励志英语演讲短文（汇集20篇）

A young friend of mine asked me in a letter, "What kind of man should I be?" My answer was, "Be a fighter."

Another friend of mine inquired, "How should I live my life?" Again my answer was, "Be a fighter."

The author of In Praise of the Fighter says:

Riding on the ceaseless rushing torrent of life, I should pursue and overtake it so as to create an even greater and deeper torrent of my own.

If I were a lamp, it would be my duty to light up thick darkness. If I were the sea tide, I would marshal rolling waves to cleanse the beach of all accumulated filth.

This quotation reflects aptly the state of mind of a lighter.

Fighters are badly needed in our time. But such fighters do not necessarily go to the battle- field gun in hand. Their weapons are not necessarily bullets. Their weapons may be knowledge, faith and strong will. They can bring the enemy sure death without drawing his blood.

A fighter is always in pursuit of light. Instead of basking in the sunshine under a clear sky, he holds a burning torch in the darkness of night to illuminate peoples way so that they can continue their journey till they see the dawn of a new day. It is the task of a fighter to dispel darkness. Instead of shirking darkness, he braves it and fights the hidden demons and monsters therein. He is determined to wipe them out and win light. He knows no compromise. He will keep on fighting until he wins light.

A fighter is perennially young. He is never irresolute or inactive. He plunges deep into teeming crowds in search of such vermin as flies and venomous mosquitoes. He will fight them relentlessly and refuse to coexist with them under the same sky. To him, life means nothing but continuous fighting. He either survives by winning light, or perishes with his body covered all over with cuts and bruises. In the course of the struggle, it is the "future" that serves as the beacon light to him; the "future" gives people hope and inspiration. He will never lose his youthful vigour.

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 freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .

Youth means a temperamental 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 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 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 of beauty , 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 at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.

Thank you!

[英语谚语励志

转眼间，小升初到来了，我的英语学习计划也实施的更加顺利。我相信，只有一个良好的学习计划，才能让我的英语更加出色。

晨起听磁带、背单词，午后读书籍，晚上做练习 ，这些都已是习惯了。坚持下来，我的英语在听、说、读、写四大块上都有了全方面的提高，也能应付猛虎般的试题了——

听磁带，是纠正我们英语发音的一个重要途径。每天模仿磁带里的语音和口吻读，久而久之就会成为一种习惯。有了标准的读音，就不会再为音标题而发愁了。

阅读也是必不可少的一部分，英语书籍、英语杂志、英语小文，都是很好的英语阅读的选择。这样做，既可以开阔视野、增长见识，让我了解更多外国的风俗和习性。更可以学习到更多的英语单词。读得多了，我在对英语的阅读理解上也会有很大的提高。让英语水平步步高升。

我还将购买一些七年级的英语众享课程，和名师面对面学习英语，也是在做一个英语的拔高。这样可以提前学习初中的内容，让我在升学后迅速适应。也为升学考试时的“突击题”做防备，让成绩更加理想。我将把英语的句型结构和表达方法深深地印在脑海里，努力学好每一词、走好每一步。

我在博客里发了2篇英语小文，虽说在语法上还有错误，但在校讯通里热心的老师的指点下，最终改正了过来。我以后也会多多注意这些用法，争取下次不再犯相同的错误。我相信，一点一滴的积累，最终会化为知识传输到大脑里的。学习之余我还会多多学习博友们的英语作文，好进行对比与学习。

此外，我还要搜集一些名校真题，抽出时间练习一下。只有对自己意中的学校的试题有一个大体了解，把握才能更大。其次，我可以从每次试题的错误中查漏补缺，及时弥补自己的不足之处。

英语是升学考试中必不可少的一门学科，我将不懈努力，向着理想的中学，冲刺！

if you want to understand adversity, take two identical acorns from the same oak tree and plant them in two different locations. plant the first in the middle of a dense forest, and the other on a hill by itself.

要是你想理解什么是逆境，就去拿两颗从同一棵树上摘下来年龄相同的橡树果，并且把它们种到不同的地方。第一颗种在浓密的树林当中，而另外一颗则单独种在一座山上。

heres what will happen. the oak standing on a hillside is exposed to every storm and gale. as a result its roots plunge deep into the earth and spread in every direction, even wrapping themselves around giant boulders. at times it may seem the tree isnt growing fast enough—but the growth is happening underground. its as if the roots know they must ported the tree from the threatening elements.

事情的结果便是这样。那颗长在山上的橡树经历了大风大雨，结果它的根深深地扎进了泥土中间，并不断向四周扩张，甚至把自己置身于巨大的石块当中。有时它可能看起来长的不是很快，但这时它却在地下悄悄生长着，好像它的根知道自己必须快速生长来保护树木免受自然危害的影响。

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! You know all this is real as long as you are confident,passionate and committed! And you are confident, you are passionate, you are 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 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! I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed! I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed!

WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY

The secret of success (The key to success) is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win (get) the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure.

It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing (nothing difficult) in the world. if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.

The biggest difficulty for me is to learn Chinese. Oh, god, it is so hard. There are so many Chinese and every word has many meanings. What s worse, the same pinyin may have various meanings and intonation also makes great difference. I don t know how to open my mouth. Although there are many people help me, I still feel it difficult to learn well.

我在美国出生并且呆了四年。但在庆祝完我四岁生日后，我父母决定回到中国。回到中国，我遇到了很多困难。对我来说最大的困难就是学习中文。哦，上帝，太难了。汉字实在太多了，而且每个字又有很多意思。更严重的是，同一个拼音还可以有不同的意思而且音调不一样，差别也很大。我都不知道如何开口了。虽然有很多人帮我，但我还是觉得很难学好。

今年暑假里，我同爷爷奶奶一起到北京参加为学杯作文决赛夏令营活动。

2014年7月13日的晚上， 在主题为《坚持的力量》励志演讲的报告会上，张立勇以自身为例，围绕“惜时、勇气、坚持”六个字，用朴实无华的语言，向我们介绍了他自己如何从一名因家庭贫困高二辍学的学生，从一名农民工，一名普通的厨师，在信念的支撑下，数十年如一日地坚持自学英语，自学通过英语等级考试，托福考试取得630分的骄人成绩，完成了人生的一次次超越的故事令我难忘。

张立勇老师说：“在我学习的时候，最大的困难是有人嘲笑我癞蛤蟆想吃天鹅肉。可是我没有在他们的嘲笑声中退缩，而是更加坚定了自己自学的决心。我学了一段时间之后，感觉还不错，于是，我又动了想参加自学考试的念头，为了实现这个梦想，我为自己制定长大了学习计划。“

有人问他，你是怎么实现自己的学习计划的?张立勇老师又说：”我是一个厨师平时要买菜做饭，没有整块的时间让我学习，我就利用一天三顿饭的时间学习，我给自己规定别人吃饭15分钟，我只用7分钟的时间，剩下的8分钟用来学习，一天就有24分钟的时间，这些时间，我都是躲在碗柜后面学习，为的是不让别人看见。三年的时间，我读了清华大学的新课程教材，背英语都是在 饭后8分钟时间完成的，功夫不负有心人，在大学英语四级考试时，我以637分的高分拿到了四级证书。“

张立勇老师接着又说：”考了四级证书之后，我又有了想法，考托福。人们都说考托福难，我认为：不是美国人出的题难，而是你能不能坚持到底，永不放弃!”他接着说：“我想懒是实现梦想的最大的障碍勇气与坚持可以改变自己，有知识才有勇气，勇气也等于运气。张立勇说：”勤奋+勇气+运气+坚持=成功。你要想成功请你享受人间的痛苦与困难吧!享受困难享受煎熬，油炸与水煮的东西就是不一样因为油炸都将水分炸掉了克己才能在自己的字典里永远没有失败!我是一个厨师，一天到晚我喝的是坚持牌自来水用的是爱心牌味精爱的调料健康牌锅。最终我以630的成绩，比清华大学的学生整整高了30分轰动了整个清华大学。

听了张立勇老师的报告之后，我与张立勇老师合影，张立勇老师又为我签名，并且送给我“坚持” 两个字。

在这次演讲中，张立勇老师强调了三点：1、在学习中一定要有胆识，要相信勇敢的力量。2、要做时间的经纪人，要学会安排管理自己的时间。3、要相信坚持的力量，Nothing is impossible，不管做什么工作，在什么样的环境之下，只要有一颗愿意上进的心，保持一种上进的状态，然后付诸自己的实际行动，想做的事，就都是可以实现的。演讲中张立勇与我们热情互动，交流英语学习心得，介绍他自己学习英语的实用学法，通过自己几段有趣经历阐述了英语在工作生活中的重要性，他用自己刻苦自学来鼓励我们坚持学习，提倡学习改变命运，奋斗成就人生，知识就是力量，张立勇的学习韧性和执着精神令我终身难忘!

那就是张立勇老师的报告，让我明白了一个道理：学习改变命运，奋斗成就人生，上帝对待每一个人都是公平的，它会用不同的方式对你付出的艰辛和努力给予补偿。但上帝只钟爱那些自强不息的人，如果你不努力，不拼搏，所有的机会都会和你失之交臂。如果放弃了对人生理想与人生价值的追求，那么当机遇到来的时候，又怎么可能把握得住呢?

张立勇老师勤奋读书、勇于拼搏的精神深深地震撼了我的心灵，极大地激发了我的学习热情，我要珍惜眼前的大好时光，反思自身平时的不足，张立勇在那样艰苦条件下能成才，我没有理由不好好读书!

我将迎来人生一次次“考试”，只有在关键时刻更加勤奋努力、扎扎实实地学习，才能有象张立勇老师一样创造奇迹!

桑德斯上校退休后拥有的所有财产只是一家靠在高速公路旁的小饭店。饭店虽小，但颇具特色，与众不同。可最受欢迎的、也是客人最爱吃的一道菜就是他发明烹制的香酥可口的炸鸡，仅此就给他带来了一笔可观的财富。多年来，他的客人一直对他烹制的炸鸡赞赏有加。可是令他万万没想到的是，由于高速公路改道别处，饭店的生意突然间也一落千丈，最后只好关门歇业。被逼无奈，桑德斯上校决定向其他饭店出售他制作炸鸡的配方，以换取微薄的回报。

在推销的过程中，没有一家饭店愿意购买他的配方，并且还不时地嘲笑他。一个人在任何年龄被人嘲笑都不是件令人愉快的事，更何况到了退休的年龄还被人嘲笑，这就更令人难以接受了。而这恰恰发生在了桑德斯上校身上。他不但被人嘲笑并且接连不断地被人拒绝，可见这些经历对他的影响有多么巨大。但他始终没有放弃，在没有找到买主之前，他开着车走遍了全国，吃住都在车上，就在被别人拒绝了1009次后，才有人终于同意采纳他的想法，购买他的配方。从此后他的连锁店遍布全世界;也被载入了商业史册。这就是肯德基的由来。

人们为了纪念这位桑德斯上校，就在所有的肯德基店前树立一尊他的塑像，以此作为肯德基的形象品牌。俗话说：“神枪手是一枪一枪打出来的!”缺乏坚持不懈的毅力或者认为自己不能得到自己想要的东西，这两者都是阻碍大多数人勇于改变的关键原因。如果你能够紧紧抓住自己的目标不放并坚持不懈，那么很快你就会超过大多数人。记住，是你掌握着自己的生活。如果你一心想达到一个目标，就一定会有办法取得成功。
