+ 加入清单Last week, I took part in an English speech contest which was held by our teachers. There were twelve students in the final contest. I was one of them.
Fifteen minutes before my turn, I picked my topic and prepared for it. I wrote down the outlines and organized what I was going to say. However, when I stood in front of all judges and students, I was extremely nervous. My mind was totally empty.
Then I took a deep breath to relax myself and started my speech. The result was not as good as I expected, but I preferred to regard it as a challenge to myself, whose process was the most important for me. I can learn a lot from this contest. I am sure I will be better next time.

篇1:演讲稿:祖国在我心中_600字
全文共 545 字
+ 加入清单敬爱的老师,亲爱的同学:
大家好!今天我要演讲的题目是《祖国在我心中》。祖国,是每个中国人伟大的母亲,她一步步走到今天,已饱经沧桑。中国,从一个被帝国主义欺凌的国家变成一个万众瞩目的国家。这一切,都归功于为新中国成立而抛头颅、洒热血的革命先烈,和为新中国成立做出贡献的人!
翻开历史的书页,我们看到了如今强大的中国那坎坷不平的曾经:八国联军火烧圆明园;令人疾心痛首的南京大屠杀;虎门上升起的硝烟展开了一段激烈的战争。……这些都是我们不能忘记的耻辱,铭记这些,以史为鉴。如今,东方雄狮已经从噩梦中苏醒,发出一声令世界颤抖的吼叫!
中国近代正在飞速发展:从2008年在北京举行的奥运会到2010年在广州举办的亚运会,见证了中国经济发展的速度;我国的科技发展更是值得一提,“嫦娥一号”、“神舟一号”、“天宫一号”等飞船已经陆续发射上太空,中国的科技已经名列前茅,中国正在不断强大、发扬起来!中国,这条东方的巨龙已经在黑暗中散发万丈光芒,一座座高楼拔地而起;凹凸不平的小路消失了,取之而代的是一条条沥青马路。。。。。。
我看着祖国伟大的成就,看着祖国火箭般的发展,由衷的觉得,我们作为21世纪新时代的少年,应该努力学习,接过革命先辈的接力棒,挑起建设祖国的重任,让祖国日益强大起来!
我的演讲完毕,谢谢大家!

篇3:关于成功的英语演讲稿
全文共 2040 字
+ 加入清单Success Is What?What is successThis is an old topic. However,However, everyone’s understanding of success is quite different. Some people think that having money, house, car, a woman is successful. Some people think that success is doing something that you want to do. Some even deny the existence of success, he thinks this world is not successful, only the endless pursuit.So I want to make a new definition of success: Success is something that people are very eager to do good things gained a sense of satisfaction and excitement. Therefore, we do things, no matter big and small, as long as you want to do, and through your efforts made, and you happy, then you succeeded. Do not look too far successful, they should not be too easy to see success, success requires your effort. Those who believe that successful people do not exist, in fact, continue to define new goals, they will from what they have done to get happy, they succeeded.(
In order to become successful, you should first of all be both perseverance and hardworking. As you know, whatever you do, there are always two possible results: success and failure. When you fail, you should never lose heart. On the contrary, you must build up your confidence and work even harder. You should always keep in mind that perseverance is the mother of success and industry is the key to it. In addition, you should pay great attention to your work method. It is necessary for you to sum up your experience constantly and improve the efficiency of your work. Finally, it is important for you to get along well with your co-workers, care for each other and help each other. If you follow these principles, you will certainly achieve remarkable success in thefuture.
In my opinion, success means achieving brilliant results in ones work, that is, making outstanding contributions to the development of the country and bringing happiness to the people. So my conclusion is that even if one has made great progress in what he does, I don’t think there’s any reasons for him tobeconceited.
篇4:新学期新打算演讲稿
全文共 580 字
+ 加入清单大家好,今天我演讲的题目是《新学期,新目标》同学们,请不要厌烦都要演讲这个题目呢?是因为目标是人生的导航,而为什么又要不断的更新目标呢?是因为你的目标已经完成了它的使命,所以你要更新目标。没有了目标,你的生活会像沙漠一样没有方向。
有这样一个故事:一百多年前,一位穷苦的牧羊人带着他的两个孩子来到山坡上,一群大雁从他们的头顶上飞过,并很快消失在远方。小儿子问父亲:“大雁要飞往哪里?”牧羊人说:“他们要去一个温暖的地方,在那里安家,度过寒冷的冬天。”大儿子眨着眼睛羡慕地说:“要是我们也能像那样飞起来该多好呀!”牧羊人沉默了一会儿对两个儿子说:“只要你们想,你们也能飞起来。”两个儿子试了试,都没有飞起来,他们用怀疑的目光看着父亲。牧羊人却肯定地说:“只有插上理想的翅膀,树立了坚定的目标,才可以飞向你们想去的地方。”两个儿子牢牢记住了父亲的话,并一直向目标努力着,奋斗着。后来,他们果然飞了起来,他们发明了飞机。他们就是美国著名的莱特兄弟。可见,没有目标和梦想不行,光说不做也不行,只有经过不懈的努力和不断的挫折,才能够成就目标和理想。 Ideal can bring everyone joy。 理想可以使人快乐,当然,也可以使人成功,在学习和生活中,只要有目标。就有了拼搏的动力,有了动力就有无穷无尽的力量去克服困难,从而获得成功。 我的演讲完毕谢谢大家!
篇5:两学一做讲规矩守纪律演讲稿
全文共 1318 字
+ 加入清单尊敬的各位领导、各位评委,大家好:
我是来自镇财政所的xxx,感谢各位领导能够给我站在台上演讲的机会。我今天要演讲的题目是《“守纪律、讲规矩、作表率”不忘誓言》。
人不以规矩则废,党不以规矩则乱。对于一个党员,纪律是高压线;对于一个政党,纪律是生命线。
“要加强纪律建设,把守纪律讲规矩摆在更加重要的位置”,习近平总书记在十八届中央纪委五次全会上的讲话,再次强调了严明纪律的重要意义,提出了纪律建设的明确要求,指出了党风廉政建设和反腐败斗争的着力方向。各级党组织对政治纪律和政十佳大学生演讲稿:治规矩,要十分明确地强调、十分坚定地执行;广大党员、干部必须牢固树立纪律和规矩意识,做政治上的“明白人”,要做到“心中有党,心中有民,心中有责,心中有戒。”
“欲知平直,则必准绳;欲知方圆,则必规矩。”没有规矩不成其为政党,更不成其为马克思主义政党。一个松松垮垮、稀稀拉拉的组织,是不能干事,也干不成事的。但在现实中,仍有少数党员、干部不守纪律、不讲规矩,或是搞团团伙伙、拉帮结派,或是口无遮拦、乱评妄议,或是自由散漫、目无组织,或是欺上瞒下、弄虚作假,或是说情拉票、跑风漏气。凡此种种,在党内和社会上造成恶劣影响,给党的事业造成严重损害。这些问题如果不下大力气整治,十佳大学生演讲稿:就会像传染病一样蔓延开来,最终严重危害党的肌体。
最近,市纪委监察部门公布处理的一些违法乱纪人员,有基层农村党支部书记、村委会主任、福利院院长、学校校长、还有司法部门调解员,这些人大部分都是因为贪污、挪用公款、公款旅游吃喝、违反财经规定等,无视党纪国法,将国家和人民利益抛置于脑后不顾。
今年一季度,全省处理874人,给予党纪政纪处分531人。不管是公车私用、开会不守纪律,还是大到公款旅游、滥发津补贴、大操大办婚丧嫁娶,只要出现苗头问题或轻微违纪的,都不能姑息纵容,要及时大喝一声、猛击一掌,使其幡然醒悟、回归正途。
“一个放弃了政治旗帜十佳大学生演讲稿:,放弃了理想信念,放弃了思想武装和敌我意识,最终迷失了自己,也迷失了对手的政党,一个不是自我完善,而是自我否定,不是锐意进取,而是固步自封,不是相信人民的力量,而是相信西方神话进而失去了执政根基的政权,一步步走向衰落和覆亡是必然的。”
一个国家的根本是什么?是他的人民。怎么办?要相信人民,依靠人民,必须从意识形态抓起,大力建设共产党队伍的纯洁性,改变自己信仰的唯一障碍就是意识形态。
省委书记李鸿忠强调,“我们宁愿听到平日的抱怨声,也不愿听到高墙内的悔恨声。”省委常委、省纪委书记侯长安要求,“把抓早抓小、教育挽救干部作为强化监督执纪问责、深入纠正‘四十佳大学生演讲稿:风’的出发点和落脚点。”
为此,全省各级党委、纪委狠抓常态教育“咬耳朵”、下发禁令“提提醒”、约谈函询“扯袖子”、从严查处“强震慑”,监督执纪问责坚持从苗头抓起,从小处着眼,严查严管,防止小错酿成大错。
任何一个执政党在领导国家发展的过程中,都会存在着一些问题,中国共产党也不内外。让我们不忘当初入党的誓言,时刻保持警惕,严明政治纪律,严守政治规矩,把握好做人的基本道德底线,继续努力,随时准备着为党和人民牺牲一切!为共产主义奋斗终身!
谢谢大家!
篇6:难忘一次演讲[300字]
全文共 456 字
+ 加入清单我们本单元的演讲主题是:值得怀念的一个人。我选择了梁启超,并参加了“小小金话筒”演讲大赛的初赛。
我事先精心准备了PPT并把演讲稿子背得滚瓜烂熟,准备在演讲时大显身手。我下台后得意洋洋地想:“这次演讲我肯定会被选上的,哈哈哈······”就在我美滋滋地想着的时候,一个端庄洪亮的声音打破了我的幻想。“今天我为大家演讲的人物是:孙中山先生······”哦!原来是陈同学,他声音响亮、浑厚,还富有感情。他的声音时而重,时而轻,时而语速慢,时而语速轻,时而语速快。虽然他没有做PPT,但听了他的演讲后,我仿佛身临其境——平易近人的孙中山先生的脸就浮现在我眼前······
最后的比分结果可想而知,我落选了,而陈同学被选上了。对这个结果,我心服口服。
这次演讲让我又高兴又遗憾。高兴的是我学习到了许多:我要多学习同学们好的优点,多参加比赛,多听,多读,多看,对自己各方面高要求,才会终有获得成功的时候。遗憾的是这一次的演讲决赛我毕竟和它擦肩而过。但我心中任有一个疑问:如果我演讲时感情色彩丰富了,也有动作了,同学们还会选我吗?
篇7:纪念五一劳动节演讲稿
全文共 671 字
+ 加入清单亲爱的同学们:
高尔基曾说:我们世界上最美好的东西,都是由劳动、由人的聪明双手创造出来的。其实我们生来就是一群劳动者,是劳动让我们创造出了这个七彩世界。是劳动,让田野瓜果处处飘香,是劳动,让红领巾喜悦地飘进知识的海洋。
许多同学认为劳动就是指体力劳动。那错了。它包含体力劳动和脑力劳动,它赠予人类许多骄傲,许多辉煌,也给中国历史留下不少闪光的华章铭文,如司马迁多年努力编成了《史记》,李时珍寻寻觅觅终得《本草纲目》……再如神州七号、八号的成功发射是经过许多科学家几年的努力才换来的。可见劳动价值之大。
无穷的知识都是劳动的结晶,任何成就都是刻苦劳动的结果。我们应付诸行动,相信只要肯刻苦劳动,那所得到的将是更宝贵的财富。对于我们小学生而言,现在正是学习阶段,学习也是一种劳动,在这段过程中,我们可能会遇到许多诱惑,许多困难。请不要畏惧,不要退缩,把目光放长远,那样,在求学路上,你就不会那么轻易地被困难所打败。要时刻铭记:一分耕耘,一分收获。我们所获得的知识都是老师诲人不倦的教育和自己刻苦学习的成果。
同学们,热爱劳动更是中华民族的传统美德,我们理应将它传承下去。在我们的校园里,每天都涌动着一群值日的同学,每天都有人在默默地打扫卫生,每天都有人随手捡起地上的垃圾……是他们共同创造了整洁的校园环境,让我们得以在清新的校园里快乐地学习。
同学们,五一劳动节刚刚过去,让我们从身边做起,从现在做起,随手捡起地上的垃圾,轻轻放入筒内。认真仔细地完成每一项作业,做个真正的好学生。我们是劳动者,更是未来世界的主人,那就让我们用心感受世界,用行动美化世界吧!

朋友,如果我问你什么是最高兴的事,也许你回答出各种各样的答案,但是,你无论如何也不会想到我们一位战士的回答,他说是“见到人”,见到人是最高兴的事。是啊,也许你会觉得诧异,但这却是酒泉卫星发射中心专用铁路巡线员的真实写照。这是今年春节我在军报上看到的一篇感人的--不!应该说是震撼心灵的报道。
自从我国在巴丹吉林沙漠深处建起酒泉卫星发射中心,就有了一条横穿戈壁、直达发射场的300公里的专用铁路。它是现在全国惟一一条由军队管理的铁路。路边上,孤零零有几座被称为“点号”的小屋,“点号”四周,沙海无边,荒凉得象月球,只有几丛骆驼刺在寒风中颤抖。“点号”里,就蹲着三两个长年巡线护路的兵。他们每天与外界交往的时间是一分钟。因为每天有趟军用列车路过这里,扔下点邮件和给养,停留一分钟。这就是他们见到人的惟一时刻。日复一日、年复一年的寂寞,这一分钟也就成了他们久久盼望的、也是他们最最高兴的时刻。
今年大年初一,一位记者到被称为“180”的小点号采访,那里住着小赵和小张两个士兵。小赵是一位来自江苏的已有3年兵龄的老兵,他说,他每天要去巡线一趟,每趟来回走20公里,当兵三年,相当于步行回老家一趟。新兵小张是四川中江黄继光家乡的人,他到点号的第二次巡线就遇上被称作“黑风”的沙暴,天地间黑压压一片,沙石劈头盖脸往身上砸,他说他抱紧铁轨整整一小时不敢动弹,差点没被埋在沙包里。说话间,小赵的姐姐从老家打来了电话,姐姐问:“你那里过年热闹吗?”小赵说:“热闹得很,有3个人呢,还有一条大黄狗”。“你那里冷吗?”,“不冷,暖和得很,才零下20度”。“你都3年没有回家了,爸妈以为你今年能回来过年,特意杀了猪,还几次到路口去守公交车。”这时,小赵的喉头滚了好几下,愣了半天,终于没能“幽默”出来。当记者告辞时,他俩紧紧地握住记者的手,久久不想松开,眼睛里突然溢出泪光,那眼神似乎在不加掩饰的恳求着:再留一会儿吧,哪怕是一分钟!
啊,一分钟,多么令人心颤的一分钟!看到这儿,我的心被震撼了,泪水也止不住掉了下来。我想,别说他们在那里要为我国在世界高技术领域占有一席之地,为实现中华民族千百年来的“飞天”梦想而拼搏,就是呆在那儿,也是奉献。 是的,作为军人,我知道,在雪山,在海岛,在荒原,在戈壁,有无数与小赵小张一样的士兵,为了祖国的强盛和人民的安宁,在默默忍受着艰辛与寂寞。作为军人,我更懂得,是军人这特殊的职业赋予了军人特殊的使命,特殊的使命赋予了军人特殊的追求。军人,也许就意味着奉献与牺牲。 难道不是吗?翻开中国革命的历史画卷,不难发现,其中最引人注目的便是那些为了祖国和人民的利益而驰骋疆场、马革裹尸的军人。从万里长征、八年抗战、南征北战到自卫还击、抗震救灾、抗洪抢险,多少年来,这支人民的军队,在党的绝对领导之下,经受着无数次血与火的洗礼,一次又一次向党和人民交出合格的答卷!就说那300公里航天大动脉,当年修建时就有120名忠骨埋在了沙丘。
小时候,我曾羡慕穿身军装,现在我终于实现了这个梦想,如今,我又跨进全军的高等学府――国防科技大学的校门。在这里,我又读到许许多多的银河人,他们将银河精神在新时代高高奏响,为响应江总书记“科技强军”的号召,在夜以继日的、默默的耕耘与劳作。 周光铭院士在接受记者采访时说过这样一句话:“我一生也就做了六台机器。”朋友,你想想,这六台是什么样的机器啊!难道还不够吗?这,就是我们老一代银河人的骄傲!
在研制银河Ⅲ期间,卢锡城同志带领年轻人向新的技术制高点冲击,有11名同志是在攻关战斗中度过新婚蜜月的,不少人连续三次春节都在机房里度过。就是凭着这种精神,他们创造了新的辉煌。这,就是新一代银河人的自豪! 如今,再看看我这身军装,我应该掂得出她的份量。在新的历史时期,我们军队仍然肩负着重大的历史使命。放心吧,祖国,放心吧,人民,时间流逝,斗转星移,永远抹不去的就是战士对党和人民的一颗赤胆忠心!青山和大地会证明我们的忠诚,蓝天和白云会昭示我们的誓言,“奉献”,我们认了,“牺牲”,我们说值!那是因为,共和国军人的心中只有一个期盼,那就是:为了共和国明天的辉煌!

+ 加入清单巨匠好,我叫XX,是六年级3班一名小队员,今天,我演讲的问题问题是我的理想。
提起英国科学家爱迪生,巨匠必然不会感应目生吧,他是世界闻名的发现年夜王,他生平的发现有一千多种,我的理想就是成为一个像爱迪生一样的年夜发现家。
记得在三年级的课本中,我们就看到爱迪生为了搞发现差点弄瞎了眼睛,被列车长打聋了一只耳朵,还被硫酸销毁了一件衣服。可是,他钻研科学的决心没有晃悠,恰是这种执拗的精神、坚韧不拔的全力和看待进修的立场,使爱迪生成为了一个伟年夜的发现家。
我想,自己真的要想成为像爱迪生一样的发现家也要发扬他的不怕坚苦,执拗拼搏的精神,为此,我想做到四改暌怪己勤、恒、勇、思。“勤”就是曲恳,古今中外,凡是有作为的人无一不是曲恳全力的结不美观。“恒”就是恒心,有恒心才可望有成就。“勇”是在进修碰着坚苦时,要有勇于战胜坚苦的决心。“思”同样主要,进修永远是和思考连鲜ё仝一路的,而今天的“思考”还要敢于幻想,只有张开幻想的同党,发现缔造才可能成为现实。
一份垦植一份收成,为了实现理想,我会支出全力!
篇11:辛亥革命100周年演讲稿:辛亥革命, 振兴中华
全文共 941 字
+ 加入清单随着时光的流逝,历史的硝烟已经散尽,让我们把思绪回到那百年前神州大地的武昌城,我们耳边仿佛又响起那场轰轰烈烈的辛亥革命中隆隆的炮声,一副英雄的面孔仿佛又出现在我们的脑海里,是他们为真理与民主自由抛头颅、洒热血的革命行动,才有了我们今天来之不易的和平年代,他们是革命的先驱,我们应该永远缅怀他们。
百年前的神州大地正处于清王朝的统治晚期,在风雨飘摇的封建统治中,有一批接受了西方先进的文化与思想的青年,为了中华民族的自由与民主,悄然成立了一个个革命的团体。这些团体成为了革命的火种,成了日后可以燎原的星星之火。
20世纪初,武汉地区民族资本主义有了较快发展,民族资产阶级的力量不断壮大。由于各种近代学堂的设立,湖北出现了资产阶级知识分子群,他们成为革命的骨干。其次,武汉是帝国主义侵略较早的地区,帝国主义的掠夺和封建主义的压榨,使这里人民的反抗怒潮不断高涨,为武昌起义奠定了群众基础。第三,革命党人在武汉地区进行了较长期的起义准备。文学社、共进会深入湖北新军,做了大量宣传与组织工作。这样,武汉成了辛亥革命的摇篮。
文学社与共进会时那时的秘密革命团体,在湖北地区特别是湖北新军中积极活动,经过他们的争取,1911年,湖北新军中参加革命团体的达到五六千人,占湖北新军的三分之一,成为起义的主要力量。在同盟会的推动下文学社和共进会在武昌组成起义的领导机关,文学社社长蒋翊武任军事指挥,孙武任参谋长。十月九日,孙武等人在汉口俄租界制造炸弹发生爆炸,俄国巡捕闻声赶来,将起义用的旗帜、印信、书稿和革命党人的名册全部搜去,转交给清政府。革命党人彭楚潘、刘复基等被捕就义,蒋翊武幸免于难。
1911年10月10日,湖广总督在武昌实行全城戒严,按名册大肆搜捕革命党人。革命正处于群龙无首状态,形式极为严峻。一部分革命党人自行联络,继续发动起义。当晚,新军工程营的革命党人熊秉坤、金兆龙等率领士兵鸣炮冲出营房,占领楚望台军械库。震动中外的武昌起义爆发了。经过一夜的激战,革命军占领武昌。
虽然历史的硝烟已经散尽,但我们永远不要忘记先烈们的革命事迹。是他们为革命献身,才有了我们今天的和平年代。我们青年一代要牢记历史,放眼未来,好好学习,掌握更多知识。为了将来,为了民族,为了人民,为了祖国,作出自己最大的贡献。
篇12:家风家规的演讲稿
全文共 604 字
+ 加入清单每个家都有属于自己家的家风、家规、家训。说起我家的家风、家规、家训,从我懂事起,妈妈就告诉我做人的道理,首先要勤学,意思就是要好学,奋发学习;其次是上进,要不断地上进,用自己的实际行动证明,我能行;然后是诚实,不诚实的人,哪会让别人信任你呢;最后是善良,没有一颗善良的心,怎么能为别人着想?怎么会在别人有困难时去帮助他呢?
我要上小学了。我们一家人坐下来开了个家庭会议。爸爸说:“今天会议的内容就是讨论家风、家规、家训。目的就是想让你上学后能用它来约束自己管好自己。”我们讨论了很久,才确定下来,那就是尊敬长辈、孝顺父母、勤俭节约、自强自立、勤学、上进、诚实、善良。
小时候,每次上学校之前,妈妈总爱叮嘱我:“孩子,到学校千万别和同学打架,如果有人欺负你,就回来跟我说,我去找你们老师。”!妈妈生怕我在学校和同学发生矛盾,老是有事没事给我讲一些经典的故事,教育我遇事要宽宏大量,在学校要和老师、同学和睦相处,不要动不动就和他人发生冲突。在妈妈的教诲下,我没有和老师、同学发生过矛盾。现在,我已养成了尊敬长辈、孝顺父母、勤俭节约、自强自立等的好习惯。仔细想想,这些都和我们家的家风有着不可分割的关系。
上学以后,我无时无刻不牢记着家风、家规、家训,用它来约束自己。家是最小国,国是千万家”,我想如果每个家庭都拥有良好的家训和家规,代代传承成为家风,那么家风正则国运兴,千万正能量汇聚在一起,伟大的中国梦一定能够实现。
篇13:中学生新学期演讲稿550字
全文共 960 字
+ 加入清单时光轮回,万物更新。一个既漫长而又短暂的初一学年已然过去,经过一个暑假的休养,我们共同打开了新学期的扉页。李大钊先生曾经说过:人生最有趣味的事情,就是送旧迎新,因为人类最高的欲求,就是时时创造生活。那么,你们是否已经勾画好了新学期的蓝图呢,是否已经作好了充足的心理准备去迎接新学期的到来呢?
路还是昨天的路,但里程碑已是新的;歌还是昨天的歌,但今天唱出的更动听;太阳还是昨天的太阳,但它放射出的却是全新的光芒。当我们看着东方的第一抹朝阳时,是否应该检查一下自己:我的梦是否依然,我的心是否依旧飞扬?我们曾经拥有过辉煌,但那已成为枕边一段甜美的回忆;也许,我们也曾经遭受过挫折,但那已成为几滴苦涩的泪痕。忘记曾经的成功与失败,我们只需把经验和教训铭刻于心,让曾经的辉煌激励我们,过去的失败只是为了衬托未来的成功。
我们是**班的学生,“没有最好,只有更好”是我们的口号,“更高、更快、更强”是我们的宗旨。在教室里,可以轻易地看见同学们埋头苦干的身影,也能听见为一个问题争论不休的声音……但是,“没有最好,只有更好”,在知识的海洋里,我们永不满足。在这里,不得不提一下偏科的问题。当然,有这个问题的同学应该只是小部分,但这个问题较其他班更容易在奥班发生。众所周知,这是一个不好的现象,但个别同学因为其他科目在小学没打好扎实的基础,学起来并不那么得心应手。于是,他们把全部心思都放在了数学这一科身上,力争在这一领域创出自己的一片天地,因而放弃了其他的科目。在这里,我想介绍一个故事给大家,内容绝对真实,可能有部分同学会看过,因为,它就刊登在8月27号的广州日报上。讲述的是一个高中生,高二下学期考试全班排名29(并非失手),而经过一年的奋斗,在高三最后一次模拟考试与高考当中,都夺得了全班第一名。化学他一直学得不好,但下定决心努力后,仅两个月的时间他就取得了全年级第一,事实突破了他的想象空间,他的梦想开始远大。
他说,心理学上有一个名词,叫“自我实现的预言”,意思是,如果相信自己行,你最后就能行;如果怀疑自己不行,你就会退步。他还说,“要相信你的最好成绩,因为那是你抵达过的境界,如果你相信它,那么你一定会重新抵达那里”,还有“不必在意某一次偶然的失败,因为如果你在乎这次失常,就是相信了它,它将会成为你消极的预言,让你重演。”

大家好!今天我讲的主题是祖国在我心中。我们的祖国有许多屈辱的历史。比如:美丽的圆明园被八国联军摧毁成一片废墟,他们把奇珍异宝能拿走的都拿走,拿不走的就砸、摔。他们为了毁灭证据,就放火烧掉圆明园。大火整整烧了三天三夜。还有“九·一八”事变,日本侵略者不到三个月就攻占我国东北三省,还有全中国人民永远也忘不掉的“南京大屠杀”,几十万中国人民死在日本侵略者的枪口下。就在这时,中华儿女站起来了。有许多爱国人士为国效力:周恩来从小发奋读书,长大后为祖国效力;钱学森在外国时候,外国人用高薪水聘请钱学森,而钱学森拒绝高薪水回到祖国给祖国研发原子弹;董存瑞为了让部队快速前进,自己背着炸药包去炸碉堡,以身殉国;黄继光为了快速占领制高点,用自己的身体挡住敌人的机枪口,给大部队争取时间占领,以身殉国。
我们的祖国虽然有屈辱的历史,但也有光辉的成就。
古代时候没有文字,有个叫仓颉的人造出了汉字,一直流传至今。还有古代人造出的古建筑,比如:长城、颐和园、故宫、北京天坛、承德避暑山庄、秦兵马俑、武当山古建筑……
我们一定要好好学习,长大做一个对国家和社会有用的人!
我的演讲完毕,谢谢大家!

篇16:文明礼仪演讲稿:养成文明礼貌习惯,争做社会小标兵作文1100字
全文共 1201 字
+ 加入清单尊敬的各位评委,各位老师,亲爱的同学们:
大家好!
你们也许会看到一些身强力壮的小伙子,旁若无人地坐在公交车的老弱病残席上;也许会听到两个高谈阔论的时髦姑娘,如何兴高采烈地发出“他妈的”之声;也许会遇到有人撞了你一下,不打招呼便扬长而去的情况。每当你看到这一切的时候,你一定会觉得这与我们物质文明的发展是多么不相称!但是,当前社会上仍然有些人对于这些不文明礼貌的行为不以为耻不以为怪,并且为之辩护说:区区小事,何足挂齿。难道这真的是区区小事吗?我们要向有这种思想的人大喝一声:“你们错了!如果任其这样发展下去,那么文明何在?礼貌又何在呢?”
我们伟大祖国素以“礼仪之邦”着称于世,我们中华民族历来十分注重文明礼貌。在几千年的历史长河中,有多少名人志士以礼待人的故事至今还被人们广泛传诵,“融四岁,能让梨”的故事更是家喻户晓,妇孺皆知。毛泽东是上个世纪影响最大的人物之一,他从小养成了对长辈有礼貌的美德,后来当了国家主席,仍然能以礼待人。一九五九年,毛主席回韶山,曾专门邀请亲友的老人吃饭,毛主席给老人敬酒,老人们说:“主席敬酒,岂敢岂敢!”毛主席回答:“敬老尊贤,应当应当!”由此可见,文明礼貌是多么重要。
可以毫不夸张地说,生活中最主要的是文明礼貌,它比最高的智慧、一切的学识都重要。我们共同生活在社会主义的大家庭中,文明礼貌地处事待人,是我们每个青少年成长过程中必修的一课。因此,我们一定要养成讲文明礼貌的好习惯。
为了做一个讲文明礼貌的社会小标兵,我们要养成哪些习惯呢?比如说,你在公共汽车上,不小心踩了别人的脚,请先说声“对不起”;别人帮你做了事,要对别人道一声“谢谢”;在校内外,见到老师要热情打招呼问好;吃饭时,要把最舒适的座位让给长者,等等,这些都是讲文明礼貌的起码要求,有了这些习惯,才算具备了文明人的基本素质。但这些习惯不是天生就有的,需要逐渐养成。
那么怎样才能养成讲文明礼貌的习惯呢?首先要重视自身的道德修养。一个人的思想、行为,对别人、对社会是有益还是有害,要有一个衡量的准则,我们通常把这种衡量和指导人们思想、行为的准则,叫做道德。而礼貌与道德是互为表里的。礼貌是道德的外衣,道德是礼貌的内涵,因此,我们要认清哪些是我们应该做的,哪些是我们不应该做的,以此来规范我们的行为。其次,采取一些有效措施,来培养习惯。比如,在生活中我们常常看到在放置着“不准践踏草地”、“请您足下留情”告示牌的公园里、绿化带中,照样有人践踏青草。光靠布置告示来提醒,对有些人看来是无效了,他们对这些告示倒不一定是故意违反,因此,在没有养成好的习惯的时候,采取一些强制手段也是十分必要的。
同学们,我们是21世纪建设祖国的主力军,共同担负着创造物质文明的重要使命,更担负着创造精神文明的神圣职责。让我们从身边做起,做一个文明1养成文明礼貌习惯,争做社会小标兵。

+ 加入清单When it comes to success, different people have different opinions about what makes it come true. Some people regard hard-working as an essential quality to success while others believe being clever would lead to success. From my point of view, I think perseverance and hard-working are indispensable for those who want to make an achieveme
谈到成功时,对于实现成功的原因不同的人有不同的看法。有些人认为勤奋是成功必备的素质,而另一些人则相信聪明人会实现成功。从我的角度来看,我认为毅力和勤奋对于那些想要成功的人是必不可少的。
Firstly, perseverance let people step closely towards success. Most people want to make a big difference to prove their value. People who set their goal and keep moving would make their dream come true. However, there are some people who set their goal but they stop at the difficulty would fail in the end. I think the difference between success and failure is perseverance. If we have perseverance, even if we are not clever, we will make a great difference, but if we not, we are doomed to lose. As we all know, Edison is a great inventor in the world. However, before he invented the bulb, he kept trying for tens of thousands of times to find a suitable wire. Let us imagine, if he gave up at the 999th, then how he couldn’t become so successful. So, I strongly believe that perseverance produces success.
首先,毅力让人离成功越来越近。大多数人都想用不同的方式证明自己的价值。设定自己的目标,向着目标走,就可以使梦想成真了。然而,有些人设立了目标,却在困难面前妥协了将以失败告终。我认为成功与失败之间的差别是毅力。如果我们有毅力,即使我们不聪明,我们也会有很大的不同,但是如果我们没有毅力,我们注定是要失败的。我们都知道,爱迪生是一位伟大的发明家。但是,在他发明电灯泡前,他试了为数千次去找一个合适的线。让我们想象一下,如果他在第九百九十九次放弃了,那么他就不可能变得如此成功。因此,我强烈认为,坚持就会成功。
Secondly, there is also a kind of people who are born with cleverness, I think they are lucky. Nevertheless, if they don’t make a hard work on their way to their goal, they, absolutely, will become loser. Whether we are gifted for intelligent, we must be hard-working so as to success. I regard hard-working as an efficient approach to be successful because I believe ‘pains and gains’. As for those who do not make great efforts on work, failure follows. In old times, there is a clever boy who can make excellent poem when he can talk. When his father found the little child’s cleverness, he just let the child make poems to show around while never let the boy learned anything. When the boy grew up, people forgot him because he lost the ability Secondly, there is also a kind of people who are born with cleverness, I think they are lucky.

其次,还有一种人是天生聪明的,他们是幸运的。然而,如果他们没有在实现目标之前努力工作,他们当然也会成为失败者。无论我们是否有天资,我们都应该努力工作以获得成功。我认为勤奋是成功的一个有效的方法,因为我相信的“付出和收获”。对于那些不努力工作的人最后是失败的了。在古代,有一个聪明的男孩,在他能说话的时候就可以作优秀的诗歌。当他的父亲发现他孩子的聪明时,他只是让孩子到处作诗歌来炫耀,却从不让他儿子学习别的知识。孩子长大后,人们把他遗忘了,因为他失去了创作能力,成为了普通人。从这件事中,我们可以看到,只有通过努力工作才能获得知识,拥有一个好的 Anyway, I think perseverance and hard-working are both important in our way to success for they enhance us and produce success
不管怎么样,我觉得毅力和勤奋在成功路上都是很重要的,因为他们提升我们并获得成功。

篇20:毕业演讲稿
全文共 7451 字
+ 加入清单Faculty, family, friends, and fellow graduates, good evening.
I am honored to address you tonight. On behalf of the graduating masters and doctoral students of Washington Universitys School of Engineering and Applied Science, I would like to thank all the parents, spouses, families, and friends who encouraged and supported us as we worked towards our graduate degrees. I would especially like to thank my own family, eight members of which are in the audience today. I would also like to thank all of the department secretaries and other engineering school staff members who always seemed to be there when confused graduate students needed help. And finally I would like to thank the Washington University faculty members who served as our instructors, mentors, and friends.
As I think back on the seven-and-a-half years I spent at Washington University, my mind is filled with memories, happy, sad, frustrating, and even humorous.
Tonight I would like to share with you some of the memories that I take with me as I leave Washington University.
I take with me the memory of my office on the fourth floor of Lopata Hall - the room at the end of the hallway that was too hot in summer, too cold in winter, and always too far away from the womens restroom. The window was my offices best feature. Were it not for the physics building across the way, it would have afforded me a clear view of the arch. But instead I got a view of the roof of the physics building. I also had a view of one corner of the roof of Urbauer Hall, which seemed to be a favorite perch for various species of birds who alternately won perching rights for several weeks at a time. And I had a nice view of the physics courtyard, noteworthy as a good place for watching people run their dogs. Its amazing how fascinating these views became the longer I worked on my dissertation. But my favorite view was of a nearby oak tree. From my fourth-floor vantage point I had a rather intimate view of the tree and the various birds and squirrels that inhabit it. Occasionally a bird would land on my window sill, which usually had the effect of startling both of us.
I take with me the memory of two young professors who passed away while I was a graduate student. Anne Johnstone, the only female professor from whom I took a course in the engineering school, and Bob Durr, a political science professor and a member of my dissertation committee, both lost brave battles with cancer. I remember them fondly.
I take with me the memory of failing the first exam in one of the first engineering courses I took as an undergraduate. I remember thinking the course was just too hard for me and that I would never be able to pass it. So I went to talk to the professor, ready to drop the class. And he told me not to give up, he told me I could succeed in his class. For reasons that seemed completely ludicrous at the time, he said he had faith in me. And after that my grades in the class slowly improved, and I ended the semester with an A on the final exam. I remember how motivational it was to know that someone believed in me.
I take with me memories of the midwestern friendliness that so surprised me when I arrived in St. Louis 8 years ago. Since moving to New Jersey, I am sad to say, nobody has asked me where I went to high school.
I take with me the memory of the short-lived computer science graduate student social committee lunches. The idea was that groups of CS grad students were supposed to take turns cooking a monthly lunch. But after one grad student prepared a pot of chicken that poisoned almost the entire CS grad student population and one unlucky faculty member in one fell swoop, there wasnt much enthusiasm for having more lunches.
I take with me the memory of a more successful graduate student effort, the establishment of the Association of Graduate Engineering Students, known as AGES. Started by a handful of engineering graduate students because we needed a way to elect representatives to a campus-wide graduate student government, AGES soon grew into an organization that now sponsors a wide variety of activities and has been instrumental in addressing a number of engineering graduate student concerns.
I take with me the memory of an Engineering and Policy department that once had flourishing programs for full-time undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students.
I take with me memories of the 1992 U.S. Presidential debate. Eager to get involved in all the excitement I volunteered to help wherever needed. I remember spending several days in the makeshift debate HQ giving out-of-town reporters directions to the athletic complex. I remember being thrilled to get assigned the job of collecting film from the photographers in the debate hall during the debate. And I remember the disappointment of drawing the shortest straw among the student volunteers and being the one who had to take the film out of the debate hall and down to the dark room five minutes into the debate - with no chance to re-enter the debate hall after I left.
I take with me memories of university holidays which never seemed to apply to graduate students. I remember spending many a fall break and Presidents Day holiday with my fellow grad students in all day meetings brought to us by the computer science department.
I take with me memories of exams that seemed designed more to test endurance and perseverance than mastery of the subject matter. I managed to escape taking any classes that featured infamous 24-hour-take-home exams, but remember the suffering of my less fortunate colleagues. And what doctoral student could forget the pain and suffering one must endure to survive the qualifying exams?
I take with me the memory of the seven-minute rule, which always seemed to be an acceptable excuse for being ten minutes late for anything on campus, but which doesnt seem to apply anywhere else I go.
I take with me the memory of Friday afternoon ACM happy hours, known not for kegs of beer, but rather bowls of rainbow sherbet punch. Over the several years that I attended these happy hours they enjoyed varying degrees of popularity, often proportional to the quality and quantity of the accompanying refreshments - but there was always the rainbow sherbert punch.
I take with me memories of purple parking permits, the West Campus shuttle, checking my pendaflex, over-due library books, trying to print from cec, lunches on Delmar, friends who slept in their offices, miniature golf in Lopata Hall, The Greenway Talk, division III basketball, and trying to convince Dean Russel that yet another engineering school rule should be changed.
Finally, I would like to conclude, not with a memory, but with some advice. What would a graduation speech be without a little advice, right? Anyway, this advice comes in the form of a verse delivered to the 1977 graduating class of Lake Forest College by Theodore Seuss Geisel, better known to the world as Dr. Seuss - Heres how it goes:
My uncle ordered popovers
from the restaurants bill of fare.
And when they were served,
he regarded them
with a penetrating stare . . .
Then he spoke great Words of Wisdom
as he sat there on that chair:
"To eat these things,"
said my uncle,
"you must excercise great care.
You may swallow down whats solid . . .
BUT . . .
you must spit out the air!"
And . . .
as you partake of the worlds bill of fare,
thats darned good advice to follow.
Do a lot of spitting out the hot air.
And be careful what you swallow.
Thank you.
