名人励志演讲稿(精选多篇)麦档网 revolution is there for you every single day. and you’ve been willing to be part ofremarking lives in our community.and yet, there is a real resistance, a turning away from thepolitical process. i hope that some of you will be public servants and will even run for office yourself, not to win a position to make and impression on your friends at your 20th reunion, but because you understand how important it is for each of us as citizens to make a commitment to our democracy.your generation, the first one born after the social upheavals of the 60’s and 70’s, in the midst of the technological advances of the 80’s and 90’s, are inheriting an economy, a society and a government that has yet to understand fully, or even come to grips with, our rapidly changing world.and so bring your values and experiences and insights into politics. dare to help make, not just a difference in politics, but create a different politics. some have called you the generation of choice. you’ve been raised with m ultiple choice tests, multiple channels, multiple websites and multiple lifestyles. you’ve grown up choosing among alternatives that were either not imagined, created oravailable to people in prior generations.you’ve been invested with far more personal power to customize your life, to make more free choices about how to live than was ever thought possible. and i think as i look at all the surveys and research that is done, your choices reflect not only freedom, but personal responsibility.the social indicators, not the headlines, the social indicators tell a positive story: drug use and cheating and arrests being down, been pregnancy and suicides, drunk driving deaths being down.community service and religious involvement being up. but if you look at the area of voting among 18 to 29 year olds, the numbers tell afar more troubling tale. many of you i know believe that service and community volunteerism is a better way of solving the issues facing our country than political engagement, because you believe-choose one of the following multiples or choose them all-government eithercan’t unders(请帮助宣传：or won’t make the right choices because of political pressures, inefficiency, incompetence or big money influence.well, i admit there is enough truth in that critique to justifyfeeling disconnected and alienated. but at bottom, that’s a personal cop-out and a national peril. political conditions maximize the conditions for individual opportunity and responsibility as well as community. americorps and the peace corps exist because of political decisions. our air, water, land and food will be clean and safe because of political choices. our ability to cure disease or log onto the internet have been advanced because of politically determined investments. ethnic cleansing in kosovo ended because of political leadership. your parents and grandparents traveled here by means of government built and subsidized transportation systems. many used gi bills or government loans, as i did, to attend college.now, i could, as you might guess, go on and on, but the point is to remind us all that government is us and each generation has to stake its claim. and, as stakeholders, you will have to decide whether or not to make the choice to participate. it is hard and it is, bringing change in a democracy, particularly now. there’s so much about our modern times that conspire to lower our sights, to weaken our vision-as individuals and communities and even nations.it is not the vast conspiracy you may have heard about; rather it’sa silent conspiracy of cynicism and indifference and alienation that we see every day, in our popular culture and in our prodigious consumerism.but as many have said before and as vaclav havel has said to memorably, “it cannot suffice just to invent new mac hines, new regulations and new institutions. it is necessary to understand differently and more perfectly the true purpose of our existence on this earth and of our deeds.” and i think we are called on to reject, in this time of blessings that we enjoy, those who will tear us apart and tear us down and instead to liberate our god-given spirit, by being willing to dare to dream of a better world.during my campaign, when times were tough and days were long i usedto think about the example of harriet tubman, a heroic new yorker, a 19th century moses, who risked her life to bring hundreds of slavesto freedom. she would say to those who she gathered up in the south where she kept going back year after year from the safety of auburn, new york, that no matter what happens, they had to keep going. ifthey heard shouts behind them, they had to keep going. if they heard gunfire or dogs, they had to keep going to freedom. well, thosearen’t the risks we face. it is more the silence and apathy and indifference that dogs our heels.thirty-two years ago, i spoke at my own graduation from wellesley, where i did call on my fellow classmates to reject the notion of limitations on our ability to effect change and instead toembrace the idea that the goal of education should be humanliberation and the freedom to practice with all the skill of our being the art of making possible.for after all, our fate is to be free. to choose competition over apathy, caring over indifference, vision over myopia, and love over hate.just as this is a special time in your lives, it is for me as well because my daughter will be graduating in four weeks, graduating also from a wonderful place with a great education and beginning a new life. and as i think about all the parents and grandparents who are out there, i have a sense of what their feeling. their hearts are leaping with joy, but it’s hard to keep tears in check because the presence of our children at a time and place such as this is really a fulfillment of our own american dreams. well, i applaud you and all of your love, commitment and hard work, just as i applaud your daughters and sons for theirs.and i leave these graduates with the same message i hope to leave with my graduate. dare to compete. dare to care. dare to dream. dare to love. practice the art of making possible. and no matter what happens, even if you hear shouts behind, keep going.thank you and god bless you all.第四篇：名人励志立志的名人故事《陈平忍辱苦读书》陈平西汉名相，少时家贫，与哥哥相依为命，为了秉承父命，光耀门庭，不事生产，闭门读书，却为大嫂所不容，为了消弭兄嫂的矛盾，面对一再羞辱，隐忍不发，随着大嫂的变本加厉，终于忍无可忍，出走离家，欲浪迹天涯，被哥哥追回后，又不计前嫌，阻兄休嫂，在当地传为美谈。
