Speech on inspirational stories for primary school students facing setbacks

Dear leaders, teachers, dear students:

Hello everyone, the title of my speech today is "Strong faith and transcend yourself".

Helen Keller has such a very vivid and vivid saying: "When a person feels the urge to fly high, he will never be satisfied with crawling on the ground again." The lofty ideal is precisely the belief that enabled her to accept the challenges of life and create the miracle of life.

She, a weak woman who is blind, deaf and mute, graduated from Harvard University, and used all the strength of her life to run around and build charitable institutions to benefit the disabled. She was selected as one of the 20 The top ten American heroes and icons of the century. Ideals and beliefs were like blazing fire that helped her walk out of darkness and death. Ideals and beliefs were like huge wings, helping her fly into the sky.

In a sense, people do not live in the material world, but in the spiritual world, living in ideals and beliefs. For human life, if you want to survive, you only need a bowl of rice and a glass of water; but if you want to live a wonderful life, you must have spirit, lofty ideals and firm beliefs.

Ideals and beliefs make poor people become rich, make people in darkness see light, make people in desperate situations see hope, and make dreams become reality.

Let me tell you a story:

In the vast desert, an expedition team was trekking hard. The scorching sun above our heads made the expedition members thirsty and sweaty. Worst of all, they were out of water. Water is their belief in survival. Their belief was shattered. They all seemed to have collapsed and lost their souls. They all turned their attention to the captain. What can we do?

The captain took out a kettle from his waist, raised it with both hands, shook it vigorously, and shouted in surprise: "Oh, I still have a kettle of water here! But before crossing the desert, who You can’t drink it either.”

The heavy kettles were passed from the hands of the team members one after another. The faces that were on the verge of despair showed a firm look, and the belief that they must walk out of the desert supported them, staggering one step at a time. Move forward step by step. Looking at the kettle, they pursed their chapped lips, suddenly gaining strength.

Finally, they escaped death and walked out of the vast desert. When everyone cried with joy, they stared for a long time at the kettle that gave them faith support.

The captain carefully unscrewed the kettle lid, and what slowly came out was wisps of sand. He said sincerely: "As long as you have a firm belief in your heart, dry sand can sometimes turn into clear spring water."

The black leader Martin Luther King once said: "There is no such thing in this world as People can bring you down if your own faith is still standing. "Yes, don't extinguish the torch of faith in your heart even in the most difficult times.

Students, no matter what your current grades are, no matter what your current foundation is, as long as you strengthen your beliefs and surpass yourself, you will have a direction to work hard and a goal to strive for. With the motivation to live, you have the hope of success!

Marshal Nie Rongzhen observed on the spot. A few seconds after launch, the missile staggered as if drunk, with white smoke coming out of its head. Then the engine caught fire. The missile was completely out of control at 21 seconds, and crashed 69 seconds later.

The first launch of "Dongfeng-2" failed, and everyone felt very heavy. The day after the launch failed, Wang Bingzhang and Qian Xuesen, the two leaders of the Fifth Academy, took a special plane to the launch site. Facing Marshal Nie Rongzhen, everyone felt uneasy, did not know the reason for the failure, was confused, and felt strong self-blame and regret.

Nie Rongzhen looked at the comrades around him and said in his first sentence: Since it is a scientific experiment, there will always be successes and failures. If we succeed, we gain experience; if we fail, we learn lessons! If you succeed, the credit belongs to you; if you fail, the responsibility will be mine!

5. Eagle and Chicken

The hunter accidentally found an eagle nest containing two eagle eggs. The hunter brought the eagle eggs home. He wanted to train two falcons, so he placed the two eggs between the eggs hatched by the hens at home. After the hen hatched, the eaglets and chicks were born soon after. They are all cared for by the hen, and no one can tell the difference between the eaglets and the chicks.

The two eaglets grew slowly, and their body shape became more and more different from other chicks, but their lifestyle did not change much. They could only use their sharp talons and beaks to peck and eat. One day, an eagle flew over, and the chicks hid in a hurry. Only two little eagles still stood there with their heads held high and praised: "If one day I can fly like an eagle, that would be great." OK!" However, their words caused a round of ridicule.

The hen first turned around and scolded: "Children, don't have such wishful thinking. You are just chickens. You should go and find more food honestly! Don't spend your energy on useless things. "The other chicks also said: "Mom is absolutely right, you two should stop thinking so much. We haven't found the food today yet!"

Faced with these ridicules and ridicules, one of them The little eagle gave up and silently returned to the chickens, following the chickens in search of food. The other little eagle said to itself: "I have strong wings like an eagle. It can fly, why can't I?" So the little eagle left the chicken flock and began to practice flying on its own.

Because it was young, weak, and had no guidance from others, it hurt all over its body when it first fell. However, the belief in flying is always in its heart. It is this belief that supports it in facing failures again and again but never getting discouraged. It gets up from where it falls and finally overcomes difficulties.

Six short stories about facing setbacks bravely, animals

I once heard someone tell such a joke:

A young driver was driving in the dark. On a deserted road, suddenly the car broke down and could no longer drive. When the driver was preparing to repair the car. But he didn't realize that he didn't bring a jack. At this time, he saw a light coming from the distance. He hurriedly walked towards the light. As he walked, he became more and more uneasy. What if no one opened the door? Even if there is a jack, what if the owner refuses to borrow it?

The young driver became more and more troubled.

When the owner of the farmhouse opened the door enthusiastically, something unexpected happened. The driver actually punched the person who opened the door and shouted: "Stingy man, let your bad jack go to hell." Go for it!

After hearing this joke, many people will laugh. But after laughing, can you realize some small truths from this little story?

When difficulties and setbacks come to us, if we can face them bravely with a positive attitude, we may be able to turn defeat into victory and achieve unexpected gains, but if we are just blindly pessimistic and disappointed , then the god of luck will also leave us.

I read this from a book and thought it was pretty good, so I wrote it down for everyone to read. I hope everyone will be brave enough to face any difficulties they encounter in the future. This is the god of luck. will come to us.

The father told the children that whoever planted the saplings that grew best would buy their favorite gift. The little boy also wanted a gift from his father. But seeing the brothers and sisters jumping around carrying water to water the tree, I somehow had a dark and cold thought: I hope the tree I planted will die soon. So after watering it once or twice, I never bothered with it again. A few days later, when the little boy went to see the tree he planted, he was surprised to find that not only did it not wither, but it also grew several new leaves. Compared with the tree planted by his brothers and sisters, it looked greener and more mature. angry. The father fulfilled his promise and bought the little boy his favorite gift and told him that judging from the tree he planted, he would definitely become an excellent botanist when he grew up. Since then, the little boy has slowly become optimistic. One night, the little boy was lying in bed unable to sleep. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenly remembered what his biology teacher once said: Plants generally grow at night, so why not take a look at the small tree you planted. When he came to the yard quietly, he saw his father splashing something with a spoon under the tree he planted. Suddenly, he understood everything. It turned out that his father had been secretly fertilizing the small tree he planted! He returned to the room and let the tears flow freely... Decades later, although the lame little boy did not become a botanist, he became the President of the United States. His name was Franklin. Roosevelt. Love is the best nourishment in life. Even just a spoonful of water can make the tree of life thrive.
