邱吉爾演講稿 篇1
英國偉大首相邱吉爾先生最精彩的一次演講，也是最後一次演講，是在劍橋大學的一次畢業生典禮上。當時整個會場坐著上萬名學生，他們都在期待著偉人邱吉爾的到來。在隨從的陪伴下，令人尊重的邱吉爾先生準時到達會場，走向講台。
站在講台上，只見邱吉爾脫下大衣交給隨從，然後摘下帽子，默默地注視現場的聽眾們，過了一分鐘，他說了一句話："Never give up !"（永不放棄）邱吉爾說完戴上帽子、穿上大衣離開了會場。這讓整個會場鴉雀無聲，一分鐘後，掌聲雷動。永不放棄，永不放棄，永不放棄！
邱吉爾一生當中為英國和平立下漢馬功勞，這些偉大的成就是邱吉爾堅持不懈努力取得的，是他"永不放棄"精神的最佳寫照。
世界上另外一個最經典的關於"永不放棄"的例子，則是世界上最偉大的推銷員喬.吉拉德的一場別開生面的演講。在他即將結束自己的推銷生涯時，受到了社會各界的邀請，請他做一次演講，講述他成為推銷大王的秘密。
那天的現場同樣座無虛席，人們都在熱切、焦急地等待著。當舞台上的幕布徐徐拉開，人們驚奇地發現舞台中央吊著一個巨大的鐵球。正納悶間，只見一位老者在人們熱烈的歡呼聲中走到鐵球旁邊。人們都詫異地望著他，不知道他要做什麼。正在這時走上來兩位工作人員，他們抬著一個大鐵錘，放在舞台上。老人說道："請兩位身強力壯的年輕人到台上來。"好多壯漢站起來，早有兩名動作快的跑上台上。老人請他們倆用這個大鐵錘，敲打這個吊著的鐵球，直到讓它晃動起來。
一個年輕人想也沒想，迫不及待地拉開架勢，掄起鐵錘，奮力向那吊著的鐵球砸去。只聽見刺耳的一聲巨響，但是鐵球卻吊在那裡一動不動。台下的加油聲震天響，他接二連三地繼續猛砸，鐵球紋絲不動，而他卻氣喘吁吁，只好認輸了。另一個年輕人看著不服氣，接過大鐵錘把鐵球砸得噹噹響，但很快同樣敗下陣來，搖搖頭走下了舞台。
台下的吶喊聲漸漸消失了，人們認定這個鐵球是不可能被撼動的。這時老人二話不說，從上衣口袋裡拿出一把小小的鐵錘，然後認真地，對著那個巨大的鐵球"咚"地敲了一下，然後停頓一下，再繼續用小錘"咚"地敲一下。人們都瞪大了眼睛，不知道這位著名的推銷員想乾什麼，而這位老人反覆地做著這個動作，在那裡不停地敲擊著鐵球。
就這樣十分鐘過去了，二十分鐘過去了，台下的觀眾慢慢失去了耐心，開始騷動起來，有人甚至開始咒罵喬.吉拉德是在耽擱大家的時間。喬.吉拉德並不理會，依然一小錘一小錘地工作著，他好像根本就沒聽到人們在抱怨什麼。就這樣，觀眾們都憤憤地離去了。留下的人們似乎也喊累了，會場漸漸安靜下來。
就在喬.吉拉德進行到四十分鐘的時候，坐在前排的`一個婦女突然尖叫起來："看哪，球動了！"會場剎那間鴉雀無聲，人們都聚精會神地看著那個鐵球，果然，那巨大的鐵球開始以很小的幅度晃動了起來。老人沒有受到任何影響，繼續站在那裡一小錘一小錘地敲著。就這樣，大鐵球終於在老人的努力下越盪越高，它帶動著鐵鏈子發出"咣咣"的聲音，它的巨大威力強烈地震撼著在場的每一個人。會場上頓時爆發出了一陣陣熱烈地掌聲。在掌聲中，老人把小錘裝進上衣口袋，轉過身來，對大家說了一句話："在成長的路上，你沒有耐心等待成功的到來，那么你只好用一生的耐心去面對失敗。"
註：歷史以及無數案例告訴我們，只要我們能夠執著地朝著我們的目標和夢想前進，最後得到的就會是成功的喜悅.半途而廢者，嘗到的只能是浮躁的迷惘.怎樣做到永不放棄？有人提出，永不放棄有兩個原則，第一個原則是：永不放棄！第二個原則是當你想放棄時，回頭看第一個原則：永不放棄！
邱吉爾演講稿 篇2
Winston Churchill “At four o’clock this morning, Hitler attacked and invaded Russia. All his usual formalities of perfidy were observed with scrupulous technique. A non-aggression treaty had been solemnly signed and was in force between the two countries. No complaint had been made by Germany of its non-fulfillment. Under its cloak of false confidence, the German armies drew up in immense strength along a line which stretched from the White Sea to the Black Sea. And their air fleets and armoured divisions, slowly and methodically. took up their stations. Then suddenly, without declaration of war, without even an ultimatum, the German bombs rained down from the sky upon the Russian cities.
The German troops violated the Russian frontiers. And an hour later, the German ambassador, who ’til the night before was lavishing his assurances of friendship-almost of alliance-upon the Russians, called upon the Russian Foreign Minister to tell him that a state of war existed between Germany and Russia.
Thus was repeated, on a far larger scale, the same kind of outrage against every form of signed compact and international faith which we had witnessed in Norway, in Denmark, in Holland, in Belgium. And which Hitler’s accomplice and jackal Mussolini, so faithfully imitated in the case of Greece. All this was no surprise to me. In fact, I gave clear and precise warnings to Stalin of Stalin of what was coming. I gave him warnings, as I have given warnings to others before. I can only hope that these warnings did not fall unheeded. All we know at present is that the Russian people are defending their native soil, and that their leaders have called upon them to resist to the utmost. ”
The Russian danger is therefore our danger and the danger of the United States. Just as the cause of any Russian fighting for his hearth and home is the cause of free men and free people in every quarter of the globe. Let us learn the lessons already taught by such cruel experience. Let us re-double our exertion and strike with united strength while life and power remain.”
Thank you!
邱吉爾演講稿 篇3
Blood, Sweat And Tears
Winston Churchill May 13, 1940
On Friday evening last I received from His Majesty the mission to form a new administration.
It was the evident will of Parliament and the nation that this should be conceived on the broadest
possible basis and that it should include all parties.
I have already completed the most important part of this task. A war cabinet has been formed of five members, representing, with the Labor, Opposition and Liberals, the unity of the nation.
It was necessary that this should be done in one single day on account of the extreme urgency and rigor of events. Other key positions were filled yesterday. I am submitting a further list to the King tonight. I hope to complete the appointment of principal Ministers during tomorrow.
The appointment of other Ministers usually takes a little longer. I trust when Parliament meets again this part of my task will be completed and that the administration will be complete in all respects.
I considered it in the public interest to suggest to the Speaker that the House should be summoned today. At the end of todays proceedings, the adjournment of the House will be proposed until May 2l with provision for earlier meeting if need be.
Business for that will be notified to M. P. s at the earliest opportunity.
I now invite the House by a resolution to record its approval of the steps taken and declare its confidence in the new government. The resolution
That this House welcomes the formation of a government representing the united and inflexible resolve of the nation to prosecute the war with Germany to a victorious conclusion.
To form an administration of this scale and complexity is a serious undertaking in itself. But we are in the preliminary Phase of one of the greatest battles in history. We are in action at any other points-in Norway and in Holland-and we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean.
