different people have different career outlooks. some people want to become civil servants; some people hope to start their own business; some people dream of being freelancers, and so on.
however, my ideal job is teaching. firstly, i’m told that teachers have a high income. with the high income, i can open a training school to help the children in poor families with their education. secondly, teachers always have summer and winter holidays, thus i will have more free time to relax myself. more importantly, teachers are angels to students, who can pass on the knowledge to students as well as help them develop their hobbies and interests. i can’t imagine how happy i will feel when i see my students become elites.
in order to be a qualified teacher, i should read more books to acquire more knowledge, and train my patience and improve my communication and handwriting abilities.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Nothing is difficult if you put your heart on it. Nothing is easy if you don’t try your best.
We often hear people say, “Never give up.” This can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.
One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel discouraged and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives.
Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln. Born into poverty, Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost eight elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown.
He could have quit many times - but he didn't and because he didn't quit, he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of our country.
Lincoln was a champion and he never gave up.
In short, it is important that we don’t give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better, more confident people. Furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of attaining our goals, but if we keep trying, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.Thank you very much!

Every night ,I have a dream ,I see a girl ---smiling
Chinese New Year has a lot of fun, such as eating reunion dinner, setting off firecrackers, people giving lucky money, watching the Spring Festival gala... In so much fun, the most memorable thing in my mind was the reunion dinner, which was prepared by me and my mother.
In our country, the reunion dinner is to eat jiaozi, my mother and I began to pack. I asked my mother, "is it hard to wrap dumplings?" Mother said, "it is not difficult to learn anything." Listen to the mother I increased a lot of confidence, so my mother began to explain to me, listen to the mother's explanation, I know how to make dumplings, but although I know how to package, but I have bad package a half a day. I asked my mother curiously: "how can you pack as well as you do?" Mother said: "like you learn bicycle, it is not difficult to learn, you bag is not normal, because you are the first bag." Listen to the mother of comfort, I still so I try to wrap but I didn't mom bag well, but I have invented many new varieties, have a little rabbit sample, puppy, little monkey, but good.
A bowl of delicious dumplings on the end of the table, I quickly eat a mouthful, ah really sweet! The grandfather was surprised to say: "this dumpling how strange, have a lot of appearance oh, is not you this trouble demon bag." Everyone laughed, and my mother and I laughed.
This year, the most interesting thing to eat is a reunion dinner, because I did it with my mother.
Spring Festival is the most important festival in people's heart, and in our northeast, there is a lot of attention to the Spring Festival.
Every year, my family is in a hot and noisy family, and this year is no exception. On the 30th day of the great year, I got up early and helped my parents and sister to put up the couplet. The lucky words are also very particular, the blessing word should be upside down, so that means "blessing arrived". Mother always makes a table for us during the Spring Festival, this year is more abundant than previous years. Every year, the mother will cook fish, because the fish can say "more than one year", the rice table not only should have the fish and the pig's feet, pig's feet means "have the head".
It's time to eat, and you must set off firecrackers before you do so, because you can get rid of "monsters" for the coming year. In the evening, the lights will always be on fire, so that they can express their prospects for the coming year. In the evening to make dumplings, in the dumpling of the bag, only one has a coin, the people who eat this dumpling, everything will be smooth in the coming year. In the middle of the night 12 o 'clock every household to set off firecrackers, because after 12 o 'clock for the New Year, setting off firecrackers is a happy New Year, this time to set off firecrackers said vientiane update, prosperous, also represents a new meaning.
i have the answer to a question that we've all asked. the question is, why is it that the letter x represents the unknown? now i know we learned that in math class, but now it's everywhere in the culture -- the x prize, the x-files, project x, tedx. where'd that come from?
about six years ago i decided that i would learn arabic, which turns out to be a supremely logical language. to write a word or a phrase or a sentence in arabic is like crafting an equation, because every part is extremely precise and carries a lot of information. that's one of the reasons so much of what we've come to think of as western science and mathematics and engineering was really worked out in the first few centuries of the common era by the persians and the arabs and the turks.
this includes the little system in arabic called al-jebra. and al-jebr roughly translates to “the system for reconciling disparate parts.“ al-jebr finally came into english as algebra. one example among many.
the arabic texts containing this mathematical wisdom finally made their way to europe -- which is to say spain -- in the 11th and 12th centuries. and when they arrived there was tremendous interest in translating this wisdom into a european language.
but there were problems. one problem is there are some sounds in arabic that just don't make it through a european voice box without lots of practice. trust me on that one. also, those very sounds tend not to be represented by the characters that are available in european languages.
here's one of the culprits. this is the letter sheen, and it makes the sound we think of as sh -- “sh.“ it's also the very first letter of the word shalan, which means “something“ just like the the english word “something“ -- some undefined, unknown thing.
My Definition of Success
By Bao Jinlong(鲍金龙)
It is easy to describe success in terms of money, fame and reputation. But I believe that success is not external. I believe that success comes from within. My definition of success is to be true to yourself, and be true to others. That means, that you must cherish your personal ideal even in the face of adversity. I also believe that success is not discriminatory. Success is not restricted to such a class of people, in fact, it may be achieved by any person irrespective of his race, creed, gender and economic background. A good example of success is that of Beethoven. He is one of the world's most famous composers, yet he was deaf. He could not hear the majestic pieces of music that he created. Yet, in the face of this adversity, he was able to maintain his ideals--that of composing music.
To exemplify what success means to me, I pose a question to all of you. What brings us together here today? I believe that it is the beauty of the spoken word. The effect of pause and the sound of rhetoric are unique to the spoken word. I believe the beauty of the spoken word is even stronger for those who have difficulty in expressing themselves.
These people are reclusive and had their emotions hidden within them. I once went to Australia and I saw two pictures, Once was drawn by a normal child, the other was drawn by a child with social inhibitions. The picture drawn by the normal child was simple and plain. The other was life-like, full of details and imagination. What this shows is that these are ideas, emotions and feelings that are locked internally in thesechildren.
My ideal is to be the key, spreading the beauty of the spoken words to these children. These children have been neglected, but I feel that I can and should help these children to find themselves and be able to express themselves.
I realize that this is a difficult task, and there are many obstacles on the way. But I believe in my ideals and I will stick to them--even in the face of adversity. We should never have a premature abortion of ideals--let the child, let our ideals, stand the challenge. For a life without ideals is not living.
Thank you!
译文:成功之我见
用金钱、名誉和声望来描述成功，这很简单。但我相信成功不是外在的，我相信成功来源于自身。我对成功的定义是对已诚实，待人真诚。这就意味着即使面临困境厄运，你都必须坚守自己的理想。我同样相信成功没有偏见，成功不属于某一类人，事实上，不论种族、宗教信仰、性别和经济背景，任何人都能够获得。贝多芬的成功就是个很好的例子。他是世界上最著名的作曲家之一，而他却双耳失聪。他无法听到自己创作出的美妙乐章。然而，身
处如此逆境，他仍然能够坚持自己的理想——作曲。
为了举例说明我对成功的理解，我想给在座的诸位提一个问题。是什么让我们大家今天在此相会?我想是语言世界的美丽让我们走到了一起。停顿的效果和修辞之声是话语世界所独一无二的。我相信那些说话表达困难的人们对话语世界中的美丽体会得更为深刻。这些人都隐遁世间，把自己的感情深藏于心。我曾经去过澳大利亚，在那里看到了两幅画。一幅是正常儿童画的，另一幅是一个社会生活受限制的孩子画的。正常的孩子画的画简单、朴素，
而另一幅却贴近现实生活，充满了细节和想象。这表明这些孩子的思想、情绪和感受都封闭在他们的内心深处。
我的理想是成为向这些孩子传播话语世界美好的钥匙。这些孩子曾被我们忽视，但我觉得我能够也应该帮助他们发现和认识自己，并且能够表达自己的想法。
我知道这是个艰巨的任务，实现起来会遇到许多困难和障碍。但我笃信自己的理想，并将坚守下去——即使逆境重重。我们千万不能对一个理想作出不成熟的弃绝决定——让这些孩子，让我们的理想经受挑战。因为，没有理想的生活是没有生气的。
谢谢!

Founder of Success Napoleon Hill said: "The self-confidence, manage human use and the only channel universe, Infinite Intelligence is all the 'miracle' of the foundation of all scientific laws can not be the birthplace of the mystery of miracles . "he also said that such a thought-provoking words:" If we analyze the personality of those outstanding figures, you will see they have a common characteristic: they start work before, always fully believe in themselves the ability to remove all difficulties and obstacles, until victory! "
Indeed, in large part to promote confidence in a person's success, many people start from the history we are all evident. Confident people from distress to rescue, you can see the successful people in the dark light, can give people the power struggle. Perhaps you could say: "With confidence, you have half the success."
Work the same two people, self-confidence of people at work in a more relaxed when the Association of the way through: Dang good job done, we will consider it for our own strength, in the event Shizaiwufa completed The task, then that might be really difficult task in itself. The lack of self-confidence of people will bring success to good luck, the ability to not fail as their own home. However, as this little psychological difference, although the two spent time and energy are similar, but often more self-confident side of the gain is much greater.
How many scientists at home and abroad, especially inventors, which is not tackled on his own confidence in what the project? Will fail again and again again and again aroused their fighting spirit - they think: the more failures, the more successful near distance. But confidence is not an innocent person will be attached to the body, first of all who have genuine talent, then can there be real self-confidence, and use it as an extremely useful power. Empty full of confidence, it would only say it is presumptuous Bale. This so-called "confidence", not only failed to promote human progress, but unfriendly.
King of the hill Network commentator said: "There is no real thing, only the confidence, the future is only one - dead, and done for." This sentence sounds excessive, but in fact the only self-confidence if it is indeed a very dangerous.
Similarly, in our study, only self-confidence is not enough, self-confidence and efforts should be organically combined. Some students often see the occasion of the examination, not the least bit nervous, confidently into the examination room. However, after examination, this part of the students in some scores of deadly accuracy, and some fraction is ashamed to see people. This seems unreasonable thing is very simple: this part is both a kind of self-confidence in students, but also hard to study hard; a single self-confidence, but did not pay the effort. These two types of students are full of confidence seems to examination, but usually not the same as the accumulation of knowledge, different consequences.
So, we life, you should do first one full of classics, before a confident person. Because confidence is just a void of power, want to be successful, you have to give confidence to attach to "hard work" on the burning of the mechanical self-confidence, so confidence should force it to play out.
The stunt regiment came a new pupil, the coach started teaching from the wire, the address at the time of exercise, always did not walk a few steps down, repeated practice or so, finally sitting dejectedly up on the coach came to the disciples pat on the shoulder and said: "fall go smoothly a prerequisite." disciples heard, again climb in practice. Coach reminds: "go, go, until you forget the wire there, forgot to drop the matter, even if you really learned"
Life sentiment
Life is full of surprises, we must practice like a tightrope, smiling, upright, if not deep down, again stand up, when we no longer care about the "accident", "drop" no longer care. We can walk faster than others and steady.
"New Year! Celebrate the New Year! The children's laughter echoed through the room
I began to set off firecrackers, which had "flash thunder", "triangle thunder", "flying squirrel", "monkey" and "peacock"... I had a good time. Dream king yao and I go to the point firecrackers, points out, the two of us open and started running back, wait for ten minutes, no movement, brother said: "the two of you little fool, haven't lighted firecrackers, you ran back." We said, "oh, brother we know." We ran to another point, wang mengyao first ran back, I just ran two steps, it began to ring, I immediately became the shrink head turtle, everyone laughed to tears all came out.
At eight o 'clock, we began to watch the couplet, the little shen Yang in "not bad money" appeared, and I was laughing my head off. Zhao benshan wants what is not, he say: "I seek boss to go!" "No," said little shenyang. Little shenyang just had a moment ago, turn around, little shenyang say: "oh, the boss went out." Where is the pain in my stomach?
At twelve o 'clock, we began to make dumplings, wrapped the dumplings, and began to eat. I think the dumplings are very fragrant. I ate 10 of them in one breath.
The Spring Festival is very good, there is delicious, have fun, still can watch "Spring Festival gala". I wish every day New Year!
Good morning,dear teacher and my friends.
today i am very glad to be here to share with you my ideas of success. what is success? it is what everyone is longing for.sometimes success would be rather simple. winning a game is success; getting a high grade in the exam is success; making a new friend is success; even now i am
standing here giving my speech is somehow also success.
however, as a person’s whole life is concerned, success becomes very
complicated. is fortune success? is fame success? is high social status success? no, i don’t think so. i believe success is the realization of people’
s hopes and ideals.nowadays, in the modern society there are many people
who are regarded as the successful. and the most obvious characteristics of hem are money, high position and luxurious life. so most people believe that s success and all that they do is for this purpose. but the problem is wether it is real success. we all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us. if we keep chasing them, where is the end? what will satisfy us at last? therefore, we can see, to get the real success we must need something inside, which is the realization of
people’ hopes and ideals.
have a dream
Every one has his own dream.When I was a little kid ,my dream was even to have a candy shop of my own .But now ,when I am 16 years old ,standing here ,my dreams have already changed a lot.

我有一个梦想
每个人都有自己的梦想，当我还是个小孩的时候，我的梦想就是有一个我自己的糖果店，但现在，当我16岁，站在这里，我的梦想已经改变了很多。
我有不同于其他的女孩，当他们在家里玩玩具，而他们梦想成为公主的故事，我是跑在大雨，大雪中跳跃，在强风中投球。没有什么能阻止我，因为心底的呼唤——要成为一名运动员。是的，当然，我是一个运动员，我很自豪，所有的时间。
当我10岁的时候，我成为了一名运动员，训练非常困难，我不能忍受沉重的射击，但我始终相信“上帝只帮助那些谁帮助自己”。在那些艰难的日子里，我发现我比其他同龄的人快增长。
今天我告诉你我的朋友们，尽管我必须面对昨天，今天和明天的困难，我仍然有一个梦想，它是一个深深扎根于我的灵魂深处的梦想。
我有一个梦想，有一天，我可以奔跑，跳跃和投球，就像我曾经是。
我有一个梦想，有一天，我可以回到我的梦想体育和加入国家队。
我有一个梦想，有一天，我可以站在奥运会的最高位置，所有的镜头都指向我，我会告诉大家，我是如此的骄傲，成为一名中国运动员!
这是我的希望，这是信念，我将继续我的脚步!!!
有了这个信念，我将活虽然坚强的风雨，永不放弃!
因此，让胜利之环从我的心，从你们所有人，当我们让胜利戒指，我必须是一个!
在我的想象中，我是一只鸟，一只神奇的鸟，我用我的大翅膀带着我的梦想。我飞过山，虽然森林，在海上，在阳光下，在航空航天最温暖的地方!
每个夜晚，我都有一个梦想，我看到一个女孩---微笑
When I was out for a travel in Jeju Island, what surprised me most are those Chinese features all around this prestigious scenic spot of Korea. The moment I got out of the plane, I was amused by those broken Chinese words printed on the wall of the airport. Most of those hilarious words say “currency exchange!” or “greatest hotel room ever! ” and “Duty free shops” in a pretty funny way. I guess Chinese people are, like, walking cash to them. Anyway, although those who wrote them clearly are not even close to good Chinese speakers, they had indeed made my travel phenomenally convenient as well as homelike at the same time. There is even a whole district called JUNGMUN, which means “Chinese” in Korean. It is one of the most bustling places in Jeju, as tourists from China basically bought the whole place up.
I could even spend RMB in Jeju, which is usually not allowed in other religious or countries. Chinese tourists have indeed promoted the economics there, I guess. Another interesting phenomenon I’d like to talk about is the Chinese feature in US TV series. As you all know, US TV series play a rather important part in Chinese students’ lives. Agents of SHIELD is a well-known series and I personally love it very much. When an agent came back, half-dead, saying “I have spent my last four years in a ShanXi cooper mine”, I couldn’t help laughing. And I don’t have to mention the Chinese food Saturday of Sheldon in The Big bang theory, the mysterious girlfriend named Shadow of Oliver Queen in The Arrow, and those meaningless quoting of Confucius and Sun Zi in countless US TV series.
American writers seem to see Chinatown as a sacred and exotic place in which live insidious villains who happen to master kung fu and have serious Asian faces. These phenomena above are just a small part of Chinese features overseas I have noticed. Needless to say, the rise of China has indeed became more and more relevant and significant to the ordinary Chinese people. There most certainly is not any other country in this world that has changed its international standing at this magnitude, and the world is embracing China in an unprecedented way. However , although we have seen the progress made by the world, I’m still hoping that they can see through the surface to perceive the essence of China. What we should really focus on are every individual of the 1.3 billion ordinary Chinese.
We should change the viewpoint and take a serious look at China, at Chinese people, at their down-to-earth dreams, at their impulsive drive to change their fate, to change their nation's fate, and at their kindhearted temperaments, at their diligent characters. Today's China is made up of Chinese people who have virtue and excellence, not just of Bruce Lee and Kung pao chicken cubes. We should not overlook this great country, and we most certainly should not see only the high-rise buildings and the apparent prosperity, but also lay our sights on those unsung heroes who have been making contributions to this very society since the beginning.
But for myself,I learn English not only because of its importance and its usefulness,but also because of my love for it.When I learn English, I can feel a different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world.When I read English novels,I can feel the pleasure from the book which is different from reading the translation.When I speak English, I can feel the confident from my words.When I write English,I can see the beauty which is not the same as our Chines.
I love English,it gives me a colorful dream.I hope I can travel around the world one day. With my good English, I can make friends with many people from different contries.I can see many places of great intrests.I dream that I can go to London,because it is the birth place of English.
I also want to use my good English to introduce our great places to the English spoken people,I hope that they can love our country like us.
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.
I am sure that I will realize my dream one day!
Thank you!
As a communication between enterprises and consumers the most effective way to brand publicity can improve enterprise well-knownness, shaping the corporate image, establish enterprise reputation, cultivate brand loyalty, in order to promote the development of the enterprise have the effect of get twice the result with half the effort. It is not happen overnight but corporate communications, both must focus on service reality marketing demand, and to give attention to two or morethings enterprise brand capital accumulation, it is a long process. Communication goals and marketing objectives should have consistency, target is a target for marketing brand communication services. In the implementation of brand communication, want to understand their own brand core value, connotation, to public relations, sales promotion, visual, publicity tools such as language to achieve unity, harmonious communication effect.
Though, my job is not to everyone's requirements and expectations, even though I have given it a few years the accumulation of media resources from all walks of life and all the material about YuHuangJian completes the handover, I to promote the work also has a lot of love and, in the coming days to propaganda you need me to do things will still be responsive, however, I believe that with the development of the company, more talented people. "Sunrise river bonus - fire, spring to bluish green blue". Believe that the next will do better than me.
And I think it's no accident that we think this way. Neuroscientists have actually shown that human beings are hard'wired to be optimists.
So maybe that's why we think of fear, sometimes, as a danger in and of itself. “Don't worry,” we like to say to one another. “Don't panic.” In English, fear is something we conquer. It's something we fight.
It's something we overcome. But what if we looked at fear in a fresh way? What if we thought of fear as an amazing act of the imagination, something that can be as profound and insightful as storytelling itself?
It's easiest to see this link between fear and the imagination in young children, whose fears are often extraordinarily vivid.
When I was a child, I lived in California, which is, you know, mostly a very nice place to live, but for me as a child, California could also be a little scary.
I remember how frightening it was to see the chandelier that hung above our dining table swing back and forth during every minor earthquake, and I sometimes couldn't sleep at night, terrified that the Big One might strike while we were sleeping.
And what we say about kids who have fears like that is that they have a vivid imagination. But at a certain point, most of us learn to leave these kinds of visions behind and grow up.
We learn that there are no monsters hiding under the bed, and not every earthquake brings buildings down. But maybe it's no coincidence that some of our most creative minds fail to leave these kinds of fears behind as adults.
Many people yearn to be more self-confident. Yet they have no idea how to achieve that objective. They look at others who have the gift and say, “Hey that’s what I want. I hate feeling unsure of myself. I wish I could stop obsessing about what others think of me and quit worrying about disappointing other people. I want to stop anguishing over my decisions and torturing myself about my mistakes. I think it would be so great to feel self-assured, hold my head up high and stand tall. I’ve never been self-confident. I wish there were a way I could be.”
There is a way. You don’t have to be born with self-confidence. Self-confidence can grow and flourish and ripen and blossom until you actually come to feel as though there is a different person inside of you. Here are some insights that might facilitate the quest.
Learn what a self-confident person is really like. They are not cocky, know-it-all people who don’t care what anybody else thinks. They have their doubts. And make mistakes. And are far from perfect. However, they are willing to acknowledge their inadequacies without dwelling on them. They do this by maintaining a sense of humor, putting problems in perspective, and focusing mainly on what they’ve done right, not wrong.
Though self-confident people do believe in themselves, they don’t try to suffocate others with their ideas or beliefs. They are confident in what they know not only because they read, learn and think but also because they respect their instinct, intuition and the unique body of knowledge that they’ve developed by living life. They realize that one doesn't have to be labeled an “expert” to believe in one's own truths.
Self-confident people don’t undermine their own worth by comparing themselves with others, only to conclude that they aren’t “good enough”. They appreciate their strengths and accomplishments and can acknowledge, without embarrassment, their weaknesses. They don’t live in the “victim” position. Even if something really bad has occurred, they turn it into a challenge, remembering to be grateful for the little things in life.
Self-confident people let the world know who they are. If they want something badly enough, they know they have every right to “go for it.” Yet, they also know that the path will rarely be easy. Mistakes, blunders and failures are part of the learning process. They seek to learn from their mistakes and do not waste time torturing themselves over what “could have been”.
Self-confident people are not obstinate people. If they have an idea about something and it differs from the way another person is thinking about it, they will usually try to look at it from that person’s point of view, see why it makes sense to them. Yet, a confident person’s sense of self is grounded. It does not blow in the wind. Their ideas do not fluctuate based on what others deem are important.
I hope these insights are helpful to you. If so, perhaps one day you will be able to say what the actress Phyllis Rashad once said, simply but eloquently, ” I am just myself and who I am is a lot.”
Dear classmates:
Everybody is good!
If you lose today, you don't calculate failure, because tomorrow will come again.
If you lose money, you don't calculate failure, because the value of life is not your pocketbook.
If you lost civilization, you are absolutely failed, because you've lost the essence of life.
A social public civilization level, can reflects a social the civilized degree of a nation, if a man does not keep social civilization, small will affect their image, big affect national reputation. During the qing dynasty, minister li hongzhang expeditions in a Russian, publicly, vice attack, vomitted an one mouthful phlegm anywhere by foreign reporters, damning rendering, ridicule, lose all the Chinese face. This is a not observe social civilization history lesson.
We don't have complained of the social civilization level is not high, Don't YuanYi own power too thin, influence on the society is not big. Imagine, bread the yeast in is not so small? Only by this point, however, the yeast, not send up yao. Bread We each students should do this era of yeast, let oneself of enzyme, in this society play its role.
The classmates, let's do it, "the new era, the new national new civilization", don't let civilization, don't let civilization only on paper, let it appear among active in us, let civilized ubiquitous, let us do civilized master, let "civilized walked with me!"
