It is a matter of course that industry will bring us success, wealth andgood luck. I am sure that a hard-working person can always succeed in the workwhich he wants to do. This is unchangeable truth.
Idleness is the opposite of industry. It is the source of all evil. An idleman only enjoys playing and making pleasures. That he is doomed to failure is ofno doubt. We should not follow his example.

Ladies and Gentle men. I am honored to deliver a speech here about theimportance of working hard. Diligence is vital to our success in the society, asit sharpens the skill you needed to be success and it helps you to stand out inthe crowd. When I was in grade 10, I did not work hard, because I thought schoolwas easy and I didn't have to work hard to get a good grades. I thought I wasquite a genius indeed. However, when I entered grade 11, things start gettingmore and more difficult, and I started to acquire the habit of hard-woking bydoing my homework every night, and preview school materials before schoolstarts. Quite surprisingly, not only did I pass those difficult course, but alsogot a decent mark. Therefore, hard woking is the way to discover what yourpotentials are and use them to your benefit. I would continue to work diligentlyand hopefully to achieve greatness in the future.
關於奮鬥的英語演講 篇7
Everyone knows that diligence is the key to success. As a proverb goes: “Diligence is the mother of success.” Diligence means working hard andpersistently.
All famous people of great achievements are examples of diligence. They allowe their success to hard work. Without constant efforts, no one can expect tosucceed in doing anything great. Thomas Edison kept on working hard for a longtime before he was able to invent he electric light. Madame Curie worked hard inthe poor conditions for many years before she finally discovered radium. Somepeople may attribute success to good luck. But good luck favors those who arewell prepared and diligent people who can make use of it. So idleness can onlylead to poverty. If you do not devote yourself to your study and work, you canhardly make a living, let alone make some accomplishments.
As high school students, we must be aware that the only way to success ishard work. We must concentrate our attention on our studies, and make full useof our precious time, in order to meet the fierce challenges in the futurecompetitions. It is certain that our future success will only rest on ourconstant efforts. As a proverb goes: “Only by working hard can we reap a bumperharvest.”

Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will “Where there is a will, there isway” is an old proverb which almost everyone knows, but not all understand it sowell.
Actually, it means that if you are really resolved to do something, nomatter how difficult it might be, never give up. In fact, strong will is a kindof good quality which successful people should own. A great man is always onewho has a firm resolution and an inflexible spirit.
One will never succeed all his life without a firm will to get the finalvictory. As a rule, great tasks are accomplished by men of strong will. Forexample, Dr. Sun Yatsen, the founder of the Republic of China, set the Chinesepeople free from the Manchurian rule through a long period of hard struggle.
Many of his attempts failed and many of his followers were killed, but hehad an inflexible spirit and stuck to his cause. Finally, he made the revolutionof 1911 a success. The same is true of men in all walks of life. It is quiteobvious that there is nothing difficult in the world, if you make up your mindto do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.
So as for students like us, we should have a good attitude towards failure.Facing with difficulties and failures, keep heads up and never give up. Besides,we should make full preparation, though strong will help us overcome thedifficulties, it is not for person who has no preparation.

Dozens of years ago, as the famous Negro Martin Luther King shouted to theAmerica, “I have a dream, I have a dream”, did he notice that his declaration offreedom would be the light to those who fights for people’s liberty? And, as wecan see, his dream made his legend, in other word dream makes people to begreat. Right now I just wonder in the future whether I could be somebody likeMartin Luther King who fought for people’s freedom or somebody like Bill Gateswho donated all his fortune to help poor people or I’ll be like most people tobe a nobody who gets a ordinary job and forms a family, living peacefully therest life. No matter what kind of above, the point is no matter who you are, nomatter where you are, please always have a dream. And this dream will make youget power to get progress; this dream will show you the direction like thebeacon to the ship on the sea in the night.
From ancient time to the recent years, we see too many famous successfulpeople like Confucius in China and Dr. King, as mentioned above, in the UnitedStates. Confucius made great influence to Chinese culture by his Confucianism,and Dr. King push the progress to the liberty of the blacks in the America. Theyboth made great contribution to their country, and how they made this? Part ofthe reason why, I think, is that they had dreams that care about the people inthe world. And more important, in my opinion of view, they throw their entirelives to make their dreams come true. That means they always keep learning,learning from books and learning from living lives. And this is what we need tolearn: have a dream in mind and keep pursuing on it.
Through this we see that a dream is something we can make it come true byour hard working, and this is what a dream is different from a reverie. See thismeans we need to take action, if we really have a good dream. We need study wellin the school, we need focus on the direction of our dream, and we need toremind ourselves from time to time: don’t forget our dreams. Maybe when othersare playing basketball, but you are at the desk to figure out the difficult mathexercises; maybe when others are watching TV series, but you are still on thebooks which you need in your composition. All these will be worth when you getto the top of your dreaming mountain. As the saying says, “mountain’s high, butman makes the peak”. So finally just let wish good luck to those who always havea dream in mind and keeps steps on it.

The proverb “No pains, no gains” means that you have to make great effortsif you want to achieve success, for nothing but poverty can be obtained withouteffort.
In history, there have been many famous people of great achievements. Youmay claim that they are geniuses. But behind their successes, they have madegreat efforts in carrying out their tasks. Einstein said “Genius is one percentof inspiration and ninety-nine percent of perspiration.” He had been workinghard for many years before he finally worked out his theory of relativity.Thomas Edison experienced countless failures before he finally invented theelectric bulb. Wang Junxia was able to win the world championship of longdistance race only because she had many years of hard training. Therefore,diligence is the key to success. Doubtless hard work promises fruitful result.Everyone is awarded the right to work hard in order to reach his goal.Apparently, diligence is necessary to success. Happiness is nearly always areward for hard work.
On the other hand, idleness is believed to be the root of all evil. Anyonewho habitually likes idling but desires everything is daydreaming. We should beaware that if we dream away our precious time, when we wake up, it may be toolate for us to achieve anything. So, as college students, we should never stopworking hard so that we will remain successful in the future competitions.

One of the themes that are common to everyone is how to become success.Some believe that luck is essential to people's success, while others assertthat hard work has everything to do with success. On balance, I tend to agreethat hard work is a valuable factor contributed to people's success.
“no pains, no gains” .Without exerting oneself, one could never expect toachieve success in no matter what one is doing. As is known to all, there is noroyal road to the summit of success. One is likely to succeed only when one hasworked with whole-hearted devotion and perseverance.
Those who are lazy, sloppy and indifferent to their work, those who neverconcentrate on work will definitely end in failure. On the whole, as far as theyare concerned, hard-working is the decisive factor to success.
In my view, When opportunities come, meet and make full use of them. Onlyin this way can we succeed one day.

Everyone knows the name of Shakespeare but not much about his personal life.
Do you know how William Shakespeare lived before he went to London?
What about his family?
What were his dreams and ambitions?
What did he do when he first came to London to try his fortune?
Today, I want to introduce the early life of William Shakespeare and his great influence to the world.
Family:
Shakespeare was born and pought up in Stratford . He was the son of John Shakespeare, an alderman and a successful glover, and Mary Arden , the daughter of a landowning farmer. He had two older sisters, Joan and Judith , and two younger pothers, Gilbert and Richard.
At the age of 18, Shakespeare married 26-year-old Anne Hathaway , who was an English poet, actor and playwright.Six months after the marriage Anne gave birth to a daughter, Susanna in 1583. Twins, a son and a daughter followed almost two years later and were born in 1585. As Shakespeare had some good friends, Hamnet and Judith Sadler, he named the twins after them, so his son was calledHamnet and his daughter Judith. Unfortunately, in 1596, his son Hamnet died of unknown causes at the age of 11.
This is thefamily tree of Shakespeare’s family and this picture depicts Shakespeare as a family man surrounded by his children, who listened to his stories. Anne was portrayed at the right as an idealized housewife, sewing a garment.
Dreams and ambitions:
When Shakespeare was young, he had a dream of being a poet. With great ambition and determination, Shakespeare was diligent in his studies. He read a lot about books, poetry and writers. When he left school, he worked for his father. However, Shakespeare wasn’t interested in his father’s business. He was still reading a lot and was already writing poems himself.
In the summer months companies of players often came to small towns, and in 1587 five different companies came. Shakespeare always went to see the plays. He loved to talk to the actors and to listen to all their stories of London. He yearned for London, and therefore, he made a decision to get away from his hometown and left for London to pursue his goal.
Early life in London:
Shakespeare was good at acting. He worked for the Queen’s Men at the theatre called The Curtain up in Shoreditch. He acted four small parts in two different plays. He played a soldier and a murderer in one play, and in the other play he was a thief, and also an Italian lord in love with the Queen of the Night. And he loved it.
One day, Shakespeare met Burbage, an actor of Lord Strange ’s Men , who invited him to work with Lord Strange’s Men at the Rose theatre on Bankside. Shakespeare worked harder than ever at the Rose. By 1592 London was hearing the name William Shakespeare again and again.
After 1594, Shakespeare"s plays were performed only by the Lord Chamberlain"s Men .The Lord Chamberlain was a very important man, close to the Queen, and Shakespeare put on plays for the Queen’s court and in the houses of the great lords of England. Among the actors, Shakespeare was special-because he wrote plays. He was always trying something new, something different. And he wrote fast, too.
In 1596, His writing changed after Hamnet’s death. Shakespeare still laughed at people in his plays, but he also felt sorry for them- sorry for all the world, good and bad, rich and poor, young and old. And his people were real. No one was all good, or all bad.
These are all about Shakespeare’s early life and now I want to introduce Shakespeare’s lasting influence on
theatre and literature.
Firstly , he expanded the dramatic potential of characterization, plot, language, and genre. Until Romeo and Juliet , for example, romance had not been viewed as a worthy topic for tragedy. Soliloquies had been used mainly to convey information about characters or events; but Shakespeare used them to explore characters" minds. Secondly , his works heavily influenced later poetry . The Romantic poets attempted to revive Shakespearean verse drama, though with little success. Last but not least , his use of language helped shape modern English. He introduced almost 3,000 words to the English language and used over 7,000 words only once in his plays.
Here are some of his sayings in his well-known works.

When I was nine years old I went off to summer camp for the first time。 And my mother packed me a suitcase full of books, which to me seemed like a perfectly natural thing to do。 Because in my family, reading was the primary group activity。 And this might sound antisocial to you, but for us it was really just a different way of being social。 You have the animal warmth of your family sitting right next to you, but you are also free to go roaming around the adventureland inside your own mind。 And I had this idea that camp was going to be just like this, but better。 (Laughter) I had a vision of 10 girls sitting in a cabin cozily reading books in their matching nightgowns。
當我九歲的時候 我第一次去參加夏令營 我媽媽幫我整理好了我的行李箱 裡面塞滿了書 這對於我來說是一件極為自然的事情 因為在我的家庭里 閱讀是主要的家庭活動 聽上去你們可能覺得我們是不愛交際的 但是對於我的家庭來說這真的只是接觸社會的另一種途徑 你們有自己家庭接觸時的溫暖親情 家人靜坐在你身邊 但是你也可以自由地漫遊 在你思維深處的冒險樂園裡我有一個想法 野營會變得像這樣子,當然要更好些 (笑聲) 我想像到十個女孩坐在一個小屋裡 都穿著合身的女式睡衣愜意地享受著讀書的過程
(Laughter)
(笑聲)
Camp was more like a keg party without any alcohol。 And on the very first day our counselor gathered us all together and she taught us a cheer that she said we would be doing every day for the rest of the summer to instill camp spirit。 And it went like this: "R—O—W—D—I—E, that's the way we spell rowdie。 Rowdie, rowdie, let's get rowdie。" Yeah。 So I couldn't figure out for the life of me why we were supposed to be so rowdy, or why we had to spell this word incorrectly。 (Laughter) But I recited a cheer。 I recited a cheer along with everybody else。 I did my best。 And I just waited for the time that I could go off and read my books。
野營這時更像是一個不提供酒水的派對聚會 在第一天的時候呢 我們的顧問把我們都集合在一起 並且她教會了我們一種今後要用到的慶祝方式 在餘下夏令營的每一天中 讓“露營精神”浸潤我們 之後它就像這樣繼續著 R—O—W—D—I—E 這是我們拼寫“吵鬧"的口號 我們唱著“噪音,喧鬧,我們要變得吵一點” 對,就是這樣 可我就是弄不明白我的生活會是什麼樣的 為什麼我們變得這么吵鬧粗暴 或者為什麼我們非要把這個單詞錯誤地拼寫 (笑聲) 但是我可沒有忘記慶祝。我與每個人都互相歡呼慶祝了 我盡了我最大的努力 我只是想等待那一刻 我可以離開吵鬧的聚會去捧起我摯愛的書
But the first time that I took my book out of my suitcase, the coolest girl in the bunk came up to me and she asked me, "Why are you being so mellow?" —— mellow, of course, being the exact opposite of R—O—W—D—I—E。 And then the second time I tried it, the counselor came up to me with a concerned expression on her face and she repeated the point about camp spirit and said we should all work very hard to be outgoing。
但是當我第一次把書從行李箱中拿出來的時候 床鋪中最酷的那個女孩向我走了過來 並且她問我:“為什麼你要這么安靜?” 安靜,當然,是R—O—W—D—I—E的反義詞 “喧鬧”的反義詞 而當我第二次拿書的時候 我們的顧問滿臉憂慮的向我走了過來 接著她重複了關於“露營精神”的要點並且說我們都應當努力 去變得外向些
And so I put my books away, back in their suitcase, and I put them under my bed, and there they stayed for the rest of the summer。 And I felt kind of guilty about this。 I felt as if the books needed me somehow, and they were calling out to me and I was forsaking them。But I did forsake them and I didn't open that suitcase again until I was back home with my family at the end of the summer。
於是我放好我的書 放回了屬於它們的行李箱中 並且我把它們放到了床底下 在那裡它們度過了暑假餘下的每一天 我對這樣做感到很愧疚 不知為什麼我感覺這些書是需要我的 它們在呼喚我,但是我卻放棄了它們 我確實放下了它們,並且我再也沒有打開那個箱子 直到我和我的家人一起回到家中 在夏末的時候
Now, I tell you this story about summer camp。 I could have told you 50 others just like it ——all the times that I got the message that somehow my quiet and introverted style of beingwas not necessarily the right way to go, that I should be trying to pass as more of an extrovert。 And I always sensed deep down that this was wrong and that introverts were pretty excellent just as they were。 But for years I denied this intuition, and so I became a Wall Street lawyer, of all things, instead of the writer that I had always longed to be —— partly because I needed to prove to myself that I could be bold and assertive too。 And I was always going off to crowded bars when I really would have preferred to just have a nice dinner with friends。 And I made these self—negating choices so reflexively, that I wasn't even aware that I was making them。
現在,我向你們講述這個夏令營的故事 我完全可以給你們講出其他50種版本就像這個一樣的故事—— 每當我感覺到這樣的時候 它告訴我出於某種原因,我的寧靜和內向的風格 並不是正確道路上的必需品 我應該更多地嘗試一個外向者的角色 而在我內心深處感覺得到,這是錯誤的內向的人們都是非常優秀的,確實是這樣 但是許多年來我都否認了這種直覺 於是我首先成為了華爾街的一名律師 而不是我長久以來想要成為的一名作家 一部分原因是因為我想要證明自己 也可以變得勇敢而堅定 並且我總是去那些擁擠的酒吧 當我只是想要和朋友們吃一頓愉快的晚餐時 我做出了這些自我否認的抉擇 如條件反射一般 甚至我都不清楚我做出了這些決定
Now this is what many introverts do, and it's our loss for sure, but it is also our colleagues' loss and our communities' loss。 And at the risk of sounding grandiose, it is the world's loss。 Because when it comes to creativity and to leadership, we need introverts doing what they do best。 A third to a half of the population are introverts —— a third to a half。 So that's one out of every two or three people you know。 So even if you're an extrovert yourself, I'm talking about your coworkers and your spouses and your childrenand the person sitting next to you right now —— all of them subject to this bias that is pretty deep and real in our society。 We all internalize it from a very early age without even having a language for what we're doing。
這就是很多內向的人正在做的事情 這當然是我們的損失 但這同樣也是同事們的損失 我們所在團隊集體的損失 當然,冒著被指為誇大其詞的風險我想說,更是世界的損失 因為當涉及創造和領導的時候 我們需要內向的人做到最好 三分之一到二分之一的人都是內向的—— 三分之一到二分之一 你要知道這可意味著每兩到三個人中就有一個內向的 所以即使你自己是一個外向的人 我正在說你的同事 和你的配偶和你的孩子 還有現在正坐在你旁邊的那個傢伙—— 他們都要屈從於這樣的偏見 一種在我們的社會中已經紮根的現實偏見 我們從很小的時候就把它藏在內心最深處 甚至都不說幾句話,關於我們正在做的事情。
Now to see the bias clearly you need to understand what introversion is。 It's different from being shy。 Shyness is about fear of social judgment。 Introversion is more about, how do you respond to stimulation, including social stimulation。 So extroverts really crave large amounts of stimulation, whereas introverts feel at their most alive and their most switched—on and their most capable when they're in quieter, more low—key environments。Not all the time —— these things aren't absolute —— but a lot of the time。 So the key then to maximizing our talents is for us all to put ourselves in the zone of stimulation that is right for us。
現在讓我們來清楚地看待這種偏見 我們需要真正了解“內向”到底指什麼 它和害羞是不同的 害羞是對於社會評論的恐懼 內向更多的是 你怎樣對於刺激作出回應 包括來自社會的刺激 其實內向的人是很渴求大量的鼓舞和激勵的 反之內向者最感覺到他們的存在 這是他們精力最充足的時候,最具有能力的時候 當他們存在於更安靜的,更低調的環境中 並不是所有時候——這些事情都不是絕對的—— 但是存在於很多時候 所以說,關鍵在於 把我們的天賦發揮到最大化 這對於我們來說就足夠把我們自己 放到對於我們正確又合適的激勵的區域中去
But now here's where the bias comes in。 Our most important institutions, our schools and our workplaces, they are designed mostly for extroverts and for extroverts' need for lots of stimulation。 And also we have this belief system right now that I call the new groupthink,which holds that all creativity and all productivity comes from a very oddly gregarious place。
但是現在偏見出現了 我們最重要的那些體系 我們的學校和工作單位 它們都是為性格外向者設計的 並且有適合他們需要的刺激和鼓勵 當然我們現在也有這樣一種信用機制 我稱它為新型的“團隊思考” 這是一種包含所有創造力和生產力的思考方式 從一個社交非常零散的地方產生的
So if you picture the typical classroom nowadays: When I was going to school, we sat in rows。 We sat in rows of desks like this, and we did most of our work pretty autonomously。But nowadays, your typical classroom has pods of desks —— four or five or six or seven kids all facing each other。 And kids are working in countless group assignments。 Even in subjects like math and creative writing, which you think would depend on solo flights of thought, kids are now expected to act as committee members。 And for the kids who preferto go off by themselves or just to work alone, those kids are seen as outliers often or, worse, as problem cases。 And the vast majority of teachers reports believing that the ideal student is an extrovert as opposed to an introvert, even though introverts actually get better grades and are more knowledgeable, according to research。 (Laughter)
當你描繪今天典型教室的圖案時 當我還上學的時候 我們一排排地坐著 我們靠著桌子一排排坐著就像這樣 並且我們大多數工作都是自覺完成的 但是在現代社會,所謂典型的教室 是些圈起來並排的桌子—— 四個或是五個或是六、七個孩子坐在一起,面對面 孩子們要完成無數個小組任務 甚至像數學和創意寫作這些課程 這些你們認為需要依靠個人閃光想法的課程 孩子們現在卻被期待成為小組會的成員 對於那些喜歡 獨處,或者自己一個人工作的孩子來說 這些孩子常常被視為局外人 或者更糟,被視為問題孩子 並且很大一部分老師的報告中都相信 最理想的學生應該是外向的 相對於內向的學生而言 甚至說外向的學生能夠取得更好的成績 更加博學多識據研究報導 (笑聲)
Okay, same thing is true in our workplaces。 Now, most of us work in open plan offices,without walls, where we are subject to the constant noise and gaze of our coworkers。 And when it comes to leadership, introverts are routinely passed over for leadership positions,even though introverts tend to be very careful, much less likely to take outsize risks ——which is something we might all favor nowadays。 And interesting research by Adam Grant at the Wharton School has found that introverted leaders often deliver better outcomes than extroverts do, because when they are managing proactive employees, they're much more likely to let those employees run with their ideas, whereas an extrovert can, quite unwittingly, get so excited about things that they're putting their own stamp on things, and other people's ideas might not as easily then bubble up to the surface。
好了。同樣的事情也發生在我們工作的地方 現在呢,我們中的絕大多數都工作在寬闊沒有隔間的辦公室里 甚至沒有牆 在這裡,我們暴露 在不斷的噪音和我們同事的凝視目光下工作 而當談及領袖氣質的時候 內向的人總是按照慣例從領導的位置被忽視了 儘管內向的人是非常小心仔細的 很少去冒特大的風險—— 這些風險是今天我們可能都喜歡的 賓夕法尼亞大學沃頓商學院的亞當·格蘭特教授做了一項很有意思的研究 這項研究表明內向的領導們 相對於外向領導而言總是會生產更大的效益 因為當他們管理主動積極的雇員的時候 他們更傾向於讓有主見的雇員去自由發揮 反之外向的領導就可能,當然是不經意的 對於事情變得十分激動 他們在事務上有了自己想法的印跡 這使其他人的想法可能就不會很容易地 在舞台上發光了
Now in fact, some of our transformative leaders in history have been introverts。 I'll give you some examples。 Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Gandhi —— all these peopled described themselves as quiet and soft—spoken and even shy。 And they all took the spotlight, even though every bone in their bodies was telling them not to。 And this turns out to have a special power all its own, because people could feel that these leaders were at the helm,not because they enjoyed directing others and not out of the pleasure of being looked at;they were there because they had no choice, because they were driven to do what they thought was right。
事實上,歷史上一些有改革能力的領袖都是內向的人 我會舉一些例子給你們 埃莉諾·羅斯福,羅沙·帕克斯,甘地 —— 所有這些人都把自己描述成 內向,說話溫柔甚至是害羞的人 他們仍然站在了聚光燈下 即使他們渾身上下 都感知他們說不要 這證明是一種屬於它自身的特殊的力量因為人們都會感覺這些領導者同時是掌舵者 並不是因為他們喜歡指揮別人 抑或是享客群人目光的聚焦 他們處在那個位置因為他們沒有選擇 因為他們行駛在他們認為正確的道路上
Now I think at this point it's important for me to say that I actually love extroverts。 I always like to say some of my best friends are extroverts, including my beloved husband。 And we all fall at different points, of course, along the introvert/extrovert spectrum。 Even Carl Jung, the psychologist who first popularized these terms, said that there's no such thing as a pure introvert or a pure extrovert。 He said that such a man would be in a lunatic asylum, if he existed at all。 And some people fall smack in the middle of the introvert/extrovert spectrum, and we call these people ambiverts。 And I often think that they have the best of all worlds。 But many of us do recognize ourselves as one type or the other。
現在我覺得對於這點我有必要說 那就是我真的喜愛外向的人 我總是喜歡說我最好的幾個朋友都是外向的人 包括我親愛的丈夫 當然了我們都會在不同點時偏向 內向者/外向者的範圍 甚至是卡爾·榮格,這個讓這些名詞為大眾所熟知的心理學家,說道 世上絕沒有一個純粹的內向的人 或者一個純粹的外向的人 他說這樣的人會在精神病院裡 如果他存在的話 還有一些人處在中間的跡象 在內向與外向之間 我們稱這些人為“中向性格者” 並且我總是認為他們擁有世界最美好的一切 但是我們中的大多數總是認為自己屬於內向或者外向,其中一類
And what I'm saying is that culturally we need a much better balance。 We need more of a yin and yang between these two types。 This is especially important when it comes to creativity and to productivity, because when psychologists look at the lives of the most creative people, what they find are people who are very good at exchanging ideas and advancing ideas, but who also have a serious streak of introversion in them。
同時我想說從文化意義上講我們需要一種更好的平衡 我們需要更多的陰陽的平衡 在這兩種類型的人之間 這點是極為重要的 當涉及創造力和生產力的時候 因為當心理學家們看待 最有創造力的人的生命的時候 他們尋找到的 是那些擅長變換思維的人 提出想法的人 但是他們同時也有著極為顯著的偏內向的痕跡
And this is because solitude is a crucial ingredient often to creativity。 So Darwin, he took long walks alone in the woods and emphatically turned down dinner party invitations。Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr。 Seuss, he dreamed up many of his amazing creations in a lonely bell tower office that he had in the back of his house in La Jolla, California。 And he was actually afraid to meet the young children who read his books for fear that they were expecting him this kind of jolly Santa Claus—like figure and would be disappointed with his more reserved persona。 Steve Wozniak invented the first Apple computer sitting alone in his cubical in Hewlett—Packard where he was working at the time。 And he says that he never would have become such an expert in the first place had he not been too introverted to leave the house when he was growing up。
這是因為獨處是非常關鍵的因素 對於創造力來說 所以達爾文 自己一個人漫步在小樹林裡 並且斷然拒絕了晚餐派對的邀約 西奧多·蓋索,更多時候以蘇索博士的名號知名 他夢想過很多的驚人的創作 在他在加利福尼亞州拉霍亞市房子的後面的 一座孤獨的束層的塔形辦公室中 而且其實他很害怕見面 見那些讀過他的書的年輕的孩子們 害怕他們會期待他 這樣一位令人愉快的,聖誕老人形象的人物 同時又會因發現他含蓄緘默的性格而失望 史蒂夫·沃茲尼亞克發明了第一台蘋果電腦 一個人獨自坐在他的機櫃旁 在他當時工作的惠普公司 並且他說他永遠不會在那方面成為一號專家 但他還沒因太內向到要離開那裡 那個他成長起來的地方
Now of course, this does not mean that we should all stop collaborating —— and case in point, is Steve Wozniak famously coming together with Steve Jobs to start Apple Computer —— but it does mean that solitude matters and that for some people it is the air that they breathe。 And in fact, we have known for centuries about the transcendent power of solitude。 It's only recently that we've strangely begun to forget it。 If you look at most of the world's major religions, you will find seekers —— Moses, Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad ——seekers who are going off by themselves alone to the wilderness where they then have profound epiphanies and revelations that they then bring back to the rest of the community。 So no wilderness, no revelations。
當然了 這並不意味著我們都應該停止合作—— 恰當的例子呢,是史蒂夫·沃茲尼亞克和史蒂夫·賈伯斯的著名聯手 創建蘋果電腦公司—— 但是這並不意味著和獨處有重大關係 並且對於一些人來說 這是他們賴以呼吸生存的空氣 事實上,幾個世紀以來我們已經非常明白 獨處的卓越力量只是到了最近,非常奇怪,我們開始遺忘它了 如果你看看世界上主要的宗教 你會發現探尋者—— 摩西,耶穌,佛祖,那些獨身去探尋的人們 在大自然的曠野中獨處,思索 在那裡,他們有了深刻的頓悟和對於奧義的揭示 之後他們把這些思想帶回到社會的其他地方去沒有曠原,沒有啟示
This is no surprise though if you look at the insights of contemporary psychology。 It turns out that we can't even be in a group of people without instinctively mirroring, mimicking their opinions。 Even about seemingly personal and visceral things like who you're attracted to, you will start aping the beliefs of the people around you without even realizing that that's what you're doing。
儘管這並不令人驚訝 如果你注意到現代心理學的思想理論 它反映出來我們甚至不能和一組人待在一起 而不去本能地模仿他們的意見與想法 甚至是看上去私人的,發自內心的事情 像是你被誰所吸引 你會開始模仿你周圍的人的信仰 甚至都覺察不到你自己在做什麼
And groups famously follow the opinions of the most dominant or charismatic person in the room, even though there's zero correlation between being the best talker and having the best ideas —— I mean zero。 So 。。。 (Laughter) You might be following the person with the best ideas, but you might not。 And do you really want to leave it up to chance? Much better for everybody to go off by themselves, generate their own ideas freed from the distortions of group dynamics, and then come together as a team to talk them through in a well—managed environment and take it from there。
還曾跟隨群體的意見 跟隨著房間裡最具有統治力的,最有領袖氣質的人的思路 雖然這真的沒什麼關係 在成為一個卓越的演講家還是擁有最好的主意之間—— 我的意思是“零相關” 那么。。。(笑聲) 你們或許會跟隨有最好頭腦的人 但是你們也許不會 可你們真的想把這機會扔掉嗎?如果每個人都自己行動或許好得多 發掘他們自己的想法 沒有群體動力學的曲解 接著來到一起組成一個團隊 在一個良好管理的環境中互相交流 並且在那裡學習別的思想
Now if all this is true, then why are we getting it so wrong? Why are we setting up our schools this way and our workplaces? And why are we making these introverts feel so guilty about wanting to just go off by themselves some of the time? One answer lies deep in our cultural history。 Western societies, and in particular the U。S。, have always favored the man of action over the man of contemplation and "man" of contemplation。 But in America's early days, we lived in what historians call a culture of character, where we still, at that point, valued people for their inner selves and their moral rectitude。 And if you look at the self—help books from this era, they all had titles with things like "Character, the Grandest Thing in the World。" And they featured role models like Abraham Lincoln who was praised for being modest and unassuming。 Ralph Waldo Emerson called him "A man who does not offend by superiority。"
如果說現在這一切都是真的 那么為什麼我們還得到這樣錯誤的結論? 為什麼我們要這樣創立我們的學校,還有我們的工作單位? 為什麼我們要讓這些內向的人覺得那么愧疚 。對於他們只是想要離開,一個人獨處一段時間的事實? 有一個答案在我們的文化史中埋藏已久 西方社會特別是在美國 總是偏愛有行動的人 而不是有深刻思考的人 有深刻思考的“人” 但是在美國早期的時候 我們生活在一個被歷史學家稱作“性格特徵”的文化 那時我們仍然,在這點上,判斷人們的價值 從人們的內涵和道義正直 而且如果你看一看這個時代關於自立的書籍的話 它們都有這樣一種標題: “性格”,世界上最偉大的事物 並且它們以亞伯拉罕·林肯這樣的為標榜 一個被形容為謙虛低調的男人 拉爾夫·瓦爾多·愛默生稱他是 “一個以‘優越’二字形容都不為過的人”
But then we hit the 20th century and we entered a new culture that historians call the culture of personality。 What happened is we had evolved an agricultural economy to a world of big business。 And so suddenly people are moving from small towns to the cities。And instead of working alongside people they've known all their lives, now they are having to prove themselves in a crowd of strangers。 So, quite understandably, qualities like magnetism and charisma suddenly come to seem really important。 And sure enough, the self—help books change to meet these new needs and they start to have names like "How to Win Friends and Influence People。" And they feature as their role models really great salesmen。 So that's the world we're living in today。 That's our cultural inheritance。
但是接著我們來到了二十世紀 並且我們融入了一種新的文化 一種被歷史學家稱作“個性”的文化 所發生的改變就是我們從農業經濟發展為 一個大商業經濟的世界 而且人們突然開始搬遷從小的城鎮搬向城市 並且一改他們之前的在生活中和所熟識的人們一起工作的方式 現在他們在一群陌生人中間有必要去證明自己 這樣做是非常可以理解的 像領袖氣質和個人魅力這樣的品質 突然間似乎變得極為重要 那么可以肯定的是,自助自立的書的`內容變更了以適應這些新的需求 並且它們開始擁有名稱 像是《如何贏得朋友和影響他人》(戴爾?卡耐基所著《人性的弱點》) 他們的特點是做自己的榜樣 不得不說確實是好的推銷員 所以這就是我們今天生活的世界 這是我們的文化遺產
Now none of this is to say that social skills are unimportant, and I'm also not calling for the abolishing of teamwork at all。 The same religions who send their sages off to lonely mountain tops also teach us love and trust。 And the problems that we are facing today in fields like science and in economics are so vast and so complex that we are going to need armies of people coming together to solve them working together。 But I am saying that the more freedom that we give introverts to be themselves, the more likely that they are to come up with their own unique solutions to these problems。
現在沒有誰能夠說 社交技能是不重要的 並且我也不是想呼籲 大家廢除團隊合作模式 但仍是相同的宗教,卻把他們的聖人送到了孤獨的山頂上 仍然教導我們愛與信任 還有我們今天所要面對的問題 像是在科學和經濟領域 是如此的巨大和複雜 以至於我們需要人們強有力地團結起來 共同解決這些問題 但是我想說,越給內向者自由讓他們做自己 他們就做得越好 去想出他們獨特的關於問題的解決辦法
So now I'd like to share with you what's in my suitcase today。 Guess what? Books。 I have a suitcase full of books。 Here's Margaret Atwood, "Cat's Eye。" Here's a novel by Milan Kundera。 And here's "The Guide for the Perplexed" by Maimonides。 But these are not exactly my books。 I brought these books with me because they were written by my grandfather's favorite authors。
所以現在我很高興同你們分享 我手提箱中的東西 猜猜是什麼? 書 我有一個手提箱裡面裝滿了書 這是瑪格麗特·阿特伍德的《貓的眼睛》 這是一本米蘭·昆德拉的書 這是一本《迷途指津》 是邁蒙尼德寫的 但這些實際上都不是我的書 我還是帶著它們,陪伴著我 因為它們都是我祖父最喜愛的作家所寫
My grandfather was a rabbi and he was a widower who lived alone in a small apartment in Brooklyn that was my favorite place in the world when I was growing up, partly because it was filled with his very gentle, very courtly presence and partly because it was filled with books。 I mean literally every table, every chair in this apartment had yielded its original function to now serve as a surface for swaying stacks of books。 Just like the rest of my family, my grandfather's favorite thing to do in the whole world was to read。
我的祖父是一名猶太教祭司 他獨身一人 在布魯克林的一間小公寓中居住 那裡是我從小到大在這個世界上最喜愛的地方 部分原因是他有著非常溫和親切的,溫文爾雅的舉止 部分原因是那裡充滿了書 我的意思是,毫不誇張地說,公寓中的每張桌子,每張椅子 都充分套用著它原有的功能 就是現在作為承載一大堆都在搖曳的書的表面 就像我其他的家庭成員一樣 我祖父在這個世界上最喜歡做的事情就是閱讀
But he also loved his congregation, and you could feel this love in the sermons that he gave every week for the 62 years that he was a rabbi。 He would takes the fruits of each week's reading and he would weave these intricate tapestries of ancient and humanist thought。 And people would come from all over to hear him speak。
但是他同樣也熱愛他的宗教 並且你們可以從他的講述中感覺到他這種愛 這62年來每周他都作為一名猶太教的祭司 他會從每周的閱讀中汲取養分 並且他會編織這些錯綜複雜的古代和人文主義的思想的掛毯 並且人們會從各個地方前來 聽他的講話
But here's the thing about my grandfather。 Underneath this ceremonial role, he was really modest and really introverted —— so much so that when he delivered these sermons, he had trouble making eye contact with the very same congregation that he had been speaking to for 62 years。 And even away from the podium, when you called him to say hello, he would often end the conversation prematurely for fear that he was taking up too much of your time。 But when he died at the age of 94, the police had to close down the streets of his neighborhood to accommodate the crowd of people who came out to mourn him。 And so these days I try to learn from my grandfather's example in my own way。
但是有這么一件關於我祖父的事情 在這個正式的角色下隱藏著 他是一個非常謙虛的非常內向的人 是那么的謙虛內向以至於當他在向人們講述的時候 他都不敢有視線上的接觸 和同樣的教堂會眾 他已經發言有62年了 甚至都還遠離領獎台 當你們讓他說“你好”的時候 他總會提早結束這對話 擔心他會占用你太多的時間 但是當他94歲去世的時候 警察們需要封鎖他所居住的街道鄰里 來容納擁擠的人們 前來哀悼他的人們 這些天來我都試著從我祖父的事例中學習 以我自己的方式
So I just published a book about introversion, and it took me about seven years to write。And for me, that seven years was like total bliss, because I was reading, I was writing, I was thinking, I was researching。 It was my version of my grandfather's hours of the day alone in his library。 But now all of a sudden my job is very different, and my job is to be out here talking about it, talking about introversion。 (Laughter) And that's a lot harder for me,because as honored as I am to be here with all of you right now, this is not my natural milieu。
所以我就出版了一本關於內向性格的書 它花了我7年的時間完成它 而對我來說,這七年像是一種極大的喜悅 因為我在閱讀,我在寫作 我在思考,我在探尋 這是我的版本 對於爺爺一天中幾個小時都要獨自待在圖書館這件事 但是現在突然間我的工作變得很不同了 我的工作變成了站在這裡講述它 講述內向的性格 (笑聲) 而且這對於我來說是有一點困難的 因為我很榮幸 在現在被你們所有人所傾聽 這可不是我自然的文化背景
So I prepared for moments like these as best I could。 I spent the last year practicing public speaking every chance I could get。 And I call this my "year of speaking dangerously。" (Laughter) And that actually helped a lot。 But I'll tell you, what helps even more is my sense, my belief, my hope that when it comes to our attitudes to introversion and to quiet and to solitude, we truly are poised on the brink on dramatic change。 I mean, we are。 And so I am going to leave you now with three calls for action for those who share this vision。
所以我準備了一會就像這樣 以我所能做到的最好的方式 我花了最近一年的時間練習在公共場合發言 在我能得到的每一個機會中 我把這一年稱作我的“危險地發言的一年” (笑聲) 而且它的確幫了我很大的忙 但是我要告訴你們一個幫我更大的忙的事情 那就是我的感覺,我的信仰,我的希望 當談及我們態度的時候 對於內向性格的,對於安靜,對於獨處的態度時 我們確實是在急劇變化的邊緣上保持微妙的平衡 我的意思是,我們在保持平衡 現在我將要給你們留下一些東西 三件對於你們的行動有幫助的事情 獻給那些觀看我的演講的人
Number one: Stop the madness for constant group work。 Just stop it。 (Laughter) Thank you。 (Applause) And I want to be clear about what I'm saying, because I deeply believe our offices should be encouraging casual, chatty cafe—style types of interactions —— you know, the kind where people come together and serendipitously have an exchange of ideas。That is great。 It's great for introverts and it's great for extroverts。 But we need much more privacy and much more freedom and much more autonomy at work。 School, same thing。We need to be teaching kids to work together, for sure, but we also need to be teaching them how to work on their own。 This is especially important for extroverted children too。They need to work on their own because that is where deep thought comes from in part。
第一: 停止對於經常要團隊協作的執迷與瘋狂 停止它就好了 (笑聲) 謝謝你們 (掌聲) 我想讓我所說的事情變得清晰一些 因為我對於我們的辦公深信不疑 應該鼓勵它們 那種休閒隨意的,聊天似的咖啡廳式的相互作用—— 你們知道的,道不同不相為謀,人們聚到一起 並且互相交換著寶貴的意見 這是很棒的 這對於內向者很好,同樣對於外向者也好 但是我們需要更多的隱私和更多的自由 還有更多對於我們本身工作的自主權 對於學校,也是同樣的。 我們當然需要教會孩子們要一起學習工作 但是我們同樣需要教會孩子們怎么樣獨立完成任務 這對於外向的孩子們來說同樣是極為重要的 他們需要獨立完成工作 因為從某種程度上,這是他們深刻思考的來源
Okay, number two: Go to the wilderness。 Be like Buddha, have your own revelations。 I'm not saying that we all have to now go off and build our own cabins in the woods and never talk to each other again, but I am saying that we could all stand to unplug and get inside our own heads a little more often。
好了,第二個:去到野外(打開思維) 就像佛祖一樣,擁有你們自己對於事物的揭示啟迪 我並不是說 我們都要跑去小樹林裡建造我們自己的小屋 並且之後就永遠不和別人說話了 但是我要說我們都可以堅持去去除一些障礙物 然後深入我們自己的大腦思想 時不時得再深入一點
Number three: Take a good look at what's inside your own suitcase and why you put it there。 So extroverts, maybe your suitcases are also full of books。 Or maybe they're full of champagne glasses or skydiving equipment。 Whatever it is, I hope you take these things out every chance you get and grace us with your energy and your joy。 But introverts, you being you, you probably have the impulse to guard very carefully what's inside your own suitcase。 And that's okay。 But occasionally, just occasionally, I hope you will open up your suitcases for other people to see, because the world needs you and it needs the things you carry。
第三點: 好好看一眼你的旅行箱內有什麼東西 還有你為什麼把它放進去 所以外向者們 也許你們的箱子內同樣堆滿了書 或者它們裝滿了香檳的玻璃酒杯 或者是跳傘運動的設備 不管它是什麼,我希望每當你們有機會你們就把它拿出來 用你的能量和你的快樂讓我們感受到美和享受 但是內向者們,你們作為內向者 你們很可能有仔細保護一切的衝動 在你箱子裡的東西 這沒有問題 但是偶爾地,只是說偶爾地 我希望你們可以打開你們的手提箱,讓別人看一看 因為這個世界需要你們,同樣需要你們身上所攜帶的你們特有的事物
So I wish you the best of all possible journeys and the courage to speak softly。
所以對於你們即將走上的所有旅程,我都給予你們我最美好的祝願 還有溫柔地說話的勇氣
Thank you。 Thank you。
非常感謝你們
(掌聲)

關於奮鬥的英語演講 篇16
Good morning everyone!
let me begin my speech with a replay of scenes familiar to most, if not all, of those present here today.
"mum, i'm sorry, but i need 3,000 yuan for my tuition this year."
"mum, it is my friend's birthday tomorrow, i must buy her a present."
"mum, this jacket was out of fashion long ago, would you do me a favor? "
take. take. take. the relationship between a mother and a child always seems to follow such a pattern. i know my mother is always there for me, providing me with everything i need; from food to clothing, from tuition to pocket money. i never thought twice about all she did until one day she said, "will there be a time that you'll say you have taken enough from me? "
like a child endlessly asking, we humans, throughout history, have been continually demanding what we desire from nature. we enjoy the comfort and beauty of our furniture, yet we never bother to think about the serious soil erosion caused by deforestation. we take it for granted that we must warm ourselves in winter times, yet we seldom realize the burning away of precious natural resources. we appreciate all the prosperity from the development of modern industry, yet few would give the slightest consideration to the global air and water pollution caused by industrial wastes. our ruthless exploitation has permanently impaired our mother earth. as we tragically learned from last summer's floods. we cannot continue our carelessness.
finally, standing here at the threshold of the 21st century, we cannot help thinking of our posterity. nature is not only the mother of the present generation, but also the mother of the generations to come. how severely our descendents will criticize us if we leave them a barren and lifeless mother? how much more they will appreciate us if we give them a world of harmony to inherit? let us start respecting and caring for nature from now on. let us start the campaign of creating a mutually beneficial relationship between people and nature right from this moment. with this new start, i firmly believe, that our children, and our children's children will live in a brand new age of green trees, clean air, crystal water, blue sky and an even more promising world!

關於奮鬥的英語演講 篇18
When you are a kid, you get asked this one particular question a lot, it really gets kind of annoying. What do you want to be when you grow up? Now, adults are hoping for answers like, I want to be an astronaut or I want to be a neurosurgeon, you’re adults in your imaginations.
Kids, they’re most likely to answer with pro-skateboarder, surfer or minecraft player. I asked my little brother, and he said, seriously dude, I’m 10, I have no idea, probably a pro-skier, let’s go get some ice cream.
See, us kids are going to answer something we’re stoked on, what we think is cool, what we have experience with, and that’s typically the opposite of what adults want to hear.
But if you ask a little kid, sometimes you’ll get the best answer, something so simple, so obvious and really profound. When I grow up, I want to be happy.
For me, when I grow up, I want to continue to be happy like I am now. I’m stoked to be here at TedEx, I mean, I’ve been watching Ted videos for as long as I can remember, but I never thought I’d make it on the stage here so soon. I mean, I just became a teenager, and like most teenage boys, I spend most of my time wondering, how did my room get so messy all on its own.
Did I take a shower today? And the most perplexing of all, how do I get girls to like me? Neurosciences say that the teenage brain is pretty weird, our prefrontal cortex is underdeveloped, but we actually have more neurons than adults, which is why we can be so creative, and impulsive and moody and get bummed out.
But what bums me out is to know that, a lot of kids today are just wishing to be happy, to be healthy, to be safe, not bullied, and be loved for who they are. So it seems to me when adults say, what do you want to be when you grow up? They just assume that you’ll automatically be happy and healthy.
Well, maybe that’s not the case, go to school, go to college, get a job, get married, boom, then you’ll be happy, right? You don’t seem to make learning how to be happy and healthy a priority in our schools, it’s separate from schools. And for some kids, it doesn’t exists at all? But what if we didn’t make it separate? What if we based education on the study and practice of being happy and healthy, because that’s what it is, a practice, and a simple practice at that?
Education is important, but why is being happy and healthy not considered education, I just don’t get it. So I’ve been studying the science of being happy and healthy. It really comes down to practicing these eight things. Exercise, diet and nutrition, time in nature, contribution, service to others, relationships, recreation, relaxation and stress management, and religious or spiritual involvement, yes, got that one.
So these eight things come from Dr. Roger Walsh, he calls them Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes or TLCs for short. He is a scientist that studies how to be happy and healthy. In researching this talk, I got a chance to ask him a few questions like; do you think that our schools today are making these eight TLCs a priority? His response was no surprise, it was essentially no. But he did say that many people do try to get this kind of education outside of the traditional arena, through reading and practices such as meditation or yoga.
But what I thought was his best response was that, much of education is oriented for better or worse towards making a living rather than making a life.
In 20__, Sir Ken Robinson gave the most popular Ted talk of all time. Schools kill creativity. His message is that creativity is as important as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status.
A lot of parents watched those videos, some of those parents like mine counted it as one of the reasons they felt confident to pull their kids from traditional school to try something different. I realized I’m part of this small, but growing revolution of kids who are going about their education differently, and you know what? It freaks a lot of people out.
Even though I was only nine, when my parents pulled me out of the school system, I can still remember my mom being in tears when some of her friends told her she was crazy and it was a stupid idea.
Looking back, I’m thankful she didn’t cave to peer pressure, and I think she is too. So, out of the 200 million people that have watched Sir Ken Robinson’s talk, why aren’t there more kids like me out there?
Shane McConkey is my hero. I loved him because he was the world’s best skier. But then, one day I realized what I really loved about Shane, he was a hacker. Not a computer hacker, he hacked skiing. His creativity and inventions made skiing what it is today, and why I love to ski. A lot of people think of hackers as geeky computer nerds who live in their parent’s basement and spread computer viruses, but I don’t see it that way.

Harry S. Truman: "The Truman Doctrine"
Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Congress of the United States:
The gravity of the situation which confronts the world today necessitates my appearance before a joint session of the Congress. The foreign policy and the national security of this country are involved. One aspect of the present situation, which I present to you at this time for your consideration and decision, concerns Greece and Turkey. The United States has received from the Greek Government an urgent appeal for financial and economic assistance. Preliminary reports from the American Economic Mission now in Greece and reports from the American Ambassador in Greece corroborate the statement of the Greek Government that assistance is imperative if Greece is to survive as a free nation.
I do not believe that the American people and the Congress wish to turn a deaf ear to the appeal of the Greek Government. Greece is not a rich country. Lack of sufficient natural resources has always forced the Greek people to work hard to make both ends meet. Since 1940, this industrious, peace loving country has suffered invasion, four years of cruel enemy occupation, and bitter internal strife.
When forces of liberation entered Greece they found that the retreating Germans had destroyed virtually all the railways, roads, port facilities, communications, and merchant marine. More than a thousand villages had been burned. Eighty-five per cent of the children were tubercular. Livestock, poultry, and draft animals had almost disappeared. Inflation had wiped out practically all savings. As a result of these tragic conditions, a militant minority, exploiting human want and misery, was able to create political chaos which, until now, has made economic recovery impossible.
Greece is today without funds to finance the importation of those goods which are essential to bare subsistence. Under these circumstances, the people of Greece cannot make progress in solving their problems of reconstruction. Greece is in desperate need of financial and economic assistance to enable it to resume purchases of food, clothing, fuel, and seeds. These are indispensable for the subsistence of its people and are obtainable only from abroad. Greece must have help to import the goods necessary to restore internal order and security, so essential for economic and political recovery. The Greek Government has also asked for the assistance of experienced American administrators, economists, and technicians to insure that the financial and other aid given to Greece shall be used effectively in creating a stable and self-sustaining economy and in improving its public administration.
The very existence of the Greek state is today threatened by the terrorist activities of several thousand armed men, led by Communists, who defy the government's authority at a number of points, particularly along the northern boundaries. A Commission appointed by the United Nations security Council is at present investigating disturbed conditions in northern Greece and alleged border violations along the frontiers between Greece on the one hand and Albania, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia on the other.
Meanwhile, the Greek Government is unable to cope with the situation. The Greek army is small and poorly equipped. It needs supplies and equipment if it is to restore authority of the government throughout Greek territory. Greece must have assistance if it is to become a self-supporting and self-respecting democracy. The United States must supply this assistance. We have already extended to Greece certain types of relief and economic aid. But these are inadequate. There is no other country to which democratic Greece can turn. No other nation is willing and able to provide the necessary support for a democratic Greek government.
The British Government, which has been helping Greece, can give no further financial or economic aid after March 31st. Great Britain finds itself under the necessity of reducing or liquidating its commitments in several parts of the world, including Greece.
We have considered how the United Nations might assist in this crisis. But the situation is an urgent one, requiring immediate action, and the United Nations and its related organizations are not in a position to extend help of the kind that is required.
It is important to note that the Greek Government has asked for our aid in utilizing effectively the financial and other assistance we may give to Greece, and in improving its public administration. It is of the utmost importance that we supervise the use of any funds made available to Greece in such a manner that each dollar spent will count toward making Greece self-supporting, and will help to build an economy in which a healthy democracy can flourish.
No government is perfect. One of the chief virtues of a democracy, however, is that its defects are always visible and under democratic processes can be pointed out and corrected. The Government of Greece is not perfect. Nevertheless it represents eighty-five per cent of the members of the Greek Parliament who were chosen in an election last year. Foreign observers, including 692 Americans, considered this election to be a fair expression of the views of the Greek people.
The Greek Government has been operating in an atmosphere of chaos and extremism. It has made mistakes. The extension of aid by this country does not mean that the United States condones everything that the Greek Government has done or will do. We have condemned in the past, and we condemn now, extremist measures of the right or the left. We have in the past advised tolerance, and we advise tolerance now.
Greek's neighbor, Turkey, also deserves our attention. The future of Turkey, as an independent and economically sound state, is clearly no less important to the freedom-loving peoples of the world than the future of Greece. The circumstances in which Turkey finds itself today are considerably different from those of Greece. Turkey has been spared the disasters that have beset Greece. And during the war, the United States and Great Britain furnished Turkey with material aid.
Nevertheless, Turkey now needs our support. Since the war, Turkey has sought financial assistance from Great Britain and the United States for the purpose of effecting that modernization necessary for the maintenance of its national integrity. That integrity is essential to the preservation of order in the Middle East. The British government has informed us that, owing to its own difficulties, it can no longer extend financial or economic aid to Turkey. As in the case of Greece, if Turkey is to have the assistance it needs, the United States must supply it. We are the only country able to provide that help.
I am fully aware of the broad implications involved if the United States extends assistance to Greece and Turkey, and I shall discuss these implications with you at this time. One of the primary objectives of the foreign policy of the United States is the creation of conditions in which we and other nations will be able to work out a way of life free from coercion. This was a fundamental issue in the war with Germany and Japan. Our victory was won over countries which sought to impose their will, and their way of life, upon other nations.
To ensure the peaceful development of nations, free from coercion, the United States has taken a leading part in establishing the United Nations. The United Nations is designed to make possible lasting freedom and independence for all its members. We shall not realize our objectives, however, unless we are willing to help free peoples to maintain their free institutions and their national integrity against aggressive movements that seek to impose upon them totalitarian regimes. This is no more than a frank recognition that totalitarian regimes imposed upon free peoples, by direct or indirect aggression, undermine the foundations of international peace, and hence the security of the United States.
The peoples of a number of countries of the world have recently had totalitarian regimes forced upon them against their will. The Government of the United States has made frequent protests against coercion and intimidation in violation of the Yalta agreement in Poland, Rumania, and Bulgaria. I must also state that in a number of other countries there have been similar developments.
At the present moment in world history nearly every nation must choose between alternative ways of life. The choice is too often not a free one. One way of life is based upon the will of the majority, and is distinguished by free institutions, representative government, free elections, guarantees of individual liberty, freedom of speech and religion, and freedom from political oppression. The second way of life is based upon the will of a minority forcibly imposed upon the majority. It relies upon terror and oppression, a controlled press and radio, fixed elections, and the suppression of personal freedoms.
I believe that it must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures.
I believe that we must assist free peoples to work out their own destinies in their own way.
I believe that our help should be primarily through economic and financial aid which is essential to economic stability and orderly political processes.
The world is not static, and the status quo is not sacred. But we cannot allow changes in the status quo in violation of the Charter of the United Nations by such methods as coercion, or by such subterfuges as political infiltration. In helping free and independent nations to maintain their freedom, the United States will be giving effect to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations.
It is necessary only to glance at a map to realize that the survival and integrity of the Greek nation are of grave importance in a much wider situation. If Greece should fall under the control of an armed minority, the effect upon its neighbor, Turkey, would be immediate and serious. Confusion and disorder might well spread throughout the entire Middle East. Moreover, the disappearance of Greece as an independent state would have a profound effect upon those countries in Europe whose peoples are struggling against great difficulties to maintain their freedoms and their independence while they repair the damages of war.
It would be an unspeakable tragedy if these countries, which have struggled so long against overwhelming odds, should lose that victory for which they sacrificed so much. Collapse of free institutions and loss of independence would be disastrous not only for them but for the world. Discouragement and possibly failure would quickly be the lot of neighboring peoples striving to maintain their freedom and independence.
Should we fail to aid Greece and Turkey in this fateful hour, the effect will be far reaching to the West as well as to the East.
We must take immediate and resolute action. I therefore ask the Congress to provide authority for assistance to Greece and Turkey in the amount of $400,000,000 for the period ending June 30, 1948. In requesting these funds, I have taken into consideration the maximum amount of relief assistance which would be furnished to Greece out of the $350,000,000 which I recently requested that the Congress authorize for the prevention of starvation and suffering in countries devastated by the war.
In addition to funds, I ask the Congress to authorize the detail of American civilian and military personnel to Greece and Turkey, at the request of those countries, to assist in the tasks of reconstruction, and for the purpose of supervising the use of such financial and material assistance as may be furnished. I recommend that authority also be provided for the instruction and training of selected Greek and Turkish personnel. Finally, I ask that the Congress provide authority which will permit the speediest and most effective use, in terms of needed commodities, supplies, and equipment, of such funds as may be authorized. If further funds, or further authority, should be needed for purposes indicated in this message, I shall not hesitate to bring the situation before the Congress. On this subject the Executive and Legislative branches of the Government must work together.
This is a serious course upon which we embark. I would not recommend it except that the alternative is much more serious. The United States contributed $341,000,000,000 toward winning World War II. This is an investment in world freedom and world peace. The assistance that I am recommending for Greece and Turkey amounts to little more than 1 tenth of 1 per cent of this investment. It is only common sense that we should safeguard this investment and make sure that it was not in vain. The seeds of totalitarian regimes are nurtured by misery and want. They spread and grow in the evil soil of poverty and strife. They reach their full growth when the hope of a people for a better life has died.
We must keep that hope alive.
The free peoples of the world look to us for support in maintaining their freedoms. If we falter in our leadership, we may endanger the peace of the world. And we shall surely endanger the welfare of this nation.
Great responsibilities have been placed upon us by the swift movement of events.
I am confident that the Congress will face these responsibilities squarely.

My Attitude towards to Marks 我的分數觀
For our students, marks is above everything. Teachers will judge us from our marks. With marks we can be enrolled into junior middle schools. With marks, we can be enrolled into senior middle schools. With marks we can be enrolled into college. With marks we can be enrolled into postgraduate and doctrine studies. Still with marks we can be graded and be allowed to go abroad for further studies. Our parents will be strict with us with the marks. Our society judge us from marks. However, sometimes we students compare one another with marks directly. We are completely controlled by marks. We like them and we feel sorry for them. But what attitude towards our marks should we take?
Truly, marks functions cannot be underestimated. In terms of test in our study, marks are fair and real. That is the reason why we say "Everyone is equal before marks. "
However, I think marks are the sole standard to judge the success or failure of students in exams. Sometimes, marks more than ten or less than one or two in our exams comparing with others mean not everything. The success or failure in exams will be influenced by experience on the spot and the examinee’s health etc. Once in a while one cannot fail in exams. " Success or failure is common sense for military. " I think everyone is familiar with the famous saying. Don’t you think such will be the case with our study? In exams, one cannot be " never-defeated general" . Even though one will be very good in everyday study, he cannot succeed in every exam sometimes. We can get proof from the fact that the very best one we call "Number One Scholar" in the entrance exams for college and ordinary middle school and specialized secondary school over the years is not eminent above all others nor top student in every study.
As a matter of fact, "high marks" and "ability" are not unified. Some time ago, a new phrase " high marks but poor competence" came into being. Once I happened to meet such a teacher as this .It is said that the teacher just graduated from a far-famed key university. But his teaching result is much less than that of the one who just graduated from a not-well-renowned college. When lecturing, the teacher only repeated what the text-books says, which was very dull so the his students’ interest in learning was not aroused. His teaching was short of unity of teaching and learning. At present there is a fact that we know a few brilliant and top college graduates are not qualified for their posts. The reason for it may be lack of the ability to combine knowledge learnt from books with pragmatics in their work. Students of this kind will be successful in every exam but they will be able to use freely their knowledge in their posts. Don’t you think it waste training such persons for the country?
To sum up from the above, I can say marks are not absolutely authoritative for some. If we neglect training and developing the students’ ability and competence and if we only seek for the high marks, we will be absolutely wrong. We should take an objective attitude towards the marks. Neither should we neglect them nor should we overvalue them like a God.
分數,對於我們學生來說,是至關重要的了。老師要用分數來衡量我們—上國中,要分數;上高中,要分數;上大學要分數,考研究生、博士要分數,出國、評職稱還是要分數。家長要用分數來要求我們;社會用分數來衡量我們。
而我們自己也常常用分數在相互直接做著攀比。我們完全為分數所左右了,我們為它歡喜,我們為它喪氣。那么,我們應該怎樣對待分數呢?
的確,分數有它不可低估的作用。從檢驗學習的角度上來說,它具有一定的公平性和真實性,“分數面前人人平等”,講的就是這個道理。然而,分數並不是估量一個學生成敗得失的惟一標準。考試成績偶爾低了一兩分乃至十來分,並不一定說明什麼問題。考試的成敗有時也會受到諸如臨場經驗、健康狀況等方面的影響。“勝敗乃是兵家常事”這句話大概不會有人不知道,而我們在學習上又何嘗不如此?在考試上很少有“常勝之師”,即使平時成績再好的同學,也難免會有偶爾的失誤。歷屆中考、高考“狀元”並非就是平時出類拔萃的優等生的事實,便是明證。
事實上,“高分”與“能力”往往是不統一的。前段時間,社會上出現了一個新詞:“高分低能”。筆者就曾經碰見這樣一位教師,據說他畢業於某赫赫有名的重點大學,但從教學效果上講,卻遠遠遜色於一些非高等學府畢業的老師。其授課只是照本宣讀而已,枯燥乏味,缺乏一種教與學之間的協調功能。根本不能引起聽課同學的興趣,目前不少大中專院校的高材生畢業後不能勝任他們的工作,原因就在於缺少將書本中的知識運用到實際工作中去的能力。這種人,儘管在學校中每每能考出高分,可無法在工作崗位上靈活白如地運用自己所學到的知識。國家培養出這樣的“人材”,不也是一種浪費嗎?
由此可見,分數並不如有些人想像得那么絕對和,忽視了對各方面才能的培養,只一味追求高分,是不行的。因此,我們應該客觀地去看待分數,既不應過分輕視它,也沒有必要把它看得過於神聖。

In this symposium, better is it to only sit in silence. To express ones feelings as the end draws near is too intimate a task. That I would mention only one thought that comes to me as a listener-in: the riders in a race do not stop short when they reach the goal, there is a little finishing canter before coming to a standstill, there is time to hear the kind voice of friends, and to say to oneself, the work is done. But just as one says that, the answer comes, the race is over, but the work never is done while the power to work remains.
The canter that brings you to a standstill need not be only coming to rest; it cannot be while you still live. But to live is to function, that is all there is in living. So I end with a land from a Latin voice: death, death, clutches my ear, and says, live, I am coming.--By Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Hemingway often thought of courage as a person's ability to be calm andcontrolled in the face of death.His theme is presented in his novel "For Whomthe Bell Tolls?" the story "The Old Man and the Sea" and in our textbook "ADay's Wait".By misunderstanding a different thermometer the boy thought he wasrunning a high fever and would soon die.But he took his death bravely and waitedquietly for it.The boy showed us he had courage.
I think such a definition ofcourage is far from enough.Courage should not be limited and related only todeath.In ordinary life there are common things that also show a person'scourage.For example,on a bus trip,a thief was trying to steal a girl'spurse.Some people saw it,but kept quiet.They were afraid to be revenged by thethief.The brave stood out and stopped the thief.
Courage means truth andjustice to me.The person in a high position often hear songs in praise ofhim.Some people are sincere.Some are only flattering the superior in their ownfavor.The leader also needs courage to welcome criticism as well as those whohave the courage to criticize him.Such courage may come from mutualunderstanding.I think a man of courage will value truth and justice,and nothesitate in his actions to do what he thinks is right,There is no such word asfear in his dictionary.

Hello,everybody !it is my great honor to be here to share my idea with you .Today,I will talk something about DREAM——A word that has changed the world .
“What do you think is the word that has really changed our world ”
When I was asked about this question for the first time ,without thinking it too much ,a word flash into my mind ——DREAM ,D-R-E-A-M.People more or less dream about different things ,to be a teacher ,a doctor ,a scientist ,a businessman and so on .All these people who have dreams should be respected ,because Dreams make the world go around .We grow great by our dreams.All big men are great dreamers in their youth.Everyone has a dream ,and everything starts as one’s daydream.
Martin Luther king had a dream.He desired for a future where blacks and whites would coexist harmoniously as equals.By speaking the way he did,he educated,he inspired,he informed not just the people there,but people throughout America and unborn generations.He pushed forward the pace of American black society towards the racial equality .
Thomas Edison had a dream.He dreamed of a lamp that could be operated by electricity,began where he stood to put his dream into action,and despite more than ten thousand failures,he stood by that dream until he made it a physical reality!And today,his dream lights up the world at night.
Walt Disney had a dream.This,in itself,wasn't unusual -- he was always dreaming.He dreamed of making the first animated feature film,and of building an amusement park that parents could enjoy right along with their kids.Walt Disney empowered his dream and today,Disneyland,Disney world and Disney theme parks attract around the world thrill millions of visitors each and every year.
John F.kennedy had a dream.He wanted to land a man on the moon and return him safely to earth so as to restore faith in the American way of life.John F.kennedy empowered his dream and 8 years later Neil Armstrong stepped on the face of the moon.The moon landing certainly gave Americans new found confidence.
Dream --- A word that has changed the world Yes ,I would say so ,wouldn’t you
Youth is a special life relay station ,the growth with the worry ,the life feeling become aware happily with the dream ,collected a unique youth melody in here .
We decide.We choose.And as we decide and choose,so are our lives formed.In the end,forming our own destiny is what ambition is about.And most importantly ,You are the one you choose to be.
It is easy to waste our lives ,our days ,our minutes .It is easy to exist than living .So hold fast to your dreams,For if dreams die,life is a broken-winged bird,That cannot fly.Hold fast to your dreams,For when dreams go,life is a barren field,Frozen with snow.

Reading through UNITEC of Chinese students in the exchange, I understand MARKETING study very hard, I need to put more time and energy on top. Maybe I can not be like the other students on edge as the Edge Reading. But my parents understood my idea, I am willing to fully support the school.

In the world, I am sure that no one dare say he hasn't met any trouble allhis life. So we must face failure. In fact, failure is not fearful, butimportant thing is how to face it correctly. Facing failure, people will nevertake their fate lying down.They will try their best to work harder and harderuntil at last they succeed.
Not being courageous to face setbacks, people have no chance to enjoy thepleasure of success. So they have nothing to do but feel sad and empty all dayand all night. In fact, they lose the chance of success themselves.
My friend, whenever in trouble, please remember, “Failure is the mother ofsuccess.”
Twists and turns in life are unavoidable and are not always bad. We shouldhave a more optimistic view on life and try to make the most of it and drawlessons from the bumps and turns along the way.
If there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is theability to profit by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because theperson was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his nextundertaking. Confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed indeed to failure.For it isn't defeat that makes you fail: it is your own refusal to see in defeatthe guide and encouragement to success. Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of.They are routine incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. Butdefeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without humiliation, analyze it andlearn why you failed.
Defeat, in other words, can help to cure its own cause. Not only doesdefeat prepare us for success, but nothing can arouse within us such acompelling desire to succeed. If you let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull itaway, he will cling more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspended.It is this same reaction which should give you new and greater strength everytime you are defeated. If you exploit the power which defeat gives, you canaccomplish with it far more than you are capable of.

What College Education Means to Me
大學教育對我的意義
The title of my speech is "What college education means to me".Nowreflecting on the past two and half years of my college experience, I come torealize how much it has shaped me.
今天我演講的題目是“大學教育對我的意義”。回顧思索著逝去的兩年半的大學生活,我漸漸認識到大學教育對我產生的巨大影響。
For me, college education is a marvelous ship-builder who designed me fromkneel plates up.
對我來說,大學教育猶如一位技藝精湛的造船師,從船頭至船尾地塑造了我。
With great vision, college education has equipped me, first with a powerfulpropeller----the sophisticated knowledge in certain field and wide exposure toother disciplines. By dedicating myself to the engineering courses in the dayand immersing myself in the rich banquet of the world literature at night, I'veamassed the driving force for the future and enriched my soul.
首先,具有遠見卓識的大學教育為我裝配了一隻馬力強勁的推進器;精深的專業知識及廣博的課外知識給我帶來無限動力。白天我全神貫注地研習自己的工科課程,晚上則盡情享受世界文學所帶來的盛宴,在此過程中,我既為未來積聚了力量,又充實了自己的靈魂。
Besides, college education has also provided me with a precisecompass----the sense of social responsibility. How can I best serve the interestof the public while achieving my self-fulfillment? My one year's experience as apart-time English teacher has testified: to be valuable to society as well as tofind my place, I have to possess some actual strength and the ability tofunction well in the most challenging situation. Amid the hectic schedule thatbalances club activities, sports, and academic courses, I feel the rhythm andbeauty in the intensity of my high-pitched life, knowing that I 'm on the rightway.
此外,大學教育還為我提供了一個精確的羅盤,即社會責任感。“如何才能在實現自我價值的同時最大限度地服務於社會?”我一年的兼職英語教師的經歷證明:只有擁有過硬的實力和對高挑戰性局面應付自如的能力,我才能成為一個對社會有價值的人,一個找到自己位置的人。在協調著社團活動、體育運動和專業課程的忙碌日程中,我感受到了高節奏、高密度生活的韻律與美麗。
And more importantly, college education has set up not only single ships,but also fleets with common destinations. By interacting with friends of commonbeliefs, I've acquired skills of relating to other people.
更為重要的是,大學教育不僅僅製造了一隻只單個的船隻,他還組建了一支支駛向同一目的地的大艦隊。在與志趣相投的朋友們的相處、融合中,我鍛鍊了與人交往的能力。
Now ,as a ship about to make my maiden voyage, I'm still not in theposition to tell what's waiting ahead of me ,but with a powerful propeller, aprecise compass and ardent companions of sailing in the sea of society, I'mready to be a great sea-explorer.
現在我即將作為一隻巨輪開始我的首航,儘管前方的情況還無法預料,我卻有充足的信心作一名出色的海洋探索者,因為我有強勁的推進器、精確的羅盤,還有一幫與我同行 、一起駛向社會之洋的熱心朋友!
Thank you.
謝謝大家!
