Firstly, be determined to return to and serve for society, and diligent to enrich lives. “Work creates wealth and diligence changes lives.” Whatever life path is and whatever careers you choose, we need to stick to your dream, face up to the fact with healthy mind and confront lives with positive attitude. We had better closely combine your dream with the fate of our country and the interests of our nation. We need to constantly shorten the distance between ideal and fact during the ordeal of your diligent work. Based on the facts, we need to do things from trivial stuffs and endeavor to pursuit excellence and create first-class in our ordinary jobs. We have to brave enough to take on heavy responsibilities, overcome difficulties and dare to show ourselves in the hardest places. Hope we can lower our prospect to get an object, deepen our foundation to obtain a space, and postpone our enjoyment to achieve a career.

The lives and practices in our university lay the foundation for realizing our ideals and succeeding in our career. The society is an everlasting university, and we have to learn diligently, practice constantly and explore hard. Only if we set up profound ideals, shoulder the magnificent mission of national revitalization, link the profound ideals to the realistic style, diligent to practice, determine to move forward, dare to innovate and cooperate with others can we catch the invaluable historic opportunities and explore a space for ourselves in work.
三要勇对竞争,迎接挑战。“物竞天泽、适者生存”。未来会有很多艰辛和不如意,希望同学们要学会在顺境中居安思危,逆境中坚忍不拔,迎接挑战、追求卓越,努力成为社会中最积极、最活跃、最有生气也最有潜力的力量。人生充满了希望与机遇,更将面对无数的挫折和挑战。挫折是人
生的宝贵财富,胜利的鲜花只为勇士盛开,只有充满勇气和信心,敢于面对挑战,勇往直前的人,才是生活的强者,才能是自己命运的主宰。
Thirdly, be brave to face the competition and welcome the challenge. “Survival of the fittest”。There are lots of hardships and unsatisfactory in the future. Hope we could learn to be prepared for danger in the time of safety while to be indomitable in time of difficulties. We should welcome the challenge, pursuit excellence and endeavor to be the most active, energetic, dynamic and potential strength in our society. Our lives fill with hopes and opportunities and we will face up to countless setbacks and challenges. Setbacks are the invaluable treasures of our lives. The victory flowers are only for the brave soldiers. The one who is brave and confident, dare to confront challenges and move forward bravely is the superman of lives and can control his or her lives by himself or herself.

Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money, it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative efforts, the joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. These dark days, my friends, will be worth all they cost us, if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered on to , but to minister to ourselves, to our fellow men.
幸福并不在于单纯的占有金钱,幸福还在于取得成功后的喜悦,在于创造努力时的激情。务必不能再忘记劳动带来的喜悦和激励,而去疯狂追逐那转瞬即逝的利润。如果这些黯淡的日子能使我们认识到,我们真正的使命不是要别人侍奉,而是要为自己和同胞们服务的话,那么,我们付出的代价是完全值得的。

Honorable Judges, fellow students:
Good afternoon!
Recently, ther is a heated debate in our society. The college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at
extraordinary places. But will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? Will we be able to better the lives of others? Will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country?
The cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort. But the cynics are wrong. The college students I see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. We help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money.
The cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; and we neglect the need for character cultivation. But again, the cynics are wrong. We care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth. Last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.
As college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives. We all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country. I believe in all my fellow classmates. Though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish. I believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities. We are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place. I believe

Interpersonal communication is like a mirror. To get respect from others, you must first respect others! Everyone is equal, and the President and the worker are just different. Everyone has his own thoughts and personality, which is sacred and inviolable. We should maintain respect for others, and take one heart to change another heart, create a harmonious society that is harmonious, friendly and respectful to each other.
When you see the newly cleaned classroom, the student's waste paper gets dirty; A spotless road, sticky with sputum. Students, are you angry and disgusted? Yes, these involuntary vices are annoying and annoying. We are already middle school students, such low-level mistakes can not be made again! The first book we got after we got into the middle school was the code of civilized student civilization. Middle school students, the code of practice, the specification is an old topic, but we can't forget, to keep the code of civilization firmly in the heart, always remember!
Liang qichao, a young man with a strong youth and a rich young man, told us more than 100 years ago that our generation's children are very important to the vicissitudes of the motherland. In the beginning, sex is good. We are the seeds of our motherland. For ourselves, for the future, we must stay away from smoke, wine, drugs and all evil. Don't let darkness trample upon our pure hearts, and keep all the dust out of us!
We are like the sun at that time, full of vitality and hope, let us act, be a kind, pure, respected good youth!

If without the support of others to you there is no group of policy strength of each member of the team we will not be able to overcome the heavy obstacles through behing XianGuan. Left the team even though you pulled out all the stops in front of difficulties will eventually be exhausted one day.

security issue may sound clichéd, but when it comes to the campus security, we have to take it seriously. nearly every day, there are reports to the security office on campus that valuable things are stolen away.
a surrounding with stealing, mugging can’t be worse for studying. in such cases, what measures should be taken to improve the campus security?
on the one hand, we students should strengthen our security awareness. once we smell out something unusual, we should report it to the campus guard immediately. on the other hand, more equipment such as monitors should be installed on campus so as to detect crimes as soon as possible.
besides, a proper amount of security guards should be arranged to patrol the campus。 in my opinion, campus security will be improved as long as efforts are made on campus. therefore colleges and universities should try their best to make everyone on campus safe and sound

ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon! i?m very glad to stand here and giveyou a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. i hope you will like it , andfound the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.
first i want to ask you some questions: 1、 do you know what is youth? 2、how do you master your youth?
youth
youth 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 freshnessit is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of theappetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60more than a boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years . we growold 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 being ?s heart the lure ofwonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what?s next and the joy of the gameof living . in the center of your heart and my heart there?s a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and powerfrom men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
when the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows ofcynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but aslong as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you maydie young at 80. that?s all ! thank you!

In my memory, though my hometown is a small village, it is very beautiful.When I was small, I liked to caught fish in the river, the water was so cleanthat I could see the fish. As I miss my hometown so much, last week, I went backto my hometown, I found the place in my memory was not like what it was. Thetrees were not that numerous, the roads became bigger, while there was lessplace for the river, I saw some dead fish in the river, the water was dirty, theriver pollution was so serious! I couldn't believe it, the beautiful hometownwas destroyed by the pollution, it is people's ambition results in it, theychase for the profit at the cost of polluting the environment. I wish people canpay attention to protect the environment, they are saving themselves, too.

A Brother Like That A Brother Like That A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. "Is this your car, Mister?"
he said. Paul nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Christmas."
The boy was astounded. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing? Boy, I wish . . ."
He hesitated. Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels. "I wish,"
the boy went on, "That I could be a brother like that."
Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my car?"
"Oh yes, Id love that."
After a short ride, the boy turned with his eyes aglow, said, "Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?"
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?"
the boy asked. He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car. "There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day Im gonna give you one just like it . . . then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that Ive been trying to tell you about."
Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. That Christmas Eve, Paul learned what Jesus meant when he said: "It is more blessed to give . . . "

I love English. English language is now used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. Learning English makes me confident and brings me GREat pleasure.
When I was seven, my mother sent me to an English school. At there, I played games and sang English songs with other children . Then I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world.
Everyday, I read English following the tapes. Sometimes, I watch English cartoons.
On the weekend, I often go to the English corner. By talking with different people there, I have made more and more friends as well as improved my oral English.
I hope I can travel around the world someday. I want to go to America to visit Washington Monument, because the president Washington is my idol. Of course, I want to go to London too, because England is where English language developed. If I can ride my bike in Cambridge university, I will be very happy.
I hope I can speak English with everyone in the world. I'll introduce China to them, such as the GREat Wall, the Forbidden City and Anshan.
I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.
If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.

Thrift is the traditional virtue of our China, so my father and mother have taught me not to waste, and I am particularly obedient. In peacetime, my father and mother give me the pocket money in the "piggy and pig" storage tank. I never spend much time and save much, I will buy learning supplies.
On Sunday, there were some guests at home. Dad bought several bottles of beer to entertain guests. After the meal, I quickly put the empty wine bottle in a corner, plus the usual milk cartons, drink bottles, and some of the old newspapers and cartons in my home, and there was a lot of it! After finishing, I asked grandpa to help me and sell these waste products to the waste purchase station. The aunt of the purchasing station is straight, I am a sensible and economical child. I counted the money in my hand, which was 3 yuan and 8 cents. I can be happy and flattered to put money into the "little pig" jar.
I have to save more time this time, because I am going to buy a gift for grandpa who has been bringing me and caring for me, thanks for Grandpas affection for me. I will always be ready to donate this money to those who need help.
It is very good that the waste goods are sold, that is, to get money, and help the mother to clean up the home, and more important is that it will not cause pollution to the outside environment, is it not a stone? So I will always stick to my thrift and thrift.
From this, you should have known the benefits of thrift, too. Join me in action quickly, and you can also get unexpected results from it.

I believe it is in my nature to dance by virtue of the beat of my heart,the pulse of my blood and the music in my mind. So I dance daily.
The seldom-used dining room of my house is now an often-used ballroom — anopen space with a hardwood floor, stereo, and a disco ball. The CD-changer hassix discs at the ready: waltz, swing, country, rock-and-roll, salsa, andtango.
Each morning when I walk through the house on the way to make coffee, Iturn on the music, hit the "shuffle" button, and it's Dance Time! I dance aloneto whatever is playing. It's a form of existential aerobics, a movingmeditation.
Tango is a recent enthusiasm. It's a complex and difficult dance, so I'm upto three lessons a week, three nights out dancing, and I'm off to Buenos Airesfor three months of immersion in tango culture.
The first time I went tango dancing I was too intimidated to get out on thefloor. I remembered another time I had stayed on the sidelines, when the dancingbegan after a village wedding on the Greek island of Crete. The fancy footworkconfused me. "Don't make a fool of yourself," I thought. "Just watch."
Reading my mind, an older woman dropped out of the dance, sat down besideme, and said, "If you join the dancing, you will feel foolish. If you do not,you will also feel foolish. So, why not dance?"
And, she said she had a secret for me. She whispered, "If you do not dance,we will know you are a fool. But if you dance, we will think well of you fortrying."
Recalling her wise words, I took up the challenge of tango.
A friend asked me if my tango-mania wasn't a little ambitious. "Tango? Atyour age? You must be out of your mind!"
On the contrary: It's a deeply pondered decision. My passion for tangodisguises a fearfulness. I fear the shrinking of life that goes with aging. Ifear the boredom that comes with not learning and not taking chances. I fear thedying that goes on inside you when you leave the game of life to wait in thefinal checkout line.
I seek the sharp, scary pleasure that comes from beginning something new —that calls on all my resources and challenges my mind, my body, and my spirit,all at once.
My goal now is to dance all the dances as long as I can, and then to sitdown contented after the last elegant tango some sweet night and pass on becausethere wasn't another dance left in me.
So, when people say, "Tango? At your age? Have lost your mind?" I answer,"No, and I don't intend to."

我相信,随着心跳、脉搏以及心中的音乐去跳舞是我的天性。所以我每天都跳。
我屋子里那个很少使用的餐厅,现在经常被用来作“舞厅”——一个铺着硬木地板、配有立体音响装置的迪厅。我的换片箱里备好了6张碟片:华尔兹、摇摆、乡村、摇滚、萨尔萨和探戈。
每天早上,在去煮咖啡的路上,我都把音乐打开,并摁下“随机”键。跳舞的时间到了!不管放的是什么曲子,我都会随着曲子独自起舞。这是一种关乎存在的增氧运动,一种动起来的沉思。
探戈最近很火爆。这是一种很复杂的比较难跳的舞,所以我一周要上三次课,花三个晚上出去跳舞,我还打算去布宜诺斯艾利斯待三个月,接受探戈文化的浸礼。
第一次去上探戈舞蹈课的时候,我非常害怕,都不敢到地板上去。我还记得,有一次,在希腊克里特岛上,一场乡村婚礼之后,舞会开始了,而我却一直待在旁边不敢跳。那高超的步法让我眼花缭乱。“别做傻事了,”我想,“就看看吧。”
一位年龄比我还大的女士看出了我的想法,她从舞场中退出来,坐在我旁边说,“如果加入这场舞会,你会觉得很傻。如果你不加入,你一样会觉得很傻。既然这样,干吗不跳?”
然后,她说她要告诉我一个秘密。她低声说道:“如果你不跳,我们就会知道你是个傻瓜。可是如果你跳了,我们就会因为你的尝试而觉得你很棒。”
听了这席话,我接受了探戈的挑战。
一个朋友问我,我对探戈的嗜好是不是有点儿太狂野了。“探戈?你这个年龄?你一定是精神不正常了!”
恰恰相反:这是我深思熟虑之后的决定。我对探戈的热情掩盖了一种害怕。我害怕生命随着年龄的增长而缩短。我害怕因为不再学习、不再冒险而产生的无聊。我害怕在退出生命之局而等着末日审判的过程中,你体内发生的死亡。
我追寻那种随着新事物而产生的,尖锐而略带惊吓的喜悦——这就要求我全身心投入,对我的心智、身体和勇气同时进行挑战。
我现在的目标就是:跳完所有我能跳的舞蹈,然后,在某个甜蜜的夜晚,跳完最后一支优雅的探戈后,满意地坐下来,离开世界——因为我体内没有一支没有跳过的舞了。
所以,当人们说,“探戈?你这个年龄?精神不正常吧?”我便回答:“没有啊,我可不想不正常。”

Attention,please:
okay, same thing is true in our workplaces. now, most of us work in open plan offices, without walls, where we are subject to the constant noise and gaze of our coworkers. and when it comes to leadership, introverts are routinely passed over for leadership positions, even though introverts tend to be very careful, much less likely to take outsize risks -- which is something we might all favor nowadays.
now in fact, some of our transformative leaders in history have been introverts. i'll give you some examples. eleanor roosevelt, rosa parks, gandhi -- all these peopled described themselves as quiet and soft-spoken and even shy. and they all took the spotlight, even though every bone in their bodies was telling them not to. and this turns out to have a special power all its own, because people could feel that these leaders were at the helm, not because they enjoyed directing others and not out of the pleasure of being looked at; they were there because they had no choice, because they were driven to do what they thought was right.
