a common concept among some people is that opportunities are few. they always complain that opportunities never occur to them. they only admire those people who make a hit or succeed by seizing some opportunities, and always wonder why they are never given a good opportunity to show their talent.
another common notion is that there are opportunities everywhere. opportunity may occur to anybody at any time and under any circumstances as long as he/she keeps ma-ki-ng constant efforts. as a student, you can get to the top through your hard work. as a businessman, you can succeed through accurate calculation and with a complete certainty that you can make a profit.
in my opinion, opportunity favors only those who keep trying and who are ready for it. as the saying goes "god helps those who help themselves", so no matter whether there's opportunity or not, what we should do is to study, to learn and become learned people, only in this way can you seize your opportunity when it occurs. so never say there's no opportunity again, opportunities are around us.
Have A Dream
I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its belief: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood; I have a dream .....
That one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state suffering from the heat of unfairness, suffering from the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice; I have a dream
That my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character; I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its evii racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and invalidity, one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers;
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be gone,every hill and mountain shall be made Iow, and rough places will be made plane and crooked places will be made straight,and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
Everybody is good, the title of my speech today is "reading and life".
As is known to all, the book is the ladder of human progress. Books in our life play a very important role. The main reason why It is important, because it always exists in our side, is around us, and everyone is learning knowledge, using knowledge. But some people don't know what reading is to. I think one of the benefits of reading is to adjust state of mind. No matter how we met in living like earlier, can keep a peaceful and calm state of mind and be well prepared to face it. Happily, don't get carried away. When frustrated, don't be too sad, if can't avoid sad, think a way to unblock. Gorky said: the book made me become a happy person. Free time, we might as well read books too. Through reading, we have understood the book love, feel the truth; We know from the book to the history of change, social change. We learn from the book in thinking, put forward valuable questions, learn to grow up.
Century old man bing xin said: good reading, good read, read good books. It is an axiom. Reading a good book.Time went by, constantly reading but let us growth knowledge. Don't you want to gain knowledge? If you like, please pick up the book of our life is meaningful, into the book world, swim in the sea of knowledge, it will make you full of ideas, full of wisdom, and, in turn, change your fate, change your life, more let's get back to the truly belong to our self-confidence! Thank you for your speech!
Dear teachers, dear students, hello everyone!
In our real life, everyone will have a successful experience, there are also encountered the bitter failure, success, a brilliant smile on his face; Encountered setbacks, some defeat, have a plenty of efforts to forge ahead, to meet difficulties. For our students, how should we face the success and failure of study and life?
This leads to the theme I want to talk about today - " victory is not arrogant defeat not lose heart". The ancients once said, " the winner is not proud, the loser is not discouraged. " speak is this truth, when you after their own efforts to succeed, must not be complacent, proud of the world, defiant, but should summarize the successful experience, make persistent efforts, to higher and better goals and strive for; When you encounter setbacks and failures, never lose heart, broken pot broken fall, but should carefully check what you do, to find out the reason, constantly sum up, will be from a failure to success. Failure is not terrible, terrible is that we can't realize their own shortcomings.
We often say that " failure is the mother of success", is on the road to success, failure is sometimes inevitable, the great inventor Edison is not after countless failures to success? After countless failures - success, in failure in success, finally invented the electric light. Edison is such, the Athens Olympic champion Liu Xiang is the same, he is also after countless failures to achieve such a remarkable record, achieved the Asian sprint gold medal zero breakthrough, for the Chinese people for the light, also for the Asian people for the light! But to learn from failure, learn from successful people, from the psychological understanding of failure is temporary, as long as you can adjust the state of mind, find out the problem, in addition to their hard work, you will be able to achieve their satisfactory results.
We have just had the mid-term exam, because each student's foundation is not the same, some students through their own efforts to achieve excellent results, and some students feel their grades are not ideal, did not reach their goals. So there are two kinds of mentality of students. Good examination with the society rejoiced, but not proud, but also to continue to move forward; Test temporarily irrational students don't pessimistic disappointment, leak to fill a vacancy, will eventually achieve excellent results. What I want to tell you is that the test is just a means of testing, through which you reflect the degree of knowledge you have learned since the beginning of the school, the level of scores can only represent the past, not represent the future. As long as you can analyze the reasons for your failure from the exam, summed up their shortcomings, I believe that in the future test you will be in the top.
thank you.
Dear teachers and classmates:
Good afternoon, I am very nice to make a speech here! This time, I'd like to talk something about English.
As everyone knows. English language is very important today. It is now used everywhere in the world.
I love English. When I was eight, my mother sent me to an English school. At there, I played games and sang English songs with other children . I also often read English following the tapes and watch English cartoons at home. By talking with English people, I have made more and more friends as well as improved my oral English. Then I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world. It makes me confident and brings me great pleasure.
I hope I can travel around the world someday and introduce China to them in English, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and so on. Of course, I want to go to London , because England is where English language developed.
I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.
If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.
common sense would be revolted if we engaged upon this process for petty reasons. congress has a lot to do: appropriations, tax reform, health insurance, campaign finance reform, housing, environmental protection, energy sufficiency, mass transportation. pettiness cannot be allowed to stand in the face of such overwhelming problems. so today we are not being petty. we are trying to be big, because the task we have before us is a big one.
this morning, in a discussion of the evidence, we were told that the evidence which purports to support the allegations of misuse of the cia by the president is thin. we're told that that evidence is insufficient. what that recital of the evidence this morning did not include is what the president did know on june the 23rd, 1972.
the president did know that it was republican money, that it was money from the committee for the re-election of the president, which was found in the possession of one of the burglars arrested on june the 17th. what the president did know on the 23rd of june was the prior activities of e. howard hunt, which included his participation in the break-in of daniel ellsberg's psychiatrist, which included howard hunt's participation in the dita beard itt affair, which included howard hunt's fabrication of cables designed to discredit the kennedy administration.
Although, you are my adversary. But, you are not my enemy, you will give me strength, your resistance to make me strong, your spirit ennobles me... Thank you, my rival! Because of you, only then has taught me to cherish! Because of you, makes me beyond yourself!
This is the Olympic spirit, is the explanation of real competition. The arena of the race, you value in life requires the existence of rival makes sense, can be realized. No opponent, life would be boring; No opponent, success will lose should have a sense of achievement.
You are "top players" in study. Because of you, I desire to burst out for the first. So I work harder, more hard work. Though, I can't decide the outcome of the last, but my grades have been beyond my imagination, to my satisfaction. Thank you, my opponent! Because of you, make me to answer out of a satisfactory answer!
My home village is a small one. It’s in Yuxian county of Shanxi Province. Small as it is， it’s very beautiful.
There are many hills around my home village and they are more beautiful than some big mountains. In spring， we can fly kites which are made by ourselves on the top of the hills. The kites fly very high.In summer， the trees are green and the grass is green， too. It is green everywhere on the hills. There are so many wild apple trees on the hills. The wild apples are nice to eat. In autumn， the corns under and around the hills are ripe. So we eat them almost every day. In winter， when it snows， all the ground is covered with snow. We can play with snow and sometimes we eat the clean snow with sugar. In my hometown the sky is blue， the air is clean， the water is sweet and the people are very friendly. I love my hometown!

we know the nature of impeachment. we've been talking about it awhile now. it is chiefly designed for the president and his high ministers to somehow be called into account. it is designed to "bridle" the executive if he engages in excesses. "it is designed as a method of national inquest into the conduct of public men."² the framers confided in the congress the power if need be, to remove the president in order to strike a delicate balance between a president swollen with power and grown tyrannical, and preservation of the independence of the executive.
the nature of impeachment: a narrowly channeled exception to the separation-of-powers maxim. the federal convention of 1787 said that. it limited impeachment to high crimes and misdemeanors and discounted and opposed the term "maladministration." "it is to be used only for great misdemeanors," so it was said in the north carolina ratification convention. and in the virginia ratification convention: "we do not trust our liberty to a particular branch. we need one branch to check the other."
"no one need be afraid" -- the north carolina ratification convention -- "no one need be afraid that officers who commit oppression will pass with immunity." "prosecutions of impeachments will seldom fail to agitate the passions of the whole community," said hamilton in the federalist papers, number 65. "we divide into parties more or less friendly or inimical to the accused."³ i do not mean political parties in that sense.
the drawing of political lines goes to the motivation behind impeachment; but impeachment must proceed within the confines of the constitutional term "high crime[s] and misdemeanors." of the impeachment process, it was woodrow wilson who said that "nothing short of the grossest offenses against the plain law of the land will suffice to give them speed and effectiveness. indignation so great as to overgrow party interest may secure a conviction; but nothing else can."

Life, there are three stages - youth, middle age and old age, which is the most precious youth, this period any move will affect the later life, so to speak, adolescence is the foundation of life, the success of future generations is built on this foundation. Have such a book, it says the adolescent age is 13 to 19 year old boy. Carefully thought, (you certainly refers to the students. Are standing on the starting point of a person.
