一 My view of success
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good evening! I am very glad to be here to share with you my view of success. Everybody desires success but what on earth is success?
You may ask me “Is fortune success? Is fame success? Is a high status success?” No, I don’t think so. Although they may be called success in some way, I think success lies more in the success of our striving for success. For example, China’s entry into the WTO is a success; Beijing’s bid for the 2008 Olympics is a success; our national football team’s dash into the World Cup is a success. However, have you imagined the efforts it took to yield these successful examples? Many people only concentrate on the results but don’t pay enough attention to the process entailed to success.
What made the process and the eventual success possible? The answer is trying and constant trying. If we had quitted, success would have escaped from us however much we yelled for it. In other words, it is perseverance that has made and will make success available to us.
Therefore, whenever we begin to do anything, we should not always lay emphasis on the results only. Keep in mind that the process of chasing success may get us lots of experience, may make us more intelligent, may make more determined and prepared for next endeavour. Even if we don’t succeed in the end, the process will contribute to us in that it will prepare us for the future.
As we all know, Rose, a famous brand, which plays a key role in leading the fashion home and abroad, is enjoying what we call prosperity and wide prospect. For the director and all the staff, it is definitely an amazing success. However, more attention should be given to what it took to make their dream come into reality.
As to me, standing here giving a speech is also a success to some extent. No matter what the results are, I surely will get a lot of experience and make lots of friends because it is more important that I have done what I can.
I would like to quote a great British naturalist John Ray as saying, “success belongs to the persevering”. My friends, as long as you keep trying, success will approach you and hug you finally.
At last, I wish this oral competition a great success, wish you all success! Thank you for being with me!

三 My Definition of Success
By Chen Heng 陈恒 上海外国语大学(获得第五届全国英语演讲比赛冠军)
“Once upon a time, there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. To all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. One day, into the king's palace came a handsome young prince..." Well, you know the rest. The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the princess's hand triumphantly.
And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line "And they live happily every after."
Why aren't we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, I would say, so unimaginative? How can a story like that endure generations of repetition`? Because, I think, it is a typical success story. It is highly philosophical and symbolic. By implication, we see a 4-step definition of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess; 2 ) challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks; 3 ) the process of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; and 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage.
The story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result. The reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa. If a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence. The term "success", to be sure. will not sit still for easy definition. But as I understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor. To clarify my view, let me give another analogy.
If we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. If we further changed the rules by not allowing Arsenal's defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. In accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value. The sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.
The concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative. Something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person. In acquiring the ability to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success. That's why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly to the field of science.
I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this. I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level contest.But I chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. Now here I am. If I come out first, it will be a great success for me. If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. For me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because I have truly gained by participating.
Let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of success. You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too.
Thank you.
译文:成功之我见
“很久以前,有个国王,他的女儿貌美如花。老国王向所有来求婚的男士提出了三个任务作为挑战,而每一项任务都异常艰巨,几乎不可能完成。一天,来了一位年轻英俊的王子……”好了,下面的故事你们都知道了。三项任务在不同的版本中各不相同,但关键部分的情节都如出一辙:王子成功地过关,得到了公主的芳心。而故事的结局也都一样,最后一句都写道:“从此他们幸福地生活在一起。
为什么我们对如此美妙、如此不切实际,而我要说,如此缺乏想象力的东西这么乐此不疲呢?这样的故事又如何能够经历几代人的重复?我想,因为它是典型的成功的例子。故事的思想性很强,具有代表性。通过故事带给我们的启示,我们认识到了成功定义中的四个步骤;第一,目标的设定,有如故事里美丽的公主;第二,所遇到的困难和挑战,就像三大任务;第三,克服困难的过程,故事中青年经历重重难关可以作为象征;第四,就是成功的果实,如同幸福的婚姻。
这个故事不仅迎合了人们内心深处对成功的向往,也强调了过程和结果的不可分离。如果通往成功的道路崎岖曲折,那么成功的回报必然硕果累累,反之亦然。如果一个人继承了父辈的百万家产而生活得轻松富足,那么,即使在物质上,他也不能算是个成功人士,因为,他的财富并没有经过艰难困苦而获得。确切地说,“成功”这个词,不是个静态简单的定义。在我的理解中,真正意义上的成功是奋斗的过程和经历了奋斗之后赢得的满意的结果。请让我另举一例来阐明我的见解。
如果我们试着改变足球的比赛规则,将球门放得很大,换下大卫·希曼或其他任何的守门员,这样,随便哪个“大卫”,比如说,“大卫·贝克汉姆”,就可以轻松进球,然而这样进一球却不能给他带来成功的震颤与喜悦。如果我们再改一改比赛规则,不让阿森纳队的防守来守门,那么,贝克汉姆只要动动手,其实就是抬抬脚就能进一球,那样的话、,实际上也没有什么比赛可言了,因为赢球的意义已经不存在了。在接受挑战、克服困难和经历磨难的过程中,“成功”的价值才得以丰满。取得成果的意义和所克服的艰难的程度成正比。所谓成功的概念不是一成不变的.而昙相对而言的,因为困难的性质也是相对意义上的。
正常人不费力气做成的事对于一个残疾人来说也许相当困难。获得了同正常人一样的能力,这个残疾人就获得了成功。这便是我们为什么崇敬史蒂芬·霍金的原因—虽然行动不便,受到了轮椅的限制,他依然为科学界作出了巨大的贡献。
就我自己而言,生性羞涩,容易怯场,不得不鼓起非常大的勇气来参加此次的演讲比赛。我完全可以待在一边,不参加大学级别的比赛,而落得轻松自在。可是,我还是选择了接受这一挑战来面对困难。现在我来了,如果我能够得第一的话.这对我来说就是巨大的成功。如果,我是最后一名—我希望情况不是这样—但如果我真的是最后一名,我也不会认为这次的尝试是一次失败,反而我要把它当作一次真正的成功来庆贺,因为我一部分的目标是对自己性格的锻炼—更加坚强、勇敢地面对困难。对我来说,这标志着我在通向成功人生的漫漫征途中又向前迈进了一步,尽管是很小的一步,但是我确实通过参与真正地获得了收益。
回到我们年轻英俊的王子和对“成功”的四步骤定义上吧,您也许已经注意到了财富、地位和名誉等这些世俗的标准在故事中并未提及,相反故事强调了克服重重困难的过程。古代的智慧已经对成功的意义下了定义,这也是我的定义。
谢谢!

Is your definition of success a fatal mistake?
For some, success is defined in terms of the dollar amount on a paycheck. For others, it's the title on their business card. Others may define success in terms of the accolades and awards they have won.
But the problem with how people define success these days is that when they're forced to change it, they can't. Look at the businessmen who have committed suicide because they have lost fortunes. Consider the workers who are fired and then go back to work, armed with a gun.
Extreme cases, sure. Not everyone considers killing themselves or others when their livelihood is threatened. But it does point out that maybe we need to revisit our own definition of success.
Start by completing this definition: "Success to me is…"
After you complete this sentence, then review it and determine if you're on the path to achieving that success. If you were to lose your job or money tomorrow, would your definition of success still be valid? Or, would you consider yourself a failure?
I remember a job where I worked long, stressful hours and often labored for a boss who had mood swings like a freaking roller coaster. It made for a tense situation, to say the least. One day I was talking to a co-worker and the exhaustion was overwhelming. I felt so dissatisfied, frustrated and even angry. Then it hit me: If I died that day, I didn't want the only thing on my tombstone to be "Always met her deadlines."
Ugh, I remember thinking. I wanted my life to account for more than that. It wasn't until months later that I started making some real changes in my life, changes that I know made me much better able to balance my life and devote time and effort to more than my job.
Right now, times are tough and some of us are beginning to panic. But I think it's a golden opportunity to really think about what is important in your life, and weed out the things that don't really matter.
You are the one who must define what success is to you. One thing I know for sure: You are more than a job title, you are worth more than a number on a paycheck and you are more than an award to hang on your wall. Is the destination you have in mind worth the road you must travel? Only you can answer that.
你对成功的定义是一个致命错误吗?
有些人用薪水定义成功。对另一些人来说,成功是名片上的头衔。其它人也许根据赞誉和奖励来定义。
对于很多人来说,问题在于,让他们改变自己对于成功的定义是不可能的。看看那些因为损失钱财而自杀的商人,想想被解雇后带了一只枪回公司的员工。
当然,这些都是极端例子。并不是每个人在生计受到威胁的时候会自杀或杀人。但这的确说明,也许我们需要重新定义成功。
首先,完成这个句子:“成功对我而言是……”
当你完成了这个句子,然后重新审视一下,你是否处于取得这种成功的轨道上。如果你明天失去工作或钱财,你对成功的定义还有效吗?你会认为自己是一个失败者吗?
我曾长期从事一份有压力的工作,情绪无常的老板让人心力交瘁,至少让局势紧张。一天,同事交谈时,我感到筋疲力尽。我觉得非常不满、沮丧甚至是愤怒。突然萌生一个想法:如果我那天死了,我可不愿意我的墓志铭只有一句:“总能按时完成任务。”
呃,我思考着,我希望生活有更多意义。数月后,我开始对生活做出一些切实改变,让我更能平衡生活,而不只是把时间和精力花在工作上。
时下不景气,有些人开始惊恐。但是我认为这是一个千载难逢的机会,让你认真思考你的生活中什么是重要的,并剔除那些不要紧的东西。
只有你自己能为自己定义成功。有一点我清楚:你不只意味着一个头衔,不只意味着工资单上的数字,也不只意味着挂在墙上的那个奖励。为了到达你心中的目的地,你一定得走这样一条路吗?只有你能回答。

你对成功是如何定义的?你觉得怎样才能取得成功呢?百文网小编精心为大家搜集整理了对成功的定义英语演讲,大家一起来看看吧。
What Is Success?
What is success? Different people hold views on This question. Some think that one is successful if he can make a great deal of money. Others argue that success means holding an important government post. Still others believe that whoever has got high academic title is successful. It is clear that there are quite different opinions on success.
In order to become successful, you should first of all be both perseverant and hardworking. As you know, whatever you do, there are always two possible results: success and failure. When you fail, you should never lose heart. On the contrary, you must build up your confidence and work even harder. You should always keep in mind that perseverance is the mother of success and industry is the key to it. In addition, you should pay great attention to your work method. It is necessary for you to sum up your experience constantly and improve the efficiency of your work. Finally, it is important for you to get along well with your co-workers, care for each other and help each other. If you follow these principles, you will certainly achieve remarkable success in the future.
In my opinion, success means achieving brilliant results in one’s work, that is, making outstanding contributions to the development of the country and bringing happiness to the people. So my conclusion is that even if one has made great progress in what he does, I don’t think there’s any reason for him to be conceited.
演讲作为一种重要的交流方式在西方拥有长远的历史,可以追溯到亚里士多德时期。随着人类社会的发展,演讲一直作为一种重要的交流方式应用于各种场合之中,并且发挥着越来越重要的作用。以下是百文网小编精心为大家搜集整理的成功的经历英语演讲,希望对大家有所帮助!
Thank you very kindly, my friends. As I listened to Ralph Abernathy and his eloquent and generous introduction and then thought about myself, I wondered who he was talking about. It's always good to have your closest friend and associate to say something good about you. And Ralph Abernathy is the best friend that I have in the world. I'm delighted to see each of you here tonight in spite of a storm warning. You reveal that you are determined to go on anyhow.
Something is happening in Memphis; something is happening in our world. And you know, if I were standing at the beginning of time, with the possibility of taking a kind of general and panoramic view of the whole of human history up to now, and the Almighty said to me, "Martin Luther King, which age would you like to live in?" I would take my mental flight by Egypt and I would watch God's children in their magnificent trek from the dark dungeons of Egypt through, or rather across the Red Sea, through the wilderness on toward the promised land. And in spite of its magnificence, I wouldn't stop there.
I would move on by Greece and take my mind to Mount Olympus. And I would see Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Euripides and Aristophanes assembled around the Parthenon. And I would watch them around the Parthenon as they discussed the great and eternal issues of reality. But I wouldn't stop there.
I would go on, even to the great heyday of the Roman Empire. And I would see developments around there, through various emperors and leaders. But I wouldn't stop there.
I would even come up to the day of the Renaissance, and get a quick picture of all that the Renaissance did for the cultural and aesthetic life of man. But I wouldn't stop there.
I would even go by the way that the man for whom I am named had his habitat. And I would watch Martin Luther as he tacked his ninety-five theses on the door at the church of Wittenberg. But I wouldn't stop there.
I would come on up even to 1863, and watch a vacillating President by the name of Abraham Lincoln finally come to the conclusion that he had to sign the Emancipation Proclamation. But I wouldn't stop there.
I would even come up to the early thirties, and see a man grappling with the problems of the bankruptcy of his nation. And come with an eloquent cry that we have nothing to fear but "fear itself." But I wouldn't stop there.
Strangely enough, I would turn to the Almighty, and say, "If you allow me to live just a few years in the second half of the 20th century, I will be happy."
Now that's a strange statement to make, because the world is all messed up. The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land; confusion all around. That's a strange statement. But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars. And I see God working in this period of the twentieth century in a way that men, in some strange way, are responding.
Something is happening in our world. The masses of people are rising up. And wherever they are assembled today, whether they are in Johannesburg, South Africa; Nairobi, Kenya; Accra, Ghana; New York City; Atlanta, Georgia; Jackson, Mississippi; or Memphis, Tennessee -- the cry is always the same: "We want to be free."
And another reason that I'm happy to live in this period is that we have been forced to a point where we are going to have to grapple with the problems that men have been trying to grapple with through history, but the demands didn't force them to do it. Survival demands that we grapple with them. Men, for years now, have been talking about war and peace. But now, no longer can they just talk about it. It is no longer a choice between violence and nonviolence in this world; it's nonviolence or nonexistence. That is where we are today.
And also in the human rights revolution, if something isn't done, and done in a hurry, to bring the colored peoples of the world out of their long years of poverty, their long years of hurt and neglect, the whole world is doomed. Now, I'm just happy that God has allowed me to live in this period to see what is unfolding. And I'm happy that He's allowed me to be in Memphis.
I can remember -- I can remember when Negroes were just going around as Ralph has said, so often, scratching where they didn't itch, and laughing when they were not tickled. But that day is all over. We mean business now, and we are determined to gain our rightful place in God's world.
And that's all this whole thing is about. We aren't engaged in any negative protest and in any negative arguments with anybody. We are saying that we are determined to be men. We are determined to be people. We are saying -- We are saying that we are God's children. And that we are God's children, we don't have to live like we are forced to live.
Now, what does all of this mean in this great period of history? It means that we've got to stay together. We've got to stay together and maintain unity. You know, whenever Pharaoh wanted to prolong the period of slavery in Egypt, he had a favorite, favorite formula for doing it. What was that? He kept the slaves fighting among themselves. But whenever the slaves get together, something happens in Pharaoh's court, and he cannot hold the slaves in slavery. When the slaves get together, that's the beginning of getting out of slavery. Now let us maintain unity.
Secondly, let us keep the issues where they are. The issue is injustice. The issue is the refusal of Memphis to be fair and honest in its dealings with its public servants, who happen to be sanitation workers. Now, we've got to keep attention on that. That's always the problem with a little violence. You know what happened the other day, and the press dealt only with the window-breaking. I read the articles. They very seldom got around to mentioning the fact that one thousand, three hundred sanitation workers are on strike, and that Memphis is not being fair to them, and that Mayor Loeb is in dire need of a doctor. They didn't get around to that.
Now we're going to march again, and we've got to march again, in order to put the issue where it is supposed to be -- and force everybody to see that there are thirteen hundred of God's children here suffering, sometimes going hungry, going through dark and dreary nights wondering how this thing is going to come out. That's the issue. And we've got to say to the nation: We know how it's coming out. For when people get caught up with that which is right and they are willing to sacrifice for it, there is no stopping point short of victory.
We aren't going to let any mace stop us. We are masters in our nonviolent movement in disarming police forces; they don't know what to do. I've seen them so often. I remember in Birmingham, Alabama, when we were in that majestic struggle there, we would move out of the 16th Street Baptist Church day after day; by the hundreds we would move out. And Bull Connor would tell them to send the dogs forth, and they did come; but we just went before the dogs singing, "Ain't gonna let nobody turn me around."
Bull Connor next would say, "Turn the fire hoses on." And as I said to you the other night, Bull Connor didn't know history. He knew a kind of physics that somehow didn't relate to the transphysics that we knew about. And that was the fact that there was a certain kind of fire that no water could put out. And we went before the fire hoses; we had known water. If we were Baptist or some other denominations, we had been immersed. If we were Methodist, and some others, we had been sprinkled, but we knew water. That couldn't stop us.
And we just went on before the dogs and we would look at them; and we'd go on before the water hoses and we would look at it, and we'd just go on singing "Over my head I see freedom in the air." And then we would be thrown in the paddy wagons, and sometimes we were stacked in there like sardines in a can. And they would throw us in, and old Bull would say, "Take 'em off," and they did; and we would just go in the paddy wagon singing, "We Shall Overcome." And every now and then we'd get in jail, and we'd see the jailers looking through the windows being moved by our prayers, and being moved by our words and our songs. And there was a power there which Bull Connor couldn't adjust to; and so we ended up transforming Bull into a steer, and we won our struggle in Birmingham. Now we've got to go on in Memphis just like that. I call upon you to be with us when we go out Monday.
Now about injunctions: We have an injunction and we're going into court tomorrow morning to fight this illegal, unconstitutional injunction. All we say to America is, "Be true to what you said on paper." If I lived in China or even Russia, or any totalitarian country, maybe I could understand some of these illegal injunctions. Maybe I could understand the denial of certain basic First Amendment privileges, because they hadn't committed themselves to that over there. But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of press. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right. And so just as I say, we aren't going to let dogs or water hoses turn us around, we aren't going to let any injunction turn us around. We are going on.
We need all of you. And you know what's beautiful to me is to see all of these ministers of the Gospel. It's a marvelous picture. Who is it that is supposed to articulate the longings and aspirations of the people more than the preacher? Somehow the preacher must have a kind of fire shut up in his bones. And whenever injustice is around he tell it. Somehow the preacher must be an Amos, and saith, "When God speaks who can but prophesy?" Again with Amos, "Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream." Somehow the preacher must say with Jesus, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me," and he's anointed me to deal with the problems of the poor."
And I want to commend the preachers, under the leadership of these noble men: James Lawson, one who has been in this struggle for many years; he's been to jail for struggling; he's been kicked out of Vanderbilt University for this struggle, but he's still going on, fighting for the rights of his people. Reverend Ralph Jackson, Billy Kiles; I could just go right on down the list, but time will not permit. But I want to thank all of them. And I want you to thank them, because so often, preachers aren't concerned about anything but themselves. And I'm always happy to see a relevant ministry.
It's all right to talk about "long white robes over yonder," in all of its symbolism. But ultimately people want some suits and dresses and shoes to wear down here! It's all right to talk about "streets flowing with milk and honey," but God has commanded us to be concerned about the slums down here, and his children who can't eat three square meals a day. It's all right to talk about the new Jerusalem, but one day, God's preacher must talk about the new New York, the new Atlanta, the new Philadelphia, the new Los Angeles, the new Memphis, Tennessee. This is what we have to do.
Now the other thing we'll have to do is this: Always anchor our external direct action with the power of economic withdrawal. Now, we are poor people. Individually, we are poor when you compare us with white society in America. We are poor. Never stop and forget that collectively -- that means all of us together -- collectively we are richer than all the nations in the world, with the exception of nine. Did you ever think about that? After you leave the United States, Soviet Russia, Great Britain, West Germany, France, and I could name the others, the American Negro collectively is richer than most nations of the world. We have an annual income of more than thirty billion dollars a year, which is more than all of the exports of the United States, and more than the national budget of Canada. Did you know that? That's power right there, if we know how to pool it.
We don't have to argue with anybody. We don't have to curse and go around acting bad with our words. We don't need any bricks and bottles. We don't need any Molotov cocktails. We just need to go around to these stores, and to these massive industries in our country, and say, "God sent us by here, to say to you that you're not treating his children right. And we've come by here to ask you to make the first item on your agenda fair treatment, where God's children are concerned. Now, if you are not prepared to do that, we do have an agenda that we must follow. And our agenda calls for withdrawing economic support from you."
And so, as a result of this, we are asking you tonight, to go out and tell your neighbors not to buy Coca-Cola in Memphis. Go by and tell them not to buy Sealtest milk. Tell them not to buy -- what is the other bread? -- Wonder Bread. And what is the other bread company, Jesse? Tell them not to buy Hart's bread. As Jesse Jackson has said, up to now, only the garbage men have been feeling pain; now we must kind of redistribute the pain. We are choosing these companies because they haven't been fair in their hiring policies; and we are choosing them because they can begin the process of saying they are going to support the needs and the rights of these men who are on strike. And then they can move on town -- downtown and tell Mayor Loeb to do what is right.
But not only that, we've got to strengthen black institutions. I call upon you to take your money out of the banks downtown and deposit your money in Tri-State Bank. We want a "bank-in" movement in Memphis. Go by the savings and loan association. I'm not asking you something that we don't do ourselves at SCLC. Judge Hooks and others will tell you that we have an account here in the savings and loan association from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. We are telling you to follow what we are doing. Put your money there. You have six or seven black insurance companies here in the city of Memphis. Take out your insurance there. We want to have an "insurance-in."
Now these are some practical things that we can do. We begin the process of building a greater economic base. And at the same time, we are putting pressure where it really hurts. I ask you to follow through here.
Now, let me say as I move to my conclusion that we've got to give ourselves to this struggle until the end. Nothing would be more tragic than to stop at this point in Memphis. We've got to see it through. And when we have our march, you need to be there. If it means leaving work, if it means leaving school -- be there. Be concerned about your brother. You may not be on strike. But either we go up together, or we go down together.
Let us develop a kind of dangerous unselfishness. One day a man came to Jesus, and he wanted to raise some questions about some vital matters of life. At points he wanted to trick Jesus, and show him that he knew a little more than Jesus knew and throw him off base....
Now that question could have easily ended up in a philosophical and theological debate. But Jesus immediately pulled that question from mid-air, and placed it on a dangerous curve between Jerusalem and Jericho. And he talked about a certain man, who fell among thieves. You remember that a Levite and a priest passed by on the other side. They didn't stop to help him. And finally a man of another race came by. He got down from his beast, decided not to be compassionate by proxy. But he got down with him, administered first aid, and helped the man in need. Jesus ended up saying, this was the good man, this was the great man, because he had the capacity to project the "I" into the "thou," and to be concerned about his brother.
Now you know, we use our imagination a great deal to try to determine why the priest and the Levite didn't stop. At times we say they were busy going to a church meeting, an ecclesiastical gathering, and they had to get on down to Jerusalem so they wouldn't be late for their meeting. At other times we would speculate that there was a religious law that "One who was engaged in religious ceremonials was not to touch a human body twenty-four hours before the ceremony." And every now and then we begin to wonder whether maybe they were not going down to Jerusalem -- or down to Jericho, rather to organize a "Jericho Road Improvement Association." That's a possibility. Maybe they felt that it was better to deal with the problem from the causal root, rather than to get bogged down with an individual effect.
But I'm going to tell you what my imagination tells me. It's possible that those men were afraid. You see, the Jericho road is a dangerous road. I remember when Mrs. King and I were first in Jerusalem. We rented a car and drove from Jerusalem down to Jericho. And as soon as we got on that road, I said to my wife, "I can see why Jesus used this as the setting for his parable." It's a winding, meandering road. It's really conducive for ambushing. You start out in Jerusalem, which is about 1200 miles -- or rather 1200 feet above sea level. And by the time you get down to Jericho, fifteen or twenty minutes later, you're about 2200 feet below sea level. That's a dangerous road. In the days of Jesus it came to be known as the "Bloody Pass." And you know, it's possible that the priest and the Levite looked over that man on the ground and wondered if the robbers were still around. Or it's possible that they felt that the man on the ground was merely faking. And he was acting like he had been robbed and hurt, in order to seize them over there, lure them there for quick and easy seizure. And so the first question that the priest asked -- the first question that the Levite asked was, "If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?" But then the Good Samaritan came by. And he reversed the question: "If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?"
That's the question before you tonight. Not, "If I stop to help the sanitation workers, what will happen to my job. Not, "If I stop to help the sanitation workers what will happen to all of the hours that I usually spend in my office every day and every week as a pastor?" The question is not, "If I stop to help this man in need, what will happen to me?" The question is, "If I do not stop to help the sanitation workers, what will happen to them?" That's the question.
Let us rise up tonight with a greater readiness. Let us stand with a greater determination. And let us move on in these powerful days, these days of challenge to make America what it ought to be. We have an opportunity to make America a better nation. And I want to thank God, once more, for allowing me to be here with you.
You know, several years ago, I was in New York City autographing the first book that I had written. And while sitting there autographing books, a demented black woman came up. The only question I heard from her was, "Are you Martin Luther King?" And I was looking down writing, and I said, "Yes." And the next minute I felt something beating on my chest. Before I knew it I had been stabbed by this demented woman. I was rushed to Harlem Hospital. It was a dark Saturday afternoon. And that blade had gone through, and the X-rays revealed that the tip of the blade was on the edge of my aorta, the main artery. And once that's punctured, your drowned in your own blood -- that's the end of you.
It came out in the New York Times the next morning, that if I had merely sneezed, I would have died. Well, about four days later, they allowed me, after the operation, after my chest had been opened, and the blade had been taken out, to move around in the wheel chair in the hospital. They allowed me to read some of the mail that came in, and from all over the states and the world, kind letters came in. I read a few, but one of them I will never forget. I had received one from the President and the Vice-President. I've forgotten what those telegrams said. I'd received a visit and a letter from the Governor of New York, but I've forgotten what that letter said. But there was another letter that came from a little girl, a young girl who was a student at the White Plains High School. And I looked at that letter, and I'll never forget it. It said simply,
Dear Dr. King,
I am a ninth-grade student at the White Plains High School."
And she said,
While it should not matter, I would like to mention that I'm a white girl. I read in the paper of your misfortune, and of your suffering. And I read that if you had sneezed, you would have died. And I'm simply writing you to say that I'm so happy that you didn't sneeze.
And I want to say tonight -- I want to say tonight that I too am happy that I didn't sneeze. Because if I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here in 1960, when students all over the South started sitting-in at lunch counters. And I knew that as they were sitting in, they were really standing up for the best in the American dream, and taking the whole nation back to those great wells of democracy which were dug deep by the Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here in 1961, when we decided to take a ride for freedom and ended segregation in inter-state travel.
If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here in 1962, when Negroes in Albany, Georgia, decided to straighten their backs up. And whenever men and women straighten their backs up, they are going somewhere, because a man can't ride your back unless it is bent.
If I had sneezed -- If I had sneezed I wouldn't have been here in 1963, when the black people of Birmingham, Alabama, aroused the conscience of this nation, and brought into being the Civil Rights Bill.
If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have had a chance later that year, in August, to try to tell America about a dream that I had had.
If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been down in Selma, Alabama, to see the great Movement there.
If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been in Memphis to see a community rally around those brothers and sisters who are suffering.
I'm so happy that I didn't sneeze.
And they were telling me --. Now, it doesn't matter, now. It really doesn't matter what happens now. I left Atlanta this morning, and as we got started on the plane, there were six of us. The pilot said over the public address system, "We are sorry for the delay, but we have Dr. Martin Luther King on the plane. And to be sure that all of the bags were checked, and to be sure that nothing would be wrong with on the plane, we had to check out everything carefully. And we've had the plane protected and guarded all night."
And then I got into Memphis. And some began to say the threats, or talk about the threats that were out. What would happen to me from some of our sick white brothers?
Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountaintop.
And I don't mind.
Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land!

And so I'm happy, tonight.
I'm not worried about anything.
I'm not fearing any man!
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!!
(中文版部分翻译)
但是我要告诉你们我的想象力给我的启示。很可能其实是这些人都觉得害怕,你看,耶利哥之路是一条危险的路途。我还记得我和我的妻子第一次到耶路撒冷的情形。我们租了一辆车然后从耶路撒冷开往耶利哥,但我们上路之后,我就跟我妻子说道:“我现在明白为什么耶稣要拿这条路来作比喻了。”这是一条蜿蜒曲折的道路,非常有利于埋伏,你从耶路撒冷出发,这大约是1200英里,也即海平面以上1200英尺。而当15或者20分钟之后,你到达耶利哥时,你却在海平面以下2200英尺。那真是一条危险的路途啊!在耶稣的时代,它就以“血腥之途(Bloody Pass)”而为人所知。而且你知道,可能那个利未人和那个教士检查了地上的那个人,而怀疑那些盗贼是否仍在附近,抑或是他们认为这个人仅仅是在伪装,他只是装作被抢劫了被打伤了,目的是为了抓住他们,引诱他们从而快速而简单的捉住他们。所以那个利未人的第一个问题是:如果我停下来帮助这个人的话,有什么事会发生在我身上?但是接着那个好心的撒玛利亚人(Samaritan)过来了,他颠倒着这个问题:如果我不停下来帮助这个人的话他会怎么样?这就是今晚摆在我们面前的问题,不是“如果我停下来帮助这些环卫工人的话,我的工作会有什么影响?”不是“如果我停下来帮助这些环卫工人的话,那些我作为一个牧师花在办公室里的一天接一天,一个礼拜接一个礼拜的时间会怎么样?”问题不是:“如果我帮助了这个需要帮助的人,我会怎么样?”问题是:“如果我不帮助这些环卫工人的话,他会怎么样?”这才是我们的问题。
今晚让我们以更高的积极性起来反抗吧!让我们以更大的决心站起来!让我们在这伟大的时代继续前行,在这有机会使美国成为真正的美国的时代!我们有这样一个机会使美国成为一个更好的国家!同时,我要再一次感谢仁慈的主,让我能和你们在一起前行!
你们应该知道,几年前,那时我在纽约,为我的第一本书签名,当我坐在那里签名的时候,一个精神有问题的黑人妇女过来了,我听到他问的唯一一个问题就是:“你是马丁路德金吗?”但是我正埋头签名,我回答道:“是啊。”接着下一秒我就感觉到我的胸部被什么东西刺中了,在我意识到的时候我已经被这个精神有问题的妇女刺中了。我即刻被送到了Harlem医院,这是一个黑沉沉的礼拜六的下午。那柄刀穿透了我的胸部,通过X光片可以看到刀刃正好从主动脉的边缘穿过,一旦主动脉被刺穿,你就会被你的血所淹没,也就是你的生命将终结。第二天早上纽约时报上登出来了,如果我打了喷嚏的话,我就会死掉。四天之后,在手术之后,在我的胸口被打开刀刃被取出来之后,他们允许我坐在轮椅上在医院里四处走走,他们允许我看一些从美国乃至世界各地邮寄来的信件,善意的来信。我看了一些,但是只有一封我永远都不会忘记。我收到了一封总统先生和副总统先生的来信,但我已经忘了信上说了什么了。我还接受了纽约市长的访问以及他的一封信,我也几经忘了这封信上说的什么了。但是有一封信,来自一个小姑娘,她在白原高校(White Plains High School)念书,我看了那封信,我终生难忘。信很简单:“亲爱的金博士:我是一个在白原高校廿九年级的学生,”她说,“这虽然没有什么关系,但我还是要说出来,我是个白人女孩,我在报纸上看到你的不幸,你的遭遇。并且我读到如果你打了喷嚏的话,就会死掉,而我写这封信给你其实只是想告诉你,我真的很高兴你没有打喷嚏。”
今晚我想说,今晚,我想说,我也很高兴我没有打喷嚏,因为如果那个时候我打了喷嚏的话,1960年我就不会出现在这里,当时整个南部的(黑人)学生开始了在午餐台边坐着吃饭,而我知道当他们可以坐着吃饭的时候,他们正真正抬起头来实现着美国梦中最美妙的精神。他们带着整个国家回归到伟大的民主的源泉,这源泉由建国者们在《独立宣言》和《宪法》中深深挖掘。那个时候我打了喷嚏的话,1961年,我不会出现在这里,那时我们决定搭上自由之车,终止在州与州之间旅行时存在的隔离。如果那个时候我打了喷嚏的话,1962年我不会出现在这里,当时,在佐治亚的奥尔巴尼,人们决定挺直他们的腰杆,而一旦人们挺直了腰板,他们才会有所建树,因为人不能扛着背前行,除非他的背断掉了。如果那个时候我打了喷嚏的话,1963年我不会出现在这里,那时,阿拉巴马伯明翰的黑人们唤起了这个国家的良知,使民权法案获得了通过。如果那个时候我打了喷嚏的话,1964年我不会有机会告诉美国我一直以来的一个梦想。如果那个时候我打了喷嚏的话,我不会在阿拉巴马塞尔玛目睹一场伟大的运动。如果那个时候我打了喷嚏的话,我不会在孟菲斯看到一个团结了那么多饱受苦难的兄弟姐妹的社团。我真的很高兴我没有打喷嚏。
而他们告诉我---现在,没有。
善于发现,善于思考,处处都有成功力量的源泉。其实成功的本质是蕴藏在人的内心的,总想着成功的人,在什么地方都能受到启迪。成功的人生到底该是怎样的呢?以下是百文网小编精心为大家搜集整理的成功的人生英语演讲,希望对大家有所帮助!
“Once upon a time, there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. To all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. One day, into the king's palace came a handsome young prince..." Well, you know the rest. The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the princess's hand triumphantly.
And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line "And they live happily every after."
Why aren't we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, I would say, so unimaginative? How can a story like that endure generations of repetition`? Because, I think, it is a typical success story. It is highly philosophical and symbolic. By implication, we see a 4-step definition of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess; 2 ) challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks; 3 ) the process of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; and 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage.
The story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result. The reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa. If a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence. The term "success", to be sure. will not sit still for easy definition. But as I understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor. To clarify my view, let me give another analogy.
If we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. If we further changed the rules by not allowing Arsenal's defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. In accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value. The sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.
The concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative. Something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person. In acquiring the ability to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success. That's why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly to the field of science.
I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this. I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level contest.But I chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. Now here I am. If I come out first, it will be a great success for me. If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. For me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because I have truly gained by participating.
Let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of success. You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too.
Thank you.

Good morning. Ladies and gentlemen. Life has its ups and downs. I bet everyone here has gone through success and failures, am I right? Therefore, what's your understanding of success and failure? What do you think is the biggest success in one's life? XXX, can you share your idea with us?
Personally, I think success and failure are terms that don't necessarily call for a universal definition since all of us have our own definitions. That is to say, people can be successful in different areas such as in one's job and hobbies, living a successful private life, or running a successful relationship. Assume that there are two men, one is wealthy and the other is needy. The wealthy one loves making money and is always busy with his work. He is satisfied with his business though he hardly has time to have dinner with his wife and children. The needy one loves leisure. He has an easy but low-paid job so that he can have time to spend
with his family. In general, he could have delicious and warm dinner with his families every day. He's happy, too. Which one do you think is more successful in his life? In my opinion, they are both successful because they both get what they want.
Everyone will be successful in his or her own area. So, never look down on anyone including yourself. One of my friends is crazy about computer games, thus neglecting his study. All the teachers regarded him as a failure. But actually he is successful in the games. He has won the first prize in many E-sports games.
Another example to support my statement. I think that everyone knows Luo Yufeng who is in America now. Severals years ago, she was under the spotlight and attracted a strong criticism. It seemed that her life was utterly a failure since everyone was laughing at her. But, I think she is successful not because she’s famous but she wanted to immigrant to America and achieved.
In many cases, whether we are successful or not is judged by others, actually, we should judge it by
ourselves. As long as you have your own goal, you know exactly what you want, you are successful when you achieve it. So, leave all the negative comments outside the door. Be yourself, follow your own cause and enjoy your own success!
Thank you sincerely!

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 them 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's hopes and ideals.
Different people have different ideas about success; cause people's hopes and ideas vary from one another. But I am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility. These are the best treasures. So now I am very proud that I have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you. It is my success, cause I raise up to challenge my hope.
What is success? Everyone has his own interpretation as I do. But I am sure every success leads to an ever-brighter future. So ladies and gentlemen, believe in our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a successful life!
Wish you all good success!

看完这次运动会,我觉得,最重要的还是参与意识,没有重在参与的良好心态,哪有第一名的好成绩呢?虽然我们班运动员表现出色,可是其他班的运动员也在努力向前,他们抱着重在参与贵在坚持的宗旨,虽没有别人的成绩优异,却能保持平衡心态,欣赏别人的优秀,弥补自己的不足,反思自己,下次继续努力,而不是痛恨获奖的人,更没有嫉妒心。
是啊,比赛就是让大家赛出风格,赛出友谊,赛出实力,其次才是赛出成绩。拿第一,只说明你有实力,没有拿第一,也是本班的运动健将,不能因此而失落,同学们也要加以鼓励,不能因为我比别人强或者别人比我强就讽刺别人或嫉妒别人,心胸坦荡方能进步。
在这次运动会上,有一个场景让我深受感动。一个刚跑完200米的小女孩,又要面对800米跑道。她深深的吸了一口气,面无惧色,又一次迈开双腿奔向终点。一开始,它还夹在几个精兵强将中间,但毕竟刚跑完200米,两圈后,她已经落后了。到了第四圈,她真是累垮了,面色惨白,双腿艰难的挪动着,一步,两步,三步……她仍然坚持着。突然,掌声音乐一起响起来,全校师生都在为她加油。冲吧,冲向那胜利的终点,冲向那追求的地方。虽然你是最后,但你的精神却为你赢得了胜利。
我健康,我快乐,我参与。让我们抱着阳光心态,积极参与到运动行列。

成功属于那些勇于坚持的人,在生活中学会坚持,你离成功就不远了。百文网小编精心为大家搜集整理了因坚持而成功的500字作文,大家一起来看看吧。
今天我从电视里看到,全运会上一个叫郑晶的田径选手,
她虽然跑的最后一名,但是她用坚持不懈的精神赢得了观众的掌声。她说:“我虽然是最后一名,但是我跑到了终点。”
这次全运会还让一群香港人感受到了运动的快乐。他们都是些来自不同职业的业余选手,组成一支曲棍球队,尽管他们打输了,但是我们依然能够看见他们那一张张微笑的脸。他们说:“我们虽然打输了,但是这次全运会,让我们感受到了打球的乐趣。”
我认为在比赛中无论你是第一名,还是最后一名,只要你绽放了你的坚持,努力走到终点,观众一样会给你鼓掌,只要能够赢得观众的掌声,就是最好的“金牌”。
不只是他们,在我们的生活中也有这样的人。譬如霍金,这位在轮椅上生活了三十余年的科学巨匠。曾经一位年轻的女记者问霍金:“霍金先生,卢伽雷病已将你永远固定在轮椅上,你不认为命运让你失去太多了吗?
这个问题显得有些突兀和尖锐,报告厅内顿时鸦雀无声。而霍金的脸庞依然充满恬静的微笑,他用还能活动的手指,艰难地敲击键盘,于是,随着合成器发出的标准伦敦音,宽大的投射屏上缓慢,然而醒目地显示如下的一段文字:
我的手指还能动,我的大脑还能思维,我有终生追求的理想,对了,我还有一颗感恩的心……
同学们,让我们一起努力,加油吧!只要有坚持不懈和持之以恒的精神就能够成功。
生活中任何成功的道路都不会是一帆风顺的,在困难面前只要我们不退缩,勇敢面对,坚守信心,就一定能取得成功。所谓的成功就在不断的于坚持。百文网小编精心为大家搜集整理了因坚持而成功的500字作文,大家一起来看看吧。
体育课上,正玩耍的我突然听到一些同学的抱怨声:“啊,又要长跑了?!” 听到这个消息,虽然一些人不乐意,但我却暗自高兴:对于长跑我可是有一个小窍门噢,悄悄告诉你吧—一开始不要急于跑在最前面,而是尽量跟在前几名的后面。最后冲刺时才爆发力量,一鼓作气超过第一名(记住,是长跑,短跑时可要慎用!)。1000米长跑,一共两圈半。
全班40几人,分成四组。我在最后一组,这组有十来个人。每个人站在起跑线上,都摆开架势,像兔子一样竖起耳朵。“嘟—–”哨声响起,我下意识地冲了出去,紧跟在第一名后面。奋力奔跑中,隐约听到在跑道两旁围观的同学中传出“XXX,加油!”的呐喊声,却一直没有听到我的名字,想到前三组赛跑时,我为别人加油,把嘴巴都喊干了,不由得心里有些委屈,赌气地想:“难道没人为我加油,我就跑不出个第一吗?!”第一圈,我一直保持在第二的位置,跑得轻松极了;第二圈刚开始,前面的同学步态就有些乱了,速度也慢了下来,我保持原来的速度,开始和她并排了,并很快超过了她。
可是,渐渐地,我也感到腿有些发软。突然,一个动听的声音传进我的耳鼓:“加油,赵雨晴!”对我来说,这一声加油犹如雪中送炭,使我内心充满了温暖。两条腿马上感觉轻快了不少。剩下最后半圈的时候,我已经气喘吁吁,腿软绵绵的,头也又疼又晕,脚底好像粘了一大块口香糖,每一步都很吃力。离终点只有两三米了,看起来却似乎远在天涯。
我感觉特别难受,摇摇欲坠。但心中有个声音在呐喊:“邓亚萍!刘翔!毅力!坚持!”我终于挺住了,不但没有停下来,反而加快脚步,一下冲过了终点!每个人都会遇到困难,但只有坚持不懈才能成功。我用毅力战胜了自我,第一属于我!

候选人中谁能做到知己知彼,谁就抢占了赢得竞选的先机。以下是百文网小编为大家整理的关于班干部竞选成功演讲稿,欢迎阅读!
各位同学大家好!
今天,很荣幸走上讲台,和那么多乐意为班级作贡献的同学一道,竞选班干部,团干部职务。我想,我将用旺盛的精力、清醒的头脑来做好班干部工作,来发挥我的特长帮助同学和水电1045班集体共同努力进步。我很荣幸上一学期全班同学和张老师能给我担任班长的机会,在过去的一年中,我付出了很多,当然我也收获了很多。
首先我来总结一下我上一学期的工作,学期开始时我起草了:《安徽水电学院1045班班级管理制度》《安徽水电学院1045班班级纪律要求》《安徽水电学院1045班卫生值日安排表》等文件并得到了同学们的大力支持。学期中我班和0938班共同开展了题为《倡导文明言行·构建和谐校园》......
上一学期我们水电1045班在系学生会的各项总评中以绝对的优势,在全系总评中排名第五,其中我班的“倡导文明言行,构建和谐校园”团日活动还获得了水利系第一名的好成绩,班级内务一只是水利系第一名,班级早操、晚自习也一只是水利系前三等等。
我想我该当个实干家,不需要那些美丽的词汇来修饰。工作锻炼了我,生活造就了我。戴尔卡耐基说过“不要怕推销自己,只要你认为自己有才华,你就应该认为自己有资格担任这个或那个职务”。我相信,凭着我新锐不俗的“官念”,凭着我的勇气和才干,凭着我与大家同舟共济的深厚友情,这次竞选演讲给我带来的必定是下次的就职演说。
我会在任何时候,任何情况下,都首先是“想同学们之所想,急同学们之所急。”我决不信奉“无过就是功”的信条,恰恰相反,我认为一个班干部,团干部“无功就是过”。因为本人平时与大家相处融洽,人际关系较好,这样在客观上就减少了工作的阻力。我将与风华正茂的同学们在一起,指点江山,发出我们青春的呼喊。当师生之间发生矛盾时,我一定明辨是非,敢于坚持原则。特别是当教师的说法或做法不尽正确时,我将敢于积极为同学们谋求正当的权益如果同学们对我不信任,随时可以提出“不信任案”,对我进行弹劾。
你们放心,弹劾我不会像劾克林顿那样麻烦,我更不会死赖不走。既然是花,我就要开放;既然是树,我就要长成栋梁;既然是石头,我就要去铺出大路;既然是班干部,我就要成为一名出色的领航员!流星的光辉来自于宇宙中空气的摩擦,珍珠的璀璨来自贝壳的眼泪,而一个班级的优秀来自教导员,班干部,团干部的领导和全体同学的共同努力。我自信在同学们的帮助下,我能胜任这项工作,正由于这种内驱力,当我走向这个讲台的时候,我感到信心百倍。
同学们,你们拿着选票的手还会犹豫吗?谢谢大家的信任!
