1. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! I'm glad to stand here and give you a short speech. Today my topic is "Youth". I hope you will like it and find its importance when you are young, so as to cherish it more.

First of all, I want to ask you a few questions:

Do you know what youth is?

2. How do you master your youth?

youth

Youth is not a period of life, but a state of mind; This is not rosy cheeks, red lips and soft knees, this is an emotional problem: this is fresh; This is the freshness of the deep spring of life.

Youth means that courage overcomes timidity of desire, and that adventure overcomes the desire for comfort. This is more common in a 60-year-old man than in a 20-year-old boy. No one grows old just because of age. We grow old by giving up our ideals.

Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns youth to ashes.

Whether 60 or 65 years old, everyone has the temptation of miracles, a childlike desire for the future and the fun of life games. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: as long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, joy, courage and strength from men and women, you will remain young forever.

When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with ice and snow, cynicism and self-abandonment arise. Even at 20, you are old. But as long as your aerials are up and you catch signals of optimism, there is hope that you will die young at the age of 80.

Thank you!

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! I'm glad to stand here and give you a short speech.

A person's life is a process of growth, in fact, I stand here is a growth. If a person's life must be made up of various choices, then I will grow up with these choices. Once I hoped that I could study in the university in the future, but that has passed. As you know, I came here, and now I want to know what my future will be like.

When I came to this school, I told myself: This is my near future, and everything starts here. Next, I will learn to be a person, a complete person, a healthy body, able to undertake important tasks, independent thinking, open mind, concentrated thinking, the ability to judge right and wrong, and a perfect job.

Once my teacher said, "You are not sewing, you are a stylist;": Never forget that you should show people your ideas, not your skills. " I will integrate my personality, my interests and abilities into my study. In this process, I will combine learning with doing. If I can realize this "future", I think I've really grown up. I am convinced that in the future, affection, friendship and love will make us perfect and happy.

What about the future? Maybe this is a good wish. Let's make up our minds and stick to it, and we will definitely enjoy our life.

The general idea of China people:

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I am very happy to give you a short speech here.

A person's life is a process of growth. Actually, standing here now is also a kind of growth for me. If a person has to face different choices in his life, then I grew up with these choices. I am looking forward to going to college in the future, but that's over. Now I'm here, just wondering what my future will be like.

When I came to this school, I told myself: I will start here in the near future. Then I will learn how to be a man, how to be an upright person, and have a healthy body, be able to undertake important tasks, think independently, be open-minded, have thoughts, have the ability to judge right and wrong, and have a good job.

My teacher once told me: "you are not mending but creating;" Never forget that you show people your ideas, not your skills. "I will integrate my personality, hobbies and abilities into my study. In this process, I study and practice. If I can realize this "future", I think I've really grown up. And I firmly believe that my relatives, good friends and love will make my future more perfect and happier.

How to explain the future? Maybe it's just a good wish. Let's make up our minds and stick to it, and then our life will be wonderful.

3 my definition of success

"Once upon a time, there was a king who had a beautiful daughter like a blooming rose. The old king assigned three tasks to all suitors who came to the palace to propose to the princess, each of which was almost impossible to complete. One day, a handsome young prince came to the king's palace ... "Well, you know the rest. The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, and the prince successfully takes back the princess's hand.

The ending is always the same, ending with the sentence "They live happily ever after"

Why don't we get tired of something so whimsical, so unrealistic and, I would say, so unimaginative? How can a story like this stand the repetition of generations? Because, I think, this is a typical success story. It is highly philosophical and symbolic. The implication is that we see the four-step definition of success: 1) setting goals. Represented by a beautiful princess; 2) Challenges represented by three tasks; 3) the process of overcoming difficulties, represented by the hardships experienced by young people; 4) The return of success is represented by a happy marriage.

The story not only caters to everyone's inner yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of process and result. If the road to success is tortuous, the rewards of success will greatly increase, and vice versa. If a person inherits his father's millions and lives a comfortable life, even materially, he is not a successful person, because he has no difficulty in achieving prosperity. The word "success", of course. Don't sit back and wait for a simple definition. But as far as I know, the true meaning of success is the combination of hard work and satisfactory results. To illustrate my point, let me give another example.

If we change the rules of football, greatly expand the goal and drive away david seaman or any other goalkeeper, so that another David, David Beckham, can score easily, then scoring will not bring him a sense of accomplishment and joy. If we further change the rules and don't allow Arsenal's defenders to defend, so that Beckham can score with only one finger, actually a toe, then there is no game at all, because the meaning of winning has disappeared. In the process of accepting challenges, overcoming difficulties and enduring hardships, success has gained its value. The sense of accomplishment is directly proportional to the degree of overcoming difficulties.

The concept of success is not immutable, but relative, because the nature of difficulties is also relative. What you do effortlessly may bring great difficulties to the disabled. When he or she gains the same ability as you, he or she succeeds. This is why we admire Stephen Hawking very much, because although he is in a wheelchair, he has made great contributions to the field of science.

I myself, a naturally shy person, get stage fright easily, so I have to summon up great courage to take part in such a speech contest. I could have had an easy life without taking part in the college level competition. But I choose to accept the challenge and face the difficulties. Now I'm here. It will be a great success for me if I come out first. If I come last-I hope not-but if I come last, I won't say that my attempt failed, but I will celebrate that it was a real success, because part of my goal is to train my own character-to be more assertive and face difficulties bravely. For me, this is a meaningful step forward in the long journey to ultimate success in life. Although it is small, it is because I really benefit from participation.

Let's go back to the young and handsome prince and the four-step definition of success. You may have noticed that the story does not mention worldly standards such as wealth, status and reputation, but emphasizes the process of overcoming difficulties. Ancient wisdom has defined the meaning of success, which is also my definition.

Thank you.

My view of success

"A long time ago, there was a king whose daughter was very beautiful. The old king challenged all the men who came to propose, and every task was extremely arduous and almost impossible to complete. One day, a handsome young prince came ... "Well, you all know the following story. The three tasks are different in different versions, but the plot of the key part is the same: the prince successfully passes the customs and wins the princess's heart. The ending of the story is the same. The last sentence reads: "They lived happily ever after.

Why do we enjoy something so wonderful, so unrealistic, I would say, so unimaginative? How can such stories be repeated from generation to generation? I think, because it is a typical successful example. The story is thoughtful and representative. Inspired by the story, we realize the four steps in the definition of success; First, the goal setting is like the beautiful princess in the story; Second, the difficulties and challenges encountered are like three major tasks; Third, the process of overcoming difficulties, the story of young people experiencing many difficulties can be used as a symbol; Fourth, it is the fruit of success, like a happy marriage.

This story not only caters to people's deep yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of process and result. If the road to success is bumpy and tortuous, then the return of success is bound to be rich, and vice versa. If a person inherits millions of property from his father's parents and lives a relaxed and prosperous life, then even materially, he can't be regarded as a successful person, because his wealth is not obtained through hard work. To be exact, the word "success" is not a static simple definition. In my understanding, success in the true sense is the process of struggle and the satisfactory results obtained after struggle. Please let me give another example to illustrate my point.

If we try to change the rules of football, aim high and replace david seaman or any other goalkeeper, then any "David", such as "David Beckham", can score easily, but such a goal will not bring him the pleasure and joy of success. If we change the rules of the game again and don't let Arsenal's defense keep the goal, then Beckham can actually lift his foot and score. In that case, there is no game at all, because the meaning of winning no longer exists. In the process of accepting challenges, overcoming difficulties and experiencing hardships, the value of "success" can be full. The significance of achieving results is directly proportional to the degree of overcoming difficulties. The so-called concept of success is not static, but relative, because the nature of difficulties is also relative.

What normal people can do effortlessly may be quite difficult for the disabled. By acquiring the same abilities as normal people, disabled people have achieved success. This is why we admire Stephen Hawking-he has made great contributions to the scientific community, although he is confined by a wheelchair.

As far as I am concerned, I am shy and prone to stage fright, so I will summon up great courage to take part in this speech contest. I can stay away from the college-level competition and end it with peace of mind. However, I choose to accept this challenge to face the difficulties. Now that I am here, if I can win the first place, it will be a great success for me. If I am the last one-I hope not-but if I am the last one, I will not think that this attempt is a failure, but will celebrate that it is a real success, because part of my goal is to exercise my character-to be stronger and face difficulties bravely. For me, this marks another step forward in my long journey to a successful life. Although it is a small step, I really benefited a lot from my participation.

Going back to our young and handsome prince and the four-step definition of "success", you may have noticed that the story does not mention worldly standards such as wealth, status and reputation, but the story emphasizes the process of overcoming many difficulties. Ancient wisdom has defined the meaning of success, which is also my definition.
