It is such an honor and pleasure for me to be back at Yale, especially on the occasion of the 300th anniversary. I have had so many memories of my time here, and as Nick was speaking I thought about how I ended up at Yale Law School. And it tells a little bit about how much progress we’ve made.What I think most about when I think of Yale is not just the politically charged atmosphere and not even just the superb legal education that I received. It was at Yale that I began work that has been at the core of what I have cared about ever since. I began working with New Haven legal services representing children. And I studied child development, abuse and neglect at the Yale New Haven Hospital and the Child Study Center. I was lucky enough to receive a civil rights internship with Marian Wright Edelman at the Children’s Defense Fund, where I went to work after I graduated. Those experiences fueled in me a passion to work for the benefit of children, particularly the most vulnerable.Now, looking back, there is no way that I could have predicted what path my life would have taken. I didn’t sit around the law school, saying, well, you know, I think I’ll graduate and then I’ll go to work at the Children’s Defense Fund, and then the impeachment inquiry, and Nixon retired or resigns, I’ll go to Arkansas. I didn’t think like that. I was taking each day at a time.But, I’ve been very fortunate because I’ve always had an idea in my mind about what I thought was important and what gave my life meaning and purpose. A set of values and beliefs that have helped me navigate the shoals, the sometimes very treacherous sea, to illuminate my own true desires, despite that others say about what l should care about and believe in. A passion to succeed at what l thought was important and children have always provided that lone star, that guiding light. Because l have that absolute conviction that every child, especially in this, the most blessed of nations that has ever existed on the face of earth, that every child deserves the opportunity to live up to his or her God-given potential.But you know that belief and conviction-it may make for a personal mission statement, butstanding alone, not translated into action, it means very little to anyone else, particularly to those for whom you have those concerns.When I was thinking about running for the United States Senate-which was such an enormous decision to make, one I never could have dreamed that I would have been making when I was here on campus-I visited a school in New York City and I met a young woman, who was a star athlete.I was there because of Billy Jean King promoting an HBO special about women in sports called “Dare to compete.” It was about Title IX and how we finally, thanks to government action, provided opportunities to girls and women in sports.And although I played not very well at intramural sports, I have always been a strong supporter of women in sports. And I was introduced by this young woman, and as I went to shake her hand she obviously had been reading the newspapers about people saying I should or shouldn’t run for the Senate. And I was congratulating her on the speech she had just m ade and she held onto my hand and she said, “Dare to compete, Mrs. Clinton. Dare to compete.”I took that to heart because it is hard to compete sometimes, especially in public ways, when your failures are there for everyone to see and you don’t know what is going to happen from one day to the next. And yet so much of life, whether we like to accept it or not, is competing with ourselves to be the best we can be, being involved in classes or professions or just life, where we know we are competing with others.I took her advice and I did compete because I chose to do so. And the biggest choices that you’ll face in your life will be yours alone to make. I’m sure you’ll receive good advice. You’re got a great education to go back and reflect about what is ri ght for you, but you eventually will have to choose and I hope that you will dare to compete. And by that I don’t mean the kind of cutthroat competition that is too often characterized by what is driving America today. I mean the small voice inside you that says to you, you can do it, you can take this risk, you can take this next step.And it doesn’t mean that once having made that choice you will always succeed. In fact, you won’t. There are setbacks and you will experience difficult disappointments. You will be slowed down and sometimes the breath will just be knocked out of you. But if you carry with you the values and beliefs that you can make a difference in your own life, first and foremost, and then in the lives of others. You can get back up, you can keep going.But it is also important, as I have found, not to take yourself too seriously, because after all, every one of us here today, none of us is deserving of full credit. I think every day of the blessings my birth gave me without any doing of my own. I chose neither my family nor my country, but they as much as anything I’ve ever done, determined my course.You compare my or your circumstances with those of the majority of people who’ve ever lived or who are living right now, they too often are born knowing too well what their futures will be. They lack the freedom to choose their life’s path. They’re imprisoned by circumstances of poverty and ignorance, bigotry, disease, hunger, oppression and war.So, dare to compete, yes, but maybe even more difficult, dare to care. Dare to care about people who need our help to succeed and fulfill their own lives. There are so many out there and sometimes all it takes is the simplest of gestures or helping hands and many of you understand that already. I know that the numbers of graduates in the last 20 years have worked in community organizations, have tutored, have committed themselves to religious activities.You have been there trying to serve because you have believed both that it was the right thing to do and because it gave something back to you. You have dared to care.Well, dare to care to fight for equal justice for all, for equal pay for women, against hate crimes and bigotry. Dare to care about public schools without qualified teachers or adequate resources. Dare to care about protecting our environment. Dare to care about the 10 million children in our country who lack health insurance. Dare to care about the one and a half million children who have a parent in jail. The seven million people who suffer from HIV/AIDS. And thank you for caring enough to demand that our nation do more to help those that are suffering throughout this world with HIV/AIDS, to prevent this pandemic from spreading even further.And I’ll also add, dare enough to care abou t our political process. You know, as I go and speak with students I’m impressed so much, not only in formal settings, on campuses, but with my daughter and her friends, about how much you care, about how willing you are to volunteer and serve. You may have missed the last wave of the revolution, but you’ve understood that the munity revolution is there for you every single day. And you’ve been willing to be part of remarking lives in our community.And yet, there is a real resistance, a turning away from the political process. I hope that some of you will be public servants and will even run for office yourself, not to win a position to make and impression on your friends at your 20th reunion, but because you understand how important it is for each of us as citizens to make a commitment to our democracy.Your generation, the first one born after the social upheavals of the 60’s and 70’s, in the midst of the technological advances of the 80’s and 90’s, are inheriting an economy, a society and a government that has yet to understand fully, or even come to grips with, our rapidly changing world.And so bring your values and experiences and insights into politics. Dare to help make, not just a difference in politics, but create a different politics. Some have called you thegeneration of choice. You’ve been raised with multiple choice tests, multiple channels, multiple websites and multiple lifestyles. You’ve grown up choosing among alternatives that were either not imagined, created or available to people in prior generations.You’ve been invested with far more personal power to customize your life, to make more free choices about how to live than was ever thought possible. And I think as I look at all the surveys and research that is done, your choices reflect not only freedom, but personal responsibility.The social indicators, not the headlines, the social indicators tell a positive story: drug use and cheating and arrests being down, been pregnancy and suicides, drunk driving deaths being down. Community service and religious involvement being up. But if you look at the area of voting among 18 to 29 year olds, the numbers tell a far more troubling tale. Many of you I know believe that service and community volunteerism is a better way of solving the issues facing our country than political engagement, because you believe-choose one of the following multiples or choose them all-government either can’t understand or won’t make the right choices because of political pressures, inefficiency, incompetence or big money influence.Well, I admit there is enough truth in that critique to justify feeling disconnected and alienated. But at bottom, that’s a personal cop-out and a national peril. Political conditions maximize the conditions for individual opportunity and responsibility as well as community. Americorps and the Peace Corps exist because of political decisions. Our air, water, land and food will be clean and safe because of political choices. Our ability to cure disease or log onto the Internet have been advanced because of politically determined investments. Ethnic cleansing in Kosovo ended because of political leadership. Your parents and grandparents traveled here by means of government built and subsidized transportation systems. Many used GI Bills or government loans, as I did, to attend college.Now, I could, as you might guess, go on and on, but the point is to remind us all that government is us and each generation has to stake its claim. And, as stakeholders, you will have to decide whether or not to make the choice to participate. It is hard and it is, bringing change in a democracy, particularly now. There’s so much about our modern times that conspire to lower our sights, to weaken our vision-as individuals and communities and even nations.It is not the vast conspiracy you may have heard about; rather it’s a silent conspiracy of cynicism and indifference and alienation that we see every day, in our popular culture and in our prodigious consumerism.But as many have said before and as Vaclav Havel has said to memorably, “It cannot suffice just to invent new machines, new regulations and new institutions. It is necessary to understand differently and more perfectly the true purpose of our existence on this Earth and of our deeds.” And I think we are called on to reject, in this time of blessings thatwe enjoy, those who will tear us apart and tear us down and instead to liberate our God-given spirit, by being willing to dare to dream of a better world.During my campaign, when times were tough and days were long I used to think about the example of Harriet Tubman, a heroic New Yorker, a 19th century Moses, who risked her life to bring hundreds of slaves to freedom. She would say to those who she gathered up in the South where she kept going back year after year from the safety of Auburn, New York, that no matter what happens, they had to keep going. If they heard shouts behind them, they had to keep going. If they heard gunfire or dogs, they had to keep going to freedom. Well, those are n’t the risks we face. It is more the silence and apathy and indifference that dogs our heels.Thirty-two years ago, I spoke at my own graduation from Wellesley, where I did call on my fellow classmates to reject the notion of limitations on our ability to effect change and instead to embrace the idea that the goal of education should be human liberation and the freedom to practice with all the skill of our being the art of making possible.For after all, our fate is to be free. To choose competition over apathy, caring over indifference, vision over myopia, and love over hate.Just as this is a special time in your lives, it is for me as well because my daughter will be graduating in four weeks, graduating also from a wonderful place with a great education and beginning a new life. And as I think about all the parents and grandparents who are out there, I have a sense of what their feeling. Their hearts are leaping with joy, but it’s hard to keep tears in check because the presence of our children at a time and place such as this is really a fulfillment of our own American dreams. Well, I applaud you and all of your love, commitment and hard work, just as I applaud your daughters and sons for theirs.And I leave these graduates with the same message I hope to leave with my graduate. Dare to compete. Dare to care. Dare to dream. Dare to love. Practice the art of making possible. And no matter what happens, even if you hear shouts behind, keep going.Thank you and God bless you all.。

Ladies and gentlemen,Today, I stand before you to share some words of inspiration from a famous personality who has touched our lives in one way or another. This speech aims to encourage and motivate each one of us to pursue our dreams, face challenges head-on, and never give up.As we delve into the life and wisdom of this remarkable individual,let's take a moment to reflect on their journey and the lessons we can learn from it.Introduction:The person I am referring to is none other than Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a renowned civil rights leader, activist, and orator. His "I Have a Dream" speech delivered on August 28, 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., remains one of the most iconic speeches in American history. Dr. King's vision of a world where people are judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character has inspired generations to fight for equality, justice, and peace.Body:1. Embrace your purpose:Dr. King once said, "If you can't fly, then run; if you can't run, then walk; if you can't walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward." This quote serves as a powerful reminder that each one of us has a unique purpose in life. It is essential to identify our calling and pursue it with passion and determination. By embracing our purpose, we can make a positive impact on the world and inspire others to do the same.2. Believe in yourself:In his speech, Dr. King emphasized the importance of self-belief, stating, "If you believe in yourself and have the courage to follow your dreams, there is nothing you cannot achieve." This message is crucialfor all of us. We must believe in our abilities, even when others doubt us. Confidence in oneself is the foundation upon which success is built.By trusting in our potential, we can overcome obstacles and achieve our goals.3. Overcome adversity:Dr. King faced numerous challenges throughout his life, including discrimination, violence, and setbacks. However, he never succumbed to despair. Instead, he chose to fight for justice and equality, even in the face of adversity. His resilience serves as an inspiration for us to face our own struggles with courage and determination. Remember, every obstacle we overcome makes us stronger and more capable of achieving our dreams.4. Dream big:Dr. King was a visionary who dared to dream of a better world. He once said, "Always aim for the best, never settle for less." This quote encourages us to dream big and set ambitious goals. By reaching for the stars, we can inspire others to dream along with us. Remember, our dreams are the fuel that drives us to succeed and make a difference in the world.5. Unity and compassion:Dr. King believed in the power of unity and compassion. He once said, "We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools." This message is as relevant today as it was during his time. It is essential to foster a sense of community, empathy, and understanding among us. By working together and supporting one another, we can create a more just and harmonious world.Conclusion:In conclusion, the wisdom and inspiration found in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s words can guide us through life's challenges and help us achieve our dreams. By embracing our purpose, believing in ourselves, overcoming adversity, dreaming big, and fostering unity and compassion, we can make a positive impact on the world.Ladies and gentlemen, let us remember the legacy of Dr. King and strive to be the change we wish to see in the world. Together, we can create a brighter future for all.Thank you.。

名人励志英文演讲稿1Ladies and GentlemenI m only going to talk to you just for a minute or so this evening because I have some -- some very sad news for all of you -- Could you lower those signs please -- I have some very sad news for all of you and I think sad news for all of our fellow citizens and people who love peace all over the world; and that is that Martin Luther King was shot and was killed tonight in Memphis Tennessee.Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice between fellow human beings. He died in the cause of that effort. In this difficult day in this difficult time for the United States it s perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. For those of you who are black -- considering the evidence evidently is that there were white people who were responsible -- you can be filled with bitterness and with hatred and a desire for revenge.We can move in that direction as a country in greater polarization -- black people amongst blacks and white amongst whites filled with hatred toward one another. Or we can make an effort as Martin Luther King did to understand and to comprehend and replace that violence that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land with aneffort to understand compassion and love.For those of you who are black and are tempted to fill with -- befilled with hatred and mistrust of the injustice of such an act against all white people I would only say that I can also feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling. I had a member of my familykilled but he was killed by a white man.But we have to make an effort in the United States. We have to make an effort to understand to get beyond or go beyond these rather difficult times.My favorite poem my -- my favorite poet was Aeschylus. And he once wrote:Even in our sleep pain which cannot forgetfalls drop by drop upon the heartuntil in our own despairagainst our willcomes wisdomthrough the awful grace of God.What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness but is love and wisdom and compassion toward one another and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country whether they be white or whether they be black.So I ask you tonight to return home to say a prayer for the family of Martin Luther King -- yeah it s true -- but more importantly to say a prayer for our own country which all of us love -- a prayer for understanding and that compassion of which I spoke.We can do well in this country. We will have difficult times. We ve had difficult times in the past but we -- and we will have difficult times in the future. It is not the end of violence; it is not the endof lawlessness; and it s not the end of disorder.But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this country want to live together want to improve the quality of our life and want justice for all human beings that abide in our land.And let s dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world. Let us dedicate ourselves to that and say a prayer for our country and for our people.Thank you very much.名人励志英文演讲稿2Ladies and Gentlemen I d planned to speak to you tonight to report on the state of the union but the events of earlier today have led me to change those plans. Today is a day for mourning and remembering. Nancy and I are pained to the core by the tragedy of the shuttle Challenger. We know we share this pain with all of the people of our country. This is truly a national loss.Nineteen years ago almost to the day we lost three astronauts in a terrible accident on the ground. But we ve never lost an astronaut in flight. We ve never had a tragedy like this.And perhaps we ve forgotten the courage it took for the crew of the shuttle. But they the Challenger Seven were aware of the dangers but overcame them and did their jobs brilliantly. We mourn seven heroes: Michael Smith Dick Scobee Judith Resnik Ronald McNair Ellison Onizuka Gregory Jarvis and Christa McAuliffe.We mourn their loss as a nation together.For the families of the seven we cannot bear as you do the full impact of this tragedy. But we feel the loss and we re thinking aboutyou so very much. Your loved ones were daring and brave and they had that special grace that special spirit that says Give me a challenge and I ll meet it with joy. They had a hunger to explore the universe and discover its truths. They wished to serve and they did. They served all of us.We ve grown used to wonders in this century. It s hard to dazzle us. But for twenty-five years the United States space program has been doing just that. We ve grown used to the idea of space and perhaps we forget that we ve only just begun. We re still pioneers. They the members of the Challenger crew were pioneers.And I want to say something to the schoolchildren of America who were watching the live coverage of the shuttle s take-off. I know it s hard to understand but sometimes painful things like this happen.It s all part of the process of exploration and discovery. It s all part of taking a chance and expanding man s horizons. The future doesn t belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave. The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future and we ll continue to follow them.I ve always had great faith in and respect for our space program. And what happened today does nothing to diminish it. We don t hide our space program. We don t keep secrets and cover things up. We doit all up front and in public. That s the way freedom is and we wouldn t change it for a minute.We ll continue our quest in space. There will be more shuttleflights and more shuttle crews and yes more volunteers more civilians more teachers in space. Nothing ends here; our hopes and our journeys continue.I want to add that I wish I could talk to every man and woman whoworks for NASA or who worked on this mission and tell them: Your dedication and professionalism have moved and impressed us for decades. And we know of your anguish. We share it.There s a coincidence today. On this day three hundred and ninety years ago the great explorer Sir Francis Drake died aboard ship off the coast of Panama. In his lifetime the great frontiers were the oceans and a historian later said He lived by the sea died on it and was buried in it. Well today we can say of the Challenger crew: Their dedication was like Drake s complete.The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the mannerin which they lived their lives. We will never forget them nor the last time we saw them this morning as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God.Thank you.名人励志英文演讲稿3Someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. I don’t know who wrote these words, but I’ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. We are all in the position of the farmers. If we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.We are young. “How to spend the youth” It is a meaningful question. To answ er it, first I have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth” Youth is not a time of life, it’s a state of mind. It’s not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees. It’s the matter of the will. It’s the freshness of the deep spring of life.A poet said “To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. Several days ago, I had a chance to listen to a lecture. I learnt a lot there. I’d like to share it with all of you. Let’s show our right palms. We can see threelines that show how our love.career and life is. I have a shortline of life. What about yours I wondered whether we could see our future in this way. Well, let’s make a fist. Where is our future Where is our love, career, and life Tell me.Yeah, it is in our hands. It is held in ourselves.We all want the future to be better than the past. But the future can go better itself. Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened. From the past, w e’ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. We’ve learnt that we can’t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. Failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it,it does mean you should do it in a different way. Failure doesn’t mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder.As what I said at the beginning, “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. The past has gone. Nothing we do will change it. But the future is in front of us. Believe that what we give to the world, the world will give to us. And from today on, let’s be the owners of ourselves, and speak out “We are the world, we are the future.”名人励志英文演讲稿4Youth is not a time of life,it is a state of mind;it is not rosy cheeks,red lips and supple knees,it is a matter of the emotions:it is the freshness;it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidityof the appetite,for adventure over the love of ease.this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.we grow old by deserting our ideals.Years wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.Worry,fear,self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.Whether 60 of 16,there is in every human beings heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what s next and the joy of the game of living .In the center of your heart and my heart there s a wireless station:so long as it receives messages ofbeauty,hope,cheer,courage and power from men and from the infinite,so long as you are young.When the aerials are down,and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism,then you are grown old,even at20,but as long as your aerials are up,to catch waves ofoptimism,there is hope you may die young at 80.Thank you!名人励志英文演讲稿5Saying goodbye to childhood,we step into another important time in the pace of young,facing new situations,dealing with different problems……everyone has his ownunderstanding of young,it is a period of time of beauty and wonders,only after you have experienced thesour ,sweet ,bitter and salty can you really become a person of significance.thre time of young is limitted,it may pass by without your attention,and when you discover what has happened ,it is always too late.grasping the young well means a better time is waiting for youin the near future,or the situation may be opposite .having a view on these great men in the history of hunmanbeing,they all made full use of their youth time ,to do things that are useful to society,to the whole mankind,and as a cosquence ,they are remembered by later generations,admired by everyone.so do somethingin the time of young,although you may not get achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole word,just for youeself,for those around!the young is just like blooming flowers,they are so beautiful when blooming,they make people feel happy,but with time passing by,after they withers ,moet people think they are ugly.and so it is the same with young,we are enthusiastic when we are young,then we may lose our passion when getting older and older.so we must treasure it ,don t let the limitted time passby ,leaving nothing of significance.名人励志英文演讲稿。
名人励志演讲稿英文版
Ladies and Gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon/evening. It is a great honor to stand before you today and share some thoughts on the power of perseverance. As we all know, life is a journey filled with ups and downs, challenges, and triumphs. It is in the face of adversity that we discover our true strength and character. Today, I want to talk about the stories of some remarkable individuals who have inspired millions with their unwavering determination and resilience. Let us embark on this journey ofinspiration and learn from their experiences.First and foremost, let us remember the words of Thomas Edison, a man who revolutionized the world with his inventions. Edison once said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Thisquote encapsulates the essence of perseverance. Throughout his life, Edison faced countless failures and setbacks, but he never gave up. He was relentless in his pursuit of knowledge and innovation. Today, we enjoy the benefits of his inventions, from the light bulb to the phonograph. Edison's story teaches us that success is not measured bythe number of failures we encounter, but by the courage to keep trying.Another inspiring figure is Helen Keller, a woman who overcame the adversity of being deaf and blind to become an influential author, lecturer, and activist. Helen's journey began at the age of 19 months when she contracted an illness that left her without the ability to see or hear. Despite her disabilities, she never allowed them to define her. With the help of her teacher, Anne Sullivan, Helen learned to communicate through sign language and later learned to speak. Her determination to overcome her limitations and make a difference in the world is an example for us all. Helen Keller once said, "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all." This quote reminds us that we must embrace our challenges and turn them into opportunities for growth.Martin Luther King Jr., the leader of the American civil rights movement, is another remarkable individual who demonstrated the power of perseverance. In his famous "I Have a Dream" speech, King envisioned a world where people would be judged by their character rather than the color of their skin. However, achieving this dream was not an easy task.King faced discrimination, violence, and imprisonment, but he never wavered in his commitment to justice and equality. His unwavering perseverance led to significant advancements in the civil rights movement. King's legacy teaches us that the fight for a just and equitable society is a long-term endeavor that requires persistence and courage.Let us also look at the story of J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series. Rowling's life took an unexpected turn when her marriage ended, leaving her a single mother struggling to make ends meet. During this difficult period, she began writing the first book in the Harry Potter series. Despite the many rejections she faced from publishers, Rowling refused to give up. She continued to write and revise her manuscript, eventually finding a publisher who believed in her vision. The Harry Potter series became a global phenomenon, inspiring millionsof readers and bringing joy to countless lives. Rowling's story reminds us that success is often born from perseverance and the belief in one's dreams.In the world of sports, we can find countless examples of perseverance and determination. One such example is Serena Williams, a tennis legend who has broken barriers and shattered records throughout her career. Williams has faced numerous injuries and adversities, but she has always pushed herself to overcome these challenges. Her resilience and dedication have earned her numerous Grand Slam titles and a place in the hearts of fans around the world. Serena Williams once said, "You cannot win if you are afraid of losing." This quote emphasizes the importanceof embracing risks and facing our fears head-on.As we reflect on the lives of these remarkable individuals, we must ask ourselves: What drives us to persevere in the face of adversity? What keeps us going when everything seems to be working against us? The answer lies within us. It is our inner strength, our belief in ourselves, and our unwavering determination to achieve our goals.Ladies and Gentlemen,Perseverance is not just about pushing through pain or enduring suffering. It is about finding the courage to face our fears, the strength to overcome obstacles, and the resilience to bounce back from failure. It is about believing in ourselves and our dreams, and never giving up on the pursuit of our passions.As you go about your lives, remember the stories of these inspiring individuals. Let their experiences fuel your own determination and inspire you to pursue your dreams with unwavering passion.

名人励志3分钟演讲稿英文版（通用3篇）名人励志3分钟演讲稿英文版篇1Someone said "we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite'. I dont know who wrote these words, but Ive always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. We are all in the position of the farmers. If we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.We are young. "How to spend the youth?' It is a meaningful question. To answer it, first I have to ask "what do you understand by the word youth?' Youth is not a time of life, its a state of mind. Its not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees. Its the matter of the will. Its the freshness of the deep spring of life.A poet said "To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. Several days ago, I had a chance to listen to a lecture. I learnt a lot there. Id like to share it with all of you. Lets show our right palms. We can see threelines that show how our love.career and life is. I have a short line of life. What about yours? I wondered whether we could see our future in this way. Well, lets make a fist. Where is our future? Where is our love, career, and life? Tell me.Yeah, it is in our hands. It is held in ourselves.We all want the future to be better than the past. But the future can go better itself. Dont cry because it is over, smile because it happened. From the past, weve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. Weve learnt that we cant choose how we feel, but we canchoose what about it. Failure doesnt mean you dont have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way. Failure doesnt mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder.As what I said at the beginning, "we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite'. The past has gone. Nothing we do will change it. But the future is in front of us. Believe that what we give to the world, the world will give to us. And from today on, lets be the owners of ourselves, and speak out "We are the world, we are the future.'名人励志3分钟演讲稿英文版篇2我是被绑架来的，由于这并不在这次我南昌方案中，前天晚上易建东教授恳请我替同学加这一站，不仅仅我们是非常好的伴侣，财大这个位置蛮特别的，我6点05的飞机要飞，他强调这离机场非常接近。
世界名人励志英文演讲稿
Ladies and gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon/evening. It is a great honor to stand before you today and share my thoughts on the power of determination and perseverance. As we all know, life is full of challenges, and it is how we respond to these challenges that defines our character and determines our success. In this speech, I would like to introduce you to someworld-famous individuals who have overcome significant obstacles to achieve their dreams, and learn from their experiences to inspire us to persevere in the face of adversity.Firstly, let's talk about Thomas Edison, the famous inventor of thelight bulb. When Edison was a child, he was not a good student. He was often bullied by his classmates, and his teachers thought he was not intelligent enough. However, Edison did not let these challenges discourage him. Instead, he focused on his passion for science and technology, and eventually became the most influential inventor in history. His determination and perseverance led him to create more than 1,000 patents and revolutionize the world we live in today.Another great example is J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series. Rowling faced many difficulties in her life. She was diagnosed with depression and had to struggle with financial problems. Despite these challenges, she never gave up on her dream of becoming a writer. She spent years writing the first Harry Potter book in a small train compartment, and eventually, her hard work paid off. The Harry Potter series has become a global phenomenon, and Rowling has become one of the most successful authors in history.Let's also consider the story of Nelson Mandela, the first black president of South Africa. Mandela spent 27 years in prison for hisfight against apartheid. During his imprisonment, he faced physical and psychological abuse, but he never lost his faith in the justice of his cause. His determination and perseverance eventually led to the end of apartheid and the establishment of a democratic South Africa. Mandela's life serves as a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, we can find the strength to fight for what we believe in.These examples show us that determination and perseverance are the keys to success. However, it is essential to understand the factors that contribute to these qualities. Here are some tips to help you cultivate determination and perseverance in your own life:1. Set clear goals: Define what you want to achieve, and break it down into smaller, manageable tasks. This will help you stay focused and motivated.2. Develop a growth mindset: Embrace challenges as opportunities tolearn and grow. Instead of seeing failure as a defeat, view it as a stepping stone to success.3. Build resilience: Learn from your failures and use them as a sourceof strength. Resilience will help you bounce back from setbacks and continue moving forward.4. Surround yourself with supportive people: Seek out friends, family, and mentors who will encourage and inspire you. Having a strong support system can make a significant difference in your journey.5. Stay committed to your values: Remember what is most important to you and let it guide your actions. This will help you stay true to yourgoals and maintain your determination.In conclusion, determination and perseverance are the forces that drive us to overcome obstacles and achieve our dreams. By learning from the experiences of world-famous individuals like Thomas Edison, J.K. Rowling, and Nelson Mandela, we can gain insight into the qualities that make them successful. As we embark on our own paths to success, let us remember to stay focused, embrace challenges, and never give up. With determination and perseverance, we can achieve greatness.Thank you for your attention, and may you find the strength to pursue your dreams with unwavering determination and perseverance.。

最新名人励志英文演讲稿5篇名人励志英文演讲稿精选篇1Humanism is like a rock.It smashes a mask. A mask we human being are weaving with modern technologies. A mask we are wearing to disguise our own ugliness. A mask we are justreluctant to shed. Humanism mashes that mask, reveals the real face that people have tried so hard to hide, greed of the condor, arrogance of the peacock,gluttony of the locust and envy of the snake.In a technologically advanced world, all those tremendously fabulous achievements of modern technology blind us from those unkind and evil. They make us believe we are prefect. People seldom care about the workers being contaminated by the chemical reagent used for the screen in our cellphone, simply because the touch screen phone is stylish. People seldom care about seagulls and turtles, becausedrilling a hole in the middle of the ocean and pumping out petroleum makes money. People seldom care about bears, because slice their abdomen and drainage the bile is now said to be painless and profitable. These are all thanks to modern technologies.However, humanism concerns about the human and our connections with the nature. When our mask was crushedinto dust, however repugnant we are, we have now realized with no confusion of beaming technologies how little we are concerned about others and other creatures’ lives.Technology is the mask that conceals the evil and unkindness of us human beings. Humanism shatters us into a thousand pieces, pointing out our limitations and shortcomings.Humanism is like piles of rocks.It does not only smash our masks, but also build up a way to a better future. Einstein once said “it is more important to find a problem than to solve one”. Our technologies may have being continuously advancing over the last few centuries because we always find limitations and defects about them. Forced to see our own limitations, we shall not be disappointed butfilled with vigor. Though it is painful and shameful to let humanism unmask us, we shall felicitate ourselves on finding the way ahead, the problem unsolved, and the key dusted. A defect might be a blessing in disguise.We may not be flawless, but at least we know where to improve and amend. We may be imperfect, but that doesn’t diminish our confidence to live and descend.We have books discussing about humanism in a technologically advanced world. In her book Silent Spring, Rachel Carson points out people’s greed for profit makes them giving up the respect for nature,applying all those germicide and pesticide. In the book Reverence for Life, Albert Schweitzer raises the connection that humanism as part of our ethical standard.Besides books, there are people talking about humanism in a technologically advanced world. Mother Teresatold us “People have given science too much love. Now it is time for a little science for love”. And we gathered here discussing this heated issue. This particular question is being raised by an ever increasing number of people. Even if there are saying that man can never get rid of pride and arrogance, it has already made a difference to understand and amend.Humanism is exactly the same thing as smashing our mask, exposing our defect, humiliating us and building up our way ahead.In a technologically advanced world, it is never wrong to cherish technologies and science. But it is wrong to cache our shortcomings under the cover of advanced technologies and its achievements. It is wrong to put our faith in technology rather than us, humans.Humanism reveals the darkness backward and lights up the road forward. This is the role of humanism in a technologically advanced world. This is how we will survive a technologically advanced world, with Humanism the Rock名人励志英文演讲稿精选篇2hello! ladies and gentlemen, it is so nice to meetyou !i am gladthat you can spend this precious time having this class in thisafternoon.now please allow me to introduce myself to you .my name is wangjia and imajored in trafficengineering .baoji is my hometown it is verybeautiful. and the people are very friendly.as we all knowen thingking is easy acting is difficult and to putone's thoughts into actions is the most difficult thing in the world.so if we want to learn english well ,we must practice reading englisheveryday ,acturally practicing repeatly is the best way to succeed.whenyou speak ,don't care how poorly or how well you speak just care aboutcatching the chance to speak ,enjoy losing face or just forget your facebecause the more you speak the better your english will become,neverafraid ofmaking mistakes because the more mistakes you make the more progress you will make.as a man living in theworld ,we must try our best to makeeach day our masterpiece and don't let our parents down ,don't ever letour country down ,most importantly don't letourself down.yesterday is a memory tommorrow is a dream so live for todayjust do it right now.i believe if you can dream it you can make it ,ifyou do you will win if you don't you won't.believe in youself trustyouself try your best. don't give up ,never give in, never losehope ,never say impossible .the success is coming ! thank you !名人励志英文演讲稿精选篇3so if we want to learn english well ,we must practice reading englisheveryday ,acturally practicing repeatly is the best way to succeed.whenyou speak ,don't care how poorly or how well you speak just care aboutcatching the chance to speak……hello! ladies and gentlemen, it is so nice to meetyou !i am gladthat you can spend this precious time having this class in thisafternoon.now please allow me to introduce myself to you .my name is wangjia and imajored in trafficengineering .baoji is my hometown it is verybeautiful. and the people are very friendly.as we all knowen thingking is easy acting is difficult and to putone's thoughts into actions is the most difficult thing in the world.so if we want to learn english well ,we must practice reading englisheveryday ,acturally practicing repeatly is the best way to succeed.whenyou speak ,don't care how poorly or how well you speak just care aboutcatching the chance to speak ,enjoy losing face or just forget your facebecause the more you speak the better your english will become,neverafraid ofmaking mistakes because the more mistakes you make the more progress you will make.as a man living in theworld ,we must try our best to makeeach day our masterpiece and don't let our parents down ,don't ever letour country down ,most importantly don't letourself down.yesterday is a memory tommorrow is a dream so live for todayjust do it right now.i believe if you can dreamit you can make it ,ifyou do you will win if you don't you won't.believe in youself trustyouself try your best. don't give up ,never give in, never losehope ,never say impossible .the success is coming ! thank you !名人励志英文演讲稿精选篇4i'll tell you an experience of myself happened last week. last thursday our school was tackling something about woking fou study. i wanted to have a try even though i knew the salary was so low and i had little chance,because the students who had the certificate were always thought to have priority to get the job. fortunately i was called at noon and a teacher said to me that she wanted me to work for her and asked if i could change my mind. at that moment i was so excited that immediately i accepted her idea. but later on,she found me that i'm not a student,so i had little chance and suggest me to get one. then an idea occurred to me that i could call my father and ask him to send me the letter. at the same time i was told that i was admitted to the job and don't need the certificate. that time i forgot to remind my father,until the next day he called me thathe had posted it and it wouldarrive in just one day. at that moment i was moved, and even moved into tears, because i knew my father was injured not long before,the proceof helping me with the affairs was not so convenient for him. but he tried his best to help me. sometimes we may complain about unsatisfying things around us,and blame them on our parents,sometimes they'll be angry with us, and sometimes we can't quite understand what they are thinking about. but on balance, almost every parent is selfleto his or her child. they are ready to offer everything to us when we are in bad situation. we used to sharing sorrow with them,but do not forget to share our happinewith them, perhaps they will be much happier than we are. so from now on, let's care more about our parents and do not leave pity to them.that's what i want to tell you today. thank youGood morning, ladies and gentlemen, I’m very glad to make a speech here. Today my topic is “I love you, China.”Since the day I was born, I began to have a proud name—Chinese. Since the day I began to talk, the most beautiful sentence I’ve ever learnt has been “I love you, China!”I love you, China, and I’m so proud of being a Chinese. I’m proud that I’ve got the beautiful yellow skin, black eyes and black hair. I’m also proud that I speak the most beautiful language in the world—Chinese.I love you, China, for I can feel the deep love you give me every day, every minute. Last year, I got an opportunity to visit the United States of America. During my staying there, my father’s boonce invited my family to dinner. While at , he looked at me and asked: “Little boy, how long have you been in America?” “About a month,” I answered, “How lucky you are!” he said, “If you were living in China, how could you learn such perfect English?” I smiled and told him proudly that all the students in China are able to learn English at school. I saw his surprised eyes and said to myself, “I’m proud of you, China ”名人励志英文演讲稿精选篇5Needleto say, money is not very important, but very very important.If there is no money, I can’t use this microphone t o speak to you and we can’t have such a room to hold such a competition. Without money, we can’t study in such a schoolyard. Without money, we can’t live in such a hometown. Without money, we can’t have such a motherland. On the other hand, If there is no money, you don’t need to bear my speech about money now.Most of us have dreams about the future, dreams of having a good job and ma-ki-ng much money. Surely someone has thought at times “If only I had a lot of money, I could be the happiest person in the world.” In fact it’s the main mistake that people make about money.However, is money the road to happiness? Not really! Many people work every day, work overtime, work weekends to make a lot of money. Are they happy? No. They are too busy ma-ki-ng money. Meanwhile, their personal lives, if they have any, fall apart. They have no time to form or to maintain friendship. They even lose the abilities to relax and to enjoy themselves. Enjoying means taking things, taking time to see, to hear, to taste, to smell, to feel. They do not take time to do this. They say: “I’ll do it when I have enough money to retire” then they find that it is too late.Why we usually make such a mistake and even more mistakes? Activists say it is because of money itself. They think money has changed many things. For example, they think money has changed our way to measure someone’s value in the society. They even regard money as the source of evil. Also, they hate money,but they are wrong, completely wrong.In my opinion, it is unfair to money. Money is a tool. Well, there’s no denying that we do something harmful with money. But we can’t say money is the source of evil. Just like a hammer, we can use a hammer to kill someone, but can we say a hammer is a devil? It is the same with money.Money is neither good nor bad itself. It is a mirror, a perfect and important mirror, and a mirror that reflects both the darkneand the brilliance of humanity. In other words, all depend on us.So, my fellow students, ladies and gentlemen in the future, ask not what we can do for money, ask what money can do for us, ask what money can do to show the brilliance of humanity. Because, we have the future; we are the future。

Ladies and Gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon/evening. It is an honor to stand before you today at this prestigious institution, [Name of School]. I am deeply humbledby the opportunity to share my thoughts and experiences with such a distinguished group of students, faculty, and alumni.Today, I want to talk about the power of dreams and the path to excellence. As we gather here in this hallowed ground, we are remindedof the legacy of this great institution, its commitment to knowledge,and its role in shaping the future of society. It is a place where dreams are nurtured, and excellence is not just an expectation, but a way of life.First, let me share a story with you. There once was a young man named Thomas Edison. He was born in 1847 in Milan, Ohio. As a child, he showed an incredible curiosity about the world around him. He was always asking questions and seeking answers. However, his formal education was limited, and he was often considered a slow learner.Despite these challenges, Edison never let his dreams be diminished. He believed in the power of innovation and the importance of perseverance. He once said, "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." This quote encapsulates the essence of his philosophy and the foundation upon which he built his success.Edison's dreams led him to invent the light bulb, the phonograph, the mimeograph, and countless other inventions that changed the course of history. He failed many times, but he never gave up. His story teachesus that dreams are the seeds of our future, and it is our unwavering determination that will help us nurture them into reality.Now, let us talk about the path to excellence. Excellence is not a destination; it is a journey. It is about pushing the boundaries of our capabilities and constantly seeking to improve. It is about embracing challenges, learning from our mistakes, and never settling for mediocrity.In this journey, we find guidance in the words of another great mind, Nelson Mandela. He once said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." Here at [Name of School], you have the opportunity to arm yourselves with this powerful weapon. You have the chance to learn from the best minds in the world, to engage in rigorous discussions, and to explore the depths of your intellectual potential.As you embark on this journey, remember that excellence is not about perfection. It is about doing your best, regardless of the outcome. Itis about striving for excellence in all aspects of your life—academically, personally, and professionally.Here are some key principles that will help you on your path to excellence:1. Set Clear Goals: Define what you want to achieve and create a roadmap to get there. Remember, a goal without a plan is just a wish.2. Embrace Failure: Understand that failure is not the end, but a stepping stone to success. Learn from your mistakes and use them as a catalyst for growth.3. Develop Discipline: Establish routines and habits that will help you stay focused and productive. Remember, discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.4. Cultivate Resilience: Face adversity with courage and determination. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from setbacks and continue moving forward.5. Surround Yourself with Mentors: Seek guidance from individuals who have achieved excellence in their fields. Learn from their experiences and wisdom.6. Maintain Balance: Prioritize your health, relationships, and personal well-being. Remember, a balanced life leads to a more fulfilling journey.As you pursue excellence, never lose sight of your dreams. Dreams are the spark that ignites our passion and drives us to achieve greatness.They are the guiding stars that light our path when the darkness of doubt and uncertainty creeps in.In the words of Walt Disney, "All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them." At [Name of School], you have the courage, the knowledge, and the resources to pursue your dreams. Embrace them, nurture them, and let them guide you on your path to excellence.Remember, excellence is not just about personal achievement. It is about making a positive impact on the world. It is about using your talents and knowledge to create a better future for yourself and for others.In closing, I want to leave you with a final thought. The world is full of opportunities, and the path to excellence is paved with dreams. So, dream big, work hard, and never lose sight of your goals. The future is yours to create, and the possibilities are endless.Thank you, and may your journey be filled with success, joy, and fulfillment.God bless [Name of School], and God bless each and every one of you.。

名人英语励志演讲稿(精选多篇)第一篇：名人名校励志英语演讲稿dare to compete, dare to care 敢于竞争，勇于关爱---美国国务卿希拉里·克林顿耶鲁大学演讲dare to compete. dare to care. dare to dream. dare to love. practice the art of making possible. and no matter what happens, even if you hear shouts behind, keep going. 要敢于竞争，敢于关爱，敢于憧憬，大胆去爱！要努力创造奇迹！无论发生什么，即使有人在你背后大声喊叫，也要勇往直前。
------------------------------------it is such an honor and pleasure for me to be back at yale, especially on the occasion of the 300th anniversary. i have had so many memories of my time here, and as nick was speaking i thought about how i ended up at yale law school. and it tells a little bit about how much progress we’ve made.what i think most about when i think of yale is not just the politically charged atmosphere and not even just the superb legal education that i received. it was at yale that i began work that has been at the core of what i have cared about ever since. i began working with new haven legal services representing children. and i studied child development, abuse and neglect at the yale new haven hospital and the child study center. i was lucky enough to receive a civil rights internship with marian wrightedelman at the children’s defense fund, where i went to work after i graduated. those experiences fueled in me a passion to work for the benefit of children, particularly the most vulnerable.now, looking back, there is no way that i could have predicted what path my life would have taken. i didn’t sit around the law school, saying, well, you know, i think i’ll graduate and then i’ll go to work at the children’s defense fund, and then the impeachment inquiry, and nixon retired or resigns, i’ll go to arkansas. i didn’t think like that. i was taking each day at a time.but, i’ve been very fortunate because i’ve always had an idea in my mind about what i thought was important and what gave my life meaning and purpose. a set of values and beliefs that have helped me navigate the shoals, the sometimes very treacherous sea, to illuminate my own true desires, despite that others say about what l should care about and believe in. a passion to succeed at what l thought was important and children have always provided that lone star, that guiding light. because l have that absolute conviction that every child, especially in this, the most blessed of nations that has ever existed on the face of earth, that every child deserves the opportunity to live up to his or her god-given potential.but you know that belief and conviction-it may make for a personal mission statement, but standing alone, not translated into action, it means very little to anyone else, particularly to those for whom you have thoseconcerns.when i was thinking about running for the united states senate-which was such an enormous decision to make, one i never could have dreamed that i would have been making when i washere on campus-i visited a school in new york city and i met a young woman, who was a star athlete.i was there because of billy jean king promoting an hbo special about women in sports called “dare to compete.” it was about title ix and how we finally, thanks to government action, provided opportunities to girls and women in sports.and although i played not very well at intramural sports, i have always been a strong supporter of women in sports. and i was introduced by this young woman, and as i went to shake her hand she obviously had been reading the newspapers about people saying i should or shouldn’t run for the senate. and i was congratulating her on the speech she had just made and she held on to my hand and she said, “dare to compete, mrs. clinton. dare to compete.”i took that to heart because it is hard to compete sometimes, especially in public ways, when your failures are there for everyone to see and you don’t know what is going to happen from one day to the next. and yet so much of life, whether we like to accept it or not, is competing with ourselves to be the best we can be, being involved in classes orprofessions or just life, where we know we are competing with others.i took her advice and i did compete because i chose to do so. and the biggest choices that you’ll face in your life will be yours alone to make. i’m sure you’ll receive good advice. you’re got a great education to go back and reflect about what is right for you, but you eventually will have to choose and i hope that you will dare to compete. and by that i don’t mean the kind of cutthroat competition that is too often characterized by what is driving america today. i mean the small voice inside you that says to you, you can do it, you can take this risk, you can take this next step. and it doesn’t mean that once having made that choice you will always succeed. in fact, you won’t. there are setbacks and you will experience difficult disappointments. you will be slowed down and sometimes the breath will just be knocked out of you. but if you carry with you the values and beliefs that you can make a difference in your own life, first and foremost, and then in the lives of others. you can get back up, you can keep going.but it is also important, as i have found, not to take yourself too seriously, because after all, every one of us here today, none of us is deserving of full credit. i think every day of the blessings my birth gave me without any doing of my own. i chose neither my family nor my country, but they as much as anything i’ve ever done, determined my course.you compare my or your circumstances with those of the majority ofpeople who’ve ever lived or who are living right now, they too often are born knowing too well what their futures will be. they lack the freedom to choose their life’s path. they’re imprisoned by circumstances of poverty and ignorance, bigotry, disease, hunger, oppression and war.so, dare to compete, yes, but maybe even more difficult, dare to care. dare to care about people who need our help to succeed and fulfill their own lives. there are so many out there andsometimes all it takes is the simplest of gestures or helping hands and many of you understand that already. i know that the numbers of graduates in the last 20 years have worked in community organizations, have tutored, have committed themselves to religious activities.you have been there trying to serve because you have believed both that it was the right thing to do and because it gave something back to you. you have dared to care.well, dare to care to fight for equal justice for all, for equal pay for women, against hate crimes and bigotry. dare to care about public schools without qualified teachers or adequate resources. dare to care about protecting our environment. dare to care about the 10 million children in our country who lack health insurance. dare to care about the one and a half million children who have a parent in jail. the seven million people who suffer from hiv/aids. and thank you for caring enough to demand that our nation do more to help those that are suffering throughout this worldwith hiv/aids, to prevent this pandemic from spreading even further.and i’ll also add, dare enough to care about our political process. you know, as i go and speak with students i’m impressed so much, not only in formal settings, on campuses, but with my daughter and her friends, about how much you care, about how willing you are to volunteer and serve. you may have missed the last wave of the revolution, but you’ve understood that the munity revolution is there for you every single day. and you’ve been willing to be part of remarking lives in our community.and yet, there is a real resistance, a turning away from the political process. i hope that some of you will be public servants and will even run for office yourself, not to win a position to make and impression on your friends at your 20th reunion, but because you understand how important it is for each of us as citizens to make a commitment to our democracy. your generation, the first one born after the social upheavals of the 60’s and 70’s, in the midst of the technological advances of the 80’s and 90’s, are inheriting an economy, a society and a government that has yet to understand fully, or even come to grips with, our rapidly changing world. and so bring your values and experiences and insights into politics. dare to help make, not just a difference in politics, but create a different politics. some have called you the generation of choice. you’ve been raised with multiple choice tests, multiple channels, multiple websitesand multiple lifestyles. you’ve grown up choosing among alternatives that were either not imagined, created or available to people in prior generations.you’ve been invested with far more personal power to customize your life, to make more free choices about how to live than was ever thought possible. and i think as i look at all the surveys and research that is done, your choices reflect not only freedom, but personal responsibility.the social indicators, not the headlines, the social indicators tell a positive story: drug use and cheating and arrests being down, been pregnancy and suicides, drunk driving deaths being down.community service and religious involvement being up. but if you look at the area of voting among 18 to 29 year olds, the numbers tell a far more troubling tale. many of you i know believe that service and community volunteerism is a better way of solving the issues facing our country than political engagement, because you believe-choose one of the following multiples or choose them all-government either can’t understand or won’t make the right choices because of political pressures, inefficiency, incompetence or big money influence.well, i admit there is enough truth in that critique to justify feeling disconnected and alienated. but at bottom, that’s a personal cop-out and a national peril. political conditions maximize the conditions for individual opportunity and responsibility as well as community. americorps and thepeace corps exist because of political decisions. our air, water, land and food will be clean and safe because of political choices. our ability to cure disease or log onto the internet have been advanced because of politically determined investments. ethnic cleansing in kosovo ended because of political leadership. your parents and grandparents traveled here by means of government built and subsidized transportation systems. many used gi bills or government loans, as i did, to attend college.now, i could, as you might guess, go on and on, but the point is to remind us all that government is us and each generation has to stake its claim. and, as stakeholders, you will have to decide whether or not to make the choice to participate. it is hard and it is, bringing change in a democracy, particularly now. there’s so much about our modern times that conspire to lower our sights, to weaken our vision-as individuals and communities and even nations.it is not the vast conspiracy you may have heard about; rather it’s a silent conspiracy of cynicism and indifference and alienation that we see every day, in our popular culture and in our prodigious consumerism.but as many have said before and as vaclav havel has said to memorably, “it cannot suffice just to invent new machines, new regulations and new institutions. it is necessary to understand differently and more perfectly the true purpose of our existence on this earth and of our deeds.” and i think we are called on to reject, in this time of blessings that we enjoy,those who will tear us apart and tear us down and instead to liberate our god-given spirit, by being willing to dare to dream of a better world. during my campaign, when times were tough and days were long i used to think about the example of harriet tubman, a heroic new yorker, a 19th century moses, who risked her life to bring hundreds of slaves to freedom. she would say to those who she gathered up in the south where she kept going back year after year from the safety of auburn, new york, that no matter what happens, they had to keep going. if they heard shouts behind them, they had to keep going. if they heard gunfire or dogs, they had to keep going to freedom. well, those aren’t the risks we face. it is more the silence and apathy and indifference that dogs our heels.thirty-two years ago, i spoke at my own graduation from wellesley, where i did call on my fellow classmates to reject the notion of limitations on our ability to effect change and instead toembrace the idea that the goal of education should be human liberation and the freedom to practice with all the skill of our being the art of making possible.for after all, our fate is to be free. to choose competition over apathy, caring over indifference, vision over myopia, and love over hate.just as this is a special time in your lives, it is for me as well because my daughter will be graduating in four weeks, graduating also from a wonderful place with a great education and beginning a new life. and as ithink about all the parents and grandparents who are out there, i have a sense of what their feeling. their hearts are leaping with joy, but it’s hard to keep tears in check because the presence of our children at a time and place such as this is really a fulfillment of our own american dreams. well, i applaud you and all of your love, commitment and hard work, just as i applaud your daughters and sons for theirs.and i leave these graduates with the same message i hope to leave with my graduate. dare to compete. dare to care. dare to dream. dare to love. practice the art of making possible. and no matter what happens, even if you hear shouts behind, keep going.thank you and god bless you all.第二篇：英语名人名言励志篇(请帮助宣传好范文网)英语名人名言1.all for one, one for all.人人为我，我为人人。
名人精彩励志演讲稿英文
Ladies and Gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon/evening. It is my great honor to stand before you today and share some thoughts that have shaped my life and, I hope, will inspire you as well. I am [Your Name], and I have been blessed with the opportunity to achieve a few things in my life that many would consider remarkable. Today, I want to talk about the power of determination and how it has been the driving force behind my journey.First, let me start by acknowledging that we are all here for different reasons. Some of you may be facing challenges that seem insurmountable, while others may be celebrating successes that have come after years of hard work. Regardless of where you stand in life, one thing is certain: determination is the key to unlocking your true potential.The Foundation of DeterminationDetermination is not a skill you are born with; it is a mindset that you cultivate over time. It begins with a clear vision of what you want to achieve and a deep-seated belief that you are capable of making it happen. When I first set out on my path, I had no idea where it would lead me. But I knew that if I wanted to succeed, I had to be determined.Overcoming ObstaclesLife is full of obstacles, and it is how we respond to them that defines us. When I first entered the world of [Your Field], I faced numerous challenges. I was told that I was not good enough, that I was too young, and that I lacked the necessary experience. But instead of letting these setbacks discourage me, I chose to see them as stepping stones to greatness.One of the most difficult moments in my career was when I was turned down for a job that I had desperately wanted. I was devastated, but instead of giving up, I doubled down on my efforts. I studied harder, I sought mentorship, and I continued to push myself to be better. It was this determination that eventually led me to success.The Role of PerseverancePerseverance is the heartbeat of determination. It is the relentless pursuit of a goal, even when the path is fraught with difficulties. When you are determined, you do not allow failure to deter you. Instead, you use it as a learning opportunity to grow stronger and more resilient.Remember, every setback is a setup for a comeback. It is not about how many times you fall; it is about how many times you get back up. As I have faced adversity in my life, I have learned that perseverance is not just about grit; it is also about hope. It is about believing thatbetter days are ahead and that you have the strength to overcomeanything that stands in your way.The Power of BeliefBelief is the cornerstone of determination. Without it, determination becomes just a hollow word. When you truly believe in yourself and your abilities, you tap into a wellspring of inner strength that can propel you to heights you never thought possible.As I look back on my journey, I am reminded of the many times I had to believe in myself when others did not. It was my belief that I could succeed that kept me going when everything seemed to be working against me. And it is this belief that I want to pass on to you today.Inspiring OthersOne of the greatest joys of my life has been the opportunity to inspire others. I believe that everyone has the potential to achieve greatness, and it is my mission to help you discover that potential within yourself. When you see someone else succeed, it should not make you envious; it should ignite a fire within you to achieve your own dreams.Final ThoughtsIn conclusion, determination is not a luxury; it is a necessity. It is the fuel that propels you forward, the armor that protects you from defeat, and the beacon that guides you through the darkest nights. Asyou go forward in your life, remember these words:1. Set clear goals and visualize your success.2. Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth.3. Persevere through setbacks with hope and resilience.4. Believe in yourself and your abilities.5. Inspire others to pursue their dreams.Ladies and Gentlemen, the power of determination lies within you. It is up to you to tap into that power and make your mark on the world. Thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts with you today. May you all go forth and achieve greatness.God bless you, and may your determination light the way to a brighter future.[Your Name]。

名人励志英语演讲稿名人励志英语演讲稿（精选6篇）名人励志英语演讲稿篇1As you slowly open your eyes, look around, notice where the light comes into your room, listen carefully, see if there’s any new sounds you can recognize, feel with your body and spirit, see if you can sense the freshness in the air.Yes! Yes! YesIt’s a new day, it’s a different day and it’s a bright day.

I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people. Your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it possible for me to be here today. I therefore have placed the remaining years of my life in your , I extend my sincere and warmest gratitude to the millions of my compatriots and those in every corner of the globe who have campaigned tirelessly for my release. I extend special greetings to the people of Cape Town the city through which —which has been my home for three decades.I salute the rank?and?file members of the ANC: You have sacrificed life and limb in the pursuit of the noble cause of our , like Solomon Mahlangu and Ashley Kriel, who have paid the ultimate price for the freedom of all South Africans. I salute the South African Communist Party for its sterling contribution to the struggle for democracy. You have survived 40 years of unrelenting persecution.The memory of great communists like Moses Kotane, Yusuf Dadoo, Bram Fischer, and Moses Mabhida will be cherished for generations to come. I salute General Secretary Joe Slovo, one of our finest patriots. We are heartened by the fact that the alliancebetween ourselves and the Party remains as strong as it —it always , the National Education Crisis Committee, the South African Youth Congress, the Transvaal and Natal Indian Congresses, and COSATU and the many other formations of the Mass Democratic Movement. I also salute the Black Sash and the National Union of South African Students.We note with pride that you have looked — that you have acted as the conscience of white South Africa. Even during the darkest days in the history of our struggle you held the flag of liberty high. The large?scale mass mobilization of the past few years is one of the key factors which led to the opening of the final chapter of our — Your organized strength is the pride of our movement. You remain the most dependable force in the struggle to end exploitation and oppression.I greet the traditional leaders of our country — many among you continue to walk in the footsteps of great heroes like Hintsa and , you, the young lions. You, the young lions, have energized our entire struggle. I pay tribute to the mothers and wives and sisters of our nation. Without your support our struggle would not have reached this advanced stage. The sacrifice of the frontline states will be remembered by South Africans , black and white, recognize that apartheid has no future. It has to be ended by our own decisive mass action in order to build peace and security.The mass campaigns of defiance and other actions of our organizations and people can onlyculminate in the establishment of continent is in calculable. The fabric of family life of millions of my people has been shattered. Millions are homeless and unemployed. Our economy — Our economy lies in ruins and our people are embroiled in political strife. Our resort to the armedstruggle in 19xx with the formation of the military wing of the ANC, Umkhonto we Sizwe, was a purely defensive action against the violence of apartheid. The factors which necessitated the armed struggle still exist today. We have no option but to continue. We express the hope that a climate conducive to a negotiated settlement will be created soon so that there may no longer be the need for the armed , strategies, and , I feel duty?bound to make the point that a leader of the movement is a person who has been democratically elected at a national conference.This is a principle which must be upheld without any , I wish to report to you that my talks with the government have been aimed at normalizing the political situation in the country. We have not as yet begun discussing the basic demands of the struggle. I wish to stress that I myself have at no time entered into negotiations about the future of our country except to insist on a meeting between the ANC and the has gone further than any other Nationalist President in taking real steps to normalize the situation. However, there are further steps, as outlined in the Harare Declaration, that have to be met before negotiations on the basic demands of our people can begin.Negotiations cannot take place — Negotiations cannot take place above the heads or behind the backs of our people. It is our belief that the future of our country can only be determined by a body which is democratically elected on a non?racial basis. Negotiations on the dismantling of apartheid will have to address the overwhelming demands of our people for a democratic, non?racial and unitary South Africa. And this reality is that we are still suffering under the policies of the Nationalist , so that the process towards democracy is rapid and uninterrupted. We havewaited too long for our freedom. We can no longer wait.Now is the time to intensify the struggle on all fronts. To relax our efforts now would be a mistake which generations to come will not be able to role in a united democratic and non?racial South Africa is the only way to peace and racial harmony. In conclusion, I wish to quote my own words during my trial in 19xx. They are as true today as they were then. I spoke: I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and — and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.名人励志英语演讲稿篇4This is the text of Earl Spencer's tribute to his sister at her funeral. There is some very deep, powerful and heartfelt sentiment. Would that those at whom it is aimed would take heed. The versions posted on several news services had minor errors. This is precisely as it was deliverd.I stand before you today the representative of a family in grief, in a country in mourning before a world in shock.We are all united not only in our desire to pay our respects to Diana but rather in our need to do so.For such was her extraordinary appeal that the tens of millions of people taking part in this service all over the world via television and radio who never actually met her, feel that they, too, lost someone close to them in the early hours of Sunday morning. It is a more remarkable tribute to Diana than I can ever hope to offer her today.Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style,of beauty. All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity, a standard-bearer for the rights of the truly downtrodden, a very British girl who transcended nationality, someone with a natural nobility who was classless, who proved in the last year that she needed no royal title to continue to generate her particular brand of magic.Today is our chance to say "thank you" for the way you brightened our lives, even though God granted you but half a life. We will all feel cheated, always, that you were taken from us so young and yet we must learn to be grateful that you came along at all.Only now you are gone do we truly appreciate what we are now without and we want you to know that life without you is very, very difficult.We have all despaired at our loss over the past week and only the strength of the message you gave us through your years of giving has afforded us the strength to move forward.There is a temptation to rush to canonize your memory. There is no need to do so. You stand tall enough as a human being of unique qualities not to need to be seen as a saint. Indeed to sanctify your memory would be to miss out on the very core of your being, your wonderfully mischievous sense of humor with the laugh that bent you double, your joy for life transmitted wherever you took your smile, and the sparkle in those unforgettable eyes, your boundless energy which you could barely contain.But your greatest gift was your intuition, and it was a gift you used wisely. This is what underpinned all your wonderful attributes. And if we look to analyze what it was about you that had such a wide appeal, we find it in your instinctive feel for whatwas really important in all our lives.Without your God-given sensitivity, we would be immersed in greater ignorance at the anguish of AIDS and HIV sufferers, the plight of the homeless, the isolation of lepers, the random destruction of land mines. Diana explained to me once that it was her innermost feelings of suffering that made it possible for her to connect with her constituency of the rejected.And here we come to another truth about her. For all the status, the glamour, the applause, Diana remained throughout a very insecure person at heart, almost childlike in her desire to do good for others so she could release herself from deep feelings of unworthiness of which her eating disorders were merely a symptom.The world sensed this part of her character and cherished her for her vulnerability, whilst admiring her for her honesty. The last time I saw Diana was on July the first, her birthday, in London, when typically she was not taking time to celebrate her special day with friends but was guest of honor at a fund-raising charity evening.She sparkled of course, but I would rather cherish the days I spent with her in March when she came to visit me and my children in our home in South Africa. I am proud of the fact that apart from when she was on public display meeting President Mandela, we managed to contrive to stop the ever-present paparazzi from getting a single picture of her.That meant a lot to her.These were days I will always treasure. It was as if we'd been transported back to our childhood, when we spent such an enormous amount of time together, the two youngest in the family.Fundamentally she hadn't changed at all from the big sister who mothered me as a baby, fought with me at school and endured those long train journeys between our parents' homes with me at weekends. It is a tribute to her level-headedness and strength that despite the most bizarre life imaginable after her childhood, she remained intact, true to herself.There is no doubt that she was looking for a new direction in her life at this time. She talked endlessly of getting away from England, mainly because of the treatment she received at the hands of the newspapers.I don't think she ever understood why her genuinely good intentions were sneered at by the media, why there appeared to be a permanent quest on their behalf to bring her down. It is baffling. My own, and only, explanation is that genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum.It is a point to remember that of all the ironies about Diana, perhaps the greatest was this; that a girl given the name of the ancient goddess of hunting was, in the end, the most hunted person of the modern age.She would want us today to pledge ourselves to protecting her beloved boys William and Harry from a similar fate. And I do this here, Diana, on your behalf. We will not allow them to suffer the anguish that used regularly to drive you to tearful despair.Beyond that, on behalf of your mother and sisters, I pledge that we, your blood family, will do all we can to continue the imaginative and loving way in which you were steering these two exceptional young men, so that their souls are not simply immersed by duty and tradition but can sing openly as you planned.We fully respect the heritage into which they have both beenborn, and will always respect and encourage them in their royal role. But we, like you, recognize the need for them to experience as many different aspects of life as possible, to arm them spiritually and emotionally for the years ahead. I know you would have expected nothing less from us.William and Harry, we all care desperately for you today. We are all chewed up with sadness at the loss of a woman who wasn't even our mother. How great your suffering is we cannot even imagine.I would like to end by thanking God for the small mercies he has shown us at this dreadful time; for taking Diana at her most beautiful and radiant and when she had joy in her private life.Above all, we give thanks for the life of a woman I am so proud to be able to call my sister: the unique the complex, the extraordinary and irreplaceable Diana, whose beauty, both internal and external, will never be extinguished from our minds. 名人励志英语演讲稿篇5Every era has its defining struggle and the fate of Africa is one of ours. It's not the only one, but in the history books it's easily going to make the top five--what we did or what we did not do. It's a proving ground, as I said earlier, for the idea of equality. But whether it's this or something else, I hope you'll pick a fight and get in it. Get your boots dirty. Get rough. Steel your courge with a final drink there at Smoky Joe's, one last primal scream and go.每一个时代都有其特定的斗争使命，而我们的一个使命就是改变非洲的命运。
外国名人励志演讲稿英文
Ladies and gentlemen,It is my great honor to stand before you today and share with you some thoughts on the path to success. Success is not an easy journey; it requires determination, perseverance, and a willingness to embrace challenges. Throughout history, many famous figures have shown us the power of perseverance and resilience. In this speech, I will introduce some of these great individuals and their inspiring stories, hoping to ignite the fire of ambition within you.First and foremost, let us take a look at the life of Thomas Edison, the famous inventor of the electric light bulb. When Edison was young, he was not considered intelligent by his teachers. However, he never gave up on his dreams. He worked tirelessly, conducting numerous experiments, and finally, after 1,000 tries, he invented the incandescent light bulb. Edison once said, "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." This quote perfectly encapsulates the essence of success – it is not about talent, but about hard work and dedication.Another remarkable individual is Nelson Mandela, the former president of South Africa. Mandela spent 27 years in prison for fighting against apartheid. Despite facing numerous challenges, he never lost hope. He believed that his cause was just and that one day, he would be freed to continue his struggle for equality. Mandela's unwavering determination and courage inspired millions around the world. He once said, "It always seems impossible until it's done." This quote serves as a powerful reminder that we should never underestimate our ability to overcome obstacles.Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple Inc., is another outstanding figure who demonstrates the importance of embracing challenges. Jobs faced numerous setbacks in his career, including being fired from Apple. However, he never let these setbacks discourage him. Instead, he used them as a springboard to create new opportunities. Jobs once said, "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." This quote emphasizes the importance of passion and dedication in achieving success.In addition to these notable individuals, there are countless other inspiring stories that can teach us valuable lessons about the path to success. For instance, J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, was struggling to make ends meet when she began writing thefirst book in the series. She faced numerous rejections from publishers, but she never gave up. Today, the Harry Potter series has become one of the most successful book series in history.Another inspiring story is that of Malala Yousafzai, the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate. At the age of 15, she was shot by the Taliban for advocating for girls' education in Pakistan. Despite the pain and adversity she faced, Malala never gave up on her dream of promoting education for all. She continues to work tirelessly to empower girls and promote peace around the world.From these stories, we can draw several valuable lessons:1. Embrace challenges: Challenges are an inevitable part of life.Instead of shying away from them, we should embrace them asopportunities for growth and improvement.2. Persevere: Success often requires perseverance. It is important to stay focused on our goals and never give up, even when faced with setbacks.3. Passion: Passion is the driving force behind success. When we are passionate about what we do, we are more likely to put in the effort and dedication needed to achieve our goals.4. Resilience: Life is unpredictable, and we will face many obstacles along the way. It is important to develop resilience and learn from our experiences, allowing us to bounce back stronger.In conclusion, success is not an easy journey, but it is one that is worth pursuing. By embracing challenges, persevering through setbacks, and staying passionate about our goals, we can achieve greatness. As we look to the future, let us draw inspiration from the lives of great individuals like Thomas Edison, Nelson Mandela, Steve Jobs, J.K. Rowling,and Malala Yousafzai. Together, we can overcome any obstacle and create a brighter future for ourselves and for the world.Thank you.。

不畏挑战,迎接竞争——名人名校励志英语《DaretoCompete》演讲稿
不畏挑战，迎接竞争——名人名校励志英语《DaretoCompete》演讲稿Dare to Compete!Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. It is a great honor and pleasure for me to stand here today to share a few words about the importance of competition and the need to not fear challenges. My name is John Smith, and I am a successful entrepreneur who has been fortunate enough to learn a great deal about life through competition and the challenges it brings.We live in a highly competitive world. It doesn’t matter what field you are in, whether it is sports, education, business, or entertainment, the competition is fierce. Many people are afraid of challenges, and they avoid competitions because they believe the odds are against them. They are afraid to take risks, and they settle for mediocrity. ButI’m here to tell you that this kind of thinking is a trap.Competition is essential. It pushes us to do better, to strive for excellence, and to aim higher. Without it, we’dbecome complacent and stagnant. We’d lose our edge and fall behind. Competition keeps us sharp, focused, and motivated.But competition is also terrifying. It exposes us to the possibility of failure, rejection, and disappointment. It demands a lot from us, and it requires us to put in a lot of hard work and effort.So how do we overcome our fear of competition and challenges?First, we need to develop a growth mindset. A growth mindset is the belief that we can learn and improve through hard work, practice, and perseverance. It is the opposite of a fixed mindset, which is the belief that we are born with certain inherent talents and abilities that cannot be changed or improved.With a growth mindset, we see challenges and failures as opportunities to learn and grow. We embrace them as stepping stones to success. We don’t fear them; we welcome them.Second, we need to set goals. Goals give us direction and purpose. They help us focus our energy and efforts on what ismost important. They also provide us with a sense of accomplishment when we reach them.But setting goals is not enough. We also need to have a plan. A plan is a strategy that outlines the steps we need to take to achieve our goals. It is a roadmap that helps us stay on track and avoid distractions.Third, we need to surround ourselves with positive influences. Positive influences include people who support us, encourage us, and believe in us. They are also the books we read, the videos we watch, and the podcasts we listen to.Positive influences help us stay motivated, inspired, and focused. They uplift us when we feel down and remind us ofour potential.Lastly, we need to be resilient. Resilience is theability to bounce back from setbacks, failures, and disappointments. It is the ability to keep going when things get tough. It is the ability to learn from our mistakes andto never give up.Resilience is essential because challenges will come. There will be times when we fail, get rejected, and face disappointments. But we must remember that these setbacks do not define us. We define ourselves by how we respond to them.In conclusion, competition and challenges are not something to be feared, but something to be embraced. They are the keys to our success and our growth. As the famous basketball coach John Wooden once said, “Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.”So dare to compete. Dare to face challenges. And dare to become the best of which you are capable. Thank you.。

Ladies and gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon/evening. It is my great honor to stand before you today and share with you some thoughts on the power of determination and perseverance. We live in a world filled with challenges and adversities, but it is our attitude and actions that define us. Today, I want to talk about the inspiring stories of some great individuals who have overcome immense difficulties to achieve their dreams. Let us learn from their experiences and find the strength to conquer our own obstacles.First and foremost, we should remember the words of Nelson Mandela, the first black president of South Africa, who once said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." Mandela's life is a testament to the power of education and perseverance. Borninto a poor family, he faced discrimination and oppression throughout his childhood. Despite these challenges, he continued to strive for knowledge and education. Mandela's unwavering determination to fight against apartheid and his belief in the power of education led him to become one of the most influential leaders in history.Another inspiring figure is J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series. After facing personal adversity, including the loss of her mother and the separation from her first child, Rowling found solace in writing. Her first novel, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," was rejected by twelve publishers before it was finally accepted. Rowling's perseverance and belief in her work have resulted in a global phenomenon that has touched the lives of millions of people.Moving on to the world of sports, we have the story of Michael Jordan, the iconic basketball player. Despite being cut from his high school basketball team, Jordan never gave up on his dream of becoming a professional basketball player. He trained tirelessly and eventually became the greatest basketball player of all time. Jordan's determination and resilience serve as an inspiration to us all, reminding us that success is not measured by our initial failures but by our ability to persevere.In the field of science, we can look to the life of Marie Curie, thefirst woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only person to win in two different sciences. Curie's passion for science and her unwavering determination to uncover the mysteries of the atom led her to make groundbreaking discoveries. Her perseverance and dedication have not only earned her recognition but have also paved the way for future generations of scientists.These stories show us that adversity is not a roadblock but a stepping stone to success. The key to overcoming challenges lies in our mindset and our willingness to keep pushing forward. Here are some valuable lessons we can learn from these remarkable individuals:1. Believe in yourself: Confidence is the foundation of determination. Trust in your abilities and never let self-doubt hinder your progress.2. Set clear goals: Having a clear vision of what you want to achieve will give you direction and motivation. Break down your goals into manageable steps and focus on one at a time.3. Embrace failure: Failure is a natural part of the journey. Instead of seeing it as a setback, learn from your mistakes and use them as opportunities for growth.4. Stay persistent: Perseverance is the key to success. Don't give up when faced with difficulties; keep pushing forward and never lose sight of your goals.5. Surround yourself with supportive people: Having a strong support system can make a significant difference in your journey. Surround yourself with positive, like-minded individuals who will encourage and motivate you.6. Maintain a positive mindset: A positive attitude can help you overcome obstacles and keep you focused on your goals. Believe in your abilities and stay optimistic.In conclusion, the power of determination and perseverance is evident in the lives of great individuals throughout history. By drawinginspiration from their stories, we can find the strength to overcome our own challenges and achieve our dreams. Remember, success is not a destination but a journey. Embrace the obstacles, learn from your experiences, and never stop believing in yourself.Thank you for listening, and may you all find the courage and determination to conquer your own challenges and create a brighter future.。
名人英语励志演讲稿大学
Ladies and Gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon! It is a great honor to stand before you today and share some thoughts that I hope will inspire and motivate you on your journey through university and beyond. As we gather here in this esteemed institution, we are all united by a common goal: to acquire knowledge, develop skills, and prepare ourselves for the challenges that lie ahead.Firstly, let me extend my heartfelt gratitude to the university administration and faculty for providing us with such a nurturing environment. It is in this place of learning that we have the opportunity to explore our passions, expand our horizons, and forge lifelong friendships.As university students, we are at a unique crossroads in our lives. We have the freedom to choose our paths, and the power to shape our destinies. However, with this freedom comes a great responsibility. It is our duty to make the most of this opportunity and strive for excellence in all that we do.Today, I would like to talk about three key principles that I believe will guide you towards achieving greatness: embracing challenges, fostering resilience, and pursuing your passions.1. Embracing ChallengesLife is filled with challenges, and it is through overcoming these challenges that we grow and develop. As university students, we are no exception. We will face numerous obstacles, both academic and personal, that test our strength, determination, and perseverance.One of the greatest challenges you will encounter in university is the transition from high school to higher education. This transition requires you to take greater responsibility for your learning, manage your time effectively, and develop critical thinking skills. It is not an easy journey, but it is one that will prepare you for the demands of the real world.Remember, challenges are not meant to hinder us, but to propel us forward. When faced with a difficult task, do not shy away from it. Instead, embrace it with enthusiasm and a positive mindset. Ask yourself, "What can I learn from this experience?" and "How can I grow as an individual?"Let me share a story with you. There was once a young man named Winston Churchill who was faced with numerous challenges throughout his life. As a child, he was often bullied and had a speech impediment. As a young man, he failed his exams and was rejected by the military. Despite these setbacks, Churchill never gave up. He continued to work hard, and eventually became one of the most influential leaders in history.Winston Churchill once said, "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." Embrace the challenges that come your way, and let them become the stepping stones to your success.2. Fostering ResilienceResilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity and emerge stronger. In the university environment, resilience is crucial as it helps you to navigate through the ups and downs of life.As students, you will face moments of frustration, disappointment, and even failure. It is during these times that you must remain strong and focused. Remember that failure is not the end; it is a temporary setback. Use these experiences as opportunities to learn, grow, and adapt.Developing resilience requires you to cultivate a positive mindset,build a strong support network, and practice self-care. Surroundyourself with people who uplift you and encourage you to reach for your dreams. Seek out mentors who can guide you through difficult times and offer valuable advice.Furthermore, invest in yourself by engaging in activities that promote mental and physical well-being. Exercise, meditation, and hobbies canall contribute to your resilience. When you take care of your body and mind, you are better equipped to handle the challenges that come your way.A great example of resilience is the story of Nelson Mandela. After spending 27 years in prison, Mandela emerged as a leader who advocated for peace, reconciliation, and justice. His resilience allowed him to overcome one of the most harrowing experiences in human history.Mandela once said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." By fostering resilience, you will be better equipped to make a positive impact on the world around you.3. Pursuing Your PassionsPassion is the driving force behind success. It is the love and enthusiasm you have for something that propels you forward, even when the going gets tough.As university students, it is important to discover and pursue your passions. When you are passionate about what you do, you are more likely to excel and make a meaningful contribution to society.Take the time to explore different subjects, activities, and interests. Attend workshops, join clubs, and participate in extracurricular activities. These experiences will help you to identify your passions and ignite your passion for learning.Remember, your passions do not have to align with your major or career aspirations. They are personal and unique to you. Whether you are passionate about art, science, music, or social justice, pursue it with all your heart.A remarkable example of someone who followed their passion is J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series. After facing numerous rejections and financial struggles, Rowling persevered and wrote one of the most successful book series of all time. Her passion forstorytelling allowed her to create a world that has touched the lives of millions of people.In conclusion, as university students, we have the power to shape our own destinies. By embracing challenges, fostering resilience, andpursuing our passions, we can achieve greatness and make a positive impact on the world.As you continue your journey through university and beyond, remember these three principles. Let them guide you as you navigate through the challenges, setbacks, and triumphs that lie ahead.In closing, I want to leave you with a quote from the great Nelson Mandela: "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." Embrace this power, and use it to create a brighter future for yourself and for those around you.Thank you, and may your journey through university be filled with success, growth, and fulfillment.God bless you all!。

Ladies and gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon/evening! It is my great honor to stand before you today and share with you some thoughts on determination, a quality that has been the driving force behind many successful individuals throughout history. As a famous figure, I have experienced both triumphs and setbacks in my life. But it is through determination that I have overcome challenges and achieved my dreams. Today, I want to talk to you about the power of determination and how it can change your life.Firstly, let me define what determination is. Determination is the unwavering commitment to achieving a goal, despite the obstacles and setbacks that may come your way. It is the courage to face adversity head-on and the resilience to bounce back stronger. In my own journey, determination has been the cornerstone of my success.When I was young, I had a dream of becoming a successful entrepreneur. I believed in the power of innovation and wanted to make a difference in the world. However, the path to success was not easy. I faced numerous challenges, including financial difficulties, lack of experience, and skepticism from others. But I never gave up.One of the most crucial lessons I learned was that determination is not just about having a dream; it is about taking action. I knew that I had to work hard, learn from my mistakes, and never stop trying. So, Istarted by educating myself on business, networking with like-minded individuals, and seeking opportunities to gain practical experience. I also surrounded myself with a supportive team who shared my vision and were committed to our shared goals.As time went by, I began to see the fruits of my labor. My business grew, and I was able to create jobs and contribute to the economy. However, success did not come without its share of challenges. There were moments when I felt like giving up, when the pressure was too much to bear. But I remembered why I started in the first place – to make a difference in the world.This is where determination truly shines. It is not about being perfect or avoiding failure; it is about facing failure and learning from it. As Thomas Edison once said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." This quote has always been a source of inspiration for me. It reminds me that failure is not the end; it is a stepping stone to success.In my experience, determination requires several key elements:1. Passion: Without passion, determination is just a hollow promise.Find something you are truly passionate about, and let that passion fuel your drive.2. Persistence: Success is rarely achieved overnight. It takes time, effort, and patience. Stay committed to your goals, even when the going gets tough.3. Resilience: Life is unpredictable, and setbacks are inevitable. Learn to adapt, overcome, and keep moving forward.4. Accountability: Hold yourself accountable for your actions and decisions. Take responsibility for your mistakes and learn from them.5. Support: Surround yourself with people who believe in you and are willing to help you achieve your goals. A strong support system can make a significant difference.Ladies and gentlemen,As you embark on your own journey, remember that determination is your greatest asset. It will help you overcome obstacles, realize your dreams, and make a positive impact on the world. Here are a few tips to help you harness the power of determination:1. Set clear goals: Define what you want to achieve and create a roadmap to get there.2. Break down your goals: Divide your goals into smaller, manageable tasks, and focus on one at a time.3. Stay focused: Avoid distractions and maintain your focus on your goals.4. Celebrate your successes: Acknowledge your progress and rewardyourself for your hard work.5. Learn from failures: Analyze your mistakes, learn from them, and move on.In conclusion, determination is the key to unlocking your full potential. It is a quality that has the power to transform your life and the lives of those around you. By embracing determination, you can achieve greatness and make a lasting impact on the world.Thank you for listening. May you all find the strength and courage to pursue your dreams with unwavering determination. Godspeed![The end]。

Ladies and Gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon/evening. It is a great honor to stand before you today to share some thoughts on the power of determination, inspired by the lives of great figures who have left an indelible mark on history. Determination is the fuel that propels us forward, the driving force behind every achievement, and the cornerstone of success. In this speech, I will discuss the stories of some remarkable individuals who overcame immense challenges through sheer determination, and how their journeys can serve as a beacon of inspiration for us all.Firstly, let us consider the life of Nelson Mandela. As the first Black President of South Africa, Mandela’s story is one of resilience and unwavering commitment to justice. He spent 27 years in prison for hisanti-apartheid activism, yet emerged with a spirit unbroken. Mandela’s determination stemmed from his deep belief in the inherent dignity ofall human beings. He knew that the struggle for equality was not just a personal battle, but a fight for the betterment of society as a whole. Through his unwavering determination, Mandela not only dismantled the apartheid regime but also laid the foundation for a peaceful andinclusive South Africa.Mandela’s life teaches us that determination is not me rely about achieving a specific goal, but about staying true to our values and principles. It is about facing adversity with courage and grace, and emerging stronger from the experience. In our own lives, we may encounter obstacles that seem insurmountable, but if we draw strength from our inner convictions, we too can rise above our circumstances.Another inspiring figure is J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series. Her journey from struggling writer to global literary phenomenon is a testament to the power of determination. Rowling faced numerous rejections from publishers before her first novel was accepted. During this time, she was also dealing with the heartache of a failing marriage and the loss of her mother. Despite these setbacks, Rowling never gaveup on her dream. She continued to write, believing that her story was worth telling.Rowling’s determination can be attributed to her unwavering belief in the power of storytelling to connect people and inspire hope. She knew that if she could just get her book into the hands of readers, it would resonate with them and change their lives. Her perseverance paid off, and today, the Harry Potter series is loved by millions around the world.The story of J.K. Rowling reminds us that determination is not just about reaching our goals; it is about believing in ourselves and our abilities. It is about taking risks and embracing failure as a stepping stone to success. When we face rejection or setbacks, we must remember that they are merely temporary obstacles, not insurmountable barriers.A third remarkable individual is Malala Yousafzai, the youngest ever Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Born in Pakistan, Malala stood up for the right of girls to education in the face of extreme adversity. She was shot by the Taliban at the age of 15, but her spirit was unbroken. Malala’s determination to fight for education for all girls is a powerful reminder that we all have the power to make a difference in the world.Malala’s story teaches us that determination is not j ust about personal achievement; it is about using our gifts and talents to improve thelives of others. It is about standing up for what we believe in, even when the odds are stacked against us. Malala’s courage and determination have inspired countless individuals to fight for social justice and equality.In conclusion, the lives of Nelson Mandela, J.K. Rowling, and Malala Yousafzai are just a few examples of the incredible power of determination. These great figures have shown us that no matter how daunting the challenges may seem, we can overcome them through our unwavering commitment to our values and our belief in our own abilities.As we go about our lives, let us draw inspiration from these remarkable individuals. Let us remember that determination is not a trait reserved for the extraordinary among us; it is an inner strength that resides within each and every one of us. When we face obstacles, let us not be deterred. Instead, let us embrace our determination, let it fuel ourpassion, and let it guide us towards the success and fulfillment we all desire.Thank you for listening. May the stories of these great figures serve as a reminder that with determination, anything is possible.[Applause]。

：Dare to Compete, Dare to Care 敢于竞争，勇于关爱---美国国务卿希拉里·克林顿耶鲁大学演讲------------------------------------It is such an honor and pleasure for me to be back at Yale, especially on the occasion of the 300th anniversary. I have had so many memories of my time here, and as Nick was speaking I thought about how I ended up at Yale Law School. And it tells a little bit about how much progress we’ve made.What I think most about when I think of Yale is not just the politically charged atmosphere and not even just the superb legal education that I received. It was at Yale that I began work that has been at the core of what I have cared about ever since. I began working with New Haven legal services representing children. And I studied child development, abuse and neglect at the Yale New Haven Hospital and the Child Study Center.I was lucky enough to receive a civil rights internship with Marian Wright Edelman at the Children’s Defense Fund, where I went to work after I graduated. Those experiences fueled in me a passion to work for the benefit of children,particularly the most vulnerable.Now,looking back,there is no way that I could have predicted what path my life would have taken. I didn’t sit around the law school, saying, well, you know, I think I’ll graduate and then I’ll go to work at the Children’s Defense Fund, and then the impeachment inquiry, and Nixon retired or resigns, I’ll go to Arkansas. I didn’t think like that. I was taking each day at a time.But, I’ve been very fortunate because I’ve always had an idea in my mind about what I thought was important and what gave my life meaning and purpose. A set of values and beliefs that have helped me navigate the shoals, the sometimes very treacherous sea, to illuminate my own true desires,despite that others say about what l should care about and believe in.A passion to succeed at what l thought was important and children have always provided that lone star, that guiding light. Because l have that absolute conviction that every child, especially in this, the mostblessed of nations that has ever existed on the face of earth,that every child deserves the opportunity to live up to his or her God-given potential.But you know that belief and conviction-it may make for a personal mission statement,but standing alone, not translated into action, it means very little to anyone else, particularly to those for whom you have those concerns.When I was thinking about running for the United States Senate-which was such an enormous decision to make, one I never could have dreamed that I would have been making when I was here on campus-I visited a school in New York City and I met a young woman, who was a star athlete.But it is also important, as I have found, not to take yourself too seriously, because after all, every one of us here today, none of us is deserving of full credit. I think every day of the blessings my birth gave me without any doing of my own. I chose neither my family nor my country, but they as much as anything I’ve ever done, determined my course.Well, dare to care to fight for equal justice for all, for equal pay for women, against hate crimes and bigotry. Dare to care about public schools without qualified teachers or adequate resources.Dare to care about protecting our environment. Dare to care about the 10 million children in our country who lack health insurance. Dare to care about the one and a half million children who have a parent in jail.The seven million people who suffer from HIV/AIDS.And thank you for caring enough to demand that our nation do more to help those that are suffering throughout this world with HIV/AIDS, to prevent this pandemic from spreading even further.And so bring your values and experiences and insights into politics. Dare to help make, not just a difference in politics,but create a different politics.Some have called you the generation of choice. You’ve been raised with multiple choice tests, multiple channels, multiple websites and multiple li festyles. You’ve grown up choosing among alternatives that were either not imagined,created or available to people in prior generations.You’ve been invested with far more personal power to customize your life, to make more free choices about how to live than was ever thought possible. And I think as I look at all the surveys and research that is done, your choices reflect not only freedom, but personal responsibility.The social indicators, not the headlines, the social indicators tell a positive story:It is not the vast conspiracy you may have heard about; rather it’s a silent conspiracy of cynicism and indifference and alienation that we see every day,in our popular culture and in our prodigious consumerism.But as many have said before and as Vaclav Havel has said to memorably, “It cannot suffice just to invent new machines,new regulations and new institutions.It is necessary to understand differently and more perfectly the true purpose of our existence on this Earth and of our deeds.”And I think we are called on to reject, in this time of blessings that we enjoy, those who will tear us apart and tear us down and instead to liberate our God-given spirit, by being willing to dare to dream of a better world.During my campaign,when times were tough and days were long I used to think about the example of Harriet Tubman, a heroic New Yorker, a 19th century Moses, who risked her life to bring hundreds of slaves to freedom. She would say to those who she gathered up in the South where she kept going back year after year from the safety of Auburn, New York, that no matter what happens, they had to keep going. If they heard shouts behind them, they had to keep going.If they heard gunfire or dogs,they had to keep going to freedom. Well, those aren’t the risks w e face. It is more the silence and apathy and indifference that dogs our heels.Thirty-two years ago, I spoke at my own graduation from Wellesley, where I did call on my fellow classmates to reject the notion of limitations on our ability to effect change and instead to embrace the idea that the goal of education should be human liberation and the freedom to practice with all the skill of our being the art of making possible.Thank you and God bless you all.。
