Sometimes, history creates people, not people.
Like, we often think that "the times make heroes".
I even think that man, as an animal with social attributes, has long been shaped by history-what you said he would become. Please don't struggle, because you alone can't change history-even if you can struggle and become a part of history.
History will make you a Roosevelt, not a Churchill;
If history wants to give a contradictory and legendary general image, it will no longer give him an opportunity to command the United Nations troops in the Korean battlefield and become MacArthur ..... (Note: Barton was killed in a car accident in 1945)
I think that, materialistically speaking, Barton's "untimely death" is a special gift from history to him-because he only served the war, specifically for the United States in World War II. His luck lies in the fact that history has preserved his legend, especially the experience of the shining battlefield rider, but it has mercilessly lost the opportunity to command the "wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time" launched by several politicians who are so arrogant that they think they can create or change history.
Now, it seems that Barton has far more "fame" than MacArthur, at least for us bourgeois tasters who study and criticize history. However, the real reason is that history has treated different "heroes" unfairly: MacArthur did not die young, leaving more so-called "disgraces"-something he did not want to be remembered by history.
In fact, everyone is just a clown of history, even though he may have been regarded as a great man who followed the historical trend. However, some clowns performed more and bigger "farce" and let more people know: "Oh, there was such a person". The trajectory of history will not change its inevitable trajectory because of the "tossing" of a certain person, some people or even a certain group-of course, those "tossing" that jump around really affect those people, but that's all. The vast and long-term history of the universe can only be equated with some seemingly accidental or inevitable history that we are familiar with or forgotten under a special background. But the fact is, only by doing an integral in an infinite interval can it become the history that has reached the marginal limit!
since then, it seems that every conscious advanced animal is sad-yes, and it is something we must admit. In fact, most of us don't think too much or too deeply. As the old saying goes in China, people who have no long-term worries will have near worries. We have too many worries, and laymen are worried about life, work, career, pursuit and feelings;
The so-called great men will be blinded by history, and they are already far-sighted in strategic vision, worrying about nations, countries, regions, wars, consultations ... so much, so complicated, so chaotic, how can I be "crazy", "stupid" and "boring" here? This will only be ignored by the so-called "successful people" who seem to have overcome some "recent worries"-and I really doubt that I will become such a successful person before long! At least now, I still have a strong desire to do such a pursuit.
moreover, it seems more obvious that as long as you don't think, it doesn't matter. Yes, if you don't think about being a clown, you don't think about it at all. Isn't it as simple as living, working, pursuing, feeling and enjoying it?
I think so-but why isn't this the reason for human misery? There is a story that there are only two kinds of animals that can reach the top of the pyramid. One is the eagle, which flew up by its own talent and wings. We have many eagle figures here, and many students can reach the peak without working too hard. Many students may easily enter famous universities such as Harvard, Yale, Oxford and Cambridge for further study after graduation from Peking University. There are many students who are full of talents, and they have such talents without learning. For example, my monitor Wang Qiang, whom I just mentioned, has excellent imitation ability. When you go to any place and listen to any sentence, it will never be the same. So he worked as an announcer at Peking University Radio Station for four years. I listen to his voice every day, and my heart is full of hatred. So, talented people are like eagles. However, as we all know, there is another animal that has reached the top of the pyramid. That's a snail. Snails can only climb up. It may take a month, two months, or even a year or two to climb from low to high. At the top of the pyramid, people did find traces of snails. I believe that snails will never climb up smoothly, but will definitely fall, climb again, fall and climb again. However, what students need to know is that as long as the snail climbs to the top of the pyramid, the world it sees and its achievements are exactly the same as those of the eagle. So, maybe some of our students here are eagles and some are snails. When I was in Peking University, including today, I always thought I was a snail. But I've been climbing, maybe I haven't climbed to the top of the pyramid yet. But as long as you are climbing, it is enough to leave yourself a life-moving day. (Applause)
I often tell students that if we don't leave some days in our lives to make ourselves cry, your life will be in vain. Many of our students entered Peking University with excellent results, but Peking University is by no means the end of your study, but the starting point of your life. From the age of one to eighteen, you listened to your teacher and your parents, and now you have really started your own independent life. We must create some moving days for ourselves, so that you can move others. We have rich families and poor families here. The starting point of our life is not up to you to choose whether you were born in a rich family or a poor family. If you were born in a poor family, you can't say that Dad took it back for me. I don't want to stay here. But the end of our lives is our own choice. All the students present here used to walk very well. At the age of eighteen, they have walked in front of many children in China, because Peking University is the pride of China and the pride of the world. However, going to Peking University doesn't mean that you are accomplished from now on, and it doesn't mean that you can go well in the future. How do you go in the next 5, 6 or even 1 years has become a problem that every student should think about. Personally, I think as long as there are two things in our hearts, we can achieve our own life.
the first one is called ideal. I have a feeling since I was a child that I want to cross the horizon in towards the distant. I call it "the desire to cross the horizon". It is precisely because of this strong desire that I have the courage to keep taking the college entrance examination. Of course, I have role models in my life. For example, I have a neighbor who is very famous and is my lifelong role model. His name is Xu Xiake. Of course, it was a neighbor 5 years ago. But he is indeed my neighbor, from Jiangyin, Jiangsu, and I am from Jiangyin, Jiangsu. Because of worshipping Xu Xiake, I got 97 points in geography in the college entrance examination. (Applause) It was Xu Xiake who brought me the feeling of crossing the horizon, so I made up my mind that if Xu Xiake traveled all over China, I would travel all over the world. And I am now realizing my dream. Therefore, as long as you have ideals and aspirations in your heart, students, you will eventually succeed. What you have to do is to have the ability to work hard, endure setbacks and failures in this process, and to constantly expand your mind to do things better.
the second thing is called conscience. What is conscience? It is to do good deeds, to do things that are worthy of yourself and others, to have a gesture of sharing with others, and to have the spirit of being willing to serve others. People with conscience will be reflected in what you do in your specific life, and what you do will definitely have an impact on your future life. I'll tell two short stories, and then I'll finish my speech, which has taken up a long time.
the first short story. An entrepreneur told me a story from his college days. There was a student in his class, whose family was rich, and he brought six apples to school every week. The student in the dormitory thought it was one for each person, but as a result, he ate one for himself every day. Although the apple belongs to him, you can't rob it without giving it to you, but from then on the student left an impression that the child was too selfish. Later, the entrepreneur succeeded, but the student who ate apples didn't succeed, so he hoped to join the entrepreneur's team. However, after discussion, everyone said that he could not be allowed to join, for the simple reason that he never embodied the spirit of sharing in college. Therefore, the first point for students in college is that you have to share with them what you have, feelings, thoughts and wealth. Even an apple can be divided into six pieces for everyone to eat. Because you know, you can get more in the future by doing this, and your efforts will never be in vain. Speech by a Famous Person 3
Verne is a world-famous science fiction writer, but few people know how frustrated Verne was to publish his first work! What is recorded here is an unforgettable experience of Verne:
One morning in the winter of 1863, Verne had just had breakfast and was about to go to the post office when he heard a knock at the door. He opened the door and saw that it was a postman.
The postman handed a bag of bulging mail to Verne. At the sight of such an email, Verne had a premonition that something was wrong. It was the fourteenth time that he had received such an email since he sent his first science fiction novel "Five Weeks in a Balloon" to various publishing houses a few months ago.
He opened it with anxiety and wrote, "Mr. Verne, the manuscript is not going to be published after we read it, and I hereby return it."
Verne's heart ached every time he saw such a letter of rejection. This is the fifteenth time, and it has not been adopted. Verne knew at this time how the "masters" of those publishing houses looked down on the anonymous author. He swore angrily that he would never write again.
He picked up the manuscripts and walked to the fireplace, ready to burn them. His wife came and grabbed the manuscript and held it tightly in her arms. Verne Yu Nu didn't interest at this time, and he said that he would burn the manuscript.
His wife used her quick wits to comfort her husband with caring words. "Honey, don't lose heart. Try again. Maybe you will get lucky this time." After listening to this sentence, Verne's hand that grabbed the manuscript slowly dropped. He was silent for a long time, then accepted his wife's advice and picked up this big bag of manuscripts to try his luck in the sixteenth publishing house.
It didn't fail this time. After reading the manuscript, the publishing house immediately decided to publish the book and signed a 2-year publishing contract with Verne. Without his wife's guidance and the courage to "try again", we may not be able to read Verne's popular science fiction stories at all, and mankind will lose an extremely precious spiritual wealth.

Dear teachers and classmates:
Hello everyone!
It's my turn to give a speech today. My famous saying today is a sentence by Lebanese poet Ji Bolun: "A great man has two hearts: one bleeds and the other is tolerant."
Tolerance is a well-known topic. However, in today's society, there are not many people who really tolerate it.
tolerance can turn an enemy into a friend. Lincoln has always been tolerant. After he became president, the Civil War broke out. At first, the north was at a disadvantage, which made him restless all day. What followed was that others despised his ability. Some people thought that it was a big mistake to elect him president, but Lincoln was tolerant of those who despised him. In the eyes of others, it was a kind of tolerance without dignity, so it finally aroused the dissatisfaction of a member of parliament, who said, "You should not try to make friends with those people, but destroy them!" 。” Lincoln smiled and replied, "When they become my friends, aren't they just destroying my enemies?" It can be said that Lincoln was a great man, and he had a tolerant heart. His words hit the nail on the head, life is like this, be more tolerant, and those open opponents may be our potential friends.
tolerance is a realm of life. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Ying ... (The story of Liuchi Lane, abbreviated)
Mark Twain said, "Violet leaves its fragrance on its ankle, which is tolerance." Reese also said: "Taishan does not allow soil, so it can become a big one;" The ocean does not choose a trickle, so it can become deep. " Shakespeare also said: "Tolerance moistens the earth like a drizzle in the sky, which blesses those who are tolerant and those who are tolerated." I would like to ask, if there is no tolerance from Lin Xiangru, how can there be no one from Zhao who dares to invade and become increasingly powerful? Without Bao Shuya's tolerance, how could there be a famous friendship between Guan Bao and Bao in history? Without Zhuge Liang's tolerance, how could Liu Bei's army win the first battle of Xinye in the Three Kingdoms and more victories in the future?
forgiving others is actually forgiving ourselves. A little more tolerance for others, in fact, there is a little more space in our lives. On the road of life with friends, there will be care and support, and there will be no loneliness and loneliness; Life with friends will have less wind and rain and more warm sunshine. In fact, tolerance is always sunny.
Students, please remember these stories of tolerance, and remember that tolerance is a kind of strength, not a kind of weakness. Be more tolerant of the people around you, and you will find that you will take a step back!
my speech is over.

Teachers and students:
Hello everyone! I'm Wan Yanran from Class 12, Grade One. The topic of my speech today is "Hungry for knowledge, Foolish with an open mind".
As we all know, Jobs is a genius in the IT industry. Although he is not as good as some of his friends in design, he is also a perfectionist and irritable, which is even more reflected after he founded NeXT Company. However, he has great talent in business. When Jobs was in middle school, his friend Woz designed some electronic products, but he never thought of selling them, and Jobs often could sell them.
I want to share the story of Jobs with you here.
I'll tell you three stories that impressed Jobs the most. The first story is this: Jobs never graduated from college. He dropped out of Reed College after six months. This has to start before he was born. His biological mother was an unmarried mother who didn't graduate at that time. She felt that someone with a college degree should adopt him because she wanted to give him away. However, after many twists and turns, Jobs' adoptive parents never went to college. Seventeen years later,
