Yes, yes, yes, it’s a new day, it’s a different day, and it’s a bright day! And most importantly, it is a new beginning for your life, a beginning where you are going to make new decisions, take new actions, make new friends and take your life to a totally unprecedented level.
In your mind’s eye, you can see clearly the things you want to have, the places you intend to go, the relationships you desire to develop, and the positions you aspire to reach. You can hear your laughers of joy and happiness on the day when everything happens as you dream! You can see the smiles on the people around you when the magic moment strikes. You can feel your face is getting red, your heart is beating fast, and your blood is rushing all over your body, to every single corner of your being!
You know all this is real as long as you are confident, passionate, and committed. And you are confident, you are passionate, you are committed! You will no longer fear making new sounds, showing new facial expressions, using your body in new ways, approaching new people, and asking new questions. You will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take. You will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life. You will never succumb to challenges and hardships; you will never waver in your pursuit of excellence. After all, you are the best, and you deserve the best!

励志英语演讲稿1I have a few candles stored in a drawer in my dining room.They’re meantfor romantic dinners and special occasions, but since the arrival of our threechildren they have lain unnoticed among the napkins and other things.They arewaiting to be taken out and lit to share their glow with anyone who will takethe time to bask in their brilliance.
Are not our souls like those candles, patiently waiting for someone to comeand let us be ourselves? We are all waiting for our own moments to shine; weeach have a special light, unmatched by any other.
Candles are made up of wax and a wick; we have bodies, but our essence liesin our minds and souls.Candles are unique in their colors, shapes and designs.Our life histories and experiences are the backdrops of who we are, but ourminds are like candle wicks, and make our passions flame.Unlike the candles inmy drawer, who get used or not used depending on my whims, we control our ownthoughts, and how brightly we will burn or dimly we will shine.
Is your soul candle dimmed by circumstance or lack of passion anddirection? Is it hidden in a drawer of stress, worry or resentment? Make achoice to let yourself shine the way you were meant to shine.
在我餐厅的抽屉里放着几根蜡烛。它们会用于浪漫的晚餐和一些特殊的场合，但是自从我的三个孩子出生之后，它们便被遗忘在餐巾纸和其他杂物之间了。它们一直在等待着被拿出抽屉，被点亮，以和任何一个愿意花费时间去感受它们温暖的人分享那些光亮。
我们的灵魂不也像蜡烛么?耐心地等待有人来发掘我们，让我们发光发亮。我们一直等待着发光发亮的一刻;我们都有自己独特的光亮，是别人所不能匹及的。
蜡烛由蜡状物和蜡烛心组合而成;人类有肉体，而我们的本质却存在于精神和灵魂中。蜡烛有它们独一无二的颜色、形状和图案。我们生命的历史和经历是决定我们是谁的大背景，但是只有我们的心灵才是蜡烛心，使热情形成火焰。与在抽屉里等着别人一时的兴致来决定是否被点燃的蜡烛不同，我们可以决定自己的思想，决定自己能够发光发亮还是黯淡无光。
你心中的那支蜡烛是否因环境或者缺少激情，没有方向感而黯淡无光?它是否藏匿于压力、担忧和怨恨的抽屉里?做出选择吧，以自己注定的方式去发光。

Mistakes can be enormously valuable, but when you try to get others to payfor your mistakes, then you deprive yourself of the opportunity to learn fromthem.When something goes wrong, it's usually very easy to find someone else toblame, but what does that really accomplish?
Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact that they demand a costthat must be paid.The person who learns the most from a mistake is the personwho pays the price for that mistake.
When you make a mistake, the lastthing you want to do is run away from it.You need to accept it because you can learn a lot from it.The mistake has beenmade, so make the most of it.Pay the price, learn the lesson, and grow thatmuch stronger.
When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long.Remember the reasonfor it, and then look forward.Mistakes are lessons of wisdom.The past cannotbe changed.The present is still in your power.Take full advantage of yourmistakes to achieve your goals and aspirations.
过失和错误让我们辨别是非,帮助我们前进。错误是伟大的老师。成功总是眷顾那些敢于冒着犯错的危险去追求他们的目标和理想,并善于从错误中吸取教训的人。为了从过失中吸取教训,你必须愿意为之付出代价。
错误可能具有巨大的价值,但是如果你想让别人来为你的错误付出代价,那你就丧失了从错误中学习的机会。当出了差错时,去责备他人总是很容易的。但是那又有什么用呢?
错误的价值在很大程度上体现为人们必须为所犯的错误付出代价。从错误中学到最多的那个人就是为之付出代价的人。

青春励志英语演讲稿3As the song goes “ My future isn’t a dream .” I love the song which bringsme confidence when singing it every time .I believe that all our dreams cancome true if we have courage to pursue them .When I was young my father alwaysasked me what I would be in the future .Sometimes I found it very hard to givea certain reply .“ I want to be a doctor .” “ I want to be a teacher .” and “ I’d like to be a scientist !” Many of these answers are perhaps very childish andridiculous .But I never think they are far away .
How time flies! Who is able to give a definition to his future ? I knowclearly that those high buildings are based on solid foundation .As a student ,I should have a reasonable aim , and study hard .My goal is to enter the bestuniversity for further study after middle school .I know it’s hard work , and I’ll come across many difficulties and frustrations .But no matter what they are, I’ll keep working on it and never give up .My teacher says there ’s only onekind of people that are truly successful : those who are brave enough to put upwith hardships .Even if I won’t achieve the goal , I have no regrets for what Ihave done , for I have struggled for my life .
青春励志英语演讲稿4Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter ofrosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality ofthe imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deepsprings of life.
Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of theappetite for adventure over the love of ease.This often exists in a man of 60more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow oldby deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles thesoul.
Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back todust.
青春励志英语演讲稿5Youth is short and fleeting, but youth is most beautiful period of life,Weare young, so we radical, we dare to try, and not hesitate to pursue ourdreams.We are young,so we are confident, we never bow to the fate,those setbacksand frustrations.We are young ,so we are beautiful, we have the most charmingand attractive faces.
This world does not necessarily have a happy ending, there is no lingeringregret for youth! whether happy or unhappy , youth is used to miss! There is noright and wrong, only a touch of one’s mind! This is the best outcome.
As movie lines ofsaid, the horrors of growing up is to turnyourself into the look of the person you've ever disliked.The cost of growth isto lose some things, those things are the ones that you do not feel precious,but a few years later, when you have experienced a lot of things you wouldrealize these will not appear again in your later life.But it does not matter,everyone's growth path is the case.Just cherish what you have now, becausethose are the youth, with tears, heartbreak in return.In the coming days, thememories of the past would warm your heart.I say ,youth is immortal, Happiness,or pain are both the evidence that witness your youth.
Life is very marvelous, the ability human knew about the nature haslimitation, you never know what will happen next, especially when you
Leading members and judges， young friends: Hello， everybody!
My name is XX， and we are pleased to be able to discuthe pursuit of excellence， dedication youth， this topic， I am going to talk about today is "willing to sacrifice， the fire ignited youth."
Let the fire burn eternal youth， so that life lightning acrothe horizon， with all the enthusiasm in exchange for time， there is no end to the dream of youth! I really appreciate the "Agni youth，" these words inside， and has been encouraging with its own study， work and life. I think that youth should be burned， give off light only value! Burning of one's life may also be corrupt， in that case， I do not want to corrupt， not corrupt， I would like to burn up! Friends present here! You like it?
Youth is our most beautiful season of life， she is breeding in early spring of life， demonstrating a warm summer， with autumn's master real hidden， which makes clear the hope of winter， full of poetic passion and not a lack of hard work， fashion， romantic and full of the hard struggle. When a person's youth integrate into an era， a career， so youth will not go away， and this will certainly cause in the years of experience in the reflection of bright light.
Here， I am reminded of the phrase: "Some people live， he is dead; some dead， he is still alive." The meaning of life is to live， then the meaning of life is it? Certainly not to live while alive， the answer is only two words， and dedication! We can imagine that， not pay， do not create， do not pursue such a youth must gradually grow old in the middle of Things Past， Looking back， there is no trace， no recall， life was filled with sighing everywhere. I think this is not the meaning of our existence. Throughout the ages， there are numerous capable person in the prime of his achievements had already immortal life， I have no time to list them here. However， a person's name I can not but mention， he is always learning model， one of the most extraordinary is the greatest most selflepeople. As we all know he is? The legend is that Lei Feng， who warned us that: "youth ah， always beautiful， but the true youth， belongs only to those who always strive for the best people， always selflelabor of the people， always humble man!" I think everyone here one， including myself， could be such a person.

good evening , ladies and gentlemen . i am joy and glad to give you a speech about stress , yes , just the topic you see on the screen.
psychologist tell us that stress is a state of worry caused by the problem of living , such as too much work or study , heavy responsibilities , and quickened pace of life .
statistics show that stress comes from every detail in our life . financial problems , poor health , being laid off may be the stress that most adults now suffering . as students in the university , we are also under our special stress . while study , having to take various tests and submit a project against a deadline may put a great pressure on us . and the things make us felt stressed may be our parents’s greater expectations on us than we could reach . later , when we are likely to graduate , some other problems will also annoy us . i think we will worry a lot about our ability to compete in the job market and how we can best use what we’ve learned at college in our future job .
my brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sisters bureau and lifted out a tissue-wrapped package. this, he said, is not a slip. this is lingerie. he discarded the tissue and handed me the slip.
it was exquisite, silk, handmade and trimmed with a cobweb of lace. the price tag with an astronomical figure on it was still attached.
jan bought this the first time we went to new york, at least 8 or 9 years ago. she never wore it. she was saving it for a special occasion.
well, i guess this is the occasion.
he took the slip from me and put it on the bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the mortician. his hands lingered on the soft material for a moment, then he slammed the drawer shut and turned to me, dont ever save anything for a special occasion. every day you re alive is a special occasion.
i remembered those words through the funeral and the days that followed when i helped him and my niece attend to all the sad chores that follow an unexpected death. i thought about them on the plane returning to california from the midwestern town where my sisters family lives. i thought about all the things that she hadnt seen or heard or done. i thought about the things that she had done without realizing that they were special.
im still thinking about his words, and theyve changed the weeds in the garden. im spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to savour, not endure. im trying to recognize these moment now and cherish them.
im not saving anything; we use our good china and crystal for every special. event such as losing a pound, getting the sink unstopped, the first camellia blossom… i wear my good blazer to the market if i feel like it. my theory is if i look prosperous, i can shell out $28. 49 for one small bag of groceries without wincing. im not saving my good perfume for special parties s; clerks in hardware stores and tellers in banks have noses that function as well as my party going friends.
someday and one of these days are losing their grip on my vocabulary. if its worth seeing or hearing or doing, i want to see and hear and do it now. im not sure what my sister wouldve done had she know that she wouldnt be here for the tomorrow we all take for granted.
i think she would have called family members and a few close friends. she might have called a few former friends to apologize, and mend fences for past squabbles. i like to think she would have gone out for a chinese dinner, her favorite food. im guessing. ill never know.
its those little things left undone that would make me angry if i knew that my hours were limited. angry because i put off seeing good friends whom i was going to get in touch with someday. angry because i hadnt written certain letters that i intended to write one of these days. angry and sorry that i didnt tell my husband and daughter often enough how much i truly love them.
im trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter and luster to our lives. and every morning when i open my eyes, i tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath truly, is... a gift from god.
ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon! i’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. i hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.
first i want to ask you some questions:
1、do you know what is youth?
2、how do you master your youth?
youth
youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years . we grow old by deserting our ideals.
years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .
whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . in the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
