征服自己英语演讲稿

Distinguished judges and dear audience,
Good evening! It’s a great honor for me to give you such a speech tonight. So my topic is Jump Higher to Defeat yourself!
There is an old saying which goes like this: "The greatest enemy is yourself." Yes, only when you conquer yourself can you improve yourself.. With the phenomenal development of the world, we will face more and more challenge, for many people ,challenge means hardship, means anxiety, pressure and burdens. They were defeated and eliminated In fact, sometimes the most powerful enemy, is not our opponent, but ourselves.
I once read such a story about fleas training. The fleas were trained in a card box with a top on it. At first, the fleas will jump high enough to hit the lid over and over and over again. But gradually a very interesting phenomenon occurs , they will not jump that higher and just low to lid. They restrict themselves to such a height. And when the lid were taken and they can’t jump out of the box. This is not because they can’t but they don’t want to. They were accustomed to the lower height and didn’t try to conquer them. We human beings sometimes are just like fleas, we think that’s all we can do instead of that’s the best we can do. So we are conquered by the reality and had no courage to persue their our original dream.
But for me . Challenge also means opportunity. Since we are young people and have glorious future before us, we should not be afraid of challenge. Challenge can inspire our creative power and lead us to success. I am the chef leader of a student association which is set up for a short time. All beginnings are hard, I had to finish many works to lead it to a formal development track.
Everyday, I busy myself with meeting and organizing activities, oh, god knows my pressure! But I conquer it, I conquered myself, I make it a excellent association. it makes me know no matter what comes to you, you should to face it, just face it and finish it a step by step. The biggest enemy is not the work but yourself’s laziness and fear. To conquer yourself is a process of self-perfection, let’s be a perfect flea and jump higher to defeat yourself!
Thank you very much!。
