独有的柔韧性。工作中，有时会碰到这样或那样的困难，无论遇到什么样的困难和挫折，我都能保持乐观的心态，以坚忍不拔的毅力和韧劲去正确对待。而也正因为一次次的困难和挫折，使我在工作中一点一点进步。三是业务面前有“钻劲”。还记得每接受一项工作的时候，面对难题，总是不会就学，不懂就问，向领导学，向同事们学，向书本，学向实践学。要么不做，既然做了就要做到最好。敷衍塞责这个成语不会出现在我的人生字典里。正是这种业务上的“钻劲”，使我每踏上一个新的工作领域，都能很快进入角色，理清思路，胜任工作。

三是我年富力强，接受能力强。作为一个才二十几岁的年轻人，我思想解放，勇

于探索，富有改革和创新精神。特别是近几年的学习和实践，使我拓宽了思路、开阔了眼界，增强了大局观念，丰富了管理经验，提高了分析、综合、决策能力，组织协调能力也有了一定程度的提高。我相信，拥有强烈的事业心、责任感和旺盛的精力，使我一定能胜任我竞聘的工作。

四是工作中形成了严谨的工作作风和良好的道德修养。长期从事计划财务工作的经历，养成了我办事认真仔细，一丝不苟，有条不紊，沉着冷静，吃苦耐劳，任劳任怨的工作作风。无论是生活还是工作，我都能把握好做人的基本原则。坦坦荡荡，清清白白做事，诚诚恳恳，实实在在待人。不利于团结的话不说，有损于团结的事不做，既保持青春与活力，更坚持原则和分寸，真正做到心底无私天地宽。

以上这些有利条件，使我能更快、更好地进入工作角色，顺利地开展工作。如果能给我一个机会，我将以优异的工作成绩向领导和同事们交一份满意的答卷。

“千里之行，始于足下。”我将通过以下四个方面的努力，认真履行岗位职责，争取成为一名合格的中层副职干部。

一是转变角色，我认为：中层副职领导应当既是通晓某项业务的骨干，又是能为主要领导献计献策推动全面工作的得力助手；既是推进业务进程的组织者指挥者，又是积极投入实际工作的参与者；既要明确职责，协调好与正职领导的工作关系，当好参谋助手，又要通过沟通和调节处理好与部门与下属的关系，成为桥梁与纽带；总之，要做到尽职不越权，帮忙不添乱，补台不拆台；要摆正位置，当好配角；胸怀大局，当好参谋；服从领导，当好助手。

二是要找准自己定位，尽快上手工作。这次机构改革改革涉及到了股室职能的重新划分，新的机构设置必然会带来一些新情况、新问题，信息化与征管进行合并也说明对税收管理工作提出了新的要求。而以我本身来看我的业务知识还有欠缺，税收征管对于我来说是一个全新的领域，我要尽快熟悉业务，找准自己的定位，制定工作计划，扎扎实实地开展工作，做好自己所负责的工作任务。

三是坚持学习不放松，提高自身素质。一方面加强政治理论知识的学习，不断提高自己的政治理论修养和明辩大是大非的能力。另一方面是身在业务股室，更应不断充实完善，加强业务知识学习，具备较强的业务素养，使自己更加胜任本职工作。我将以虚心的态度向同志们学习，向身边人学习，取人之长，补己之短，使自己尽快适应工

作需要。

四是处理好做人与做事的关系。一是要老老实实做人。一方面更要严以律己，以党员标准，时时做到自重、自省、自警、自励，经得起考验；另一方面要团结同事、宽以待人，与人为善，取人之长，容人之短，互相理解、互相支持。二是要踏踏实实做事。把心思花在谋事上，把精力用在干事上，真正做到想干事，能办大事，会办难事，敢办新事。

如果说这次我能有幸竞聘成功，那么我将为自己准备两支笔。一支笔写快乐，一支笔记烦恼。我期盼快乐，但不害怕烦恼，因为战胜烦恼才能孕育新的快乐。一支笔写成功，一支笔记失败。我渴望成功，因为成功是对自己能力的最好证明。但我也知道失败乃成功之母的道理。一支笔写他人，一支笔记自己。任何一份成功都不可能源于一人，所以，在人生这本书上，不仅该记有自己的梦想与辉煌，也不该忘记他人的价值与奉献。

谢谢大家！

第3篇 机会演讲稿范文

在一些人看来，要成就一番事业，应该有高起点，高平台，如果工作环境、条件一般，岗位平凡，很难脱颖而出，很难有什么大成就。很多人就是在这种怀才不遇的自怨自艾中浪费了光阴，虚度了青春，就在这种不知不觉中度过了宝贵的生命。生命对每一个人来说只有一次，这仅有的一次应该怎样度过呢？这是我们年轻人应该深刻思考的。但我要说，伟大正孕育在平凡之中，平凡的我们一样能够奉献，无论在任何一个岗位，我们都应该充满激情，无愧于我们的青春，因为激情孕育着希望，张扬着热力。

__年是不平凡的一年，延续两年的经济危机让我们深深体会到发展进程的复杂和艰辛，众多企业还没有从“寒冬”中醒来。冬天的寒冷虽然刺骨，但阳光依然明媚，寒冷与温暖交织而存，严冬孕育着春天的气息。盘点我们共同走过的__年，值得我们铭记的有太多太多：公司先进的经营理念始终贯穿着__年的每一天，当金融危机波及实体经济，全球性经济寒冬来临，我们公司依然保持了稳健发展，而且以更积极的姿态厉兵秣马、逆势出击、决胜未来！许多许多的不平凡使公司在运营上不断扩展，公司规模逐步扩大的前提下，依然做到了对员工负责、对企业负责、对社会负责，全面履行了企业所应担负的社会责任，也为建设和谐社会做出了企业应尽的贡献。

大河涨水小河满，员工要快乐，必须有物质基础，员工的物质基础只能来源于企业的效益，企业没效益，一切都是空谈。企业强大，是员工富足的前提，而企业要在今日之竞争社会立足，并获得长远的可持续发展，没有自己的核心竞争力又怎么能强大的起来呢？制度化管理是一个企业做大作强的根基，没有这样的根基，做大做强就成了一句空话，员工的一切梦想也都成了海市蜃楼，但制度化管理必然会带来工作压力。面对压力我们只有用自己的工作和奉献去和公司一同的去担当。

在新的发展机遇中我们必须要有改变，必须要有进步。你可以因为年龄、因为习惯，因为林林总总的原因进步的慢一些，但你不可以不进步，哪怕每天只进步一点点。百害而无一利的抱怨毫无用处。在平和的坚持中等待胜利！跟上企业的步伐，只有跟上企业步伐的人，才有机会与企业共享发展利益。

在工作中每个人都会遇到很多难以置信的挫折和失败，从而面临着许多考验和挑战，转眼间我从参加工作到现在已有将近两年的时间了，在这两年当中我也同样经历了挫折和失败，但我却学会了面对和战胜困难。在遇到困难、挫折，经历过痛苦失败后我也曾想过要放弃，但总是觉得很不甘心。在一次与朋友的交谈中他的这么一段话使我感触颇深：“别轻易放弃！现在做什么都不容易，你现在已经有了经验了，如果转行还得从头来过，这样下去，试问：你什么时候才能得到一份自己感觉满意的工作呢？”听了这段话，我茅塞顿开，真是一语惊醒梦中人呀！失败其实并不可怕，可怕的是经历过失败没有勇气继续走下去，其实在每次的失败中都会有很多值得我们去学习去深思的地方，失败的次数也多，就说明我们离成功越近，所以我坚信，风雨之后终能见彩虹。经历了这么多之后，现在的我对自己的工作充满了热情和信心，相信在以后的日子了，只要脚踏实地的做好每一件事，生活就会一天会比一天更美好！

每一天，都是平凡的，但每一天也是精彩的；每一天都是琐碎的，但每一天我都会认真对待。因为，既然我选择了来这里，我就会安心的在这里更好的工作。正因为这样，我要不断熟悉各种规章制度，工艺范围，加强业务知识学习，加强安全知识学习，逐步适应现有的工作环境，使自己逐步融入到生产集体中去。

回首__年，我们走过了一段不平凡的历程，展望__年，新的一年开启新的希望，新的历程承载新的梦想。__年是公司开拓创新、变革发展的一年，也是为品牌承前启后的关键一年。机遇蕴含精彩，创新成就伟业。让我们的__年，扬帆远航、谱写华章！让我们携手并肩、满怀信心地迎接挑战，全力以赴、自强不息地向着更加高远的目标，去续写事业的华彩新篇！

let me read you the entry. 'disabled, adjective: crippled, helpless, useless, wrecked, stalled, maimed, wounded, mangled, lame, mutilated, run-down, worn-out, weakened, impotent, castrated, paralyzed, handicapped, senile, decrepit, laid-up, done-up, done-for, done-in cracked-up, counted-out; see also hurt, useless and weak. antonyms, healthy, strong, capable.' i was reading this list out loud to a friend and at first was laughing, it was so ludicrous, but i'd just gotten past 'mangled,' and my voice broke, and i had to stop and collect myself from the emotional shock and impact that the assault from these words unleashed.

now, of course, this was a simple ploy on dr. p's part to get me to do the e_ercises i didn't want to do before the prospect of being the richest five-year-old in the second floor ward, but what he effectively did for me was reshape an awful daily occurrence into a new and promising e_perience for me. and i have to wonder today to what e_tent his vision and his declaration of me as a strong and powerful little girl shaped my own view of myself as an inherently strong, powerful and athletic person well into the future.

this is an e_ample of how adults in positions of power can ignite the power of a child. but, in the previous instances of those thesaurus entries, our language isn't allowing us to evolve into the reality that we would all want, the possibility of an individual to see themselves as capable. our language hasn't caught up with the changes in our society, many of which have been brought about by technology. certainly, from a medical standpoint, my legs, laser surgery for vision impairment, titanium knees and hip replacements for aging bodies that are allowing people to more fully engage with their abilities, and move beyond the limits that nature has imposed on them -- not to mention social networking platforms allow people to self-identify, to claim their own descriptions of themselves, so they can go align with global groups of their own choosing. so, perhaps technology is revealing more clearly to us now what has always been a truth: that everyone has something rare and powerful to offer our society, and that the human ability to adapt is our greatest asset.

the human ability to adapt, it's an interesting thing, because people have continually wanted to talk to me about overcoming adversity, and i'm going to make an admission: this phrase never sat right with me, and i always felt uneasy trying to answer people's questions about it, and i think i'm starting to figure out why. implicit in this phrase of 'overcoming adversity' is the idea that success, or happiness, is about emerging on the other side of a challenging e_perience unscathed or unmarked by the e_perience, as if my successes in life have come about from an ability to sidestep or circumnavigate the presumed pitfalls of a life with prosthetics, or what other people perceive as my disability. but, in fact, we are changed. we are marked, of course, by a challenge, whether physically, emotionally or both. and i'm going to suggest that this is a good thing. adversity isn't an obstacle that we need to get around in order to resume living our life. it's part of our life. and i tend to think of it like my shadow. sometimes i see a lot of it, sometimes there's very little, but it's always with me. and, certainly, i'm not trying to diminish the impact, the weight, of a person's struggle.

there is adversity and challenge in life, and it's all very real and relative to every single person, but the question isn't whether or not you're going to meet adversity, but how you're going to meet it. so, our responsibility is not simply shielding those we care for from adversity, but preparing them to meet it well. and we do a disservice to our kids when we make them feel that they're not equipped to adapt. there's an important difference and distinction between the objective medical fact of my being an amputee and the subjective societal opinion of whether or not i'm disabled. and, truthfully, the only real and consistent disability i've had to confront is the world ever thinking that i could be described by those definitions.

in our desire to protect those we care about by giving them the cold, hard truth about their medical prognosis, or, indeed, a prognosis on the e_pected quality of their life, we have to make sure that we don't put the first brick in a wall that will actually disable someone. perhaps the e_isting model of only looking at what is broken in you and how do we fi_ it, serves to be more disabling to the individual than the pathology itself.

by not treating the wholeness of a person, by not acknowledging their potency, we are creating another ill on top of whatever natural struggle they might have. we are effectively grading someone's worth to our community. so we need to see through the pathology and into the range of human capability. and, most importantly, there's a partnership between those perceived deficiencies and our greatest creative ability. so it's not about devaluing, or negating, these more trying times as something we want to avoid or sweep under the rug, but instead to find those opportunities wrapped in the adversity. so maybe the idea i want to put out there is not so much overcoming adversity as it is opening ourselves up to it, embracing it, grappling with it, to use a wrestling term, maybe even dancing with it. and, perhaps, if we see adversity as natural, consistent and useful, we're less burdened by the presence of it.

this year we celebrate the 200th birthday of charles darwin, and it was 150 years ago, when writing about evolution, that darwin illustrated, i think, a truth about the human character. to paraphrase: it's not the strongest of the species that survives, nor is it the most intelligent that survives; it is the one that is most adaptable to change. conflict is the genesis of creation. from darwin's work, amongst others, we can recognize that the human ability to survive and flourish is driven by the struggle of the human spirit through conflict into transformation. so, again, transformation, adaptation, is our greatest human skill. and, perhaps, until we're tested, we don't know what we're made of. maybe that's what adversity gives us: a sense of self, a sense of our own power. so, we can give ourselves a gift. we can re-imagine adversity as something more than just tough times. maybe we can see it as change. adversity is just change that we haven't adapted ourselves to yet.

i think the greatest adversity that we've created for ourselves is this idea of normalcy. now, who's normal? there's no normal. there's common, there's typical. there's no normal, and would you want to meet that poor, beige person if they e_isted? (laughter) i don't think so. if we can change this paradigm from one of achieving normalcy to one of possibility -- or potency, to be even a little bit more dangerous -- we can release the power of so many more children, and invite them to engage their rare and valuable abilities with the community.

anthropologists tell us that the one thing we as humans have always required of our community members is to be of use, to be able to contribute. there's evidence that neanderthals, 60,000 years ago, carried their elderly and those with serious physical injury, and perhaps it's because the life e_perience of survival of these people proved of value to the community. they didn't view these people as broken and useless; they were seen as rare and valuable.

a few years ago, i was in a food market in the town where i grew up in that red zone in northeastern pennsylvania, and i was standing over a bushel of tomatoes. it was summertime: i had shorts on. i hear this guy, his voice behind me say, 'well, if it isn't aimee mullins.' and i turn around, and it's this older man. i have no idea who he is.

and i said, 'i'm sorry, sir, have we met? i don't remember meeting you.'

he said, 'well, you wouldn't remember meeting me. i mean, when we met i was delivering you from your mother's womb.' (laughter) oh, that guy. and, but of course, actually, it did click.

this man was dr. kean, a man that i had only known about through my mother's stories of that day, because, of course, typical fashion, i arrived late for my birthday by two weeks. and so my mother's prenatal physician had gone on vacation, so the man who delivered me was a complete stranger to my parents. and, because i was born without the fibula bones, and had feet turned in, and a few toes in this foot and a few toes in that, he had to be the bearer -- this stranger had to be the bearer of bad news.

he said to me, 'i had to give this prognosis to your parents that you would never walk, and you would never have the kind of mobility that other kids have or any kind of life of independence, and you've been making liar out of me ever since.' (laughter) (applause)

the e_traordinary thing is that he said he had saved newspaper clippings throughout my whole childhood, whether winning a second grade spelling bee, marching with the girl scouts, you know, the halloween parade, winning my college scholarship, or any of my sports victories, and he was using it, and integrating it into teaching resident students, med students from hahnemann medical school and hershey medical school. and he called this part of the course the _ factor, the potential of the human will. no prognosis can account for how powerful this could be as a determinant in the quality of someone's life. and dr. kean went on to tell me, he said, 'in my e_perience, unless repeatedly told otherwise, and even if given a modicum of support, if left to their own devices, a child will achieve.'

see, dr. kean made that shift in thinking. he understood that there's a difference between the medical condition and what someone might do with it. and there's been a shift in my thinking over time, in that, if you had asked me at 15 years old, if i would have traded prosthetics for flesh-and-bone legs, i wouldn't have hesitated for a second. i aspired to that kind of normalcy back then. but if you ask me today, i'm not so sure. and it's because of the e_periences i've had with them, not in spite of the e_periences i've had with them. and perhaps this shift in me has happened because i've been e_posed to more people who have opened doors for me than those who have put lids and cast shadows on me.

see, all you really need is one person to show you the epiphany of your own power, and you're off. if you can hand somebody the key to their own power -- the human spirit is so receptive -- if you can do that and open a door for someone at a crucial moment, you are educating them in the best sense. you're teaching them to open doors for themselves. in fact, the e_act meaning of the word 'educate' comes from the root word 'educe.' it means 'to bring forth what is within, to bring out potential.' so again, which potential do we want to bring out?

there was a case study done in 1960s britain, when they were moving from grammar schools to comprehensive schools. it's called the streaming trials. we call it 'tracking' here in the states. it's separating students from a, b, c, d and so on. and the 'a students' get the tougher curriculum, the best teachers, etc. well, they took, over a three-month period, d-level students, gave them a's, told them they were 'a's,' told them they were bright, and at the end of this three-month period, they were performing at a-level.

and, of course, the heartbreaking, flip side of this study, is that they took the 'a students' and told them they were 'd's.' and that's what happened at the end of that three-month period. those who were still around in school, besides the people who had dropped out. a crucial part of this case study was that the teachers were duped too. the teachers didn't know a switch had been made. they were simply told, 'these are the 'a-students,' these are the 'd-students.'' and that's how they went about teaching them and treating them.

so, i think that the only true disability is a crushed spirit, a spirit that's been crushed doesn't have hope, it doesn't see beauty, it no longer has our natural, childlike curiosity and our innate ability to imagine. if instead, we can bolster a human spirit to keep hope, to see beauty in themselves and others, to be curious and imaginative, then we are truly using our power well. when a spirit has those qualities, we are able to create new realities and new ways of being.

i'd like to leave you with a poem by a fourteenth-century persian poet named hafiz that my friend, jacques dembois told me about, and the poem is called 'the god who only knows four words': 'every child has known god, not the god of names, not the god of don'ts, but the god who only knows four words and keeps repeating them, saying, 'come dance with me. come, dance with me. come, dance with me.''

thank you. (applause)

学生比赛演讲稿：抓住机会，舍弃累赘

生命成可贵，爱情价更高，若为机会故，两者皆可抛。机会像雨后的彩虹，稍纵即逝;机会如动荡的股市，瞬息万变;机会似繁杂的路口，转眼不在。骑白马的一不定是白马王子，可以能是唐僧。我今天要演讲的主题是：抓住机会，舍弃累赘。

俗话说：“机不再失，失不再来。”没错，机会贵就贵在它很多时候都只有一次。中央二套的《非常6+1》大家喜欢看吗?里面就有一个砸金蛋的环节。当有把从1到10号里选好的号码报给节目主持人李咏时，似乎你能做的就是等待尘埃落定，如果砸出金花四溅，恭喜你，圆梦成功;如果砸得有声无物，很遗憾，感谢参与。可见，机会往往就近在咫尺。

机会可贵，值得珍惜。人们常说：“羡慕别人所得到的不如珍惜自己所拥有的。”我非常赞同这个说法。因为人各有所长吗，当你盲目的追求别人所得到的同时也失去了自己本身所拥有的，悲哀!众所周知的歌星周杰伦，当它在上四川音乐学院的时候，曾一度对篮球万分痴迷，甚至有时上音乐课也强行要求老师让他去玩篮球，无耐之下，老师不得已同意了。但是后来他发现自己玩篮球没戏。身材差老远了，不管是从平方的面积还是从立方的体积同见不到丝毫的优势，混得再好，冲其量最多也不过是个nba 无人问津的替补。不得不恭喜他选择了珍惜自己所拥有的音乐天赋，所以才成就了他亿万身份，家喻户晓的知名度，在娱乐圈里首屈一指，成为名副其实的影视泰斗。再来说说马云吧，马云，在阿里巴巴没有上市以前，马云也是一个普通的大学生，但是改变他命运的尽尽是一次小小的机会。一开始马云和美国老板恰谈的合作并不顺利，直到有一天，马云收到小道消息，说是美国老板要来北京玩。第二天马云立马从浙江奔赴到北京熟悉环境，什么吃喝玩乐，马云算是面面俱到、胸有成竹。当美国老板来到北京以后，马去可是十足的过了一把导游的隐，诠释了什么叫做“尺地主之谊”。最后，老板投资他的项目也是顺理成章、不足为奇。也成就了淘宝在网上购物的垄断地位。或许你本也可以像周杰伦、马云一样扬名四海、叱诧风云，只是你不懂得珍惜机会罢了。

或许你会觉得那样的机会离你太遥远，不切实际，那我就来说说离你近点的吧。在商场这种声音你是否听过：“走过路过的朋友，千万不要错过如此良机……裤子特价28元一条，犹豫徘徊，等于白来，徘徊犹豫，失去机遇”。像我今天这样小小演讲的机会，如果能撼动你、唤醒你对机会的重视，我演讲的目的也就达到了。但是并不是所有的机会都值得珍惜，这就取决人的理性判断。咱们试想：如果给姚明一个机会让练110米跨栏情况会怎样?结果是不言而喻，简直是笑话，那不是强人所难么?机会通常是指在人的能力范围内，为了达到某个理论上可以实现的目的而努力奋斗的行为。姚明对机会的认识是：只有抓住机会才能把比赛打好。是机会不是累赘，是累赘让人颓废。

机会不比时间，再怎么挤也不一定会重现，就好比“破镜不能重圆的道理”。机会往往会卷顾那些有准备的人，从现在开始做一个有准备的人。人生短短几个秋，不见机会不罢休。周星弛有一段经典的台词：“曾经有一份爱情摆在我的面前我没有珍惜，如果上天再给我一次机会的话……”oh,no,sorry!我想对你说的是纵然你腰緾万贯、才高八斗老天也不一定会再给你机会，因为老天爷是公平的!朋友们：抓住机会，舍弃累赘。努力学习吧!

幼儿教师演讲稿：给我一个机会 还你一份精彩

给我一个机会 还你一份精彩

下半年岗位述职报告

尊敬的园领导、聘任小组、各位老师，你们好！

一年一度的竞聘上岗、展现自我的机会又摆在了我们的面前，今天的我有点激动，有的紧张。因为我担任的这个班级有二年时间了，在这二年里，我班的朗朗古诗声传遍了幼儿园内外，走进了电视；在这二年里我班的“家园直通车”开进了每个家庭，走进了每位家长的心理；在这二年里，我班的孩子活泼自信，和谐发展。而我与他们朝夕相处，早已是心心相印。而下学期是这些孩子在幼儿园里最关键的一年，如何使他们永远记住在幼儿园里的快乐时光，如何让他们充满自信地走进小学的课堂。这是我这几天一直在思考的问题。

新的世纪需要新的教育理念，新的世纪需要新的课程模式。小班化教育已越来越受到广大教师、家长的青睐。本学期，我园尝试开设小型班，这对我们老师是一个新的考验，也是一次新的机遇，对于大班的老师更是一次新的挑战。在此，我要求担任大班小型班的班主任工作，在继续做好班级常规的同时，把我班的专题特色搞得更加红红火火。

一． 继续开展古诗诵读活动

一个人如果他从来没有读过唐诗、宋词，他就没有资格说自己是一个真正的中国人。因为他无法融入中华民族的精神生活。孩子们从小接触经典的古诗文，能开发记忆力，打好语言文功底，获得良好的熏陶和修养，能对孩子的一生产生积极的影响。因此，在新学期里，我们将继续开展古诗诵读活动，并在诵读的基础上，进行简单的识练习，培养孩子早期阅读的能力。在一定的阶段进行成果汇报，古诗表演、古诗朗诵比赛、对诗等系列活动，当这些孩子走进小学的时候，都能出口成章，充满自信。

二．继续创建班级文化 办好班级的另一特色——班报

幼儿园的工作离不开家长的配合，这句话我们每位老师都知道，可做起来就不是那么一回事

。我们时常与家长交流，但真正将家长资源充分利用却还不够。我班的家长工作一直比较好，因为我们与家长有一块沟通的平台，那就是我们的班报——家园直通车，我班的班报，可谓是深入人手，每期都是人手一份，可最近我发现，我班的班报每期都是我们老师组稿，编辑，而属于家长的位置就只有“聊天室”那么一小块，互动性不够。《纲要》精神要求我们在教学中必须做到师生互动、生生互动、家园互动。因此，在新学期里，我们将对班报进行全面改版，提供大量的空间，让家长们畅所欲言，出谋划策，学习交流。让家长真正参与到我们的教学中来。小型班的家长，对孩子的教育比较重视，自身素质也比较高。只要我们多与他们进行心灵沟通、情感交流、换位而思，一定会赢得家长的理解和支持，我们的家长工作将会更顺利展开，班报将会更加丰富多彩。

自始至终，在我的身上，总有一种东西在激励着自己，那就是对幼教事业的热爱。尽管岁月不饶人，尽管白发染双鬓，因为热爱，所以责任在身；因为热爱所以乐观自信。我相信，这份热爱，一定也会感染我的孩子们，让他们从小担当责任，充满着自信。给我一个机会，还你一份精彩，这是我想对聘任小组和老师们表达的心声。

谢谢！

第4篇 励志演讲稿：机会只属于有准备的人

尊敬的各位老师、亲爱的同学们：

大家好！

从来没有想过能够以今天这样一种身份和方式重回人大的校园，在感到荣幸的同时，也感到压力。我问自己，人大法学院的骄子们在这个时刻是否还有人愿意聆听一个有了好几个代沟的师姐在这唠叨？如果侥幸还有人说愿意的话，我要对大家说什么？我能带给大家什么？在提出这些问题的同时，我似乎看到了当年自己毕业时的兴奋和忐忑，也记起自己从事知识产权审判18年来的辛苦和收获。在我的成长过程中，得到过很多师长、领导和同事的提醒、指导与帮助。所以，我希望我能把从他们那里得到的关爱传递给你们。今天，我从个人的经历谈三点体会，如果其中能有只言片语给大家一点触动，也算没有辜负老师的期望，没有浪费大家的时间。

我的体会是：认清职责，坚持梦想。

在这里，我想先问同学们一个问题，你对工作是如何认识的？是当做谋生的手段，还是当做事业？如果是要成就一番事业，我的感受是，只有把个人的追求与国家的发展、集体的荣誉凝结在一起时，才会更有动力，更有价值。听起来是不是有点空？但我身有体会。

1994年7月，我刚刚进入法院工作。一次，跟同事去修自行车，修车的师傅问我们在哪工作，我们回答“法院”。正埋头修车的师傅抬头望了我们一眼，意味深长地说“法院？法院好啊！”这个好，听得我很难受。我知道，当时流行着一句顺口溜“大盖帽，两头翘，吃完原告吃被告”，那就是法官在公众中的形象。当时，我就想，虽然我个人是渺小的，但是要从我做起，我相信，通过无数个我的努力，会改变社会对法官的认知，总会有一天公众会把法官当做“公正的化身”。

虽然成为一名好法官是我的职业梦想，但是刚刚参加工作的我，并不了解自己从事的知识产权审判工作的意义。当时庭长的一句话，让我时刻牢记心中，让我能在18年来的工作中认认真真对待每一起案件。他说：“知识产权无小案”。在工作中我逐渐认识到，一项专利可能影响一个行业的发展，一件商标可以决定一个企业的生死存亡。作为知识产权法官，我们不仅需要平衡当事人双方的利益，甚至要考虑我们的判决对于科技创新、文化发展的影响，我们肩上的担子很重。有了这份责任感，我才有了前进的动力。

__年，我获得了公派留学英国的机会。留学时的一些经历，也使自己受到很多触动。初见教知识产权法的教授，当我介绍自己是一名从事知识产权审判的中国法官时，教授不以为然地摇摇头说：中国？中国有知识产权保护吗？虽然中国知识产权专业司法保护已经开展了7年，但是国外对中国不了解，不认可。那一刻，我的心被刺痛了。一种从未有过的强烈的使命感和责任感油然而生，也就在那一刻，我告诉自己一定要更加发奋图强，要通过我审理的案件，让外国的当事人及司法同行们，真正看到中国司法的发展与进步，领略到中国法官的素质与风采。

这些经历，时刻会提醒我作为法官、作为中国的知识产权法官的职责和使命。正是有了这种信念，我才能不懈努力和坚持。

回想起来，如果我仅仅是把工作当成谋生的手段，或者仅仅是当成自己的事业，是很难坚持下来的。比如，当你没有了生存的压力，当你生病，当你因生了小孩或者家人生病生活负担过重，当你感到工作压力过大时，你的惰性必然会滋生。如果把工作完全当成是自己的事情，那你随时都可以放弃。而当你看到你工作的社会价值，当你发现任何理由都不能让你在工作中得过且过时，我相信，大家会跟我一样，会选择让自我价值与社会价值一起实现。

所以，只有当你感受到职责和使命时，你才能做到坚持梦想，永不退却。

谢谢大家的聆听！

第5篇 马云励志演讲稿：哪里有抱怨，哪里就是机会

首先恭喜大家，祝福大家，这是中国最了不起的一所大学之一，尽管在我心里面中国最好的大学是杭州师范大学。大家觉不觉得学校的知识总是不够用，但是社会上的知识是取之不尽的。杭师大给了我是学习的能力，获取知识的能力，清华很好，但是清华的知识永远是不够用的，而你们今天所得到这个能力是取得自身的能力。我看到今天那么多阳光灿烂的笑脸，30年后不忘初心，依旧是这样的笑脸，这才是成功。

我今天在这谈一下我的感受和体验，高考我并不算很成功，考了几年，我数学1分那是真的，第二年考19分，第三年考了89分，但我从来没放弃过。

我给大家一个提醒，一个建议，提醒是今天你们获得中国最荣誉的毕业书，但是那只是一张纸，只证明这四年或者六年，或者八年，你父母为你付了很多的学费，这是一张学费的通知单而已，告诉你付了那么多学费，花了那么多时间做了很多的模拟考，这仅仅是模拟考而已。也给大家一个建议，如果你们毕业于清华大学，请大家用欣赏眼光看看杭师大的同学，如果你毕业于杭师大，请用欣赏的眼光看看自己，因为这社会上永远充满变化，永远充满着各种奇迹。

人生最后不管今天多么的成功，刚才学会计的学生说的，你最后死的时候才能够看看你到底赢了还是亏了，所以我觉得我们刚刚开始起步。我也相信今天毕业以后在座很多人都很担心，各种各样的担心，担心毕业以后我是学经管的，能当老板吗?我能找到一个好老板吗?能够找到好公司吗?其实这些担心都有，每天都有。我刚创业的时候天天担心能不能活下来，到后来我担心这个公司会不会长大，到今天长大了我担心它会倒下，现在的担心比以前多多了，我们每时每刻处于这份担心中，担心很正常，不担心才不正常。所以我想给大家的建议，也是真实的感受，这30年来，我天天在担心，但是我只是担心自己不够努力，我担心自己没看清楚灾难，我担心自己没把握好机遇。但有一点不用担心，你们一定会会到眼泪、冤枉、误区、倒霉各种事件，一定会碰上，这个不用担心，你碰到这个就是早知道会来的。

另外这是一个纠结的时代，在座所有的人今天毕业于纠结的时代，这个时代看起来充满着怀疑，充满着各种的不信任，学校的老师对学生是不信任的，学生对老师不信任，媒体对大众不信任，大众对媒体不信任，甚至有各种的担忧，老百姓对政府也有各种的不信任。这世界看起来缺乏各种各样的机会，但这世界看起来又有各种各样的机会，这世界看起来年轻人似乎是可以无所不能，什么事情都可以做，但看起来年轻人什么事情又都做不了。

所以我觉得这是一个纠结的时代，很恭喜大家来到了一个很了不起的纠结时代，因为纠结是一种变革，因为我们正在进入一个变革非常快速的时代。如果没有变革就不会有阿里巴巴的今天，阿里巴巴，马云有今天就是因为前30年中国的变革。

但是我想跟大家讲我心里的感受，未来30年中国的变革会更大，机会更大。从我这个行业来讲，这世界从it正在走向dt，这两个字的差异其实背后的思想、文化、社会方方面面都发生很大的差异。绝大部分的人今天站在it的角度看待世界，什么是it?it是以我为主，方便我管理，dt是以别人为主，强化别人，支持别人，dt思想是只有别人成功的你才会成功，这是一个巨大的思想的转变，有这个思想转变产生技术的转变，技术的转型。

所以我想跟大家讲，所有的变革都是年轻人的时代。当然，麻烦也会更多，但今天我看到那么多人以后，我在想70%、80%要成为阿里巴巴的员工就好了，我就不用那么担心了，真的。未来30年我想跟随大家，是你们会改变这个世界，是你们会把握这个机会。纠结、变革都是年轻人的机遇，也是这个时代的机遇。

不管你怎么看，我们经常说生意越来越难做，其实生意从来就没有好做的。年轻人纠结今天it行业阿里巴巴、腾讯、百度搞去了，我们刚出来也觉得机会给 ibm、思科、微软拿走了，但是你要相信，30年以后的今天中国企业一定比今天好，一定比明天大，30年后富人一定比今天多，30年以后的文化一定比今天丰富多彩，30年以后的年轻人一定超越我们，这就是世界的变化。我爷爷说我爸不如他，我爸说我不如他，我觉得我爸比我爷爷厉害，我比我爸厉害，你们会比我们厉害。

在变革的时代我也特别想给大家分享一下我自己的经历，前30年我是坚持三样东西，我也希望大家去反思和思考这三样对你是否有用，就是三个坚持。第一永远坚持理想主义，第二要坚持担当精神，第三要坚持乐观的正能量。

我永远相信“相信”，我相信未来，我相信别人超过相信自己。其实阿里巴巴我数学不好，管理也没学过，会计也不懂，连预算报表到今天为止，财务报表我也看不懂，这是真话，我并没有觉得这是丢人的，承认自己不懂并不丢人，不懂装懂很丢人。我到今天为止没到淘宝上购过一件物，我没用过支付宝，因为我不知道该怎么用，但我耳朵竖起来我老是在听支付宝到底好还是不好，因为我用多了我会捍卫自己的产品，但是我不用，你永远担忧自己，因为只有担忧让我晚上睡不着觉，只有我睡不着觉，这公司才睡得着觉。我们看了《中国合伙人》，这个电影很好，但是这个电影有很大的问题，男主人公老哭，其实创业者是不哭的，是让别人哭。所以我们永远相信未来，相信年轻人，相信别人，我如果不相信别人，阿里巴巴的程序写不出来，我不相信别人今天市场不会做的这么大，我们只是告诉大家什么是我们要坚持的。

第二个要有担当精神。支付宝今天存在巨大的争议，其实在__年准备做支付宝，做阿里金融的时候，我知道有一天会碰到这样的麻烦，我也纠结过。后来在达沃斯会议上听很多的政治家、企业家在谈论，什么是担当。你觉得是对的，对社会发展有利，你真相信，勇敢的担当起来去做。我记得那次会议以后，我在达沃斯打电话给公司说，立刻、现在、马上去做，如果出问题我愿意去解决。去年年初在阿里金融内部的会议上，我跟所有的同事讲，如果我们对中国金融改革有激活，有创新，如果基于这个有人要付出代价，我来。我相信大家如果真的带着完善这个社会的希望，激活金融，服务实业，稳妥创新，我们一定越走越好，因为社会总会越来越清晰。

今天社会缺乏理想主义，缺乏担当的时候更需要理想主义，更需要担当，不仅仅是你需要，不仅仅是社会需要，社会最缺的东西是最稀缺的资源，做那些别人不愿意做的事情，最需要的事情才有成就。有人说这个社会非常大，每天淘宝有几千万笔交易在进行，几千万人把自己的包裹送给一个完全不相信的人，交给快递不相信的人，辗转反复几千公里送到另外一个人，这是以前不可想象的，这是我们今天年轻人在以不同的方法，在以技术的方法在表达“信任”她真正存在。

第三个我希望大家坚持正能量，乐观的看待问题。我是犯过无数错误的人，今天阿里在前面__年内至少有100多次灭顶之灾都过来了，可以这么讲今天再来一遍，我们今天的人比那时候的多，我们今天的人知识和能力比那时候强，但是重新再走一遍我们一定走不出来。但是我们怎么走出来的?我们坚持乐观，我们相信这个世界你不成功有人会成功，我们相信阿里巴巴，淘宝能做得出来，一定有人做得出来，我们相信有人花更多的时间在学习这些东西，只是看我们是否够运气。所以我后来给自己的座右铭，也是给所有年轻人，给我同事的座右铭，“今天很残酷，明天更残酷，后天很美好，但是绝大部分人死在明天晚上”。这就是残酷的生活。所以你今天必须很努力，才能面对明天的残酷，明天你必须很努力，才有可能看到后天的太阳，但是绝大部分人看不到太阳的。你光努力还不够，还有运气，运气从哪里来?运气就是把自己好的时候多想想别人，自己不好的时候多检查检查自己，我相信会走过来。

今天我看到大家的微笑，这世界上最有力量的武器是用微笑化解所有的问题，我永远面带笑容，尽管我内伤很重。在中国要诞生了这么一家企业，在中国这样的市场环境下诞生，阿里巴巴是一个偶然，也是一个必然，因为市场机制，因为一帮年轻人相信我，我们在市场上能够做出这样的东西来。

在座的每一个人你们都经历了无数的挑战，我跟公司同事讲，很多人说没有机会，我们从来就没赢过，我说你赢过，在出生之前赢的是几亿颗精子和卵子赛跑出来的，来到这个世界你就成功了，来到这个世界你们又经过无数的考试进入了清华大学，获得了今天的毕业证书，你们已经有良好的起步，良好的机会，有很好的基础。但未必有基础的人会赢，未必你今天跑得快的人还是能走的很快，这世界就像足球一样，是圆的。我没有想过杭州师范大学的人可以当经管学院顾问，感谢钱院长给我的信任。世界是圆的，所以大家记住，今天你最好，未必明天最好，今天你最差，社会给了你很多的机会，只要你把握，只要努力总会有机会。

最后给大家一个建议，永远相信你的对手不在你边上，在你边上的都是你的榜样，哪怕这个人你特讨厌。很多年以前我说，我用望远镜都没有找到过对手，人家说你好骄傲。其实他们没有听我下一句，我望远镜找的不是对手，找的是榜样。你的对手可能在以色列，可能在你不知道什么地方，他比你更用功，你今天获得了清华的毕业，不学习了，你不读书了，因为你觉得我毕业于清华，而那个人毕业于杭师大，他不断在学习，但他不断在努力，不断在进取。所以这一点是我希望给大家讲的，战胜你自己，这是真正的英雄。

我想我们人类今天共同面临巨大的挑战，就是知识和教育跟不上技术的发展，但这正是我们的机会，什么是抱怨，哪里有抱怨，哪里就是机会。中国电子商务发展的这么好，跟阿里巴巴其实没什么关系，是中国原来经济的基础设施太差，我们相信了这件事情，走了十年而已。今天中国的电子商务超越了美国电子商务的总和，原因不是因为美国不努力，而是美国昨天的基础太好。美国没有互联网金融，是因为美国的金融环境实在太好，根本插不进去，中国的金融环境不太好，才给我们机会。所有昨天不好的事情都是你的机会，别人在抱怨的时候才是你看到机会所在。阿里有一样东西也是我想给大家分享的，我们花30年走到今天，不是3年，我们明白一个道理，什么是战略，就是做未来最重要的事情，坚持理想，坚持正能量，坚持乐观，坚持脚踏实地。我们从来就没有做成过一件事情，今天想做明天成功，或者今年做明年成功的事情，因为这样的机会永远轮不到我。今天你们最大的资本是年轻，因为年轻你可以花十年时间打败阿里巴巴，打败淘宝，如果你有这个想法，也许只要五年，如果你希望明年就打败，你可能一辈子都打败不了。

第6篇 关于机会的国旗下演讲稿精选

机会，顾名思义，就是指机遇，时机。这通常都是人们取得成功的一个必不可缺的重要因素。下面是小编带给大家的关于机会的国旗下演讲稿，希望大家喜欢。

关于机会的国旗下演讲稿

我想，谁都想拥有机会，一个好的机会，一个重要的机会，那么，大家有没有杨过，机会其实就在我们的手中?让我们一起来寻找机会吧!

一天，有个小偷，来到一个年经的小姐家偷东西，这位小姐装作不知道，并和他谈心，那个小偷顿时感到很不好意思，可这位小姐的笑是如此让人经松，让人放心。说着说着，这位小姐就渐渐了解了他。原来，眼前这个不务正业的小偷的家庭是如此让人心酸。

这个小偷的家境不是很贫穷，可他的父亲总是去赌博，一天不去就心痒痒，搞得家产一落千丈，他的母亲因为疾病而死，被迫退学的他为了生存，决定走一条不归路——偷窃，接着就发生了刚才的事。

这位小姐知道了这一切之后，深感同情。她走到衣柜旁，拿起一把小提琴，深情地拉了一曲动听的音乐，音乐声来回波来，阵阵汹涌，时如惊涛骇浪，又时如轻风戏海，一阵一阵地传入这个小偷的心中，他完全沉迷在这美妙的音乐中，这音乐，仿佛带着丝丝忧伤，如一位坚强的人却在为不幸而叹息。忽然，他站起来说：“我明白了，生活如此美妙，我应该抬起头面对生活!以后的路就由我走出一片光明吧!”这位小姐很惊讶他会说出这样的话来，接着，小姐把这把小提琴送给了这个小偷，他满怀谢意和歉意地接过小提琴，深深地鞠了个躬后，说了声谢谢，就回去了。

在回家的路上，他反复思考，终于决定珍惜这位小姐给予他的机会，他走向了音乐的大道。他不断地练习，拾垃圾来换钱买乐谱，一直到他的成功——他成为一个著名的音乐家!

当他抱着这个挽救了他的心灵的小提琴来到那位小姐家时，一个大婶告诉他，这位小姐因胃癌而去世了，而她正是在他离开的第三天死去的，他找到这位小姐的坟墓，为她拉了一曲歌，再次深深地鞠了个躬。

这位小姐可能永远也想不到，自已的一个小小的行动，能给他带来如此大的变化，如果她知道，可能也会很高兴的吧!

朋友们，请让我们珍惜机会，让生命迸发出它的闪亮点吧!

关于机会的国旗下演讲稿

机会，往往只有一次，错过了，其他机会也会失去。这句话，是我在经历了一件事后知道的。

那天是个晴朗的日子。

下午第一节课是美术课，我刚把画画了一半，下去抱作业的课代表叫我、周泽阳和余熙玮下去，说英语老师找我们有事。我们几乎是狂跑下去的。到了二楼办公室，英语老师grace(英文名)在椅子上转过来，问我们：“你们愿不愿意表演这个节目?一首英文歌，给你们听一下。”说完，她在电脑上搜索了一下，放给我们听。我没听懂一句，毕竟我还没学嘛。我们都犹豫了一会儿。其他二人表示同意，我则想了想：“嗯，那幅画还没画完呢，歌又那么难，信息课又上不了了，还是不答应吧。”于是，我否定了。

我刚出门，又被语文老师叫住了。他对我说：“机会往往只有一次，去还是不去，你应考虑一下。”老师和我说了几分钟。虽说是几分钟，可我觉得像过了几个小时，我勉强答应了。可犹豫了一会儿，我又放弃了。我回到教室，窗外的阳光依然那么明亮，似乎在鼓励我参加。美术课已经结束了。

下课了，这本来应该是我最快乐的时刻，大家都在玩，我却坐下了，思考这样做是不是错了。这一天，就在这两种思维中结束了。

几天过去了，他们在那天家长会后，表演了节目。听爸爸说，他们表演得很精彩。第二天，我看见，他们脸上充满了自信，看得出，他们很自豪，甚至有些骄傲。我很后悔。我放弃了一次表现自己的机会。

后来，因为这件事，许多我应该得到的机会都与我失之交臂，就因为我那一刻的放弃。这时，我才深刻体会到那句话的含义：

“机会，往往只有一次，错过了，其他机会也会失去。”

这句话，也许是人间一个永恒不变的真理。

那是第一节的英语课。课堂上，老师每次提出了问题后，课室里都只举着寥寥无几的手。见此情况，肖老师便开导我们说:“怎么总是这些同学举手啊?其他同学为什么不举手发言呢?举手发言是一个锻炼自己的好机会，特别是对你们口语能力的提高。大家不用害怕，把自己心中的答案说出来就可以啦!”此时的我心里早已有了答案，只是没勇气说出来而已。听了老师的动员，我便开始心动了。可心里有两个小人在打“口水仗”，一个小人说：“举手吧，这样能让你得到锻炼!”另一个小人却说：“千万不能举手啊，要是答错啦多丢人啊!”我的心里一直纠结着这个问题，等到鼓起勇气想去回答时，提问却又结束了。一阵悠扬的音乐声传来，一节英语课便在遗憾中结束了，留下的只是遗憾中带来的反思。

这一整天，我都在思考着这节英语课带来的问题。从中，我明白了很多很多：有时候，机会来敲你的门，你却没有把门打开，它便会无声无息地溜走;等到你后悔时，再想去把它找回来，就再也来不及了。因此，我们一定要把握好人生中的每一个机会，不让人生留任何的遗憾!

期待，期待，期待新一天的到来;期待一个新机会的到来!

关于机会的国旗下演讲稿

机会是靠自己创造的，而不是靠上天恩赐的。当机会来到时，我们要把握住机会，不让机会从我们身边溜走。

些机会的错过虽然表面是对我们来说没有什么影响，但如果时间一长，我们就会缺少许多锻炼的机会，会对我们今后的发展十分不利。导致我们在今后的漫漫人生路中失去更多，对我们更重要的机会。使我们不断的后悔，失望。

有人总是抱怨自己遇不到机会。但事实上，机会总是在不知不觉与我们擦肩而过。

我们最熟悉的例子就是：

班级或学校组的活动不积极参与。上课时老师提的问题不积极回答。

下面让我貌同分享两篇关于把握机会的文章。

《无偿捐赠的价值》

第二次世界大战结束后不久，战胜国决定成立一个处理世界事务的联合国。可在什么地方建立总部，一时间颇费思量。

地点理应选在一座大城市，可在任何一座繁华都市购买庞大的地皮都需要很大一笔资金，而对于刚刚起步的联合过来说，每一分钱都肩负重任。

就在各国首脑们商量来商量去的时候，洛克菲勒家族听说了这件事，立刻出资870万美金在纽约买下一块地皮，在人们的惊诧中无条件的捐给了联合国。

联合国总部大楼建起来之后，四周的地价立刻飙升起来，洛克菲勒家族在买下捐赠给联合国的那块地皮时，也买下了与这块地皮毗邻的全部地皮。没有人能计算出洛克菲勒家族凭借毗邻联合国的地皮获得了多少个870万美金。

《80后女孩破产，擦干眼泪重来》

蒋开平出生在永川一个农民家庭。20__年，他职高毕业后父亲拿出下苦力攒的3万元钱，让他在永川城区开了一家小服装店，但生意不好。

20__年，一位同学跟她聊天，说她有个亲戚抒州长青服装厂的高级管理人员，该厂生产的服装有一部分工序需拿到外厂加工，如绣花，缝制装饰品等。

随即，蒋开平只身到广州一家服装厂学艺。他负责技术，出任厂长，专门承接广州长青厂业务。由于她对技术要求高，获得大量业务，厂子很快由几名工人发展到50多名工人。

不久，她成为工厂最大股东，并将厂子迁至四川泸州市城区，并更名为俊逸服装厂，拥有工人500多名，专做外贸生意。当年她的服装厂年产值就超过500万元。

然而，正当蒋开平雄心勃勃地编织财富梦时，金融风暴来啦。

当时厂里承接的订单逐渐缩水，特别是最大的客户-------新加坡一架服装厂，订单量锐减90%，交出去的货还收不到钱，去年3月，他打电话到对方公司，发现电话已经停机，赶到新加坡，该公司已宣布破产，且已错过处置资产的公示期。这下，她的150多万货款全没啦。与此同时，厂里的国外订单全部取消，工厂苦撑两个月后，被迫破产。

一天，父母的开导激发了蒋开平的灵感——现在，国家正大力扶持农民养猪，不但免费提供技术，母猪意外死亡，还能得到补偿，何不办一个养猪场呢?最终，在父母的支持下，她的养猪场建成了。今年春节前，养猪场共出栏生猪700多头，一次性收回成本70多万元。今年，她的养猪场生猪出栏量预计1300多头，收回成本并赢利，指日可待。

我们不能等待上天的恩赐，而需要向上天索取——这就是我们的任务!

让我们把握机会，一同创造美好的未来!

关于机会的国旗下演讲稿

“机会”这个词，说起来容易，做起来未必容易，机会不是每个人都有的，来时需要每个人去争取，每个人是不同的，这正如世上没有两片完全性同的树叶。左翼每个人的机会也是各不相同，有的人把机会当作一笔财富，而有的人却对机会置之不理。

记得小时候，听别人讲过这样一个故事:一个名为松下公司的外企,招一名会计,又因为这是一家跨国性的大公司，所以这是许多年轻人向往的地方,终于到了面试的那一天,公司里人山人海,经过严格的笔试之后,又经过细心的筛选,最后只剩下三位非常出色的女大学生了,经理让他们明天再来进行口试。到了第二天，三位女大学生都穿着漂亮的衣服来了，而经理却一人发给他们一件衣服和一个黑皮包，对他们说“现在我所给你们的每一件衣服上都有一块污迹，你们必须在八点十五之前到总经理室去进行口试，并且我提醒你们一句，总经理喜欢干净整洁、落落大方的人，你们身上的污迹最好被让总经理发现否则你会被淘汰的。”

这时，a女大学生赶紧拿出手帕纸来擦，而其结果是污迹越擦越脏、越擦越大，这时，a女大学生非常的着急，苦苦央求经理，想让他再换一件，可是，经理带着遗憾的口气说：“不好意思，你已经被淘汰了，”a女大学生哭着离开了，b女大学生看局势不行，所以飞奔的跑到洗手间，想设法用水将污迹冲洗干净，她洗了一遍又一遍，果然，污迹没了，胸前却湿了一大片，这时，b女大学生一看表，已经快到八点十五了，她整理了一下，飞奔向总经理室，到了总经理室门前，一看表，正好八点十五，b女大学生缓缓打开门，只见c女大学生正要从屋里出来，b看见c女大学生胸前还有那块污迹，她这才放了心。

她胸有成竹的走了进去，总经理看到他眼前的那块“湿地”，对她说:“现在我宣布胜出者，那就是c女大学生，”b女大学生非常的惊讶，很不服气，总经理看出了她的心思，微笑着说：“c女大学生用她的黑皮包挂在胸前，挡住了那块污迹，我想，如果我没猜错的话，她现在已经在洗手间里，大概你的黑皮包落在洗手间里了吧!”b女大学生心服口服的离开了总经理室。

机会，是每个人通向成功的一把金钥匙，只有把握好现在的每一次机会，才能在其中锻炼自己，将自己置身于竞争的行列当中.

第7篇 米歇尔·奥巴马在2022年大学机会峰会英语演讲稿

thank you. (applause.) thank you all so much. thank you. well, you guys rest yourselves. you’ve been very busy. (laughter.) you’re being spoken to a lot. i hear my husband was here. (laughter.) but it is truly a pleasure to be here with all of you today, and i want to thank you so much for joining us for this year’s college opportunity day of action. you should be proud. we’re already proud of you, and this day has just already been a tremendous success.

of course i want to start by thanking homero. i mean, he’s just an amazing story, an amazingperson, and i’m grateful for that wonderful introduction. we have to give him another round ofapplause. (applause.) a clear reminder of why we’re here today and what we’re working for.

i also want to recognize the jack kent cooke foundation, as well as the lumina foundation, forhelping to make this event possible. let’s give them a round of applause as well. (applause.)

and of course, as we come together to talk about the importance of college counseling, iespecially want to recognize all of the school counselors here today. yes! (applause.) you canraise the roof for yourselves. a little raising the roof. (laughter.) but i think we can all agreethat all of our counselors, all of you have one of the hardest, but most important jobs in oureducation system, yet too often you don’t get the resources, the support or the appreciationthat you need and deserve. and that has serious consequences not just for our kids, but forour country.

i mean, let’s be honest with ourselves – when it comes to college counseling in our nation’sschools, there are two worlds. as many of you know, while the american school counselorassociation recommends no more than 250 students per counselor, the national average is onecounselor for every 471 students. so too many of our kids go through high school with little, ifany, real guidance on how to get into college.

they don’t know what classes to take, or how to prepare for the sat or the act. no one helpsthem decide which colleges to apply to. no one reviews their applications. and plenty of kidshave no idea that they’re eligible for financial aid, so they assume they just can’t afford college,and they don’t even bother to apply.

now, that’s one world. the other world is much smaller – it’s a world of schools where thequestion isn’t where students are going to college, but – or whether they’re going to college,but where. kids in this world start preparing for college long before they even start high school.and from the first day of freshman year, they’ve been shepherded through every step of theprocess. they’ve got sat and act prep courses, they take those tests again and again toimprove their scores. counselors have much smaller caseloads, and they walk kids throughevery deadline, they edit every draft of their essays. honestly, when barack and i talk aboutthis, we look at the kind of college counseling many of the kids are getting today and we wonderhow we ever managed to get ourselves into college.

so the fact is that right now, a small number of students are getting every advantage in thecollege admissions race, while millions of other students who are just as talented can’t evenbegin to compete. (applause.) and as the college presidents here all know, the result is thatcolleges aren’t always getting all of the very best students. they’re getting the students whocan best afford to succeed in this system. and we are leaving behind so many bright, hungry,promise-filled kids. we are depriving ourselves of so much human potential in this country –from the scientific discoveries these kids might make, to the businesses that they might build,to the leadership that they might one day show in our communities.

we’re missing all of that. we’re also losing all of that simply because we aren’t making the basicinvestment in their future today, and that’s a tragedy. it’s a tragedy for our country. it’s atragedy for those kids and for their families, because we all know – we know – that if you wantto secure a decent-paying job in today’s economy, a high school diploma simply isn’t enough.

so unlike 40 or 50 years ago, higher education is no longer just for kids in the top quarter orthe top half of the class, it has to be for everyone. so we are going to need a college-counselingsystem that reflects this new reality. (applause.)

now, that’s easier said than done. we know that this isn’t going to happen overnight. we knowthat states and school systems are facing all kinds of budget challenges. but one of my coremessages to students through my reach higher initiative is that no matter what is going on attheir school or in their family, i’ve been trying to tell kids that no matter what resources theymay have or not have, that they still need to take responsibility for their education. i tell themthat they need to do the work to reach out to teachers who can help them. they need toresearch schools in their communities on their own. they need to find that fafsa form onlineand fill it out.

so my message to all of you is the same: we all need to step up and do what we can with theresources we have, especially when it comes to supporting our school counselors. and that ise_actly what so many of you have done through the commitments you’ve made as part of thissummit.

universities across the country have pledged to create college and career-readiness courses intheir masters programs for school counselors. school districts are partnering with nonprofits andcolleges to provide training for counselors once they’re in our schools. nonprofits are steppingup to improve student-and-counselor ratios and bringing recent graduates into schools toserve as role models and mentors.

and these are just the highlights. altogether, these commitments represent tens of millions ofdollars that will impact hundreds of schools and countless students. these are outstandingcommitments, and we need more efforts like these all across this country. every one of us has arole to play.

so for the superintendents here today, i know you all are struggling with so many demandsunder such tight budgets, but can you do more to support your counselors? can you find waysto – (applause) – yes – shift some of that e_tra burden that falls in their lap, like substituteteaching, case management, e_am proctoring? can you give them more time to actuallycounsel students?

to the college presidents here, can you do even more to make college counseling part of yourmission to get the very best students to your schools? and can the foundations and nonprofitorganizations help in that work? can you rethink the college admissions process to find more ofthose students who’ve got what it takes to succeed but haven’t had the chance to develop theirpotential? can you create college prep centers in your communities and ensure that test-prepclasses are affordable for all of our kids?

and for those of you who are concerned that perhaps this type of involvement might falselyraise hopes of admission to your school – because i’ve heard that as well – just consider the factthat while many of the kids you help might not be the right fit for your college or university,but they will be the right fit for another school, and maybe that other school will help preparestudents for admission to your school. (applause.)

so this is really a collective effort, and everyone can benefit. and as you all step up to take onthese issues, really, i really want to hear about what you’re doing. and that’s one of the reasonswhy i recently announced two new reach higher commencement challenges. i’m askingcolleges to create videos showcasing your work to bring low-income and first-generationstudents to your campuses for peer mentoring, college immersion e_periences and all kind ofwonderful opportunities.

and for the high schools, i want to see videos about what you’re doing to increase your fafsacompletion rates to help more students afford college. and for those schools with the winningvideos, i just might pay a visit around commencement time, if you know what i mean – (laughter) – to let you know how impressed i am.

so i hope that you all will go to reachhigher.gov and get more information, because i’m eagerto see what you all are doing. i know you’re going to do some great things. you see, i know thatthe smallest, most local efforts can make such a difference in the lives of our young people.

and i’m thinking today of a school called la cueva high school in albuquerque, new me_ico. afew years ago, the college counseling staff at that school met with a young woman namedroberta gutierrez during her sophomore year. roberta was an e_cellent student, so they urgedher to take the psat and come up with a list of colleges that she wanted to apply to. now, whileroberta took the test, she never came up with that list – and i’m sure you know why.

but then, at the beginning of roberta’s school year, her counselors learned that she had beennamed a national merit semi-finalist with a psat score in the top 1 percent of the entire state.so the counselors – yes, good stuff – (applause) – the counselors immediately informedroberta that she would be eligible for thousands of dollars in scholarships. and roberta, ofcourse, she was shocked. she told them that she never made the list of colleges because herfamily lived from paycheck to paycheck, so she didn’t think she could afford tuition. she toldthem that just to pay the $15 fee to take the psat, she had to skip lunch for a week.

and after meeting with roberta, the counseling staff decided that no student at their schoolwould ever again have to choose between eating and taking a test that opens the doors tocollege. so they now hold fundraisers – yes. (applause.) they hold fundraisers throughout theschool year to ensure that low-income students can take the psat for free. and they go out oftheir way to tell every family about the financial aid resources that are available for college.

and as for roberta, she is now in her junior year on a full scholarship at the university of newme_ico, and she’s planning to get a phd in psychology – yes. (applause.)

you all know these stories. there are so many kids just like roberta all across this country, andthey’re bright. these kids are determined. these are the kids who have everything it takes tosucceed if we would just give them that chance. and that’s what the counselors and leaders atla cueva high school did for roberta – they gave her a shot at the future she deserved.

and just think about the ripple effect that those counselors will have in transforming just onestudent’s life. think about the difference roberta can make when she gets that phd. think of allthe patients she might treat, all the groundbreaking research she might do. think of the rolemodel that she will be – she already is – inspiring countless young people just like her topursue their dreams.

there are millions of young people like roberta all across this country, and they are counting onus to step up for them. they’re counting on us to give them opportunities worthy of theirpromise. and that is e_actly what all of you are doing every single day. that is the purpose ofthe commitments that you’ve made as part of this summit. that’s why i’m proud and honoredto be here.

and i want to close today simply by saying thank you, truly. thank you. thank you for yourpassion. thank you for your dedication. thank you for your tremendous contributions to thiscountry. i look forward to continuing our work together. we got a lot more stuff to do. and icannot wait to see all that you are going to achieve in the months and years ahead.

so thank you so much. keep it up. and let’s bring more people to the table. you all take care.thanks so much. (applause.)

第8篇 竞聘演讲稿——给我一次机会，绿叶变红花

尊敬的各位领导、各位评委、同志们：

大家好！今天我怀着激动的心情，登上了这个特别的舞台，感谢组织给我提供了一次，难得的学习、锻炼和参与竞争的机会。首先做下自我介绍，我是来自×信用社的××，2007年参加工作，现为×信用社会计，拟竞聘信用社主任。

这两个字对于我来说非常的亲切，那里有着我信合事业的启蒙。在a一年的会计工作中，使我的业务水平有了长足的提高，加上我对×乡已经非常了解，相信自身已经能够胜任b信用社主任一职，同时，b的同事都是我的老师，我在那里展开工作将如鱼得水，干起工作将游刃有余，相信干出的工作成绩和今年属相一样：牛！

如果这次竞聘有幸成为b信用社主任，我将在联社的正确领导下，围绕各项目标任务，同全社员工携手同心，不断创新工作思路和方法，努力完成联社下达的各项任务。现对工作思路做以下阐述：

一是对自己严格要求，提高自身业务素质和管理水平。充分利用业余时间学习金融、党政知识和科学文化知识，来提升自身修养。同时，做到“严于利己，宽以待人”，做好全社的表率作用，以热情真诚的心来赢得客户，以坦诚宽容的心来团结同事，以高效出色的工作来回报组织。

二是积极与联社沟通，及时掌握工作动态和学习了解联社新的文件精神；同时定期与同事交心谈心，经常展开批评与自我批评，发动他们积极献言献策，发挥他们的才能，让其才尽其所用，为b信用社的发展添砖加瓦。

三是做好组织存款的工作。b地处自贡南部边锥，与宜宾接壤，主动积极吸收宜宾存款，和发扬走村串户的优良传统，做到经常与存款大户联系，为其提供方便，如提供零钱、更换破钞等；同时，把存款重点放在加强优质服务，做到老客户不走，新客户常来；其次，积极争取地方党政的支持，做好旺季资金回笼工作，减少存款外流，牢牢站稳农村金融市场。

四是加强信贷投放力度，努力提高信贷资产质量。2009年是许多行业的一个寒冬，在这样的背景下，金融行业的发展潜力是有的，许多企业和个体户需求资金过冬。同时，等金融风暴刮完，百废具兴的时候就到了，许多行业需求更多资金来谋求更大的发展。在这个充满机遇时刻，我将做到经常下乡调查了解农户资金需求，加大对农户资金支持，并及时掌握了解__或自井地区个体户或企业信贷需求。其次，认真分析不良贷款成因，加大对不良贷款的清收力度，我上任后将带领全社员工对不良贷款进行地毯式清收，对赖帐户做到“杀一儆百”的效果。

第9篇 如果我有机会去小学英语演讲稿

if i had a chance to go to some place else, i will go to los angelus, america.

i’ll go there because i like the climate there. in spring, it will be drier than guangzhou, so things there won’t get moist. in summer, although it’s hot, but won’t be hot to death. in autumn and winter, it won’t get too cold. and it’s not semi-tropical, so there won’t be too moist in the forest. the air there is cool, dry. it’s also not polluted, so it smells good. the living area there is near-by. it won’t be tens or hundreds kilometers between a living area to another. it’s just some meters between.

that’s why i like going to los angelus.

第10篇 励志演讲稿-机会只属于有准备的人

尊敬的各位老师和我亲爱的师弟师妹们：

大家好！

从来没有想过能够以今天这样一种身份和方式重回人大的校园，在感到荣幸的同时，也感到压力。我问自己，人大法学院的骄子们在这个时刻是否还有人愿意聆听一个有了好几个代沟的师姐在这唠叨？如果侥幸还有人说愿意的话，我要对大家说什么？我能带给大家什么？在提出这些问题的同时，我似乎看到了当年自己毕业时的兴奋和忐忑，也记起自己从事知识产权审判18年来的辛苦和收获。在我的成长过程中，得到过很多师长、领导和同事的提醒、指导与帮助。所以，我希望我能把从他们那里得到的关爱传递给你们。今天，我从个人的经历谈三点体会，如果其中能有只言片语给大家一点触动，也算没有辜负老师的期望，没有浪费大家的时间。

我的第一个体会是：认清职责，坚持梦想。

在这里，我想先问同学们一个问题，你对工作是如何认识的？是当做谋生的手段，还是当做事业？如果是要成就一番事业，我的感受是，只有把个人的追求与国家的发展、集体的荣誉凝结在一起时，才会更有动力，更有价值。听起来是不是有点空？但我身有体会。

1994年7月，我刚刚进入法院工作。一次，跟同事去修自行车，修车的师傅问我们在哪工作，我们回答“法院”。正埋头修车的师傅抬头望了我们一眼，意味深长地说“法院？法院好啊！”这个好，听得我很难受。我知道，当时流行着一句顺口溜“大盖帽，两头翘，吃完原告吃被告”，那就是法官在公众中的形象。当时，我就想，虽然我个人是渺小的，但是要从我做起，我相信，通过无数个我的努力，会改变社会对法官的认知，总会有一天公众会把法官当做“公正的化身”。

虽然成为一名好法官是我的职业梦想，但是刚刚参加工作的我，并不了解自己从事的知识产权审判工作的意义。当时庭长的一句话，让我时刻牢记心中，让我能在18年来的工作中认认真真对待每一起案件。他说：“知识产权无小案”。在工作中我逐渐认识到，一项专利可能影响一个行业的发展，一件商标可以决定一个企业的生死存亡。作为知识产权法官，我们不仅需要平衡当事人双方的利益，甚至要考虑我们的判决对于科技创新、文化发展的影响，我们肩上的担子很重。有了这份责任感，我才有了前进的动力。

__年，我获得了公派留学英国的机会。留学时的一些经历，也使自己受到很多触动。初见教知识产权法的教授，当我介绍自己是一名从事知识产权审判的中国法官时，教授不以为然地摇摇头说：中国？中国有知识产权保护吗？虽然中国知识产权专业司法保护已经开展了7年，但是国外对中国不了解，不认可。那一刻，我的心被刺痛了。一种从未有过的强烈的使命感和责任感油然而生，也就在那一刻，我告诉自己一定要更加发奋图强，要通过我审理的案件，让外国的当事人及司法同行们，真正看到中国司法的发展与进步，领略到中国法官的素质与风采。

这些经历，时刻会提醒我作为法官、作为中国的知识产权法官的职责和使命。正是有了这种信念，我才能不懈努力和坚持。

回想起来，如果我仅仅是把工作当成谋生的手段，或者仅仅是当成自己的事业，是很难坚持下来的。比如，当你没有了生存的压力，当你生病，当你因生了小孩或者家人生病生活负担过重，当你感到工作压力过大时，你的惰性必然会滋生。如果把工作完全当成是自己的事情，那你随时都可以放弃。而当你看到你工作的社会价值，当你发现任何理由都不能让你在工作中得过且过时，我相信，大家会跟我一样，会选择让自我价值与社会价值一起实现。

所以，只有当你感受到职责和使命时，你才能做到坚持梦想，永不退却。

我的第二个体会是：机会只属于有准备的人。

我相信在座的每一位同学都有梦想，但是你们有没有想过如何能成就梦想？大家也都知道成就梦想需要机会，那我希望大家能经常问自己两个问题，问题一：机会会无缘无故落到你头上吗？问题二：当机会来临时，你准备好了吗？

离开校园，初入职场，我相信大家都对未来充满了希望。但是，我想给大家泼一点冷水。外面的世界很精彩，有时候，外面的世界也很无奈。每个人都要做好充分的思想准备。比如，刚刚参加工作，没有哪一个单位会把你当成大人物，你只能是一个小职员。如果你选择了进入法院，可能你要做好几年的书记员，你每天的主要工作是记笔录、填写各种诉讼文件、订卷；如果你选择进入机关，可能你在很长一段时间内的主要工作是复印资料、写各种通知和报告、开会、办会务。当你发现，现实与你的理想差距很大时，怎么办？我给大家的回答是，接受并充分利用它。

进入法院，我是从小书记员做起，也做过内勤，就是给全庭做好后勤保障服务的工作，距离审判业务还比较远。就是这么一个普通的职位，我干了6年。可能有人会问，你是怎么坚持的？有没有想过放弃？我的答案很简单，我热爱审判工作，那是我的职业理想，所以我要坚持。虽然我当时所做的一切都显得那么微不足道，但我会尽心完成好每一项任务。我会利用一切机会多听、多看、多学、多做。听法官讨论案件，揣摩他们的办案思路；看法官如何处理与当事人的关系，掌握审判技巧；学习案件中涉及的一切法律知识，为当法官打下坚实基础；做一切不管是分内还是分外的工作，多给自己锻炼的机会。

虽然这段时间很漫长，很辛苦，但事实证明，有付出，必然有回报。我的努力得到了领导和同事的认可。我不断得到各种锻炼的机会，比如：参加新类型、媒体关注度高、疑难复杂案件的审理，在一些研讨会上做主题发言，参与庭着作的出版，执笔一些重要的领导讲话或者课题报告。尤其是在我还是一名普通书记员的时候，被选派至伊朗参加世界知识产权组织召开的“亚太地区执行trips协议情况”研讨会，并用英语做主题发言。

回过头来，当我以一个管理者的身份重新看自己的经历时，我发现，我所获得的那些机会绝非偶然。从管理者的视角来看，我在决定把机会给谁，或者遇到重要的工作决定用谁时，我会考虑哪些因素？我最看重的是责任心和实力。只有赢得信任，让我相信他有能力很好地完成任务的时候，我才会把机会交给他。所以，我想告诉在座的师弟师妹们，不要小看任何一个不起眼的工作任务，他们都是你赢得信任和展示实力的重要机会。如果你懈怠了，等于是把好机会让给了别人。

我的第三个体会是：面对困难一定要选择勇敢和坚强。

我在做一次网络直播时，有网友问我：“我已经工作了两年多，认为自己很努力，但是得不到认可。姜法官，如果你没有获得这么多荣誉，你还会坚持吗？”我能理解提问者的心情，但不知道如何真正给予她指导和帮助。

我也经常看到有报道说某某大学的博士生或者硕士生自杀了。这些新闻会让我心里更沉重。

今天，我特别想说，大家可能看到了我那些荣誉的光环，但没有谁真正看到这背后我付出的艰辛和努力。在我成长的过程中，从来没有想过会有这些荣誉，我只是在做我认为自己该做的事，这些荣誉只是我努力付出的副产品。所以，是否有这些荣誉的肯定，不会影响我的抉择，不会影响我前进的脚步。

讲到这，可能有人会摇头。我想还是亲身经历更有说服力。大家从媒体上看到的我可能是一个成功的法官形象，但事实上，不论在生活中还是在工作上，我都遇到过很大的挫折，没有经历的人可能难以想象。首先说工作，由于级别晋升的制度问题，我做了6年的书记员，在担任副庭长前，担任了6年的庭长助理。这是什么概念呢？现在的本科毕业生一般4-5年可以做法官，研究生毕业3年就可以做法官。而庭长助理也是很有特色的一个职位，一般是1年助理后晋升副庭长，而我因为做助理时是副科级，不能直接跳到副处级当副庭长，再加上一些晋升制度的历史变革问题，一助就是6年，在全国都绝无仅有。这些算不算是很大的考验呢？再说生活，1995年，我被确诊为患有类风湿性关节炎，在1995年到__年期间，病情发展迅速。最严重时，全身关节疼痛难忍，夜间睡觉不敢翻身，被子掉了，自己提不起来，行走困难，我当时的感慨是“原来能自如行走也是一种幸福”。今天，我把这些经历翻出来给大家看，不是想告诉大家我有多优秀、多伟大。我是希望，当你们面对困难时，想想姜颖法官，我希望你们能象我一样选择勇敢和坚强，没有什么是克服不了的。在要退缩时，请不要仅仅想到自己，因为你们的一切是与父母、家庭和社会紧密联系在一起的，所以，不要轻言放弃。

亲爱的师弟师妹们，因为我爱母校，所以我爱你们。因为做人大法律人是我的荣耀和骄傲，所以我也希望你们能跟我一样，为我们这个集体的荣誉奋进前行！

最后，我特别想说的是，感谢人大法学院对我的培养，在校期间学习的法律知识，培养的法律逻辑是我从事好审判工作的基石。我还要特别感谢我的授业恩师刘春田教授以及班主任郭禾教授，他们不仅于我在校期间传授知识和做人的道理，而且在我工作中每次遇到困难时，也都伸出无私的援助之手，给我以强大的力量支撑，让我倍受温暖和感动。仅仅说感谢太无力，我会在日常工作和生活中继续努力，用成绩回报母校和恩师！

谢谢大家！

第11篇 励志演讲稿：大学是人生翻盘的机会吗？

亲爱的来自北京各个高校的同学们，大家下午好!

非常感谢大家来到这么一个特殊的地方，也感谢大家在下午顶着非常晒的太阳，来这儿听我和李开复跟大家聊大学生活。请问我们现在坐的地方的背后是什么?圆明园。可以说中国的近代史就是由圆明园的废墟开始的历史。圆明园是哪一年被烧掉的?大家都知道1860年英法联军。为什么远离万里之外的英国和法国跑到我们中国这个首都之地把圆明园给烧掉?最根本的原因是什么?是因为圆明园里面有好东西吗?是因为圆明园没人保护吗?还是因为圆明园中国人民当时没有能力保护?很明显的是没有能力保护。谁都知道，中国近100多年的发展史是一部耻辱的历史。近30年中国改革开放的历史，是一部从耻辱中间不断地站起来的历史。

今天的中国在世界上已经有了一定的地位。20年前我申请到美国去的时候，不断地被拒签，今天我们想要去美国或者西方其他国家基本上可以拿到签证，这一点表明了我们变得不断强大。但是，站在这个地方，我们可以清楚地知道，一个国家如果很贫弱的话就会受到欺负。这是为什么邓小平总结了一句话，非常简单的一句话，叫做“发展是硬道理”。今天的中国有了一定的地位，但是依然不够强大。我们所说的强大，不是说要能够战胜所有的国家，不是说要打到英国大英博物馆或者打到法国的卢浮宫，去把东西抢回来。我们所说的强大，是从经济、政治、文化到精神的强大。

我们在座的每个人一辈子的历史，它可以是光荣的，也可以是耻辱的;它可以是失败的，也可以是成功的。你想变得成功，你想变得光荣，不在于外在的任何条件，而在于你自身。不在于说你本身现在是什么地位，而在于一辈子你到底具备什么样的梦想。我们很多同学在一路奋斗以后，走进了北京的大学。在座的有来自有北大、清华这样的名牌学校，也有像吉利大学这样的民办学校。似乎我们进入大学的门槛和分数是不一样的，但是同学们请记住，这只是你人生的一个起点。在过去从小学到中学毕业的2022年的历史，我们经历了艰苦卓绝的奋斗。因为如果我们不努力、不奋斗，就不可能走进大学。但是，走进大学，只是一次生命真正的开始。

我们大家都知道，只要你保证身体健康就能活很多年。假如我们能活到100岁，那你还有80年的事要做。很多同学说，我现在已经比别的同学差得很远，我未来到底怎么样才能改善?我有一句话，人最重要的是志向，是内心的渴望，而不是外在的条件。从外在条件来说，我们人一辈子，从出生的那一天开始就是不平等的，生而不平等，这是一个事实。你出生在农民家里和出生在官宦家里的条件是不一样的，能得到的资源也是不一样的。但是，我们人的一辈子的奋斗过程，就是不断地去使自己有能力获取更大的资源、实现更大的梦想，并且回过头来把这种资源贡献给社会的过程。所以，当有人问我说，俞老师，我这辈子还能追上别人吗?像你这样的成就或者像你做的事情，我未来还可以做到吗?我可以肯定地告诉你：只要我能做到，你就能做到;只要李开复能做到，你就能做到;只要马云能做到，你就能做到。因为我们这些人的起点并不比你更高，某种意义上说，甚至应该比你更低。人生一辈子不是百米赛跑，如果百米赛跑早跑一秒钟或者晚跑一秒钟，你可能就会晚到一秒钟或者早到一秒钟。人生走的是无穷无尽的马拉松，马拉松不需要去计较你的起点是落后了还是站在第一名，马拉松计较的是你到底能够走多远，到底能够坚持走多久。如果说你能坚持走出足够的距离，哪怕你放慢一点儿速度，只要前进的方向是清晰的，未来你就能走出别人所没有走出来的距离，你就能看到别人没有看到的风景。我只是希望我们在座的所有同学们，不要像圆明园一样，最后自己被倒成一片废墟，而自己的生命回顾起来也是一片废墟。我们希望的是，现在趁着我们还很年轻，趁着我们还有理想，趁着我们还有激情，就应该让生命进一步地前行，让生命进一步地发出光彩和热。

同学们，我们现在站在了新的起点上，就是我们的大学生活。我刚才说过，如果我们大学生活要往前走的话，我们不需要太关注过去，不需要关注现在所在的大学是好还是坏，不需要关注家庭出身是农民还是工人，不需要关注长相是好看还是难看，甚至未来不需要关注你到底能够到国外去读书还是留在国内读书，因为所有这一切都是外在的东西。外在的东西尽管在一定阶段对我们来说是很重要的，但是从长远的一辈子来说，对我们来说是不重要的。

以大学为例子，我们进了北大或者清华这样的大学固然好，但并不是每一个走进北大的学生就必然成功。我看到了很多北大的学生，进了北大就不学习了;看到很多北大的学生，由于学习压力非常重，心理很有问题;也看到了一些北大的学生，在大学毕业以后无所事事。当然，我想清华等这样的学校也有这样的情况。但是我看到很多二本三本的学生，他们在经过了自己全力以赴的努力以后，研究生就考上了北大、清华或者是进入了世界名牌大学。

我认识的一个朋友，中专毕业以后，经过了一段时间的工作，他发现中专学历远远不够。他之所以上中专，不是因为他笨，而是因为他的家庭条件实在太差。在当时那个年代，应该是接近30年以前，上中专一般都是师范学院，而师范学院是不需要交任何费用的，所以他只能选择中专。工作以后，发现这是远远不够的。后来就开始努力自学，上了大专。考上以后，他觉得大专还是不够。现在一般来说要学到本科才能考研究生，但那时只要是大专毕业了就可以考研究生。所以，大专毕业之后，他下定决心要考研究生，而且要考就考最好的学校。所以，最后目标锁定在北大。他辞掉了工作，在北大外面租了一间房子，努力自学了三年，最后终于考上了北京大学政治系的研究生。北大毕业以后，成了公务员，进入了北京非常好的一个中央单位工作。在中央单位工作的时候，觉得自己一杯开水、一张报纸这样的日子不是自己想要奋斗的目标，所以业余时间就来新东方学托福、学gre，目标是要到世界名牌大学读书。在新东方学了差不多两年，把这两门考试考过去了，最后通过努力，进入了哈佛大学肯尼迪政治学院。毕业以后，在国外工作了一段时间，刚好遇到政府希望到国外招聘一些在国外毕业后想回到中国工作的机会。回来以后，很快进入了中国的厅局级管理干部的行列。由于他的志向，由于他的努力，由于他中西方文化结合的背景，所以很快变成了中国的比较重要的管理干部之一。

有无数的中专生就是以中专生结束了自己的一辈子。但是我们有可以看到，有一个中专生可以奋斗到哈佛大学的毕业生，这就是一路奋斗的历程。我们常常说，名牌大学的人好像有一些更加硬性的条件，但我刚才也说过了，并不是每一个名牌大学的人都能成功。

我跟马云有很多相似之处。马云高考考了三年，我也考了三年;马云考的是英语专业，我也考的是英语专业;三年以后，我考上了北京大学，他考上了杭州师范学院。大家都知道，这是一所大家都没听说过的学校。如果你现在曾经听说过这个学校，一定是因为先听说了马云，才听说了这所学校。我跟马云到今天为止还有很多相似之处，我们两个人都可以用英文做报告，我们两个人到今天为止依然保持着自己的学士学位。也就是说，我们的最高学历是学士。但是大家可以看到，学校和学位不能阻挡一个人的成长。我曾经认为我比马云要做得更好一点儿，因为我毕竟是北大的。但是，大家都知道，马云一个人做出了我10个人可能都做不出的事情。我做了近20年只做出一个新东方，马云真正的创业(阿里巴巴)是1999年开始的，也就是比我做得还要晚。但是他现在除了阿里巴巴以外，有有淘宝网。

所以大家可以看到，一个人的成功跟你所上的学校没有必然的联系，跟你内心的冲动有关系，跟你内心的渴望有关系。所以我常常说，一个人可以过贫困的生活，一个人可以过孤独的生活，但是一个人不能过内心没有火焰的生活，一个人不能过内心没有渴望和向往的生活。我说的这些渴望和向往，不是指你每天渴望吃一顿饭，不是说你每天渴望喝两瓶啤酒，不是说渴望每天要交几个女朋友或者男朋友，尽管你可以有这些渴望，但是所有这些渴望应该放在你更大的渴望之上。这份渴望，就是渴望自己能够变得伟大，渴望自己能够变得成功，渴望自己能够变得有影响力，渴望自己能够养活自己、养活家庭，渴望自己为这个社会做贡献。这种渴望是你走向未来的强大动力。

一个人就像一个植物一样，如果内心没有长大的种子，你永远长不大。这是我在中央电视台说过的着名的树和草的比喻。如果你内心只是草的种子，你就是草;如果你内心是树的种子，你必然会长成树。在人的心里，树的种子和草的种子是可以变换的，不像自然界，让松树的种子变成杨树是不太容易的，让草的种子变成松树也是不可能的。但是，人是可变的，人的改变往往是一瞬间的事情。只要你内心想要把自己变得崇高、变得伟大，你就能改变。所以，首先我们要求在座的同学都要做到一点，就是要有一个渴望自己成长的种子。

人的成长有两种：一种叫做自然成长;另一种叫做心灵的成长。我们在座的所有同学都可以自然地成长。你完全可以预料到你18岁到30岁会是怎么样，30岁到40岁怎么样，到50岁怎么样。现在如果经过电脑的精确计算，你能够精确地看到90岁长成什么样。我曾经输入过我的头像，发现90岁是一个干瘪的、头发花白、满脸皱纹的，但充满智慧的老头形象。我相信我这个人可能一辈子什么都会丢掉，但是有一点肯定不会丢，就是我对生活的渴望和对自己创造的渴望。在我的生命中，杨振宁教授一直是我学习榜样。杨振宁教授今年已接近90岁的生命，还在不断地到处做演讲，指导年轻的科学家。人是一种可以不断地燃烧，可以源源不断地发现自己的能量，可以不断地产生燃气的这样一种动物。你只要想烧，永远是烧不完的。 大家有没有发现一个现象：只有懒惰的人身体才会不好，而勤奋、有理想的人往往身体会不断地好起来。像年纪大的人中间，那些勤劳的人往往很少得老年痴呆症，而那些不需要干活的人常常会得老年痴呆症。为什么?他不再行动，不再动脑子。从这个意义上来说，人像动物一样，是要干活的。任何一个动物，如果失去了捕食的能力，就会被饿死。所以，你可以看到在非洲草原上被活活饿死的狮子。为什么?因为它失去了捕食能力。

我们可以预料自己活多少岁，甚至可以预料我们的长相是什么样的。但是，请在座的同学想一想，你能预料你30岁能获得什么成就吗?你能预料你40岁获得什么成就吗?你能预料你80岁获得什么成就吗?你预料不到。人只有这一点没法预料，你永远没法预料你的潜力。但是，你的潜力在什么地方?在你的心里面。我从来没有预料到今天我所做的一切事情是我能够做出来的。今天我能做出一点儿事情来，是因为我对生命有一种内在的渴望和向往。

我的家在长江边上，从小坐在长江边看着太阳从东方升起，从西方落下，看着船来船往，我就产生了一种渴望。这种渴望后来我总结了一句话，叫做穿越地平线走向未来的渴望，就是走向远方。生命中有榜样也是非常重要的，在我的生命中有一个家乡的榜样，他的家就在我的隔壁，这个人的名字大家都知道，叫徐霞客。我们从小就听徐霞客的故事，给我带来的一种感觉是，如果说一个榜样离你很远，你可能会把他当作神。比如说，我让你把丘吉尔、毛泽东、秦始皇、刘邦、曹雪芹、鲁迅当作榜样，你觉得他们离你很远。但是，如果就住在鲁迅的三昧书屋边上长大的，你就可能觉得鲁迅离你很近。所以，我从小就有这样一个感觉：如果徐霞客在400多年前就能够走遍中国的山山水水，把自己走成一个伟大的人物，那为什么我不能?所以，榜样的力量是无穷的。我从小有一个一般农村的孩子不会产生的眼界，就是我希望自己能够走遍中国的山山水水。

人最大的痛苦是什么?就是你有了一个更加容易的选择，往往就会往更加容易的选择上去走。更加容易的选择往往导致你降低自己的人生目标和标准。当初如果有农民工的话，我就不会那么辛苦地去考大学，因为考大学肯定比当农民工更加难。但是，当你发现一个更加难的事情通过自己的努力也能达到，更加难的目标就值得你去努力。

人要有一个向往。我当时的这种向往就是希望自己能够走出去。这样的向往，使我最后能够走进北大。我连续三年高考。第一年高考，英语考了33分，连中专都没有录取。;第二年英语考了55分，也是连中专都没录取;但是，由于第三年的努力，我很多门课都考到了90多分，其中最突出的一门成绩(除了英语)就是地理，地理当时满分100分，我考了97分，如果没有徐霞客这么伟大的地理学家的影子，我不会对地理如此感兴趣。到今天为止，中国的前几百个城市在什么地方，只要把城市名称说出来，我就可以在地图上几乎毫无悬念地标注出来。确实，一个梦想可以催生你的一片生命。我已经充分意识到，现在走遍中国是不够的，必须走遍世界。因为这个世界上有太多的精彩等待你去探索，有太多的地方等待你去寻找。也是因为出于这样的目标，在新东方在中国上市还是美国上市的时候，我毫不犹豫地选择了新东方必须到美国去上市，不是说因为我喜欢美国，而是因为我知道，走向了美国纽约证券交易所，新东方就走向了世界，它就会把新东方带向一个世界的平台。

同学们，你的未来的潜力是无限的。你不要想你现在到底有没有能力。我有一句话，叫做不要用你的现在去判断你的未来，因为你的未来不可判断，你要去努力。我常常听到同学说，俞老师，人是有命运的。他的命就好，没有办法。生在有钱人家里，什么资源都有，大学一毕业的时候就给大把的钱创业，而且天资聪明，一创业就成功。你说我们这些人怎么比?确实是，表面上看是没法比的，短时间也是没法比的。但是，从长时间来说，一个人拥有的资源并不能决定他一辈子必然成功。我们假想有一些人一辈子就可以躺在这个资源上睡大觉，但我们看到更多的是不拥有资源的人，最后走向了拥有资源的道路。像我刚才说的马云，一个普通工人家庭的孩子，他的父亲是拉三轮车的;就像我，普通农民家庭的孩子，我的父母是不认字的。但是今天，毫不夸张地说，我们拥有了一部分中国的社会资源和企业资源。当然，我们尽可能利用这个资源为更多的人服务。

我们刚才讲到一个人的社会资源问题时常常讲到命运，有同学说命运是定的。命运会不会定?有一部分是定的。我刚才说了，你出生在什么样的家庭，长成什么样子，这些是定的。除此之外，其他的是可变的。所以，大家要充分地关注可变的命运，而不是关注定下来的命运。什么叫可变的?我们把人的运气分成两种运气：一种叫偶然的，一种叫必然的。一个人如果寻求偶然的运气，生命常常就会比较悲惨;但一个人寻求必然的运气，生命常常会显得比较光辉灿烂。什么叫偶然的运气?守株待兔这个故事大家都知道了，农民看到一只兔子撞到树桩上，他很高兴地捡起来，他推断的结果是每天都应该有一个兔子撞到这个树桩上。所以从此他不干活了，就等着兔子来撞。等了一辈子，树桩等烂了，头等白了，但是兔子依然没来。他把偶然的运气，当成了必然的运气。什么是必然的运气?如果农夫推断这个地方有动物，就积极把自己变成一个猎人，他可能一辈子不一定只打到兔子，也有可能是打到老虎。大家知道主动出击和被动生存有天壤之别。一个人也许吃苦的命不能改变，但是命的层次可以改变。我怎么后来会站到这个地方?是因为通过自己一辈子的努力，一次一次的失败不罢休，一次一次挫折不罢休。

我常常喜欢讲两个故事，人的心的变化带来命的变化。有一个人考状元，路上碰到一个老和尚，问他要干什么，他说考状元。老和尚看了一下他的面相，说你不要去考了，你一辈子都不会有状元的命，你还是老老实实回去吧。但已经走到半道了，他不甘心，就继续往前走。走到一条河边上，突然发现有一个人落水，他就跳到河里救这个人，衣服湿了，他没办法就又跑回到庙里。老和尚这时候见到他说，奇怪了，你出去了两个小时再回来，你的命变了。你好像脸上已经有了考上状元的脸色了。因为这个人心生了善念。原来这个人很自私，这次一瞬间生了善心，把人救起来了，所以命就改变了。这好像是一个编出来的故事，但是我很相信，原因是什么?原因是你的心变了，你的世界就会改变，所以你的命运改变了。我觉得努力加勤奋和正确的志向和目标，是我们走向未来的唯一道路。

大学期间到底应该做一些什么事情?第一个事情就是要认真学习。在大学的认真学习跟中学认真学习是不一样的，大学是扩展自己的眼光、扩展自己人生的学习。我说的学习就是要重视大学的专业知识，我在北大不学好英语，哪有可能我做今天的新东方，所以专业知识是非常重要的。专业如果不喜欢，要学一个你喜欢的专业。你喜欢的专业是不是真喜欢，要经过反复琢磨。美国大学前两年不让你选专业，是让你用两年时间广泛地培养兴趣。朋友们记住了，如果你一辈子在做自己不喜欢的专业，这是可悲的事情。所以，一定要寻找自己喜欢的专业。如果专业换不了，就找第二个专业学;如果大学允许你换专业，你要想清楚了再换。把最重要的知识学好，你可以在大学的时候争取学两个专业。

我们在大学做过调研，换过专业的同学应该百分之百地喜欢自己的专业，这应该是一个正常的推论。但是，有些同学换过了专业还是不喜欢自己选择的专业，表明有些同学换专业是一个鲁莽的行为没有经过认真的思考。除了专业以外，业余时间还要读大量的书籍，每两天左右就应该读一本书。我在大学的时候读了差不多800本书，我能读完，你就能读完。有的同学说，读过书忘了怎么办?你要记住，读过了忘了和没有读过是两个概念。你看周围的同学读了书，这些书你没读过，你心里马上产生害怕的感觉。所以读书不光是为了智慧，读书不光是为了知识的扩展，读书还有奠定自信的基础。如果我没有在北大建立起读书的自信，我就没有自信出来干新东方。所以读书是奠定自信的基础。

在大学要做的第二件事情就是要把中学的活动拓展过来。人生最重要的是占先机，在大学时候能够参加各种各样的活动是非常重要的，我发现在大学活跃的同学比不活跃的同学未来的发展是有很大差别的。大家在大学里要多交朋友，请朋友们记住，当你跟更厉害的人打交道的时候你进步更快。我从王强老师那儿学到了读书，他一进大学就把自己的生活费一分为二，一半买书、一半当生活费，所以他每个月都要买很多书。我跟他学，他买什么书我就买什么书。大家记住了，在大学交朋友要尽可能交好的。

在大学的另外一件事情就是要照顾所有同学的情绪，尽可能为其他同学服务。我们在大学中发现两种同学：一种同学只关注自己的成绩、自己的利益、自己如何在竞争中取胜，不关注别人的。这种心态养成以后，一般在社会上会被打得落花流水，因为这个社会上不会接纳只为自己争取利益的人。所以，在大学的时候要学会关注别人，把好事尽可能地留给别人，坏事尽可能地留给自己，这样你得到同学的信任，将来你有事情的时候，就会有人帮助你。我在大学的时候，坚持4年打水、宿舍扫地。我在做新东方的时候找大学同学帮忙，他们都愿意帮我。因为他们觉得我在大学是一个不错的人，是一个愿意帮助人的人，所以，这样就形成了一个大学同学的团队一起干新东方。我今天的交往圈已经非常非常广泛了，但是我最好的朋友依然是大学的同学。

在大学，我们要做的另外一个事情就是尽可能地在感情上有所收获。我说的不仅仅是友情，还有男女之间的感情。在大学如果有机会能够谈一次恋爱，那也是非常好的收获。我在大学就没有女孩子跟我谈，你们如果有这样的机会，还是要抓住机会的。当然，不是为了谈恋爱而谈恋爱。一定要真正的、刻骨铭心地爱上对方，这样才能谈。因为，只有真诚才能真正的感受，才能带来真正的成长。如果真的彼此相爱，要爱得一心一意。我说的一心一意不是在大学只能谈一次恋爱，而是谈的时候只能谈一个。因为一个真正有归属的感情是在一段时间内心无旁鹜地、深深地爱着另外一个人的感觉。如果你真正爱上了，你也要爱得大度。我说的大度，不是让你把男朋友或者女朋友送给别人，而是在大学里面人才济济，今天爱上你，明天有可能爱上了别人。有的时候爱情会出现比较特殊的现象，在大学的时候我们班就发生过这样的事情，两个男学生是哥们，其中有一个男生有一个女朋友，大家一起玩儿，结果玩着玩着另外那两个人玩到一起去了，把这个男生搁到一边了。大家知道，爱情最幸福的是两个人同时相爱或者是两个人同时不爱了。爱情最痛苦的是什么?你还深深地爱着对方，对方已经不爱你了，而你爱对方的心怎么也放不下来。去年，某大学里有两个人谈恋爱，后来这个女生不爱这个男生了，这个男生还深深爱着这个女生。这个男生怎么也过不了这关，最后男生跑到女生宿舍里，把女生从窗户推下去，然后自己也跳下去了。这是一个悲惨的爱情故事，但是又是一个卑鄙的爱情故事。这个卑鄙在于这个男生的卑鄙，如果你真心爱着对方的话，就必须一路祝福他们，让他们走好，而不是去伤害他们。所以，如果说当我发现这两个人谈了恋爱的话，那我一定祝福他们，让他们一路走好吧，直到走到离婚为止。你不能说把自己的生命跟别人的生命同时消灭掉，我们在座的同学，一定会碰到这样的爱情和痛苦，也一定要用大度的方式去解决这种痛苦。

如果在大学里面没人爱你怎么办?也就是说，大学不一定每个人都要谈恋爱，也不一定每个人有机会谈恋爱。就算你想谈，但没有任何人跟你谈恋爱。我的第一次恋爱也是最后一次恋爱，是我在大学毕业两年以后25岁的时候，在北大的校园里找到我的女朋友，后来变成了我的老婆、我孩子的妈妈。也就是说，同学们记住了，即使是迟到的爱情，那也是真正的爱情。如果说今天没有爱情，你就等待。就像今天你没有成功，你就等待。在等待中去寻找，在等待中去努力，在等待中去相信自己未来总有一天，你能够走向成功，走向辉煌。今天咱们的题目就叫做“相信未来”。“相信未来”是中国着名诗人食指写的一首诗。请同学们一定相信，不管今天你的环境如何，不管今天你身处何地，只要你心中真正有生命热情，只要你相信你的未来总有一天会变得更加美好，只要你相信努力和奋斗的力量，你一定会有美好的未来。

第12篇 梦想现实机会演讲稿

古往今来，人类生生世世在编织着梦想与希冀。遥望苍穹，星空闪烁着诉说着先人祈福的呢喃和虔诚的祷告;那梦想是如此真实，又如此遥远，因为那是心中不灭的追求，是浮于现实的繁华与幻想。

穴鸠的现实是“决起而飞，枪榆方而止”;溪流的现实是在石缝间浅吟低唱着“靡靡之音”;老马的现实是“眼前飘过一阵鞭影，我只低头瞧着脚下”。它们早已身陷于现实的泥潭而不能自拔，麻木的心灵早已放弃了拥有梦想遥望天边的权利。于是梦想的翅膀飘然远去，现实的枷锁架在脖项。

收回遐想的思绪，我才发现梦想就是天边的星辰，永不熄灭地照亮匆匆的人生;现实就是脚下的土地，踏实而厚重地记录行路的足迹。人，既不能活于华而不实的梦想里，也不要沉湎于现实的喧嚣中。在人生的道路中，应是左边种植梦想，右边种植真实，随时采撷，收获希望。

寻着古人的来路，我听到了杜工部“安得广厦千万间，大庇天下寒士俱欢颜，风雨不动安如山”的呼唤，这是忧国忧民的呐喊，是杜甫心中最大的梦想。收回目光，我听到了鲁迅先生仰望星空的感叹：“寄意寒星荃不察，我以我血荐轩辕”，“心事浩茫连广宇，于无声处听惊雷。”这是先生“用笔救国”的梦想，他纵然对现实失望，但没有绝望，彷徨中的呐喊唤起了国人的奋起和努力。

追溯着世界的旅途，我看到了麦哲伦环游世界的梦想，他用广阔的胸怀迎接波澜壮阔的波涛，用梦想书写着生命的厚重与责任。纵使行程中的他遭到土著人的屠戮，现实的残酷却没有将他的梦想抹杀削弱。后人沿着他梦想的轨迹，走向世界。收回目光，我看到了马丁·路德金的梦想，丑陋而顽固的现实一次又一次打击着这位“追梦者”，但他的梦想凝集了所有黑人的正义和力量，现实，终于因他的执著而跪拜在这一伟大民族战士的脚下。我又看到了徐本禹朴实无华的笑容，他没有像自己的同学一样追求花前月下香车宝马，更没有因现实的残缺而逃遁，而是倾自己的梦想于偏远支教之中。他们，都是现实中坚强的追梦者!

寻着古往今来的道路，我探头仰望天边的星空。梦想与现实交轨在人的生命中，让我们用胸怀天地的壮志凌云拥抱梦想，用虚怀若谷的情怀书写现实中人生华美的篇章吧!

there’s no greater opportunity or call for action for us now

就是现在 我们必须把握良机、采取行动

than to become opportunity-makers who use best talents together more often for the greater good

多去整合各种才能 尽可能的利益他人

and accomplish things we couldn’t have done on our own.

一人做不到的 多人或许有办法

and i want to talk to you about that,

这就是我今天的重点

cause even more than giving,

比单纯给予

even more than giving,

施舍、捐赠更有影响力的

is the capacity for us to do something smarter together

就是人们学会集思广益

for the greater good that lifts us both up

共同合作 创造双赢局面

and that can scale.

其中的利益会一层层积累

that’s why i’m sitting here.

这是我今天演讲的重点

but i also want to point something else out.

不过我还想说一件事

each one of you is better than anybody else at something.

台下的你必定在某些事上比其他人都拿手

that disproves that popular notion that if you’re the smartest person in the room,

和那句名言“你绝不是这里最厉害的人”

you’re in the wrong room.

恰恰相反

so let me tell you about a hollywood party i went to a couple years back,

我在几年前的一个好莱坞聚会上

and i met this up-and-coming actress,

遇见了位有潜力的女演员

and we were soon talking about something that we both felt passionately about,

我们很快就找到共同话题-

public art.

公共艺术

and she had the fervent belief that every new building in los angeles

她坚信洛杉矶的每栋建筑里

should have public art in it. she wanted a regulation for it,

都应该有公共艺术 她想要一套专属公共艺术的规范

and she fervently started,

所以她兴忡忡的着手进行

what is here from chicago?

这里有谁是芝加哥人吗?

she fervently started talking about these bean-shaped reflective sculptures in millennium park,

她滔滔不绝的说着千禧公园里的云门雕塑

and people would walk up to it

人们好奇的上前一探究竟

and they’d smile in the reflection of it,

看着自己的映像微笑

and they’d pose and they’d vamp and they’d take selfies together

摆pose、赞叹、自拍留念

and they’d laugh.

然后笑成一团

and as she was talking, a thought came to my mind.

听着听着 我突然灵光乍现

i said, “i know someone you ought to meet.

我告诉她: “妳应该见见这个人

he’s getting out of san quentin in a couple of weeks

再几周他就要从圣昆丁州立监狱出来了

and he shares your fervent desire that art should engage and enable people to connect.”

他跟妳一样 觉得艺术应该让人有共鸣、激发想像力”

he spent five years in solitary,

他被单独监禁了五年

and i met him because i gave a speech at san quentin,

我因为在圣昆丁演讲 而与他结识

and he’s articulate

他口条不错

and he’s rather easy on the eyes

长的也不赖

because he’s buff. he had workout regime he did everyday.

因为他是条热爱健身的汉子

i think she was following me at that point.

女演员大概还满有兴趣的

i said, “he’d be an une_pected ally.”

我又说: “他会是个得力助手”

and not just that. there’s james. he’s an architect

除了他之外 我把詹姆也拉进来 詹姆是建筑师

and he’s a professor,

也是个教授

and he loves place-making, and place-making is when you have those mini-plazas

他对地方营造很有兴趣 外头的小广场、

and those urban walkways

城市人行道

and where they’re dotted with art,

任何有艺术点缀的地方 都属于地方营造的范畴

where people draw and come up and talk sometimes.

许多人会在那儿画画、闲聊

i think they’d make good allies.

我想他们一定能合作无间

and indeed they were.

果真没错

they met together. they prepared.

他们碰面之后 就开始筹备

they spoke in front of the lost angeles city council.

到洛杉矶市政府传达诉求

and the council members not only passed the regulation,

结果市议员通过了他们订的条例

half of them came down and asked to pose with them afterwards.

之后甚至半数议员还去与艺术品合影

they were startling, compelling and credible.

他们给人的印象是震慑、具说服力、可靠

you can’t buy that.

全都是用钱买不到的

what i’m asking you to consider is what kind of opportunity-makers we might become,

希望各位想想自己能成为哪种机会制造者

because more than wealth

比财富、

or fancy titles

头衔、

or a lot of contacts,

人脉更可观的

it’s our capacity to connect around each other’s better side and bring it out.

是我们发掘他人优点的能力

and i’m not saying this is easy,

这一点都不容易

and i’m sure many of you have made the wrong moves too about who you wanted to connect with,

相信许多人都有找错对象、牵错线的经验

but what i want to suggest is, this is an opportunity.

但毕竟都是个“机会”

i started thinking about it way back when i was a wall street journal reporter and i was in europe

这个领悟要从好几年前说起 当时我在欧洲 担任华尔街日报记者

and i was supposed to cover trends and trends that transcended business or politics or lifestyle.

采访内容为时尚与流行 跨越商业、政治、生活型态隔阂的流行

so i had to have contacts in different worlds very different than mine,

因此得和背景截然不同的人打交道

because otherwise you couldn’t spot the trends.

否则就无法掌握潮流走向

and third, i had to write a story in a way stepping into the reader’s shoes,

写故事时 还得设身处地为读者想

they could see how these trends could affect their lives.

要让他们觉得自己和这些潮流息息相关

that’s what opportunity-makers do.

这就是机会制造者的任务

and here’s a strange thing:

奇怪之处在于

unlike an increasing number of americans who are working and living and playing with people who think e_actly like them

越来越多人工作、生活、娱乐都喜欢寻找与自己相似的人

because we then become more rigid and e_treme,

久而久之就变得挑剔、极端起来

opportunity-makers are actively seeking situations with people unlike them,

机会制造者寻找与自己不相似的人

and they’re building relationships,

和他们建立关系

and because they do that,

这样做的话

they have trusted relationships where they can bring the right team in

两方之间就有互信 能在适当的时机介绍彼此适当的人

and recruit them to solve a problem better and faster and seize more opportunities.

用更快、更好的方法解决问题 同时也抓住了更多机会

they’re not affronted by differences.

机会创造者不会被歧异冒犯

they’re fascinated by them,

反而深受吸引

and that is a huge shift in mindset,

这是心态上的极端不同

and once you feel it, you want it to happen a lot more.

你一旦意识到 就会为它的魅力着迷

this world is calling out for us to have a collective mindset,

和别人形成“共同体”才是王道

and i believe in doing that.

我个人深信

it’s especially important now.

携手合作在这世代特别重要

why is it important now?

为什么呢?

because things can be devised like drones

机器小帮手

and drugs and data collection,

药物开发、数据收集

and they can be devised by more people.

都可以让更多人参与其中

and cheaper ways for beneficial purposes

用更经济的方式创造收益

and then, as we know from the news every day, they can be used for dangerous ones.

只是水能载舟 亦能复舟 也可能被有心人士利用

it calls on us, each of us, to a higher calling.

这个理念非常需要大家的重视

but here’s the icing on the cake:

成为机会制造者是一箭双雕

it’s not just the first opportunity that you do with somebody else that’s probably your greatest,

除了获得和更高竿对象合作的机会

as an institution or an individual.

无论对于机构或个人来说

it’s after you’ve had that e_perience and you trust each other.

都是开启了这扇门 建立信任后

it’s the une_pected things that you devise later on you never could have predicted.

团队合作带来的惊人成果

for e_ample, marty is the husband of that actress i mentioned,

麦迪是那位女演员的丈夫

and he watched them when they were practicing,

詹姆等三人排练时 他就在旁边看

and he was soon talking to wally, my friend the e_-con,

并很快和韦利聊开了 就是刚出狱的那位

about that e_ercise regime.

大概在聊健身吧?

and he thought, i have a set of racquetball courts.

麦迪心想: “我有个壁球馆

that guy could teach it. a lot of people who work there are members at my courts.

韦利可以来当教练 很多教练都是体育馆的会员

they’re frequent travelers.

他们很常来我这边

they could practice in their hotel room, no equipment provided.

旅馆房间里没有设备 也照样能练习”

that’s how wally got hired.

韦利就这样得到了板球教练的工作

not only that, years later he was also teaching racquetball.

几年后他也开始教壁球学生

years after that, he was teaching the racquetball teachers.

再过了几年则是教壁球老师

what i’m suggesting is, when you connect with people

我想说的是 当你把周遭有相同兴趣、

around a shared interest and action,

喜好的人圈在一块

you’re accustomed to serendipitous things happening into the future,

就会逐渐适应随之而来、意想不到的收获

and i think that’s what we’re looking at.

我想这才是至关重要

we open ourselves up to those opportunities,

面对机会 我们敞开心胸

and in this room are key players and technology,

关键推手-这里的你们 再加上科技

key players who are uniquely positioned to do this,

每个人各司其职 有自己的位置

to scale systems and projects together.

提升制度和计划的整体价值

so here’s what i’m calling for you to do. remember the three traits of opportunity-makers.

opportunity-makers keep honing their top strength

一、机会制造者不断磨练自己专长

and they become pattern seekers.

开拓事物运作的新方式

they get involved in different worlds than their worlds

二、他们乐于接触不同人的世界

so they’re trusted and they can see those patterns,

获取信任 学习各种合作方式

and they communicate to connect around sweet spots of shared interest.

三、他们周旋于各方之间 让参与的人都分一杯羹

so what i’m asking you is, the world is hungry.

我想说的是 人与人之间太缺乏连结

i truly believe, in my firsthand e_perience,

根据亲身经验 我相信

the world is hungry for us to unite together as opportunity-makers

这世界很需要机会制造者

and to emulate those behaviors as so many of you already do, i know that firsthand,

可能台下的你已经是其中之一 大家都应该效仿机会制造者

and to reimagine a world where we use our best talents together

重塑我们的世界 融合各领域人才

more often to accomplish greater thing together than we could on our own.

一人不能做的事 借由合作来完成

just remember,

请把这句话放在心上

as dave liniger once said,

大卫˙林杰说过

“you can’t succeed coming to the potluck with only a fork.”

“只带一只叉子就来百乐餐的人 永远无法成功”(注: 后衍伸为商业成长需要集体合作、贡献)

thank you very much.

谢谢大家

thank you.

谢谢

第14篇 竞选大队委演讲：给我一个机会

敬爱的老师，亲爱的同学们：

大家好！

我是来自五年一班的欧俊婕。首先，我要感谢老师给了我这次历炼自己的机会；其次，我要感谢同学们给我的支持与鼓励，我一定不会辜负你们的期望，努力为同学们服务。

大文学家雨果说过，世界上最宽阔的是天空，比天空更宽阔的是人的心灵。我觉得，作为大队委要有一颗宽容的心，更要有一颗负责的心，这样才能做好老师们托付给我的任务，帮助同学们做更多的事。

有很多人都觉得，大队委的名誉可以让一个普通平凡的人闪闪发光，我觉得并不是这样。在每个名誉背后，都有许多辛勤的汗水在做支撑。如果我当上了大队委，我一定会尽心尽力地为同学们服务;如果我当上了大队委，我一定会做好老师交给我的任务。正如一个主持人说的那样：“我不是无所不能，但我会竭尽所能。”我会伸出我的双手，为身边每一个同学竭尽所能地服务。

如果有百分之一的希望开花，就不要心甘情愿地当一株草，而是要抓紧那百分之一的希望，用辛勤的努力灌溉，使它绽出最美的花！

同学们，我们的明天掌握在自己的手里，我一定会努力，让自己的明天为同学们做出贡献。给我一个舞台，我会给你精彩，请把你们宝贵的一票投给我吧！

给我一个机会，我给大家一个满意

第15篇 ted英语演讲：才华可以人人都有，但机会不是

才华可以人人都有，但机会不是

how many of you are tired of seeingcelebrities adopting kids from the african continent?

你们之中有多少人已经对那些从非洲领养小孩的明星而感到厌倦了?

well, it's not all that bad. i was adopted.i grew up in rural uganda, lost both my parents when i was very, very young.and when my parents passed, i e_perienced all the negative effects of poverty,from homelessness, eating out of trash piles, you name it.

嗯，那也不全是坏事。我就是被其中领养的一员。我在乌干达的郊区长大，在我很小的时候，我的父母就去世了。在我父母离世之后，我经历了所有贫困带来的困难，从无家可归，到捡食路边的垃圾，所有你能想得到的。

but my life changed when i got acceptedinto an orphanage. through one of those sponsor-an-orphan programs, i wassponsored and given an opportunity to acquire an education. i started off inuganda. i went through school, and the way this particular program worked, youfinished high school and after high school, you go learn a trade -- to become acarpenter, a mechanic or something along those lines.

但自从我被一家孤儿院收养 我的生活就发生了巨变。通过孤儿院的一个补助项目，我获得了接受教育的机会，以及相应的资助。一开始是在乌干达。我去了学校念书，而根据这个项目的运作流程，他们会在你读完高中以后，送你去学一门手艺，比如木匠，或者机修工或者其他的一些专业技术。

my case was a little different. the sponsorfamily that was sending these 25 dollars a month to this orphanage to sponsorme, which -- i had never met them -- said, 'well ... we would like to sendyou to college instead.' oh -- it gets better.

而我的情况却有所不同。每个月我会在孤儿院收到25美元补助。这钱来自资助我的家庭，我从未见过他们他们说，“我们希望资助你去上大学” 哦，那再好不过了。

and they said, 'if you get thepaperwork, we'll send you to school in america instead.' so with theirhelp, i went to the embassy and applied for the visa. i got the visa.

他们还说：“如果你能通过申请 我们会把你送到美国的大学读书。“ 所以，在他们的帮助下，我去大使馆申请了签证。并且通过了签证。

i remember this day like it was yesterday.i walked out of the embassy with this piece of paper in my hand, a hop in mystep, smile on my face, knowing that my life is about to change. i went homethat night, and i slept with my passport, because i was afraid that someonemight steal it.

那一天对我来说就像昨天一样。我拿着手里的文件走出大使馆，一路蹦跳，难掩笑意，我明白我的生活将不复从前。那天晚上我回到家里，抱着我的护照睡着了，因为我担心有人会把它偷走。

i couldn't fall asleep. i kept feeling it.i had a good idea for security. i was like, 'ok, i'm going to put it in aplastic bag, and take it outside and dig a hole, and put it in there.' idid that, went back in the house. i could not fall asleep. i was like,'maybe someone saw me.' i went back --

而我辗转反侧。那念头依然挥之不去。我突然想到了一个万全的主意。我说：”好吧，我可以把它放进一个塑料袋里然后在外面地上挖一个洞，把袋子放进去。” 我真的做了，然后又回到屋子里。但我依然无眠，我想，“也许有人看到我了。” 我又回去了

i pulled it out, and i put it with me theentire night -- all to say that it was an an_iety-filled night.

我把袋子拿出来，然后抓着它度过了一宿 我只想说那真是焦虑的一晚。

going to the us was, just like anotherspeaker said, was my first time to see a plane, be on one, let alone sit on itto fly to another country. december 15, 20__. 7:08pm. i sat in seat 7a. flyemirates. one of the most gorgeous, beautiful women i've ever seen walked up,red little hat with a white veil. i'm looking terrified, i have no idea whati'm doing. she hands me this warm towel -- warm, steamy, snow white. i'mlooking at this warm towel; i don't know what to do with my life, let alonewith this damn towel --

来到美国的感受，和其他初来乍到的人一样 那是我第一次坐飞机，坐在座位上，飞向另一个国家。20__年12月15日 晚上7点08分 我坐在7a座位上。乘坐阿联酋航班。一个我有生以来见过的最美的女人朝我走来，她戴着红色的帽子和白色的口罩。我真的吓坏了，我简直手足无措。她递给我一张温热的纸巾 温暖，湿润，白净如雪。我盯着这张温暖的纸巾; 我都不知道我该拿我的生活怎么办，更别说这张纸巾了

i did one of the -- you know, anythinganyone could do in that situation: look around, see what everyone else isdoing. i did the same. mind you, i drove about seven hours from my village tothe airport that day. so i grab this warm towel, wipe my face just likeeveryone else is doing, i look at it -- damn.

我做了一件——你懂的，任何人都会做的事：我环顾四周，看其他人的举动。然后我也跟着他们做。顺便一提，从村子到机场，那一天我开了7个小时的车。所以我拿起那张温暖的纸，效仿着别人擦拭了自己的脸，我看了看纸巾——该死。

it was all dirt brown.i remember being so embarrassed that whenshe came by to pick it up, i didn't give mine.i still have it.

已经变成屎黄色了。我记得我是那么的尴尬，以至于当她来回收纸巾的时候，我没好意思给她。我现在都还带着它。

going to america opened doors for me tolive up to my full god-given potential. i remember when i arrived, the sponsorfamily embraced me, and they literally had to teach me everything from scratch:this is a microwave, that's a refrigerator -- things i'd never seen before. andit was also the first time i got immersed into a new and different culture.these strangers showed me true love. these strangers showed me that i mattered,that my dreams mattered.thank you.

美国向我敞开了大门让我能够发挥自己最大的潜力。我记得我刚到的时候，我的资助家庭迎接了我，然后他们就把一切从头开始教给我：这是一个微波炉，那是一个冰箱——那些都是我以前闻所未闻的东西。那也是我第一次 被放置在全新的文化环境当中。这些陌生人向我展示了真正的关爱。这些陌生人让我明白，我很重要 我的梦想很重要。谢谢。

these individuals had two of their ownbiological children. and when i came in, i had needs. they had to teach meenglish, teach me literally everything, which resulted in them spending a lotof time with me. and that created a little bit of jealousy with their children.so, if you're a parent in this room, and you have those teenager children whodon't want anything to do with your love and affection -- in fact, they find itrepulsive -- i got a solution: adopt a child.

他们有两个亲生孩子。当我走进他们家庭的时候，我急需帮助。他们要教我英文，教我几乎所有的事情，这导致他们要在我的身上 花费很多的精力。而这致使他们的亲生孩子对我产生了一丝妒忌。所以，如果你们有人是家长，而你又有这样一群青少年小孩 他们对你们的爱和关心置若罔闻 事实上，还对你们很冷淡 我有一个办法： 领养一个孩子。

it will solve the problem.

问题就会迎刃而解。

i went on to acquire two engineeringdegrees from one of the best institutions in the world. i've got to tell you:talent is universal, but opportunities are not. and i credit this to theindividuals who embrace multiculturalism, love, empathy and compassion forothers. we live in a world filled with hate: building walls, bre_it, _enophobiahere on the african continent. multiculturalism can be an answer to many ofthese worst human qualities.

在一所世界一流学府中 我习得了两个工程师学位。我必须要说： 天赋人人都有，但机会一缘难求。我想要赞美 那些拥抱多元文化的人，那些关爱，理解并且同情他人的人。我们生活在一个充满憎恨的世界上：高筑围墙，英国脱欧，非洲大陆的仇外心理。而这些人类最负面的东西 都可以被多元文化海涵。

today, i challenge you to help a youngchild e_perience multiculturalism. i guarantee you that will enrich their life,and in turn, it will enrich yours. and as a bonus, one of them may even give ated talk.

今天，我挑战你们在座的观众们 去帮助一个年轻的孩子 感受多元文化的魅力。我保证那会充实他的生活，作为回报，你们的生活也会得到升华。而作为奖励，他们其中之一也许还会在ted演讲。

we may not be able to solve the bigotry andthe racism of this world today, but certainly we can raise children to create apositive, inclusive, connected world full of empathy, love and compassion.

我们也许无力解决 当今社会的种族歧视与偏见，但我们完全可以引导我们的孩子 去创建一个积极的，包容的，紧密相连的世界。那里将充满理解，关爱，同情。

love wins.thank you.

真爱无敌。谢谢
