英语演讲稿关于勇气
I am very glad to share my topic with you. Then today I'd like to talk something about courage.
Courage is not something that comes from flying to your heart in moments of need or in emergencies. Courage is not something that can be handed over to you through lessons either.
Courage is a way of life. It is as much a habit as anything else. Like getting up and brushing your teeth in the morning, or drinking coffee.
It’s a matter of routine more than anything else. People tend to speak of courage only in terms of deeds. For instance, they might speak of courage in the battlefield. Soldiers and policemen are supposed to show courage. Or they might refer to courage in the face of devastation. Flood-affected people or earthquake victims must show courage.
However, courage is not merely the name you can give to your putting up with a bad situation. After all, in a bad situation, there is not much one can do expect cope with whatever strength and forbearance you can muster.
The real test of courage is in our daily lives. Or should be.
The courage to speak the truth.All the time. Because lies are the biggest and most obvious sort of cowardice that all of us hide behind.
The courage to speak our mind and not stay silent, simply because we are afraid that other people might not agree with us. Of course, there will be conflicting views. And of course, conflict is unpleasant. But not speaking your mind can lead to much worse unpleasantness.
The courage to stand up for what we believe in.The courage to follow public rules and laws and insist that other people follow them too.
The courage to resist those who take easy ways out, which only leads to more corruption and red tape in our social systems.
Mark Twain has said, Courage is not the absence of fear. It is acting in spite of it. The sign of a courageous person, then, is someone who is feels, fear, recognizes fear and still goes on to do what he or she believes is right.
Thank you for listening to my speech in such a cold day.
勇气不是来自飞往你的心在需要的时候或在紧急情况下。勇气不是可以通过课程交给你。
勇气,是一种生活方式。它是一种习惯。早上起床,刷牙,或者喝咖啡。 这是一个例行公事胜过一切。人们往往只讲的勇气的行为。例如,他们可能会说在战场上的勇气。士兵和警察应该显示勇气。或者他们可能引用勇气面对灾难。受灾的人或地震受害者必须表现出勇气。
然而,勇气不仅仅是名字可以给你忍受糟糕的情况。毕竟,在一个糟糕的情况下,没有多少人能预计应付任何力量和忍耐你。
勇气的真正考验是在我们的日常生活中。或者应该。
说真话的勇气。所有的时间。因为谎言是最大和最明显的有点懦弱,我们都躲起来。
勇气说出我们的想法,而不是保持沉默,只是因为我们害怕别人可能不同意我们的意见。当然,会有冲突的观点。当然,冲突是不愉快的。但并不是说你的思想会导致更糟糕的不愉快。
我们相信的勇气站起来。勇气遵守公共规则和法律,坚持认为其他人也跟着他们。勇气抵抗那些采取简单的方法,它只会导致更多的在我们社会制度腐败和繁文缛节。
马克·吐温曾说,勇气并不是没有恐惧。它尽管它作用。{courage演讲稿}.
勇敢的人的标志,是人的感觉,恐惧,承认恐惧,仍然继续做他或她认为是正确的。

What We Cannot Afford To Lose
Ladies and gentlemen,
It's my great honor to be standing here to give you a speech. Thank you for your coming!
Today, I want to talk about what we cannot afford to lose. I believe all of you will have your own ideas when asked the questioned. Your answers may be health, wealth, success and so on. However, in my opinion, courage is what we cannot afford to lose.
Ok, now, I want to ask you a question. When it comes to courage, how will you describe it? In other word, how do you understand courage?(yes, different people have different view on courage. In your eyes, courage means...)
As far as I am concerned, courage is the cornerstone of success. Many times, we failed just because of lacking courage. Because we didn't have the courage to take our first step, we must have courage.
Now, I want to ask you several questions.
Do you think singing a in public need courage?
Do you think talking with a foreigner need courage?
Do you think attending an interview need courage?
Yes, doing everything needs courage. Let's just take today's contest. Actually, many people may have interest in it, but why only we are standing here? Because those people lack courage while we have. Seen
from it , we are the bravest. To give us the beat encouragement, why not give ourselves the greatest applause. (Thank you!) Maybe we won't win the contest today, but we still succeed because we come.
Thirdly, courage is like an engine which provides us with the motivation to proceed. As we all know, in the path of success, there are full of difficulties. We will come across the moment when we will doubt ourselves and want to give up. At this moment, the courage will be the voice that tells us to ignore these problems and go ahead. We can obtain endless power from it and get closer to success.
Therefore, I think what we cannot afford to lose is our courage. Whenever we come across difficulties, do not fear or escape, just take courage to fight with them. Who we should defeat is nobody but ourselves. As long as we have the courage to take our first step, we are not far from the success. Thank you!

演讲稿一:2分钟励志英语演讲稿 ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon! im 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 whats next and the joy of the game of living . in
the center of your heart and my heart theres 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 . when the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism
and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your
aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80. thank you!

now i cant reach its demand and its very diffcult,but 演讲稿三:2分钟励志英语演讲稿 saying goodbye to childhood,we step into another important time in the pace of
young,facing new situations,dealing with different problems..... everyone has his ownunderstanding of young,it is a period of time of beauty and
wonders,only after you have having a view on these great men in the history of hunmanbeing,they all made full
use of their youth time ,to do things that are useful to society,to the whole
mankind,and as a cosquence ,they are remembered by later generations,admired by everyone.so do something in the time of young,although
you may not get achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole word,just
for youeself,for those around! the young is just like blooming flowers,they are so beautiful when blooming,they
make people feel happy,but with time passing by,after they withers ,moet people think
they are ugly.and so it is the same with young,we are enthusiastic when we are
young,then we may lose our passion when getting older and older.so we must treasure
it ,dont let the limitted time pass by ,leaving nothing of significance.篇二:2

你无法把点滴与未来联系,只能通过回顾才能看见。所以你必须相信过的点击能串联未来。你必须有信念,不管那是你的胆识、命运、人生还是因果报应,因为把过去点滴串联起来,才能有信念忠于自我。即使你的选择和别人不一样,这会使你与众不同。
你的时间是有限的,不要浪费在其他人的生命当中,别受教条约束,别活在其他人对你的期望之中,别让批评抹去了你内心的声音。你得找到你所爱的东西,包括你热爱的事业和你的伴侣。
你的工作将会占据你生命的大部分,相信你做的工作是对的,你才能发自内心得到满足。而只有爱你所有的事,才能成就不凡。如果你还没找到,那继续找,别安逸下来。有勇气顺从自己的内心和直觉,你的内心早就知道你未来的梦想。
但是你不可能一帆风顺,大多数人轻易放弃,但你知道人的意志有多强大吗?意志是无可比拟的坚强又富有任性的!任何人在财务、感情生活、健康良好的环境中都能感到幸福,任何人都能自得其满,任何人都能有伟大的理想,任何人在任何的环境下都能有信念。真正试验你的信念、信仰和意志,是当你被击倒的时候。起身而行需要勇气,被击倒仍能谦虚,需要有勇气放下并重新开始。
恐惧,扼杀梦想,恐惧,扼杀希望,恐惧,使人一蹶不振,恐惧使你苍老,阻止你去做能做到的事。但是,它也会使你麻木不仁。
每个情绪起伏,仍然一无所成。但是每个原则,是自我的承诺。你的喜怒哀乐,最后也许什么都没有。但是每次下决心,都是一种承诺。你们有些人,至今尚未成功,那是因为你们过于情绪化。你被情绪所主导,像是早上心情不好,不想起床?谁想?每天你不面对自己的梦想,你也许会把目标延后整整六个月,或是一年!就是没有起身鞭策自己的那一瞬间。你不晓得自己退后了多少!
别让你的情感控制你!我们是情感的动物,但是你必须管理你自己的情感!你要是不能管理情感,你将会被吞噬!你想要全力以赴,毫不保留。当你想改变的时候,不会很容易,如果很容易的话,每个人都做到啦!但是你认真,全力以赴!
我是主导者,主宰着自我。我不会被外在事物打击我,摧毁我,我重新站起来,而我会变得更好、更加坚强。你必须下定决心,这是你的意义。如果这时你想要的梦,不论那是健康或是功成名就,对你的人生负完全的责任。接受现在的自己,并且相信自己能做的更好。
你可以把每一天当做最后一天在过!活出你的激情来!拿出魄力来!每天不断鞭策自己做的更好!人生的最后一章尚未写下,昨日种种的事情并不重要,你发生了什么也没关系。重要的是,你要怎么做?
今年我要使梦想成为现实!我甚至不想再讲了。我可以的!我可以的!我可以的
我觉得坚持对每个人都重要,不要放弃,不要妥协,每件事都有方法。 You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road, will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it lead you off the well worn path. And that will make all the difference.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking, and don’t settle. Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become.{courage演讲稿}.
You’re going to have some ups and you’re goning to have some downs. Most people give up on themselves easily. You know the human spirit is powerful?! There is nothing as powerful. It’s hard to kill the human spirit! Anybody can feel good when they have their health, their bills are paid, they have happy relationships. Anybody can be positive then, anybody can have a larger vision then, anybody can have faith under those kinds of circumstances. The real challenge of growth, mentally, emotionally and spiritually comes when you get knocked down. It takes courage to act. Part of being hungry when you been defeated. It takes courage to start over again. Fear kills dreams. Fear kills hope. Fear, put people in the hospital. Fear can age you, can hold you back from doing something that you know within yourself that you are capable of doing, but it will paralyze you. At the end of your feelings is nothing, but at the end of every principle is a promise. Behind your little feelings, it might not be absolutely not at the end of your little feelings. But behind every principle is a promise. And some of you in your life, the reason why you not at your goal right now, because of your just all about you feelings. All on your feelings, you don’t feel like waking up, so who does? Everyday you say “no” to your dreams, you might be pushing your dreams back a whole six months, a whole year! That one single day, that one day you didn’t get up could have pushed your stuff back, I don’t know how long.
Don’t allow your emotions to control you. We are emotional, but what you want to begin to discipline your emotion. If you don’t discipline and contain your emotion, they will use you. You want it, and you are going to go all out to have it. It’s not going to be easy, when you want to change. It’s not easy. If it were in fact easy, everybody would do it. But if you’re serious, you’ll go all out.
I’m in control here. I’m not going to let this get me down; I’m not going to let this destroy me. I’m coming back! And I’ll be stronger and better because of it! You have got to make a declaration, that this is what you stand for! You’re standing up for your dreams; you’re standing up for peace of mind, you standing up for health. Take full responsibility for your life! Accept where you are and the responsibility that you’re going to take yourself where you want to go. You can decide that I am going to live each day as if it were my last! Live your life with passion! With some drive! Decided that your change to push yourself. The last chapter to your life has not been written yet, and it doesn’t matter about what happened yesterday. It doesn’t matter about what happened to you, what matter is: what are you going to do about it?
This year I would make before this goal become a real. I won’t talk about it anymore. I can, I can, I can!
To persevere I think is important for everybody, don’t give up, don’t give in. There’s always an answer to everything.

Olympic Torch in My Hand
By Windy, Class 5 B
Honorable judges and dear friends, I am delighted to be with you all here, giving my speech on this very special occasion, the year before the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
How did mankind start to reach a civilized state? It goes back to the moment people discovered fire. It is said that Prometheus stole fire from Zeus and gave it to
humankind. He also gave them wisdom and warmth at the same time. Therefore, fire has become a symbol of heat, health, and hope, and it represents passion, power and pride. Today, that fire has become a torch in my hand, bringing me courage, cleverness, and confidence.
With the Olympic torch in my hand, the Olympic spirit stays in my heart. Faster, higher, stronger, just as the Olympic Motto says, we are trying to surpass ourselves in the very essence of our very beings. I imagine all the girls here have had an
experience of running the 1200 meters in their P.E. classes. So have I. Once, I was at the starting line, getting ready for a race. I really had a strong desire of victory. I tried my hardest to run faster and faster. As my strides slowed down I began to lose my breath. At that very moment, I thought of world beating Chinese Olympians gritting their teeth. They pushed themselves beyond their limits, and tried to achieve gold for their motherland. With all my strength I pulled myself up and headed straight for the finishing line. Exhausted all the way, I powered all the way until I reached the
finishing line. My warm blood and beating heart felt like the flame of the torch’s heat running through my veins. The torch inspires me to be the best I can be in all that I do.
With the Olympic torch in my hand, I am facing all of you, requesting you to feel the warmth which the flame brings us, to feel the spirit which the torch impacts to us. Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for us to hold the torches, joining the relay team; it is time for us to make ourselves better, in body and in soul; it is time for us to go to the stage, surprising and exciting the whole world.
It is a time when, as the Olympic flame is carried and passed from the runner’s torch to the large flame of the Olympics, it will shine a light onto China’s past, present, and future, the world’s past, present, and future.
Olympic torch in my hands
-- 沈安安 Tanya Shen
Good afternoon, honorable judges, dear teachers and my fellow schoolmates!
Standing here with a torch in my hand, I really appreciate this opportunity to share my feelings with all of you. The title of my speech today is “Olympic Torch in My Hands”.
Standing here with this great Olympic torch, I see myself holding the Olympic spirit. Stepping off the Olympia, the athletes try their best to participate, to compete, and to conquer. They come a long way. They focus on the process rather than the outcome. They try to compete and see themselves in their rivals. Thus they compete to conquer – their rivals and themselves under the Olympic flame. That’s why all the
athletes deserve medals, concretely or virtually as all this reflects the best the Olympic Motto – “ Faster, Higher, Stronger”
Standing here with this great Olympic torch, I once again fall in deep pondering. It went back to a month ago. As I was walking on the hallway, I met Miss Xie and was told that I could get the very chance to compete in this competition. With a
moment of silence, I said nothing but heard so many mes talking inside myself. “It’s a good chance!” “Well, what if you cannot win?” “You are going to rock!” “No, you might prove to be a loser” It’s a real challenge and I was freaking out. When asked, I simply answered, “ I have got so much stress!” But I know clearly I once had an idea of running away from it and hiding because I didn’t see myself strong enough to take the competition. When told that only six out of hundreds of girls in the grade could have the chance to compete, I hesitantly took this precious chance. All of my friends and classmates were placing great expectation on me. Upon learning this, they encourage me, pointing out that being given this chance has already proved my
achievement in the past two years and half and now I should only do the best I could and forget about what was once bothering me. Going deeper with the true meaning of the Olympic torch, I find myself getting closer to the Olympic spirit. Care less about what one could win, but more about what one could gain. Conquer the
respectable rivals is to conquer oneself. After a long time preparing, I am standing here with the fellow contestants. I no longer worry about “ifs”, for once I am here, I am fulfilling the spirit of Olympic games. Now I am ready to compete, to confront. Without the competition, I won’t know the significance of challenging myself. Without the confrontation, I won’t be higher, faster or stronger.
Standing here with this great Olympic torch, I would like to end my speech with a short poem.
You are my adversary
but you are not my enemy
For your resistance gives me strength
your will gives me courage
your spirit ennobles me. And though I aim to defeat you
should I succeed I will not humiliate you
instead, I will honor you. For without you
I am a lesser man.
The Olympic Torch in My Hand
Honorable judges and dear students, I am Sam from Class 2 .
I am happy to be with you today, to show my expectation and excitement of the coming Beijing Olympic Games. As a Chinese, I absolutely look forward to the
Olympic Games in 2008 and also strongly support our Chinese team! And as a young student, I often join the sport activities to improve my sport skills. Apart from that, I
always pay lots of attention to the sports news and dream of being a great athlete to make contributions to China.
I used to imagine that I had an Olympic torch in my hand, but I haven’t told anyone before. I think holding an Olympic torch in my hand is a kind of pride. And now, I luckily have the opportunity and bravery to tell you what I would do if so.
I would like to take my Olympic torch to Zeus Hieron in Olympia, the home of the Olympic flame, to thank the Gods and Goddesses for giving us the holy spirit of Olympic Games.
I would like to take my Olympic torch to all the other countries, to show its beautiful flame to all the foreigners. Like the flame shining brightly and warmly, our hospitality will be great to welcome people from all over the world.
And I would like to take my Olympic torch to the West Lake, to the Yellow Mountain, to the Great Wall, to every important symbol in China, even to every place in China! So that all the people in China will gather together to pass the flame, pass the torch, to get the Olympic spirit, higher, faster, stronger! And also mix the Chinese traditional culture into the holy flame, to express our enthusiasm to the Olympic Games.
Besides those, let every Olympic torch in every one’s hand throughout the world, shine from every village and every hamlet, from every province and every city. Then the sportsmanship will be everywhere, and the Olympic spirit will be in every one’s brain!
I do have those incredible thoughts though I am still a young boy. And I will keep my eyes on sports and hold the Olympic torch tightly all the time to worship and spread the holy Olympic spirit. At last, strongly hope that the Beijing Olympic Games will be held successfully. Thanks.
Olympic Torch in My Hand
Stephanie 9B
Dear students, teachers and honorable judges, good afternoon! It’s my honor to stand here and share my feelings with you.
I’m sure that all of us here had the same excitement when Samaranch announced that Beijing was going to hold the 29th Olympic Games in 2008. Being a Chinese, the
Olympic flame was burning at that unforgettable moment with a strong desire in our hearts to light the seeds of Olympic spirit.
In my opinion, once the Olympic torch is enkindled, the flame which symbolizes the spirit will never burn out. The Olympic motto, “swifter, higher, stronger” is not only for athletes but also for all the people of different nationalities or occupations in the world who are trying to make a breakthrough.
What has supported and built this motto? That is “Confidence, strength, self-respect”. This reminds me the success, which I have experienced in the sport meeting the year before last. Before the race, I felt upset, asking myself, will I be able to do that? While I felt lack of confidence and strength, the struggle experience about the Belgian tennis player Justine Henin came to my mind.
After an 8-month-combat against the injury, early this year, Henin came back. But her fate cheated her again. She was compelled by illness to abstain from halfway.
Anyway, she didn’t despair. Instead, she practiced much harder until she made up for her once fault with the gold medal in Olympics to prove that she was not a coward. At that moment, the Olympic torch was burning strongly. My heart was filled with vehement passion. During the race, between continuing and discontinuing, I
determined to continue. After the exciting result had been announced, although I was really exhausted, I had had my fill of pleasure.
What has made both of us have such a powerful force to overcome so many
difficulties? That is the burning torch in our hearts. The Olympic spirit has deeply inspired us and also millions of people with an Olympic torch in their hands.
Keep an Olympic torch in our hands, in order to overcome the obstacle and never fear losing until you are successful, that is the desire in the hearts of the powerful. Strong confidence, will lead you to the most beautiful palace. Painstaking Training will make you achieve the greatest stature you’ve ever reaching.{courage演讲稿}.
Although the Olympic Games are momentary, the enlightenment, which Olympics bring us, will last eternally. The victory or defeat in competitions is temporary, but the Olympic spirit of strengthening self without stopping is everlasting.
Let’s pass the Olympic torch by way of relay, to inherit the Olympic spirit, spread the seeds of confidence and unremittingness to make it stay.
Let’s keep the Olympic torch in our hands, and keep the Olympic spirit alive in our hearts.
Thank You!

Take action. Every story you've ever connected with, every leader you've ever admired, every puny little thing that you've ever accomplished is the result of taking action. You have a choice. You can either be a passive victim of circumstance or you can be the active hero of your own life. Action is the antidote to apathy and cynicism and despair. You will inevitably make mistakes. Learn what you can and move on. At the end of your days, you will be judged by your gallop, not by your stumble.

Let me express my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself-nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror, which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life, a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves, which is essential to victory and I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days. In such a spirit on my part and on yours, we face our common difficulties. They concern, thank God, only material things.-

My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of men. Finally whether you are citizens of America, or citizens of the world, ask of us here, the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience of our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth, God's work must truly be our own
4 Emma Watson: Gender equality is your issue too
艾玛沃森:性别平等也关乎你
In my nervousness for this speech and in my moments of doubt I’ve told myself firmly—if not me, who, if not now, when. If you have similar doubts when opportunities are presented to you I hope those words might be helpful. We are struggling for a uniting word but the good news is we have a uniting movement. It is called HeForShe. I am inviting you to step forward, to be seen to speak up, To be the he for she. And to ask yourself if not me, who, if not now when.
Thank you!

But also a country that moves with confidence beyond this time of war, to shape a peace that is built on the promise of freedom and dignity for every human being.
