【励志演讲稿】布莱尔演讲:珍惜现在把握未来
英国首相布莱尔演讲稿

英国首相布莱尔演讲稿——伊拉克战争醒世录时间:2003年7月17日地点:美国国会议长先生、副总统先生、尊敬的国会议员先生们,我为所受到的热情慷慨的欢迎深深感动。
坦诚而言,我受之有愧,而且有违常规。
首先,我要最诚挚地感谢你们投票授予我国会金质奖章。
但是你们像我一样,知道谁是真正的英雄:那些英勇服役的男女们,你们的和我们的。
他们在这次战争中奋斗并仍然处在危险境地。
我们给予他们的献词应当以此方式来概括: 向他们和他们的家人证实,他们的奋斗和牺牲不是无谓的。
他们的牺牲使后代可以生活在伟大的和平、繁荣和希望之中。
(掌声)让我也表达对布什总统的感激之情。
经过自911灾难时刻以来的我们世界的改变,我们成为盟邦和朋友。
谢谢您的带领,总统先生。
(热烈掌声)议长先生,先生们,我为获此奖而受宠若惊的心情稍有淡化,唯一原因,是被告知第一个国会金质奖章授予了乔治. 华盛顿。
如国会所言,表彰他的“机智英勇的运作”,从而把英国人赶出了波士顿(笑声、掌声)。
在我们到这里来的时候,议员富瑞斯特(FRIST)亲切地向我展示1814年战争的交火之地,英国人在那里火烧国会图书馆。
我知道道歉有点晚了,但仍要说:对不起。
(笑声,掌声,笑声)事实上,你们知道,我的二儿子曾经学习18世纪历史和美国独立战争史,他对我说,“你知道,诺斯勋爵(Lord North, 十八世纪下半叶中期英国首相,美国独立战争的对手。
由于美国独立而下台----译者注),爸爸,他就是那个让我们丢了美国的英国首相。
所以想想吧,无论你将犯多少错误,都不会比那个错误更糟糕。
”(笑声)恐怖主义威胁世界自由国会议员们,我对关于今日世界的使命有相当的紧迫感。
9 月11日不是一个孤立的事件,而是一个悲剧的序言。
在伊拉克的另一行动和许多未来的争斗将在悲剧结束之前, 呈现在这个舞台上。
历史从来没有像今天这样,美国的力量如此必要却如此被误解。
或者说, 在普通常识之外,历史的研究没有象今天这样为当前提供如此少的指引。
把握现在成就未来演讲稿

把握现在成就未来演讲稿尊敬的听众们:大家好!今天我演讲的主题是“把握现在成就未来”。
在我们的人生旅途中,把握好当下,努力奋斗,才能够创造属于自己的美好未来。
首先,我想分享一个真实的故事给大家。
有一个年轻人,名叫杰克。
他的父亲是一位普通的农民,日夜辛勤工作,为了给杰克提供更好的生活条件。
然而,杰克并不满足于目前的生活状态,他渴望有所改变,追求更高的人生成就。
于是,杰克决定利用自己的大学假期去努力实现他的梦想。
他报名参加了一项远程教育课程,学习了外贸关务和市场营销等实用知识。
在课程结束后,杰克并没有满足于纸上的知识,他通过实践活动积极运用所学,并结交了许多志同道合的朋友。
通过自己的努力,杰克在大学毕业后找到了一份外贸公司的工作。
他的努力和勤奋使得他很快脱颖而出,得到了公司的重视和赞赏。
凭借着他积累的经验和知识,杰克在公司中迅速晋升,并最终成为了市场部经理。
这个故事告诉我们,只有把握现在,努力奋斗,我们才能够成就未来。
过去的努力会成为我们未来的基石,为我们打下坚实的根基。
既然我们知道了把握现在的重要性,那么我们应该如何实施呢?首先,我们需要树立正确的目标和激情。
确定自己的人生目标和梦想,为之而努力奋斗。
同时,保持激情与热情,相信自己的能力和潜力,坚持不懈地追求自己的梦想,不被困难所击倒。
其次,我们应该注重学习和积累知识。
不断提高自己的知识水平和技能,学习新的东西,并将所学应用于实践。
通过阅读、培训和实践经验,我们能够不断提升自己的能力和竞争力,为未来的发展打下坚实的基础。
同时,我们也应该发展人际关系和扩大人脉。
人脉资源在今天的社会非常重要,它能够帮助我们获得更多的机会和资源。
所以,我们要主动拓展自己的人脉圈子,结交各行各业的朋友,互相学习和帮助,共同成长。
最后,我们要保持积极的心态和乐观的态度。
在人生的道路上,我们难免会遇到各种挫折和困难,但是我们要相信,每一个困难都是一种契机和挑战。
只要保持积极乐观的心态,我们就能够更好地应对困难,战胜挫折。
初中英语名人演讲稿珍惜现在把握未来_托尼•布莱尔耶鲁演讲素材

珍惜现在,把握未来—托尼·布莱尔耶鲁演讲It is an honor to be here and say to the Yale College Class of 2008: you did it; you came through; from all of us to you: congratulations.The issues you must wrestle with-the threat of climate change, food scarcity, and population growth, worldwide terror based on religion, the interdependence of world economy-my student generation would barely recognize. But the difference today is they are essentially global in nature.Your understand this. Yale has become a melting pot of culture, language and civilization. You are the global generation. So be global citizens.Each new generation finds the world they enter. But they fasion the world they leave. So: what do you inherit and what do you pass on?The history of humankind is marked by great events but written by great people.People like you.Given Yale’s record of achievement, perhaps by you.So to you as individuals, what wisdom, if any, have I learnt?First, in fact, keep learning. Always to be alive to the possibilities of the next experience, of thinking, doing and being.When Buddha was asked, near the end of his life, to describe his secret, he answered bluntly: “I’m awake”.So be awake.Understand conventional wisdom, but be prepared to change it.Feel as well as analyze; use you instinct alongside your reason. Calculate too much and you will miscalculate.Be prepared to fail as well as to succeed, realist it is failure not success that defines character.I spent years trying to be a politician failing at every attempt and nearly gave up. I know you’re thinking: I should have.Sir Paul McCartney reminded me that the first record company the Beatles approached rejected them as a band no-one would want to listen to.Be good to people on your way up because you never know if you will meet them again on your way down.Judge someone by how they treat those below them not those above them.Be a firm friend not a fair-weather friend. It is your friendships, including those friends you made here at Yale, at this time, that sustain and enrich the human spirit.A good test of a person is who turns up at their funeral and with what sincerity. Try not to sit the test too early, of course.Recently, I attended a funeral and the speaker said he would like to begin by reading a list of all those whose funerals he would rather have been attending, but the list was too long. It was a sweet compliment to our friend.Alternatively there was Spike Milligan, the quintessential English comic who when he was asked what he would like as the epitaph on his tombstone replied : “They should write: I told you l was ill.”There was a colleague of mine in the British Parliament who once asked another:” why do people take such an instant dislike to me?” and got the reply:” Because it saves time.”So, when others think of you, let them think not with their lips but their hearts of a good friend and a gracious acquaintance.Above all, however, have a purpose in life. Life is not about living but about striving. When you get up, get up motivated. Live with a perpetual sense of urgency. And make at least part of that purpose about something bigger than you.There are great careers. There are also great causes.Ht least let some of them into your Lives. Giving hefts the heart in a way that getting ne ver can. Maybe it really was Oscar Wilde who said: “No one ever died, saying if only l had one more day at the office.”One small but shocking sentence: each year three million children die in Africa from preventable disease or conflict.The key word? Preventable.When all is said and done, there is usually more said than done.Be a doer not a commentator. Seek responsibility rather than shirk it. People often ask me about leadership, l say: leadership is about wanting the responsibility to be on your shoulders, not ignoring its weight but knowing someone has to carry it and, reaching out for that person to be you. Leaders are heat-seekers notheat-deflectors.And luck?You have all the luck you need. You are here, at Yale, and what-apart from the hats-could be better?You have something else: your parents.When you are your age, you can never imagine being our age. But believe me, when you’re our age we remember clearly being your age. That’s why I am so careful about young men and my daughter, “Don’t tell me what you’re thinking. I know what you’re thinking.”But as a parent let me tell you something about parents. Despite all rational impulses, despite all evidence to the contrary, despite what we think you do to us and what you think we do to you-and yes, it is often hell on both sides-the plain, unvarnished truth is we love you. Simply, profoundly, utterly.I remember, back in the mists of time, my Dad greeting me off the train at Durham railway station. I was a student at Oxford. Oxford and Cambridge are for Britain kind of like Yale and Harvard, only more so. It was a big deal. I had been away for my first year and was coming home.I stepped off the train. My hair was roughly the length of Rumpelstiltskin’s and unwashed. I had no shoes and no shirt. My jeans were torn-and this was in the days before this became a fashion item. Worst of all, we had just moved house. Mum had thrown out the sitting room drapes. I had retrieved them and made a sleeveless long coat with them.My Dad greeted me. There were all his friends at the station. Beside me, their kids looked paragons of responsibility.He saw the drapes, and visibly winced. They did kind of stand out. I took pity on him.“Dad”, I said. “There is good news. I don’t do drugs.”He looked me in the eye and said: “Son, the bad news is if you’re looking like this and you’re not doing drugs we’ve got a real problem.”Your parents look at you today with love. They know how hard it is to make the grade and they respect you for making it.And tomorrow as I know, as a parent of one of this class, as you receive your graduation, their hearts will beat with the nature rhythm of pride. Pride in what you have achieved. Pride in who you are.They will be nervous for you, as you stand on the threshold of a new adventure for they know the many obstacles that lie ahead.But they will be confident that you can surmount them, for they know also the strength of character and of spirit that has taken you thus far.To my fellow parents: I say, let us rejoice and be glad together.To the Yale College Class of 2008, I say: well done; and may blessings and good fortune be yours in the years to come.演讲稿中文:珍惜现在,把握未来——前英国首相安东尼·布莱尔2008年在耶鲁大学毕业典礼上的演讲能够站在这里在耶鲁大学2008届毕业典礼发表演讲我深感荣幸。
2024布什演讲稿

2024布什演讲稿亲爱的各位同胞:我们今天聚集在这里,是为了纪念一个伟大的胜利,同时也是为了庆祝一个坚定的信念。
我们的祖国正在经历着一场史无前例的挑战,但是我深信,只要我们团结一致,就没有什么能够击败我们。
“历史是由那些具有坚定信念的人来书写的。
”我们今天的任务,就是让这句话成为现实。
我们正处在一个变革的时代,一个需要我们勇敢面对、坚定信念的时代。
在这个时代,我们需要的不仅仅是勇气和毅力,更需要的是坚定的信念。
让我们回顾一下历史。
在我们国家的历史上,曾经有过一段艰难的时期。
那时的我们面临着内外忧患,国家处在风雨飘摇之中。
但是,我们的人民并没有被困境所吓倒,而是坚定地选择了信念,选择了希望。
正是因为这份坚定和勇敢,我们才能够克服重重困难,走向了繁荣昌盛。
今天,我们再次面临着一个重要的转折点。
全球经济正在经历一场大范围的危机,我们的国家也面临着前所未有的挑战。
但是,我深信,只要我们保持坚定的信念,勇敢地面对挑战,就一定能够度过这个难关。
为了实现这个目标,我们需要采取一系列的措施。
首先,我们需要加强国家的经济建设,促进内需的增长。
只有当我们的经济实力得到提升,才能够更好地应对外部的挑战。
其次,我们需要加强科技创新,提高国家的核心竞争力。
在这个科技日新月异的时代,科技创新已经成为国家发展的重要驱动力。
最后,我们需要加强国际合作,共同应对全球性的挑战。
只有当我们团结一致,才能够应对各种复杂多变的国际形势。
当然,这些措施的实施需要我们付出艰辛的努力和奋斗。
但是,我深信,只要我们坚定信念、勇往直前,就一定能够实现我们的目标。
正如那句名言所说:“信念是鸟,它在黎明仍然黑暗之际,感觉到了光明,唱出了歌。
”我们需要的就是这样一只勇敢的鸟,它能够带领我们走向光明,唱出属于我们的胜利之歌。
在这个过程中,每一个公民都扮演着重要的角色。
我们需要树立正确的价值观和生活态度,发扬爱国精神,积极参与国家建设。
只有这样,才能够让我们的国家更加强大、更加繁荣。
2024布什演讲稿2

2024布什演讲稿2尊敬的各位嘉宾、亲爱的美国同胞们:首先,我要感谢每一位出席今天演讲的人。

我们的首要任务是团结起来,共同应对挑战。
我们不能让意识形态、种族或信仰分裂我们的社会。
我们必须相信,团结是我们前进的基石。
其次,我们需要重建并加强我们的经济。
我们必须为所有美国人提供公平的机会,确保每个人都能够实现自己的梦想。
我们要打破社会经济不平等的束缚,给予每个人发展的机会和平等的待遇。
同时,我们也要关注技术和创新的发展。
这些将是推动我们经济增长和竞争力的重要因素。
我们应该鼓励创新并投资新的技术,以推动我们的国家在全球经济中的领先地位。
此外,我们还要关注教育的重要性。
我们需要有一个高质量的教育体系,使每个孩子都有平等的机会接受良好的教育。
教育将是我们国家未来的基石,我们要确保我们的下一代有着充分的准备和能力来面对未来的挑战。
最后,我们不能忽视我们在全球舞台上的角色。
作为世界上最强大的国家之一,我们有责任维护全球和平与安全。
我们应该与其他国家合作,解决共同面临的挑战,共同推动全球发展。
尊敬的各位,2024年将是美国重新定义自己的关键时刻。

珍惜当下把握未来发言稿2分钟

珍惜当下把握未来发言稿2分钟活在当下,不是让大家忘记过去与未来,而是不要沉湎于对过去的回忆与对未来的幻想,要把握现在,抓住当下每一个进步的机会。
以下是小编给大家带来的几篇珍惜当下把握未来发言稿2分钟,供大家参考借鉴。
珍惜当下把握未来发言稿2分钟1尊敬的老师们,亲爱的同学们:大家好!时间是最宝贵的。
因为你永远不知道,意外和明天哪个先来。
我们以为一生很长很长,其实很短。
短到才好像刚体验到阳春三月,转眼就到了北寒时节。
短到好像是咿呀学语的孩童,转眼就到了青春年少。
今天迎来了一个噩耗,好朋友的爸爸去世了,就这么……猝不及防地离开了人世间,年仅37岁,是因为心肌梗塞。
刚听到这个消息的时候,我是惊讶的,然后再陷入悲痛之中。
无法流出眼泪,但是心中的难过无法言喻,我甚至不知道如何安慰好朋友,只能默默祈祷……祈祷着……关于珍惜当下的演讲稿配图我甚至有种冲动想立马出现到父亲身边,看看他,看看他的样子,他的笑容,听听他说话的祥和语调,想珍惜他在身边的每一天。
我能想到的,就是珍惜现在拥有的一切,身边的每一个人,因为你永远不能想到他们将会以什么样的方式离开你。
活着是最重要的。
我也渐渐理解了父母口中的“家和万事兴”,一家人平平安安,健健康康,才有家,活着,才有家,一个完整的家,才能充满幸福。
我不能想象朋友会靠着如何强大的意志力坚持地走下去,但是我相信她一定会变得愈来愈坚强,愈来愈坚不可摧。
每一个能茁壮成长的孩子都是上帝的宠儿。
或许我也是幸运的,我能够在这里写下这篇文章,不是足以证明这一点了吗?那么,我们既然足够幸运,为何不珍惜时间,不珍惜当下?如果你不够幸运,那么就把自己变得更好,变得更加的幸运吧。
珍惜当下把握未来发言稿2分钟2尊敬的老师们,亲爱的同学们:大家好!昨天完成寒假作业的时候,完成一道阅读习题的时候,看到了关于“刘胡兰”一篇文章。
阅读题里,写了英雄姐姐被敌人逮捕并折磨的情景,我气愤填膺。
那么小的孩子,能承受这么大的痛苦吗?带着疑问,我到网络里搜索关于英雄“刘胡兰”。
