英文励志演讲稿集锦（通用21篇）
The greatest results in life are usually attained by simple means, and the exercise of ordinary qualities. The common life of every day, affords ample opportunities for acquiring experience of the best kind.
人生最大的收获往往是通过最简单的方法或对常识的准确应用而获得的。每一个平凡的日子都会为我们提供许多机会，并使我们的阅历有所增强。
Fortune has often been blamed for her blindness. Those who look into practical life will find that fortune is usually on the side of the industrious, as the winds and waves are on the side of the best navigators. In the pursuit of even the highest branches of human inquiry, the commoner qualities are found the most useful,such as common sense, attention, application, and perseverance.
人们常常认为：机会是可遇而不可求的。而那些懂得细心观察生活的人往往会发现：机会总是更偏向于勤勉的人，正如海风与波浪经常会与航海家做伴一样。哪怕是在对人类事业的最高追求上，实践也是最有效的途径之一。当然，顽强的毅力也是必不可少的。
Genius may not be necessary, though even genius of the highest sort does not disdain the use of these ordinary qualities. The very greatest men have been among the least believers in the power of genius, and as worldly wise and persevering as successful men of the commoner sort. Some have even defined genius to be only common sense intensified. A distinguished teacher and president of a college spoke of it as the power of making ef forts. John Foster held it to be the power of lighting one's own fire.
天赋并不是获取成功的制胜法宝，即便是天才也同样会意识到常识的重要性。事实上，一些伟大人物往往是那些最不相信天赋的人。真正的智者和成功人士也并非在哪一方面特别出众，甚至他们曾被认为是缺少天赋的人。没错，他们之所以能够获得成功正是凭借着扎实的基本功，对基本常识的强化训练。一位校长兼优秀教师曾说过，他的成功源自不懈的努力。约翰?福斯特则把这种力量称之为“点燃生活的火焰”。
Newton's was unquestionably a mind of the very highest order, and yet, when asked by what means he had worked out his extraordinary discoveries, he modestly answered, "By always thinking unto them." At another time he thus expressed his method of study: "I keep the subject continually before me, and wait till the first dawnings open slowly by little and little into a full and clear light." It was in Newton's case, as in every other,only by diligent application and perseverance that his great reputation was achieved.
无可争议，牛顿的头脑是最高才智的头脑，但当我们问及他是通过什么方法取得了如此重大的发现时，他非常谦虚地答道：“全靠对那些问题不断地深思。”另一次，他这样表述他的研究方法：“我从未停止探索的脚步，当我看到第一缕曙光后，坚定的信念支持着我最终看到了清晰的世界。”正是通过勤奋和实践，牛顿才最终获得了不朽的名誉和伟大的成就。
Dalton,the chemist,repudiated the notion of his being "a genius," attributing everything which he had accomplished to simple industry and accumulation. John Hunter said of himself, "My mind is like a beehives; but full as it is of buzz and apparent confusion, it is yet full of order and regularity, and food collected with incessant industry from the choiceset stores of nature. "
英国化学家道尔顿对世人称他为“天才”的做法进行了批判。他认为自己之所以能获得成功完全凭借自身的不懈努力和对知识的不断积累。约翰?亨特也曾说过：“我的思想如同一个蜂箱，常常嗡嗡作响，甚至还会出现混乱，但通过不懈的努力，嗡嗡声已经消失了，蜜蜂们也都恢复了正常的秩序，而且还学会了如何从大自然的宝库中寻找食物。”
We have, indeed, but to glance at the biographies of great men to find that the most distinguished inventors, artists, thinkers, and workers of all kinds, owe their success, in a great measure, to their indefatigable industry and application.
我们同样可以在诸多人物传记中看到：大多数杰出人物，无论是发明家、艺术家、思想家、工人，还是社会各界人士，都无一例外地将自己的成就归功于勤奋和实践。
Wherever you are,and whoever you may be, there is one thing in which you and I are just alike, at this moment, and in all the moments of our existence. We are not at rest; we are on a journey. Our life is not a mere fact; it is a movement, a tendency, a steady, ceaseless progress towards an unseen goal. We are gaining something, or losing something, every day. Even when our position and our character seem to remain precisely the same, they are changing. For the mere advance of time is a change. It is not the same thing to have a bare field in January and in July. The season makes the difference. The limitations that are childlike in the child are childish in the man.
无论你现在身处何方,也无论你是何等人物，此时此刻，以及我们生命中的任一瞬间，你我之间都有一点相同之处。那就是，我们并未停歇，而仍在旅途。我们的人生并不仅仅是一种存在的事实,而是一种运动，一种趋势，一种坚定不移而没有停息地朝向某个看不见的目标前行的过程。每一天，我们都有所得,也有所失。即使我们的地位和品性看似与原来无异，但实际上它们正在改变，因为时间的推移本身就是一种改变。同一片荒野，在一月和七月是不同的，季节造成了这种差异。智能上的不足，在孩子身上被视为天真无邪，而对于成人来说则是一种幼稚的表现。
Everything that we do is a step in one direction or another. Even the failure to do something is in itself a deed. It sets us forward or backward. The action of the negative pole of a magnetic needle is just as real as the action of the positive pole. To decline is to accept the other alternative.
我们所做的每件事都是朝着某一个方向迈出的一步。甚至无为，其本身也是一种作为，它使我们前进或后退。一根磁针的磁极作用，无论正负都是一样的真实。拒绝也是一种接受，只不过是另外一种选择罢了。
Are you richer today than you were yesterday? No? Then you are a little poorer. Are you better today than you were yesterday? No? Then you are a little worse. Are you nearer to your port today than you were yesterday? Yes, you must be a little nearer to some port or other; for since your ship was first launched upon the sea of life you have never been still for a single moment; the sea is too deep, you could not find an anchorage if you would; there can be no pause until you come into port.
你今天比昨天富有吗？没有，那说明你变穷了点。你今天比昨天过得好吗？没有，那么你的情况变糟了一点。你今天比昨天更接近你的港口了吗？是的，那么你一定距某个港口更近了。因为，自从你驶入人生之海，你的航船至今尚未停歇片刻。这片海洋太深了，纵使你想找到一个抛锚停泊之处也难以求得。因此，在驶入港口之前，你无法稍作歇息。
as you slowly open your eyes,look around,notice where the light comes into your room;listen carefully,see if there are new sounds you can recognize;feel with your body and spirit,and see if you can sense the freshness in the air.
yes,yes,yes,it’s a new day,it’s a different day,and it’s a bright day!and most importantly,it is a new beginning for your life,a beginning where you are going to make new desicisions,take new actions,make new friends,and take your life to a totally unprecedented level!
in your mind’s eye,you can see clearly the things you want to have,the paces you intend to go,the relationships you desire to develop,and the positions you aspire to reach.
you can hear your laughters of joy and happiness on the day when everything happens as you dream.
you can see the smiles on the people around you when the magic moment strikes.
you can feel your face is getting red,your heart is beating fast,and your blood is rushing all over your body,to every single corner of your being!
you know all this is real as long as you are confident,passionate and committed!and you are confident,you are confident,passionate and committed!
you will no longer fear making new sounds,showing new facial expressions,using your body in new ways,approaching new people,and asking new questions.
you will live every single day of your life with absolute passion,and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take.
you will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your will never succumb to challenges of hardships.
you will never waver in your pursuit of r all,you are the best,and you deserve the best!
as you coach and friend,i can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will open to you,but the key to that door is in your must do your part,you must faithfully follow the plans you make and take the actions you plan,you must never quit,you must never fear.i know you must do it,you can do it,you will do it,and you will succeed!now stand firm and tall,make a fist,get excited,and yell it out:
i must do it!i can do it!i will do it!i will succeed!
there is a poem written by langston hughes hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die,life is a broken-winged bird. that can never fly.hold fast to dreams, for if dreams go, life is a barren field,frozen with snow. how beautiful it is. yes, we shouldn’t give up our dreams.we shouldn’t give in to the large pressure on the way to realize our dreams.how shall we dorobert h. goddard gave us the answer, “it is difficult to say which is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and reality oftomorrow” youth is not a time of life，it is a state of mind; it is not a matter ofrosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees， it is a matter of the will, aquality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions.it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of 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 may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. worry,fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust. whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, 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 is a wirelessstation: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, you and i will remain 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 at 20, but as long as your aerials are upto catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may have young heart at 80.
青春不是生命的一瞬，它是一种自然的心境；青春不是如花的脸庞、鲜红的嘴唇和健康柔润 的双腿，它是一种意志、想象、精力，更是生命中那生机勃勃的春天。 青春是冲动的勇敢而不是懦弱,青春是挑战的欲望而不是安逸的生活。即使年过花甲,壮心不已.没有人痴长百岁,而伴随着的是我们抛却幻想,锤炼生活的经历。岁月让我们的皮肤起了皱纹,但缺乏激情会让我们的灵魂萎缩。焦虑、恐惧、缺乏自信让心稽首，更让心灵的青春尘封。无论60岁还是16岁，我们每个人都有着天生的好奇心、孩子般刨根追底不厌其烦的渴求欲望、幻想游戏人生的生活方式。在你我心中有着心灵的默契：只要我们的心还能从人们的身上和大自然的怀抱中感受到美丽、希望、快乐、勇气和力量，那么我们依旧年轻无限。当幻想破灭，而你愤世嫉俗，对生活充满悲观情绪，那么你已经老了。即使在20岁的时候，只要你积极乐观的追求你心中的幻想，一直到永远，那么你在80岁的时候仍有一颗永保青春的心。

Dear teacher,classmates：
Good morning everyone！
Everyone wants success. But what is success? Generally, people think success is a great deal of money, high position, academic achievement, and so on. However, most of these people never really define what success means to them. In my opinion, success is a feeling, which makes you happy and content.
Success is a feeling, that means success is not considered as big or small, high or low. It is just a good mood from your heart. Maybe passing a final test is a success for a student, learning to walk is a success for a little child, marrying a beautiful girl is a success for a lad, signing a contract is a success for a company. Success varies from individual to group.
Success is a feeling, that means success is changing since your childhood. While you were a little child, you thought it was a success that your parents finally bought you lovely toys after you begged again and again. Success is the feeling you had when you were told that you won the contest. After graduation, you started working. You were successful when you finished a complicated task very well and you were praised. When married, maybe a happy marriage and a happy family meant success for you. When your child grew up, you hoped he or she attend a famous university or go abroad to study or work, at that time you considered that was your success. When you were old enough and couldn’t work at all, success was a feeling that your children and grandchildren came to see you from a long distance. Actually, success always accompanied you in your growth.
However, we have to admit that you can’t be successful all the time. We always meet many difficulties on the way to success. The more difficult it is, the much happier we are when we succeed.
To be successful, we should have a clear aim and then try our best to reach it. Wherever you go, whatever you are, your success belongs to yourself. It is a good feeling that you love it very much, and it really can make you laugh from the heart.
Only mother love is true love 's gives everybody everything in all his life ,When you are still a baby ,mother takes good care of you as much as your waking hour she always holds you in her you are ill,she stop her work right now to look after you day and night and forgets about you are growing up day by day,she feels very you are old enough to go to school,mother still looks after you all the cold winter days,she always tells you to put on more always stands in the window waiting for you back from you are hurry to leave home for school for breakfast ,she feels worried about you at usually knows about your study and spends much money on your school things you do well at school will see the brightset smile on her face.
Mother is ailways ready to give everything she has to her children ,not to receive.
What true love that is in the world !We will remember Mother love forever .
Every one of us,rich or poor,should at least have one or two good friends will listen to me when I want to speak,will wipe my eyes when I cry,will take care of me when I am sick,and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.
you will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take.
you will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life. you will never succumb to challenges of hardships.
you will never waver in your pursuit of excellence. after all,you are the best, and you deserve the best!
as your coach and friend, i can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand. you must do your part, you must faithfully follow the plans you make and take the actions you plan, you must never quit, you must never fear. i know you must do it, you can do it, you will do it, and you will succeed!
now stand firm and tall, make a fist, get excited, and yell it out:
i must do it! i can do it! i will do it! i will succeed!
斯坦福写给被拒学生：漫漫人生路，大学为何物?
THIS AFTERNOON, my office sent out over 34,000 email notifications to high school seniors who applied Regular Decision and were waiting with anticipation to learn whether they would be invited to spend the next four years at Stanford.
在今天下午，我们的招生办公室向3万4千多名申请我们常规录取的盼望着想在斯坦福度过自己四年大学生涯的高中学生发出了邮件。
Even though I have been in the admission field for over 30 years, I still feel quite a bit of pain at the end of this week (as I do each year) about the many exceptional youths who were not offered a space in the class. I also expect that in the following weeks I will hear from parents who are understandably distraught that their sons and daughters with top high school class rankings, very high SAT scores and some truly impressive extracurricular accomplishments were denied entry.
即便我已经负责招生工作长达30年之久，在这个周末，我依然为那些没能如愿以偿拿到offer的年轻人而感到遗憾。同时，我也能预见到很多家长会因为自己的孩子有着十分优异的教育背景，很高的SAT成绩但最终被斯坦福拒绝而感到心烦意乱。
Clearly, I believe that a Stanford education is wonderful, but my experience suggests it’s often parents who are more upset about our admission decisions than the kids. I can relate to their concerns: I found myself getting jittery as my own daughter waited for her college application decisions. But given that today’s teens already have enough pressure in their lives, I wish to impart three credos to these parents.
我一直相信斯坦福的教育水平是无与伦比的。但我的'经验告诉我，当这些孩子被斯坦福拒绝的时候，他们家长会比他们更感到沮丧。我能体会到这些家长的感受。当我的女儿在等待大学的录取决定时，我也曾经紧张和不安。现今的孩子们已经承受了太多的压力，在这里，我想与所有家长分享三条理念
First, it's all relative. While the number admitted into the undergraduate class has remained unchanged for years, Stanford, like many of its peer schools, has had a record number of total applicants – more than 42,000. Regardless of arguments over whether too much preference is given to one category over another, thousands of students are going to be turned away, and there is no doubt that the vast majority of them could have met the demands of a Stanford education. We could, for instance, have filled incoming classes four or five times over with applicants who achieved grade point averages of 4.0 or greater.
首先，一切都是相对的。虽然每年录取的本科生人数已经保持不变数年之久，斯坦福像他同一级别的其他学校一样，每年会收到超过420xx份申请。先不管录取时对申请人资质的侧重和倾向问题，每年都会有数千学生会被无情的拒绝掉。毫无疑问的是，这些被拒掉的学生中，绝大多数是符合斯坦福的申请要求的。实际上，有着GPA4.0的申请者的数量是我们实际录取人数四到五倍。
I wish there were a formula to explain who is accepted and who isn’t, but the decision-making is as much art as it is science. Each class is a symphony with its own distinct composition and sound; the final roster is an effort to create harmony, and that means that some extraordinary bass players don’t get a chair. What’s more, even among my staff there are legitimate differences about applicants. The bottom line: The world is not going to judge anyone negatively because they didn’t get into Stanford or one of our peer institutions.

Ladies and gentlemen:
good morning!
Today, my speech is "I am the part of the Green Olympics".
"Green Olympics" is one of the Three Themes of Beijing 20xx Olympic Games. Therefore the Beijing government had made a great effort in order to protect the environment, build more "Green project", keep the ecological balance, push the recycling economy, and protect the water resource. But if only the government take the action to realize the Green Olympics in 20xx, its not enough. As a Beijing high school student, we should play an active role in the actions aimed at the realization of Green Olympics. So we should start it from ourselves, our family, our friends and other people around us.
In 20xx, in the Moscow world trade center, when the former chairman of the International Olympic Committee, Samaranch had said: "Beijing, China!" As a Beijing citizen, as a Chinese, I had a great joy for my city, for my home country from the bottom of my heart! But after the excitement that Beijing had been succeed in the race to host the Olympic Game in 20xx. I started to worry about the dusty air, the sandstorm, the polluted rivers and lakes; the streets without any green and whether we could successfully host the Olympic Games in 20xx.
Four years later, today, we can see 229 day blue sky in one year, we can hardly catch a glimpse of the sandstorm, groups of wild duck comes back to Shishahai Lake in the spring, and all the streets are dressed in green. All these make me deeply believe that Beijing will surely succeed in 20xx! And all these achievements are not only the result that made by the Beijing government, but also by the 14 millions Beijing citizens. As one of the 14 millions normal citizens, I am also adding my contribution to our Green Olympic!
I used to have a habit, which is to take two longtime showers every day. It was a big waste of water. One day, I saw a piece of news in Beijing Daily that about the lack of the Beijing water resource. Its said every year Beijing use up about 3.7 billions cubic meter of water. But Miyun reservoir only contains 0.77 billions cubic meter of water, and Guanting reservoir only contains 0.19 billion cubic meter of water. This shows we are really short of water now! After reading this news, I start to change my habit, and only take one quick shower each day. I have calculated that if everyone economizes one cubic meter of water during they are taking the shower in a month; the Beijing citizens will economize 14 million cubic meter of water in only one month! In 20xx, as the Beijing Irrigation Apartment reported that since 20xx Beijing has succeeded in the application of hosting the Olympic game in 20xx. Beijing government had started 26 programs in order to economize the water resource. After 3 years doing this, these programs have saved 0.437 billions cubic meter of water. Its as big as a four-sized Huairou reservoir! And now, in my daily life, in my family, we always think about protecting the environment and saving the resource whenever we doing what. The batteries, the aged newspa-pe-rs, the empty glabottles and all the recyclable garbage, we will classify them then put them in different trash cans; we make the most use of the nature light and shut off the electrical light conveniently; and when we shopping, we will bring a nylon bag with us instead of plastic bags; during the feast, I do not send any card in order to protect the forest resource; after washing the clothes, we wont dump the used water but use it to flash the toilet… All in all, we should start from every little thing around us to truly realize the "Green Olympic".
I still remember clearly that in the Athens 20xx Olympic Games, when Liu Xiang stood up on the award platform, he was wearing a coronet, which made by olive branch. Does this green olive branch stand for the "Green Olympic"? Olive branch is the symbol of peace, and the Olympic Game is the carrier of the "peace". We should not just simply think, "No war is the meaning of peace". "Nature and human beings living in harmony" is also the root meaning of "peace". "Save the resource, protect the environment", this kind action of pursuing "Nature and human beings living in harmony", is the way that shows the core of the Olympian spirit. So we say, peace is the spirit of Olympic, Olympic is the carrier of peace, and "Green Olympic" means that we are standing in a higher platform to seek the peace.
So the "Green Olympic" should be started from every little things in our daily life, start form me, from the people that around me. Exprethe spirit of Olympic, publicize the theme of "Green Olympic", and let Beijing really reaches the "Green Olympic" in 20xx. This is the responsibility of anyone who loves peace. And it is also the responsibility of our Beijing high school students!
Thank you!
I waited a long time out in the world before I gave myself permission to fail. Please don t even bother asking. Don t bother telling the world you are ready. Show it. Do it.
I hate that word — lucky It cheapens a lot of hard work.
I spend my nights just sitting and reading a book and drinking my tea and walking my dog. That s about as exciting as my life gets.
[on his dwarfism] When I was younger, definitely, I let it get to me. As an adolescent, I was bitter and angry and I definitely put up these walls. But the older you get, you realize you just have to have a sense of humour. You just know that it s not your problem. It s theirs.
Any swagger is just defense. When youre reminded so much of who you are by people - not a fame thing, but with my size, constantly, growing up - you just either curl up in a corner in the dark or you wear it proudly, like armor or something. You can turn it on its head and use it yourself before anybody else gets a chance.
You can say no. You can not be the object of ridicule.
Saying I was lucky negates the hard work I put in and spits on that guy who’s freezing his ass off back in Brooklyn.
I love animals. All animals. I wouldn t hurt a cat or a dog — or a chicken, or a cow. And I wouldn t ask someone else to hurt them for me. That s why I m a vegetarian.
I was fortunate enough to have an upbringing that made me more accepting of who I am.
George Martin is an incredible writer.
I dress and eat like a fifth-grader, basically. I like sandwiches and cereal and hooded sweatshirts.
Being on television, playing the same character for many years, for me, I think that would get a little tedious.
So I won t say I m lucky. I m fortunate enough to find or attract very talented people. For some reason I found them, and they found me.
Bad guys are complicated characters. It s always fun to play them. You get away with a lot more. You don t have a heroic code you have to live by.
I think a lot of great male comic actors are introspective, quiet personalities, which I really admire. But they are really able to turn it up when the camera s on.
I like playing the guy on the sidelines. They have more fun.
My family had a habit of collecting creatures that didnt always want to be pets. The first animal I can remember was a Lab named Zoe.
Call me Elf......one more time!
I don t socialize. I m kind of a hermit. The life of an actor can be very lonely.
I feel really lucky, although I hate that word - lucky .
I think if actors are successful at one thing, they paint themselves into a corner sometimes, and what s the fun in that?
I do not fault anyone else who makes choices to play characters that they wished they hadn t... Because at the end of the day, none of us are happy with our jobs all the time.
That s one of the things about theater vs. film - with theater, actors have a little more control, and one of the disappointing things about films is that once you re done shooting, anything can happen, you know?
Animals on factory farms all face pain and fear, just like the animals we share our homes with, yet are repeatedly abused in shocking ways.
I love working with the same actors repeatedly. That happens a lot. It s kind of inevitable, especially if you work with the same writers and directors and you start to form a company of actors. You gravitate towards each other.I never lived in an abandoned railroad station.
I was opposed to doing TV for a long time because I thought the quality of writing wasn t very strong, as opposed to film, but there s been a shift in term of the quality of scripts. HBO has attracted a tremendous amount of great writing talent.
Game of Thrones is an amazing show, and I have no problem speaking of the virtues of HBO.
Maybe everyone is a little too reassuring that things are going to be OK to college graduates. It gives them a false sort of security.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, it is really my honor to sand here and my topic is Chinese Dream. As is known to all, recently Chinese Dream has become a hot topic around our country which is inspired by President Xi ’s Chinese Dream, everyone talked enthusiastically about his understanding of the Chinese Dream. We all believe that this dream will come true in the future.
As a contemporary college student, Chinese dream is a word too big to understanding. As for my own dream, I have always wanted to be a teacher. Not only because teachers can help students know more about the world, but also because they are doing a respectable job. Teachers can also help people to live a better life with their professional knowledge.
Our new president said: the Chinese dream is a dream of national strength prosperity and people's happiness. He also expounded his views of realizing our great dream. I always ask myself what I can do for our great Chinese dream. As we all know that the wiser the youths are, the stronger the nation will be. I just want to say I am very tiny but I am indispensable. I believe that as long as all of our university students unite together and perform our own functions and study hard in school and work hard after we graduating from university. We must be able to achieve our great dream, and meanwhile do something for our country.
Forty years ago, when Mr. Martin Luther King fell down, his words “I have a dream” spread across the world. But, you must know that there is not just an English version of it. In the distant East, in the China that has held on for thousands of years, there is also a dream. It belongs to every ordinary Chinese. It is “I have a dream” written in Chinese.
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.名人励志演讲稿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 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 made 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 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 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 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 dot.community 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 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 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 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.
many things in this world find neither an answer nor a proper explanation. for example, why should two become a couple among the billions of people on earth? why don't they love each other even though they live together everyday, and yet one of them falls in love with someone else at the first sight? why do the members of a family quarrel daily but still stay unhappily together? why can't they get married in spite of the fact that they are a perfect match to each other? why should one toil so much for the other? why should the love-infatuated always be deserted by the heartless?.....
people remain puzzled in spite of their great effort to understand the endless questions, so they invented the all-embracing word---“predestination”. in order to be more precise, different combinations were derived from it: love predestination, sinful predestination, evil predestination, and kind predestination etc., hence we have the sayings like: “predestination will definitely bring you together despite the great distance while without predestination, you'll never know each other even though you are standing fact to face” “a distant couple is tied up with the thread of predestination” and even the phrases and expressions like “the god of marriage”, “predestination without luck”, “luck without predestination”, “coming across each other is a kind of predestination”, “enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road”, “they shall not marry each other unless they are predestined lovers”. if people still can not find answers, they turn to “reincarnation” for help. lin daiyu is always in tears just for repaying for the water jia baoyu had given her when she was a plant in her previous life in a dream of the red mansions .
in fact, the so-called “predestination” is often a kind of coincidence or chance encounter, even a kind of accident. if you don't meet this person, you'll surely meet some one else. but people insist on adding some colors of emotions or superstition, thus generating various religious factions, the main theories of which are no more than that of “reincarnation”, “heaven and hell” and “the ever-lasting soul” etc.
but does anyone know anything about his previous life or his after life? what could he do even if he knew them? if he can't grasp the present life, what's the benefit of commenting on the visionary after life? giving up today is the same as giving up tomorrow, for they are closely connected. how absurd it is to work like the horse or cattle in the present life in order to be above others in the next life.
have you ever seen emperor qinshihuang reincarnate? have you ever heard of emperor wudi of the han dynasty going into another life? where is now monk xuanzang of the tang dynasty (what we know is the big wild goose pagoda)? where is the monkey king (the flower and fruit mountain does exist, though)? and where can we find those great emperors such as yao , shun yu and the influential philosophers like confucius, laozi and zhuangzi?
how many heavens do we find? are they also divided into the oriental and the occidental world? is god a chinese or westerner? which is the greatest religion among buddhism, daoism, christianity, catholicity and islamism? all religions advocate doing good deeds and not killing, but why do they keep contending against each other, even fighting and killing among themselves? is the paradise the same one in all religions? there's only one sun in the sky, and there should be only one emperor in a country, but do all religions believe in the same god, or do they have different gods of their own? if all of us expected god's help, wouldn't god be too busy and too tired?
does god respect science? if not, why does he allow computers and telecommunications to run rampant? if it is god who created human beings, then doesn't he feel out of control of what the human being are doing now (the nuclear weapons and bio-chemical weapons, etc.)?
we human beings have an origin, and is it the same with god? does god get married? is god hereditary, or is it the same ever-lasting one?
we have all those questions but who can answer them?.
predestination needs us to strive for; friendship needs us to maintain; good will needs us to treasure and future needs us to create. there is no savior, nor goddess of mercy who once saved people in the past but cannot do anything to help the people at the present. the world is developing too fast.
people have to work together and associate with each other. talking about predestination, it's just a kind of explanation about what has happened, and i'm afraid nobody can predict it before hand. from ancient times till the 1980' s, once getting married, the couple had to stick to each other for their whole life. can we say it is because of their life-long predestination? it is just because of the marriage system. in the western countries, life-long marriage is rare. can we sa
y it is because their predestination makes it so? it is actually the result of human nature. the color of love could be attached to predestination, but not the color of superstition.
predestination is a lovely word which we should treasure and respect. in the present world, we should always follow the win-win or multi-win policy, instead of being single-handed. in order to achieve success, we must gain mass support instead of indulging in self-admiration. we might as well call the communication, the cooperation, the common concerns and the common aspirations of human beings “predestination”.
热爱生活
However mean your life is, meet it and live it;
无论你的生活如何卑微，都要正视它，并活下去;
do not shun it and call it hard names.
不要躲避它，也不要恶语相加。
It is not so bad as you are.
你的生活不像你本人那么糟糕。
It looks poorest when you are richest.
你最富有的时候，你的生活看上去倒似最贫穷。
The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise.
吹毛求疵的'人即便在天堂也能挑出瑕疵。
Love your life, poor as it is.
你要热爱你的生活，尽管生活一贫如洗。
You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours,even in a poorhouse.
即使身处济贫院，你也可能享受一段愉快、兴奋、美妙的时光。
The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man's abode;
西斜的落日映照在济贫院窗户上的余晖，与照射在富贵人家豪宅上的一样光芒万丈;
the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.
门前的积雪同在早春消融。
I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.
在我看来，一个心态平和的人处事泰然，思想乐观，过着自得其乐的生活，住在济贫院就如同居住在皇宫里一般。
The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.
依我之见，城镇的贫民倒是往往过着最独立不羁的生活。
Maybe they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.
也许他们十分伟大，对任何事情皆可坦然受之。
Most think that they are above being supported by the town;
大多数人认为他们不屑于接受城镇的施救;
but it oftener happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means, which should be more disreputable.
但是实际上他们经常使用不诚实的手段来维持自己的生计，这是更为不体面的。
Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage.
像圣贤一样，如同栽培花园中的花草一般来培养贫困吧。
Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends.
犯不着千辛万苦以求获得新东西，无论是衣服还是朋友。
Turn the old; return to them.
返璞，归真。
Things do not change; we change.
万物没有变，是我们在变。
Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
衣履可鬻,所思必存。
God will see that you do not want society.
上帝会证明，你并不需要社会。
If I were confined to a corner of a garret all my days,like a spider,the world would be just as large to me while I had my thoughts about me.
如果我每天都躲在阁楼一角，像只蜘蛛一样，可只要我的思想指引我，世界于我还是一样的广阔无边。
The very in the creed of common sense is Obedience.
生的第一信条就是:学会服从。
Perform your work with a whole heart.
在工作中，你必须做到全心投入。
Revolt may be sometimes necessary, but the man who tries to mix revolt and obedience is doomed to disappoint himself and everybody with whom he has dealings. To flavor work with protest is to fail absolutely.
当然，我们必定要有做出反抗的时候。不过，如果一个人始终在反抗与服从这两种情绪中挣扎，并试图将两者混合在一起，那么他不仅会使自己感到失望，也会使身边的人感到失望。如果一个人对工作充满抵触情绪，那么他必定会一事无成。
When you revolt, climb, hike, get out, defy, tell everybody and everything to go to hades! That disposes of the case. You thus separate yourself entirely from those you have served, no one misunderstands you have declared yourself.
当你的内心充满了愤懑的情绪时，千万不要将这种情绪发泄到他人身上！只有这样你才不会众叛亲离，才不会被他人误解。否则的话只会使事情变得更糟。
The man who quits in disgust when ordered to perform a task which he considers menial or unjust may be a pretty good fellow, but the malcontent who takes your order with a smile and then secretly disobeys is a dangerous proposition. To pretend to obey, and yet carry in your heart the spirit of revolt is to do half hearted, slipshod work. If revolt and obedience are equal in power, your engine will then stop on the center and you benefit no one, not even yourself.
如果一个人面对繁重的工作依然能够泰然处之，那么他必定是个好员工；如果一个人表面上笑着接受你的命令，背地里却不服从，那么这种情况显然很危险。如果你假装服从，而内心却充满抵触情绪，那么你必定会对工作表现得漫不经心。更何况，当服从与抵触情绪共同出现时，你的能力必定会被这两种力量所抵消。这一结果对任何人而言都不是件好事。
The spirit of obedience is the controlling impulse that dominates the receptive mind and the hospitable heart.
我们必须通过一种自制力，使自己的思想与内心完全接受服从心理。
There are boats that mind the helm and there are boats that do not. Those that do not, get holes knocked in them sooner or later. To keep off the rocks, obey the rudder.
一些人的思想之舟中有一个舵手，而另外一些人的思想之舟却没有舵手来掌握方向。显然，后者极易覆舟。因而，我们必须按照“蛇手”的要求去做,这样才能够避开暗礁险滩。
Obedience is not to slavishly obey this man or that, but it is that cheerful mental state which responds to the necessity of the case, and does the thing without any back talk unuttered or expressed.
服从并不是指让我们像奴隶那样俯首帖耳，而是要以一种愉悦的心情来接受必须去做的事情。这样一来，当我们去做某件事时才不会表现得闷不吭声或喋喋不休。
The man who has not learned to obey has trouble ahead of him every step of the way. The world has it in for him continually, because he has it in for the man who does not know how to receive orders is not fit to issue them to others. But the individual who knows how to execute the orders given him is preparing the way to issue orders, and better still to have them obeyed.
一个不懂得服从的人必定会四处碰壁，他与世界为敌，世界必定也会与他为敌！一个不懂得服从的人根本不配让他人服从自己。反之，越是懂得服从的重要性的人，越有权利得到他人的服从。

“我需要在篮球与生活之间找到一个平衡点。我已经老了，需要篮球场之外的东西。当我年轻的时候，我可以只为篮球而活，但现在我很清楚，是时候离开了。”美国媒体此前曝料，巴蒂尔已经与ESPN签署了一份多年合同，退役后，他将成为一名大学篮球评论员。开讲啦肖恩巴蒂尔励志演讲稿中英文：被嘲笑的梦想，365语录台词把这篇文章分享给大家，下面就是365语录台词网为你搜集整理的精彩内容，就让我们一起来欣赏一下吧！
大家好！
首先我要非常感谢主持人撒贝宁，感谢栏目组邀请我到中国，也感谢你们邀请我参加今天这个节目，给大家分享一下我生命当中的故事。我想给大家分享的可能不仅仅是关于篮球，其实可以运用到大家的工作和生活当中。无论你从事何种职业，只要有梦就要专心致志地去追，去寻找你的梦想去追求它。
我在密歇根底特律的平民家庭长大，我的父亲是一个言语不多的人，他是个商人，我父亲告诉过我很重要的一点，也是我从他身上看到的，父亲教会我，每天都要为梦想竭尽全力。那就是每天他起床穿戴衣服之后，他会告诉他自己，无论你是生病了还是你觉得劳累了，但是他总会竭尽全力。
很多人认为我是某天醒来发现自己突然长到2米05，我可以打进NBA也是很自然的事儿，但没有人认识到成为NBA球员靠的是恒心和毅力。其实我在整个追梦的过程中都是靠恒心和毅力才使自己最终进入NBA。当我12岁的时候我身高是1米8，当时就像铅笔一样的瘦，没有一个女孩愿意跟我约会或者跟我接吻，因为她们觉得我长得很好笑。有天我跟小伙伴们聊天，我告诉他们说有一天我会到NBA赛场上去比赛，你们猜他们什么反应，他们嘲笑我，他们嘲笑我的梦想。他们告诉我说，肖恩你太瘦了，而且你跑得不快，跳得也不够高，你绝对不可能到NBA去打球的，你绝对不可能完成你的梦想。作为一个12岁小男孩我听到这样的话我觉得很伤心，因为他们不认可我的梦想。那么当时我觉得我最看中的是我自己的想法。 每天早上我起来看着镜子我问我自己：肖恩，你每天都准备好了吗？今天你要竭尽全力，去接近梦想，一点也好。
在我晚上睡觉刷牙的时候，我也是看着镜子问我自己，不要想昨天也不要想明天，只想想今天我是不是离我的梦想，离我的目标近了一点点呢？大部分的时候我都可以说是的。我每一天都在练习、不断地练习，我一点一点地进步，当我十四岁的时候，我就已经有将近两米高了。我上高中后渐渐地开始成功，当时有一个篮球运动员叫克里斯·韦伯，他当时是NBA选秀的第一名，所以在我还是高一的时候，我十四、五岁左右我身边的人都告诉我说，你永远没办法像克里斯那样出色，因为克里斯很强壮，而且力气也很大，但是你跑得不快，弹跳力也不行，你永远也不可能成为他。但是我小时候，已经听过这种话了，那么我怎么做呢？
我看着镜子对自己说“你要知道，只有你自己的想法是最重要的”，所以我就不断地去努力。在我高中毕业的时候，我要准备去上大学了，我已经赢了三个全州的冠军，而且我还是那一年整个全美高中明星队里面的一员，我是当时全国高中生中最棒的篮球运动员。我后来就决定进入到美国一个学术与篮球都很出色的大学，那就是杜克大学。你们肯定想不到我在申请杜克时，人们对我说的话。他们说：“哦，肖恩，你现在篮球打得很好，但你在大学的.时候，应该不会那么出色了，因为你速度比较慢，跳得也不高，而且你也不够强壮，你的篮球意识也不够强。”这些话都是我在十二岁的时候，在十四、五岁的时候也听过。 那么我怎么做呢，我也是站在镜子前，我问我自己，你准备好了吗？你要去向那些质疑你的人证明，证明他们是错的，所以我就不断地奋斗。在我四年的大学结束以后，我决定加入NBA。我到了NBA的时候，人们的质疑又来了，他们说肖恩你大学的时候是很好的球员，但是你绝对不可能是一个优秀的专业球员，很惊讶吧，很让人震惊吧。而我是怎么做的呢？我对着镜子告诉自己说：现在是你继续努力的时候了。
那么十二年之后，我站在各位的面前，我已经赢得了NBA的两个总冠军，而且我在非常棒的两支球队里面打过球，而且我让我的梦想成真了。我觉得我的故事当中，最美妙的一部分是告诉大家，并不是我一夜之间醒过来我就到了NBA的赛场，不是这样的。我这一路上每一小步，直到今天的成功，我被排挤过，有人说我不够优秀，有人说我永远不会成功，当我在篮球方面成功的时候，人们总是希望称我为篮球明星，但是对于我自己的话除了篮球之外还有很多的东西。
我非常地幸运，我的父母都非常重视对我的教育，但是我有一些朋友和老师，他们会说：“肖恩，你不需要成为一个很好的学生，只要好好打你的篮球就行了。”我说不“ 不，我不要这样子，我要成为一个很好的学生。因为我喜欢学习，喜欢看书，我喜欢学习新的东西。”在我整个四年的高中时间，我的成绩只得到了一个B，其他的都是A。
我还记得，我小的时候还踢过足球，当时有很大的一个球场，应该是类似锦标赛的一个比赛，现在仍然记忆犹新。当时我12岁，我非常地紧张，我害怕自己会犯错误，但当我带球跑时总是踢偏，怎么都跑不远，要知道我面对的是大概六万的观众，我不能面对这样的场面，我难过地哭了，但至少我努力过、我试过， 虽然我可能失败了，我从失败中的收获，可能比从成功中的收获更大。
其实我棒球打得也不错，我爸爸是我的棒球教练，他告诉我说，当你是团队中的一员，无论是棒球队还是篮球队或者一个俱乐部或者是家庭，你必须要是一个很好的队员，要有很好的团队合作精神。在比赛当中你并不需要是跑得最快的，跳得最高的，或者是投得最准的，才能成为一个好的团队合作者，你只需要准时参加每天的练习。不仅是为了你自己，而是为了你的队友，对你的家人来说你要为你的父亲母亲、你的姐妹、你的兄弟，能够在他们需要的时候，伴随着他们，你要充满着热情和激情去完成这一点。我觉得想获得成功这是非常重要的，很多人总是想要成为一个闪耀的明星。
他们想成为詹姆斯，想成为科比·布莱恩特，但是我想告诉大家，在一个篮球队里，在学校社团里，在你的交响乐团，在一个家庭当中，其实没有所谓的超级明星，每一个人都有自己的角色。在篮球场上对于詹姆斯来讲，他要去投最高分的球，得到三十分。他的工作非常重要，同样重要的是对他来说，有一个队友可以给他传球去帮助他去支持他的工作，并不能说这个角色就是次要的。因为对一个获得冠军的球队来说，那个角色至关紧要。有些人会说寻找一个强壮的绿叶比找到一个超级明星更难，没有所谓的超级明星，或者说每个人都是超级明星，你要让你自己变得有价值，让你成为团队当中有价值的一员，今天之所以在这个地方就是因为我是一个很强大的绿叶。是我队友的绿叶，是我团队的绿叶，我组织的绿叶，我时刻准备着，我相信我自己，即使所有人都怀疑我排挤我，我都会为机会做好准备，这可能是你一生之中要学到最重要的一堂课。
我的教练是美国最出色的之一，他叫麦克沙舍夫斯基，他曾经这样说道：“你最好准备好下一场的比赛，因为在篮球场上，有很多事情会发生，比如你在运球的过程中，突然一下被鞋子绊倒了，每个人都在嘲笑你，那么多国家的电视台都在直播你的现场，所有人都看到了，那你会怎么办呢？你会坐那儿哭吗，会说我被绊倒了太丢脸了，所有人都在嘲笑我？不，一定不要这样子。那你应该怎么做呢？你只有站起来，继续下一场的比赛，下一场的比赛是最重要的。” 我一定要进行下一场的比赛，这是非常重要的一种思维模式。如果我们能够形成这样的思维模式，会使你受益终生，你会一直能够继续打下一场的比赛。抓住下一次的机会，以及实现下一次的目标。到时我们必须拥有面对之前那个挑战时的激情和热情，如果一直这样坚持的话，你肯定会取得成功，我相信你肯定会取得成功。
我想要感谢大家到场，希望大家能够问一些，非常有趣的问题，尖锐的温柔的问题。然后我准备好回答大家的问题，非常感谢大家，谢谢！
Hello everyone！
First of all I want to thank you very much host Sa Beining， thanks for inviting me to China column group， thank you for inviting me to participate in this program today， to share with you the story of my life。 I want to share with you might not just about basketball， in fact， which can be applied to everyone's work and life。 No matter what profession you choose， as long as you have a dream we must dedicate ourselves to chase， to find your dream to pursue it。
I grew up in Detroit， civilian family， my father， who was a few words， he is a businessman， my father told me a very important point， which I saw from him， my father taught me， every day To dream of every effort。 That is， after he gets up every day to wear clothes， he would tell himself， whether you are sick or you feel tired， but he always best。
Many people think that one day I woke up to find themselves suddenly grow up to 2 m 05， I could have scored NBA is also very natural thing， but nobody recognizes become NBA players rely on the persistence and perseverance。 In fact， I always rely on persistence and perseverance in the whole process only to make their dream of eventually entering the NBA。 When I was 12 years old when my height is 1 m 8， was as thin as a pencil， does not want to be with a girl I was dating or kissing me because they think I looked funny。 One day I chat with small partners， and I told them that one day I will go to the NBA game， you guess what they react， they laughed at me， they laughed at my dream。 They told me that Sean you too thin， and you run fast， jump high is not enough， you absolutely can not go to the NBA to play， you absolutely can not fulfill your dreams。 As a 12—year—old boy I heard so I feel very sad because they do not recognize my dream。 So at that time I think I saw most of my own thoughts。 Every morning I got up and looked in the mirror， I asked myself： Sean， you are ready every day？ Today you have to make every effort to get close to dream a little， too。
Brush your teeth in my sleep at night， I also looked in the mirror to ask myself， do not want to think yesterday， tomorrow， just think today I was not away from my dream， my goal from almost a little bit of it？ Most of the time I can say yes。 I have every day in practice continue to practice， I progress little by little， when I was fourteen years old， I would have been nearly two meters tall。 After high school， I gradually began to succeed， then there is a basketball player named Chris Webber， he was the NBA's first draft， so I was a high school， when I was fourteen or so， five years old people around me told me that you can not always as good as Chris， because Chris is very strong， but also a great effort， but you run fast， jumping ability does not work， you will never be his。 But I was a kid， have heard such things， then how do I do it？
I looked in the mirror said to myself， "You know， just your own ideas is the most important"， so I'll continue to work hard。 In my high school graduation， I want to prepare to go to college， and I've won three statewide winner， but I'm still the nation's high schools throughout the year inside a star team， I was the most high school students nationwide great basketball player。 I later decided to enter into an American academic and college basketball very well， and that is Duke University。 You certainly can not think of when I apply for Duke， people say to me。 They say： "Oh， Sean， you're a basketball playing well， but you're in college， you should not be so good， because you slower， jump is not high， and you are not strong enough， you basketball consciousness is not strong enough。 "These words are my twelve years old， fourteen， five years old when I heard。 So how do I do that before， I was standing in the mirror， I asked myself， are you ready？ You go to those who question your proof that they are wrong， so I'll continue to struggle。 After the end of my four years of college， I decided to join the NBA。 I went to the NBA， people questioned again， they said Shawn your college is a good player， but you definitely can not be a good professional player， it is very surprising， very shocking it。 And how I do it？ I looked in the mirror told myself： Now is the time you continue to work hard。
So after twelve years， I stood in front of you， I've won two NBA championships， and I played in great teams there， and I make my dreams come true。 I think my story， the most wonderful part is to tell you that is not what I woke up one night I went to the NBA arena， not the case。 I have every small step along the way， until today's success， I was squeezed off， someone said I was not good enough， some people say I will never succeed， when my success in basketball， people always want to call me a basketball star， but for my own words in addition to basketball there are a lot of things。
I am very lucky that my parents are very emphasis on my education， but I have some friends and teachers， they will say： "Sean， you do not need to be a good student， as long as you play good basketball on the line 。 "I say，" No， I do not like this， I want to be a good student because I like to learn， like reading， I like to learn new things。 "the entire four years of high school in my time， my grades only got a B， the other is A。
I remember when I was little also played football， was a great stadium， should be a similar tournament game， and still fresh。 I was 12 years old， I was very nervous， I was afraid that they will make mistakes， but when I run with the ball always side kick， how far are running， you know my face is about sixty thousand spectators， I can not Faced with such a scene， I am sad to cry， but at least I tried， I tried， though I might fail， I fail in the harvest， may be greater than the gain from the success of the。
In fact， I played good baseball， my dad was my baseball coach， he told me that when you are in a team， whether it is baseball or basketball team or a club or a family， and if you have a good players， have a good team spirit。 You do not need them in the game is the fastest， jump the highest， or most prospective bidders， in order to be a good team player， you just need time to participate in daily practice。 Not only for yourself， but for your teammates， your family who you want as your father and mother， your sisters， your brothers， when they need to be able to， along with them， you will be filled with enthusiasm and passion to accomplish this。 I feel like this is very important to be successful， a lot of people always want to be a shining star。
They want to be James， Kobe Bryant wants to be， but I want to tell you， in a basketball team in the school community， in your orchestra， in a family which， in fact， no so—called superstars， each people have their own roles。 For James， the basketball court is concerned， he was going to throw the ball the highest score， get thirty。 His work is very important， equally important is for him to have a teammate to give him the ball to help him to support his work， and can not say that this role is secondary。 Because a win for the team， that role is crucial。 Some people would say that looking for a strong leafy harder than finding a superstar， no so—called superstars， or that everyone is a superstar， you have to let yourself become valuable， which allows you to become a valuable team one， in this place today， the reason is because I am a very strong green leaves。 Green leaves are my teammates， my team leaves， green leaves my organization， I am ready， I believe in myself， even though I suspect everyone crowding me， I will be ready for the opportunity， this could be your life's you want to learn the most important lesson。
My coach is one of the best the United States， he called Krzyzewski， he once said： "You'd better be ready the next game of the match， as on the basketball court， there are a lot of things will happen， for example， In the course of your dribble， suddenly what was tripped shoes， everyone laughing at you， so many TV stations in the country live your site for all to see， then， how would you do it？ you you sit there crying， would say I was too ashamed tripped， everyone laughing at me？ No， certainly not like this。 then how should you do it？ you just stand up and continue to the next race， the next a game is the most important。 "I certainly want to be the next game in the tournament， which is a very important mode of thinking。 If we are able to form such a mode of thinking， make you a lifetime， you will always be able to continue to lay a game。 Seize the next opportunity， and the realization of the next target。 When we have to have passion and enthusiasm to face the challenges before， and if you have been so insistent， you will definitely succeed， I'm sure you will succeed。
I want to thank everyone arrived， we hope to be able to ask some very interesting questions， sharp gentle questions。 Then I'm ready to answer your questions， thank you very much， thank you！
