Famous speech script
Dear teachers and classmates:
Hello everyone! What I’m going to talk to you about today is a famous saying by the great ancient Greek philosopher Socrates: “The happiest thing in the world is to fight for your ideals.” I believe you still don’t fully understand this sentence. When a person has an ideal, he has a goal in life, a direction for struggle, and motivation for struggle. When a person strives for his ideals, he will have a sense of happiness. A person with ideals is a "capital person". No matter whether he succeeds or fails in the end, after all, he has struggled. Is there anything happier than this?
More than a hundred years ago, the Wright brothers in the United States invented the world's first powered airplane. The two brothers had no interest in going to school since childhood, but they showed amazing creativity in mechanical manufacturing. Later, they began to build gliders. The first two experiments failed, but the Wright brothers were not discouraged and finally succeeded in the third time. The success of the glider was not enough to make them great inventors, because the glider technology was already very mature at that time, and there were many gliders that could fly further than them. Then, it was time to start research on powered aircraft. After countless failures, the Wright brothers finally invented the world's first powered aircraft. Five years later, at a French air show, my brother flew the improved powered aircraft in the blue sky for more than two hours. Only then did the world truly witness this great aircraft.
Let’s talk about Helen Keller, the author of “If You Give Me Three Days of Light”. Scarlet fever robbed her of her sight and hearing when she was 19 months old. Soon, she lost the ability to express herself verbally. However, in this dark and lonely world, she did not give up, but kept improving. With the efforts of her mentor Anne Sullivan, Helen used tenacious perseverance to overcome the mental pain caused by physical defects. She loved life and gained knowledge from it, learned to read and speak, and began to communicate with other people. Later, with her strong will, she was admitted to Radcliffe College of Harvard University and became the first blind and deaf person in the world to complete college education.
Look, these celebrities all struggled for their ideals and all achieved success. My ideal is to be an excellent lawyer, and I am also struggling for my ideal. I gain a sense of happiness in the process of struggling, so I am very happy. Students, do you all have your own ideals? Hurry up and fight for your ideals, you will get a lot of happiness from it! Now please read with me: "The happiest thing in the world is to fight for your ideals - Socrates.
