| 中英文 |If your life were a book and you were the author, how would you want your story to go? That's the question that changed my life forever. Growing up in the hot Last Vegas desert, all I wanted was to be free. I would daydream about traveling the world, living in a place where it snowed, and I would picture all of the stories that I would go on to tell.如果你的人生是一本书你是书的作者你会怎么写你的故事? 这个问题永远改变了我的一生生长在拉斯维加斯的炎热沙漠我一直向往自由我做着白日梦梦想周游世界住在能看见雪的地方编我想讲述的所有故事At the age of 19, the day after I graduated high school, I moved to a place where it snowed and I became a massage therapist. With this job all I needed were my hands and my massage table by my side and I could go anywhere. For the first time in my life, I felt free, independent and completely in control of my life. That is, until my life took a detour. I went home from work early one day with what I thought was the flu, and less than24 hours later I was in the hospital on life support with less thana two percent chance of living. It wasn't until days later as I lay in a coma that the doctors diagnosed me with bacterial meningitis, a vaccine-preventable blood infection. Over the course of two and a half months I lost my spleen, my kidneys, the hearing in myleft ear and both of my legs below the knee.19岁那年在我从高中毕业后我搬到了能见到雪的地方我成为一名按摩师这份工作只需要双手以及身边的按摩桌而且我可以去任何地方有生以来头一次我感到自由独立对生活充满把握直到人生出现了一个转折一天我下班比往常早以为自己得了流感 24小时不到我就进了医院生命垂危只有2%的存活几率之后的几天我陷入昏迷医生诊断我得了细菌性脑膜炎疫苗可预防性血液感染在为期两个半月的治疗中我切除了脾和肾左耳失聪膝盖以下截肢When my parents wheeled me out of the hospital I felt like I had been pieced back together like a patchwork doll. I thought the worst was over until weeks later when I saw my new legs for the first time. The calves were bulky blocks of metal with pipes bolted together for the ankles and a yellow rubber foot with a raised rubber line from the toe to the ankle to look like a vein. I didn't know what to expect, but I wasn't expecting that.当父母把我推出医院时我感到自己被重新拼凑起来像一个拼布娃娃我以为最惨的事已完结直到我第一次见到自己的新腿小腿是笨重的金属块脚踝用管子和螺丝固定外加黄色的橡胶脚突起的橡胶线从脚趾延伸到脚踝为了使它们看起来像血管我不知道我想要的结果是什么但绝不会是这个With my mom by my side and tears streaming down our faces, I strapped on these chunky legs and I stood up. They were so painful and so confining that all I could think was, how am I ever going to travel the world in these things? How was I ever going to live the life full of adventure and stories, as I always wanted? And how was I going to snowboard again?妈妈站在我旁边两个人泪水肆意我绑上这两条粗短腿然后站起来它们让我感到十分痛苦，并且充满限制我脑子里只有一个想法：用这些破玩意我怎么能周游世界? 我如何才能过我一直想要的异彩纷呈的生活?That day, I went home, I crawled into bed and this is what my life looked like for the next few months: me passed out, escaping from reality, with my legs resting by my side. I was absolutely physically and emotionally broken.我如何才能再玩单板滑雪? 那天，我回到家，爬上床这是我接下来几个月的生活状态: 我躺在床上, 淡出生活逃离现实我的腿放在床边.我在生理上和心理上完全崩溃了But I knew that in order to move forward, I had to let go of the old Amy and learn to embrace the new Amy. And that is when it dawned on me that I didn't have to be five-foot-five anymore.I could be as tall as I wanted! (Laughter) (Applause) Or as short as I wanted, depending on who I was dating. (Laughter) And if I snowboarded again, my feet aren't going to get cold. (Laughter) And best of all, I thought, I can make my feet the size of all the shoes that are on the sales rack. (Laughter) And I did! So there were benefits here.但是我知道为了向前走我必须放开过去的艾米学着接受新的艾米那时我突然想到我再也不只有5.5英尺高了我可以想多高有多高 (笑声)(掌声) 或者想多矮有多矮这得看我和谁约会 (笑声) 如果我再玩单板滑雪脚再也不会冷 (笑声) 我觉得最棒的是我可以调整脚的大小来适合货架上任何尺码的鞋子 (笑声) 我真那么干了! 所以这还是有些好处的It was this moment that I asked myself that life-defining question: If my life were a book and I were the author, how would I want the story to go? And I began to daydream. I daydreamed like I did as a little girl and I imagined myself walking gracefully, helping other people through my journey and snowboarding again. And I didn't just see myself carving down a mountain of powder, I could actually feel it. I could feel the wind against my face and the beat of my racing heart as if it were happening in that very moment. And that is when a new chapter in my lifebegan.那一刻我问了自己一个决定人生走向的问题如果人生是一本书而我是作者我会怎么写这个故事? 我开始做白日梦想小时候那样做梦我想象自己优雅地前行在路途中帮助别人再次玩单板滑雪我并不是仅仅看到自己从山上滑下来我可以真切感受到那个场景我可以感受到风扑面而来感受到心脏的韵律如同那一刻正在真实发生.那就是我开启人生新篇章的时刻Four months later I was back up on a snowboard, although things didn't go quite as expected: My knees and my ankles wouldn't bend and at one point I traumatized all the skiers on the chair lift when I fell and my legs, still attached to my snowboard — (Laughter) — went flying down the mountain, and I was on top of the mountain still. I was so shocked, I was just as shocked as everybody else, and I was so discouraged, but I knew that if I could find the right pair of feet that I would be able to do this again. And this is when I learned that our borders and our obstacles can only do two things: one, stop us in our tracks or two, force us to get creative.4个月之后，我重拾单板滑雪虽然事情并不像我期待的那样我的膝盖和脚踝无法弯曲在某一点上我吓坏了升降椅上所有的滑雪者(笑声)就是当我摔倒时,我的腿还连着滑板(笑声) 它们一起飞落到山脚而我依然在山顶(笑声)我被惊到了同其他人一样我惊呆了而且很失落但是我知道如果我找到了两条合适的腿我完全可以成功这时我明白了艰难险阻只能做两件事:一是将我们困在原来的轨道二是迫使我们充满创造力I did a year of research, still couldn't figure out what kind of legs to use, couldn't find any resources that could help me. So I decided to make a pair myself. My leg maker and I put random parts together and we made a pair of feet that I could snowboard in. As you can see, rusted bolts, rubber, wood and neon pink ducttape. And yes, I can change my toenail polish. It was these legs and the best 21st birthday gift I could ever receive —a new kidney from my dad —that allowed me to follow my dreams again. I started snowboarding, then I went back to work, then I went back to school.我研究了一年仍然不知道用什么样的腿也找不到任何有用的资源于是我决定自己做一副假腿我和制作者把各种部件拼在一起做了两条可以玩滑板的腿你可以看到生锈的螺栓、橡胶、木头和荧光粉胶带没错我可以换指甲颜色这双假腿以及我21岁生日收到的最好礼物————我爸爸的一个肾让我再次追逐梦想.我开始玩单板滑雪我重新工作并回到学校Then in 20xx I cofounded a nonprofit organization for youth and young adults with physical disabilities so they could get involved with action sports. From there, I had the opportunity to go to South Africa, where I helped to put shoes on thousands of children's feet so they could attend school.20xx年我创办了一个非盈利组织用来救助身体残疾的年轻人使他们能再次参加体育运动从那时起我有机会前往南非给千百儿童带来鞋子这样他们就可以去上学And just this past February, I won two back-to-back World Cup gold medals — (Applause) — which made me the highest ranked adaptive female snowboarder in the world.在刚刚过去的二月我相继取得两块世界金牌 (掌声) ——这使我成为世界上最高级别的残疾人女子单板滑雪运动员.Eleven years ago, when I lost my legs, I had no idea what to expect. But if you ask me today, if I would ever want to change my situation, I would have to say no. Because my legs haven't disabled me, if anything they've enabled me. They've forced me to rely on my imagination and to believe in the possibilities, and that's why I believe that our imaginations can be used as toolsfor breaking through borders, because in our minds, we can do anything and we can be anything.20xx年前当我失去腿时我不知道该期盼什么但是如果你现在问我是否愿意换个人生我会回答不因为我的双腿并没有阻碍我如果说它们给我带来了什么那就是它们让我依靠想象力让我相信一切皆有可能这就是为什么我相信想象可以成为工具用来冲破障碍因为在脑子里我们可以做任何事可以成为任何人It's believing in those dreams and facing our fears head-on that allows us to live our lives beyond our limits. And although today is about innovation without borders, I have to say that in my life, innovation has only been possible because of my borders. I've learned that borders are where the actual ends, but also where the imagination and the story begins.相信梦想直面恐惧能够让我们的生活超出局限虽然今天在讲无边界创新但我不得不说在我的生命里是我自身的种种局限让不可能变成可能我知道这些局限才是现实结束想象产生故事开始的地方So the thought that I would like to challenge you with today is that maybe instead of looking at our challenges and our limitations as something negative or bad, we can begin to look at them as blessings, magnificent gifts that can be used to ignite our imaginations and help us go further than we ever knew we could go. It's not about breaking down borders. It's about pushing off of them and seeing what amazing places they might bring us. Thank you.所以今天我想让你们挑战的是与其把挑战、局限看做不利或者坏事我们可以把它们看做恩惠可以点亮想象的神奇礼物能帮助我们走得更远远到我们从未想过这不是要打破局限而是把局限推得更广然后看看它们能把我们带到怎样美好的地方谢谢 (掌声)。
Ted演讲DianaNyad：Never,everGiveup
Ted演讲DianaNyad：Never,everGiveupIt's the fifth time I stand on this shore, the Cuban shore, looking out at that distant horizon, believing, again, that I'm going to make it all the way across that vast, dangerous wilderness of an ocean. Not only have I tried four times, but the greatest swimmers in the world have been trying since 1950, and it's still never been done. The team is proud of our four attempts. It's an expedition of some 30 people. Bonnie is my best friend and head handler, who somehow summons will,that last drop of will within me, when I think it's gone, after many, many hours and days out there. The shark experts are the best in the world --large predators below. The box jellyfish, the deadliest venom in all of the ocean, is in these waters, and I have come close to dying from them on a previous attempt. The conditions themselves, besides the sheer distance of over 100 miles in the open ocean -- the currents and whirling eddies and the Gulf Stream itself, the most unpredictable of all of the planet Earth. And by the way, it's amusing to me that journalists and people before these attempts often ask me, "Well, are you going to go with any boats or any people or anything?" And I'm thinking, what are they imagining? That I'll just sort of do some celestial navigation, and carry a bowie knife in my mouth, and I'll hunt fish and skin them alive and eat them, and maybe drag a desalinization plant behind me for fresh water.Yes, I have a team. And the team is expert, and the team is courageous, and brimming with innovation and scientific discovery, as is true with any major expedition on the planet. And we've been on a journey. And the debate has raged, hasn't it, since the Greeks, of isn't it what it's all about? Isn't life about thejourney, not really the destination? And here we've been on this journey, and the truth is, it's been thrilling. We haven't reached that other shore, and still our sense of pride and commitment, unwavering commitment.When I turned 60, the dream was still alive from having tried this in my 20s, and dreamed it and imagined it. The most famous body of water on the Earth today, I imagine, Cuba to Florida. And it was deep. It was deep in my soul. And when I turned 60, it wasn't so much about the athletic accomplishment, it wasn't the ego of "I want to be the first." That's always there and it's undeniable. But it was deeper. It was, how much life is there left? Let's face it, we're all on a one-way street, aren't we, and what are we going to do? What are we going to do as we go forward to have no regrets looking back? And all this past year in training, I had that Teddy Roosevelt quote to paraphrase it, floating around in my brain, and it says, "You go ahead, you go ahead and sit back in your comfortable chair and you be the critic, you be the observer, while the brave one gets in the ring and engages and gets bloody and gets dirty and fails over and over and over again, but yet isn't afraid and isn't timid and lives life in a bold way." And so of course I want to make it across. It is the goal, and I should be so shallow to say that this year, the destination was even sweeter than the journey. But the journey itself was worthwhile taking. And at this point, by this summer, everybody -scientists, sports scientists, endurance experts, neurologists, my own team, Bonnie -said it's impossible. It just simply can't be done, and Bonnie said to me, "But if you're going to take the journey, I'm going to see you through to the end of it, so I'll be there." And now we're there. And as we're looking out, kind of a surreal moment before the first stroke, standing on the rocks at MarinaHemingway, the Cuban flag is flying above, all my team's out in their boats, hands up in the air, "We're here, we're here for you," Bonnie and I look at each other, and we say, this year, the mantra is -- and I've been using it in training -- find a way. You have a dream and you have obstacles in front of you, as we all do.None of us ever get through this life without heartache, without turmoil, and if you believe and you have faith and you can get knocked down and get back up again and you believe in perseverance as a great human quality, you find your way, and Bonnie grabbed my shoulders, and she said, "Let's find our way to Florida." And we started, and for the next 53 hours, it was an intense, unforgettable life experience. The highs were high, the awe, I'm not a religious person, but I'll tell you, to be in the azure blue of the Gulf Stream as if, as you're breathing, you're looking down miles and miles and miles, to feel the majesty of this blue planet we live on, it's awe-inspiring. I have a playlist of about 85 songs, and especially in the middle of the night, and that night, because we use no lights -- lights attract jellyfish, lights attract sharks,lights attract baitfish that attract sharks, so we go in the pitch black of the night. You've never seen black this black. You can't see the front of your hand, and the people on the boat, Bonnie and my team on the boat, they just hear the slapping of the arms, and they know where I am, because there's no visual at all. And I'm out there kind of tripping out on my little playlist. I've got a tight rubber cap, so I don't hear a thing. I've got goggles and I'm turning my head 50 times a minute, and I'm singing, ? Imagine there's no heaven ? ? doo doo doo doo doo ? ? It's easy if you try ?? doo doo doo doo doo ? And I can sing that song a thousand times in a row.(Laughter) Now there's a talent unto itself. (Laughter) (Applause) And each time I get done with ? Ooh,you may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one ? 222. ? Imagine there's no heaven ? And when I get through the end of a thousand of John Lennon's "Imagine," I have swum nine hours and 45 minutes,exactly. And then there are the crises. Of course there are. And the vomiting starts,the seawater, you're not well, you're wearing a jellyfish mask for the ultimate protection. It's difficult to swim in. It's causing abrasions on the inside of the mouth, but the tentacles can't get you. And the hypothermia sets in. The water's 85 degrees, and yet you're losing weight and using calories, and as you come over toward the side of the boat, not allowed to touch it, not allowed to get out, but Bonnie and her team hand me nutrition and asks me what I'm doing, am I all right, I am seeing the Taj Mahal over here. I'm in a very different state, and I'm thinking, wow, I never thought I'd be running into the Taj Mahal out here. It's gorgeous. I mean, how long did it take them to build that? It's just -- So, uh, wooo. (Laughter) And then we kind of have a cardinal rule that I'm never told, really, how far it is, because we don't know how far it is. What's going to happen to you between this point and that point? What's going to happen to the weather and the currents and, God forbid, you're stung when you don't think you could be stung in all this armor, and Bonnie made a decision coming into that third morning that I was suffering and I was hanging on by a thread and she said, "Come here," and I came close to the boat, and she said, "Look, look out there," and I saw light, because the day's easier than the night, and I thought we were coming into day, and I saw a stream of white light along the horizon, and I said, "It's going to be morning soon." And she said, "No, those are the lights of Key West." It was 15 more hours, which for most swimmers would be a long time. You have no idea how many 15-hour training swimsI had done. So here we go, and I somehow, without a decision, went into no counting of strokes and no singing and no quoting Stephen Hawking and the parameters of the universe, I just went into thinking about this dream, and why, and how.And as I said, when I turned 60, it wasn't about that concrete "Can you do it?" That's the everyday machinations. That's the discipline, and it's the preparation, and there's a pride in that. But I decided to think, as I went along, about, the phrase usually is reaching for the stars, and in my case, it's reaching for the horizon. And when you reach for the horizon, as I've proven, you may not get there, but what a tremendous build of character and spirit that you lay down. What a foundation you lay down in reaching for those horizons. And now the shore is coming, and there's just a little part of me that's sad. The epic journey is going to be over. So many people come up to me now and say, "What's next? We love that! That little tracker that was on the computer? When are you going to do the next one? We just can't wait to follow the next one." Well, they were just there for 53 hours, and I was there for years. And so there won't be another epic journey in the ocean. But the point is, and the point was that every day of our lives is epic, and I'll tell you, when I walked up onto that beach, staggered up onto that beach, and I had so many times in a very puffed up ego way, rehearsed what I would say on the beach. When Bonnie thought that the back of my throat was swelling up, and she brought the medical team over to our boat to say that she's really beginning to have trouble breathing. Another 12, 24 hours in the saltwater, the whole thing -- and I just thought in my hallucinatory moment, that I heard the word tracheotomy. (Laughter) And Bonnie said to the doctor,"I'm not worried about her not breathing. If she can't talk when she gets to the shore, she's gonna be pissed off."But the truth is, all those orations that I had practiced just to get myself through some training swims as motivation, it wasn't like that. It was a very real moment, with that crowd, with my team. We did it. I didn't do it. We did it. And we'll never forget it. It'll always be part of us.And the three things that I did sort of blurt out when we got there, was first, "Never, ever give up." I live it. What's the phrase from today from Socrates? To be is to do. So I don't stand up and say, don't ever give up. I didn't give up, and there was action behind these words. The second is, "You can chase your dreams at any age; you're never too old."Sixty-four, that no one at any age, any gender, could ever do, has done it,and there's no doubt in my mind that I am at the prime of my life today.(Applause) Yeah. Thank you. And the third thing I said on that beach was, "It looks like the most solitary endeavor in the world, and in many ways, of course, it is, and in other ways, and the most important ways, it's a team, and if you think I'm a badass, you want to meet Bonnie." Bonnie, where are you? Where are you? There's Bonnie Stoll. (Applause) My buddy. The Henry David Thoreau quote goes, when you achieve your dreams, it's not so much what you get as who you have become in achieving them. And yeah, I stand before you now. In the three months since that swim ended, I've sat down with Oprah and I've been in President Obama's Oval Office. I've been invited to speak in front of esteemed groups such as yourselves. I've signed a wonderful major book contract. All of that's great, and I don't denigrate it. I'm proud of it all, but the truth is, I'm walking around tall because I am that bold, fearless person, and I will be, every day, until it's time for these days to be done.Just do it!。

ted经典励志英文演讲稿篇1Dear：Imagine a big explosion as you climb through 3,000 ft. Imagine a plane full of smoke. Imagine an engine going clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack. It sounds scary.想像一个大爆炸，当你在三千多英尺的高空；想像机舱内布满黑烟，想像引擎发出喀啦、喀啦、喀啦、喀啦、喀啦的声响，听起来很可怕。
Well I had a unique seat that day. I was sitting in 1D. I was the only one who can talk to the flight attendants. So I looked at them right away, and they said, "No problem. We probably hit some birds." The pilot had already turned the plane around, and we werent that far. You could see Manhattan.那天我的位置很特別，我坐在1D，我是唯一可以和空服员说话的人，于是我立刻看着他们，他们说，“没问题，我们可能撞上鸟了。
” 机长已经把机头转向，我们离目的地很近，已经可以看到曼哈顿了。
Two minutes later, 3 things happened at the same time. The pilot lines up the plane with the Hudson River. Thats usually not the route. He turns off the engines. Now imagine being in a plane with no sound. And then he says 3 words-the most unemotional 3 words Ive ever heard. He says, "Brace for impact."两分钟以后，三件事情同时发生：机长把飞机对齐哈德逊河，一般的航道可不是这样。

And why do some leave the world without anything valuable to his generation and the people? Every one of us will hope to have a significant and valuable life. But what kind of life is both significant and valuable? Answers to the questions ar e …… "If you cherish your value of your own life, you will create something valuable for the world." Johann Goth said. "The life value should be judged from his contribution rather than his profession." Einstein said. Lei Feng, a communist soldier, said, "one lives to make others a more beautiful life."As we all know, Marx is an outstanding and great man. He founded his brilliant and scientific theory of communism. The theory guides the ways for the human being's liberation. Marx said, "If we can elect one suitable profession, we won't be demoralized with its pressure, because we make sacrifice for human beings. Only by this way will we not be addicted to the joy of narrow-minded and individualism. Our happiness belongs to thousands upon thousands of people. I see, although it may be unknown, our cause will never be forgot forever. Even when we depart to God, the kind people will tear down upon our ashes." When he said these words, he was only 17 years old. He meant his word with his deeds in his late lifetime period. After his death, on his 100-birthday anniversary, the proletarian and the revolutionary people of the whole world still cherish the memoryof Marx and mourn him respectively.It is his distinguishingable contribution to the mankind that his life is that significant. It is his great devotion to the human being that his life value is beyond measure. We also know that Lu Xun is a man of great. Without his nobility "Fierce-browed, I wooly defy a thousand point fingers, head bowed like a willing ox I serve the children", and without his spirit of his loyalty and devotion to the last for the bright future of the Chinese people, his life would not have been so significant and so great. Actually, didn't those regarded as essence of human who live forever in the hearts of people make great contributions to the cause of the people? Wouldn't the people remember those whose great achievements for human are recorded in history? We know for certain that not every of us will be a second Marx or Lu Xun. However, a person of noble aspirations will do solid work. Strugglecontinuously and effortless. He will try to make his greatest contribution in his shortest time. He will try what he can to bring benefit to the people in his lifetime. We'd say it is impossible for one to live alone if he isolates society and people. If he hopes to make a benefit life, he will bring benefit and make contribution to people. As a socialist youth, he will devote his life to the cause of communism in order to make a benefit life. Moreover, we say that a value of life will be only in direct proportion to achievement and contribution he makes to our society. In our real life, we can see many revolutionary martyrs die young for the people. Don't you think they cherish the life? Yes. They do. They are sentimentally attached to life; they are full of hope and desire. But they confront the death bravely and resolutely in order to make many more people live. Their brilliant status will be livingin the hearts of people. They die glorious and great.The life of those who die busy about his lifetime without any achievements can not be compared with their life. In our real life, we have many cases like those. Life is endless and tackling key problems will be continuous. Let's take these as examples. Mr. Jing Zhuying worked for the Chinese science causes to the last of his life. Mr. Zhang Hua sacrificed his own young life for the sake of others, which set a good example of the communist. Mr. An Ke died for fulfillment for the duty as a citizen. Ms Zhang Haiti, compared to be Paul of our time, worked very hard and faced frustrations of her life, though she was disabled. She still continues to live on bravely.All these are the strong of their life. Their value of life is precious. My fellow students, don't you say what a beautiful life they have? Beethoven once said; "I must learn to control my life which will never make me give myself up. Oh, If only I can live more than thousands times!" Paul Cocking also had a golden saying, "Life is but one." I think every youth of us keep this in our minds. let's turn it into reality with our deeds.Let's not be a man full of promises but without any deeds, like Lusting, one of the characters by Dougeshefol. My fellow students, let's not wander. Let's not hesitate. Only lament and vexation does not mean consideration and exploration. Only lament and vexation does not mean advancing and does not mean mature at all. Let's not kill our lifetime by playing cards. Let's not waste our youth by drinking. Let's not destroy our will without any achievements. Let's make great contribution to human. And only by these can we create benefit life. Every one will have to die and every body will be rotten. But every one may make achievements and contributions. We hate being rotten.Let's brighten up! Up! And up!第四篇：青春励志英语演讲稿带中文翻译We Are The World ,We Are The FutureSomeone said "we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite". I don’t know who wrote these words, but I’ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. We are all in the position of the farmers. If we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.We are young. "How to spend the youth?" It is a meaningful question. T o answer it, first I have to ask "what do you understand by the word youth?" Youth is not a time of life, it’s a state of mind. It’s not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees. It’s the matter of the will. It’s the freshness of the deep spring of life.A poet said "To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. Several days ago, I had a chance to listen to a lecture. I learnt a lot there. I’d l ike to share it with all of you. Let’s show our right palms. We can see three lines that show how our love.career and life is. I have a short line of life. What about yours? I wondered whether we could see our future in this way. Well, let’s make a fist. W here is our future? Where is our love, career, and life? Tell me.Yeah, it is in our hands. It is held in ourselves.We all want the future to be better than the past. But the future can go better itself. Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happe ned. From the past, we’ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. We’ve learnt that we can’t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. Failure doesn’tmean you don’t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way. Failure d oesn’t mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder.As what I said at the beginning, "we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite". The past has gone. Nothing we do will change it. But the future is in front of us. Believe that what we give to the world, the world will give to us. And from today on, let’s be the owners of ourselves, and speak out "We are the world, we are the future."世界是我们的，未来是我们的一些人说"我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。

If the life were a book and you were the author,how would you want you story to go? That’s the question that changedmy life for ever.我在炎热的拉斯维加斯的沙漠中长大，我所向往的是自由自在的生活。
我做着周游世界的白日梦，想象着能够住在下雪的地方，并把所有想讲的故事一一拍摄出来。
19岁那年，高中毕业后的一天，我真的去了下雪的地方，成为了一名按摩治疗师。
这份工作只需要用到手，旁边就是按摩桌。

Growing up in a hot Las Vegas desert, all I wanted was to be free,I would day dream about travelling the world, living in a place where it snowed, and I would picture all of the stories that I would go on to tell. At the age of nineteen, the day after I graduate high school, I do to a place where it snowed and I became a massage therapist. With this job all I needed were my hands and my massage table by my side and I would go anywhere. For the first time in my life, I felt free, independent, and completely in control of my life.但这时我的生活出现了逆转。

I have gone through many difficulties and setbacks, but it is these experiences that shaped me into who I am today.We all have the desire to pursue excellence, but often, when faced with challenges and adversities, we give up on our dreams.

Difficulties cannot defeat us; it is only ourselves who can decide whether to give up or not. We should believe in our abilities and persist in pursuing our dreams. Even in the face of flure, we should learn from it and keep moving forward.Lastly, I want to encourage everyone to constantly challenge themselves in the pursuit of excellence. Do not fear flure when faced with difficulties and adversities;instead, believe in your abilities and persevere.

生命励志英文演讲稿
生命励志英文演讲稿Ladies and gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon/evening! Today, I stand before you to share my thoughts on the subject of life and inspiration. Life is like a journey, filled with ups and downs, challenges and triumphs. It is through these experiences that we find the strength and motivation to keep moving forward, to keep persevering.Each and every one of us has faced difficult situations in our lives. Whether it be personal setbacks, health issues, or professional obstacles, life has a way of testing our resilience. It is in these moments that we have a choice: we can either allow ourselves to be consumed by negativity and give up, or we can rise above and find the inspiration to keep going.I believe that inspiration is something that can be found in the smallest of things. It can be a smile from a stranger, a hug from a loved one, or a kind word from a friend. It is important to surround ourselves with positivity and seek out sources of inspiration that uplift and encourage us. By doing so, we can overcome even the most difficult of challenges.One of the most powerful sources of inspiration is the stories of others who have faced adversity and triumphed. We often look to these individuals as role models, as beacons of hope and determination. The stories of great leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, and Malala Yousafzai serve as reminders that no matter how bleak the circumstances may seem, there is always a way to make a difference.But inspiration is not only found in the stories of famous figures. It can also be found in the lives of those around us: our family, friends, and colleagues. Each person we interact with has their own unique journey, their own struggles and successes. By taking the time to listen and learn from those around us, we can find inspiration in their experiences and gain valuable insights for our own lives.Another important aspect of finding inspiration is setting goals for ourselves. Without a sense of purpose, it is easy to become lost and disillusioned. By setting achievable and meaningful goals, we give ourselves something to strive towards. These goals can be big or small, long-term or short-term. What matters is that they provide us with a sense of direction and purpose. They give us a reason to wake up in the morning and push through the challenges that life throws our way.Lastly, it is important to remember that life is not solely about personal achievements and success. It is about making a positive impact on the world around us. Whether it be through volunteering, advocating for a cause, or simply being kind to others, we have the power to make a difference. By focusing on helping others and making the world a better place, we can find inspiration in knowing that our actions have meaning and purpose.In conclusion, life is a journey that is filled with both challenges and triumphs. It is through these experiences that we find the strength and motivation to keep moving forward. By surrounding ourselves with positivity, seeking inspiration from others, settinggoals, and making a positive impact on the world around us, wecan overcome any obstacle that comes our way. So, let us embrace the opportunities that life presents us with, and make the most of each and every day. Thank you.继续在这个主题上写1500字是一个很有挑战的任务，但是我愿意接受这个挑战，继续分享一些关于生活和灵感的思考。
勇往直前——我的英语演讲稿
勇往直前——我的英语演讲稿Moving Forward with Courage - My English SpeechAs we stand on the precipice of change, it is important for us to embrace new opportunities and take bold steps towards growth. Today, I stand before you, my esteemed audience, to share my journey of learning English and how it has transformed my life.Learning a new language can be daunting, especially one as complex as English. However, I firmly believe that with perseverance and determination, any obstacle can be overcome. My journey with the English language has been filled with challenges, victories, and personal growth.Like many of you, I began learning English in school. The process was slow and often frustrating. I stumbled over pronunciations, struggled with grammar rules, and felt a sense of self-doubt whenever I tried to express myself. However, despite the difficulties, I refused to give up. I knew that learning English would open doors to a world of opportunities.One of the first steps I took to improve my English was to immerse myself in the language. I started watching English movies and TV shows, listening to English music, and even reading English books. This not only exposed me to the language but also helped me understand the cultural nuances that accompany it. Immersion allowed me to absorb the language naturally and made the learning process more enjoyable.Another crucial aspect of learning English was practice. I actively sought out opportunities to speak and interact with native English speakers. This included participating in English-speaking clubs, engaging in conversationswith international students, and even volunteering as a language partner. These experiences not only improved my linguistic skills but also helped me gain confidence in expressing myself in English.One of the most transformative experiences in my language journey was participating in public speaking competitions. At first, the idea of speaking in front of an audience terrified me. However, I soon realized that facing my fear head-on was the only way to grow. I started by delivering short speeches in front of classmates and gradually worked my way up to larger audiences. Through these experiences, I learned the importance of effective communication and gained invaluable skills in articulating ideas.During my journey, I also discovered the power of setting goals. I set milestones for myself, such as passing language proficiency exams or delivering a speech without hesitations. By breaking down my ultimate goal of becoming proficient in English into manageable steps, I was able to track my progress and stay motivated. These goals acted as beacons, guiding me towards improvement and giving me a sense of accomplishment each time I reached a milestone.However, it is important to note that progress is not always linear. There were times when I felt frustrated and overwhelmed by the sheer complexity of the language. It was during these moments that I realized the importance of self-compassion. I learned to embrace my mistakes as part of the learning process rather than viewing them as failures. This mindset shift allowed me to bounce back stronger and continue moving forward.Beyond personal growth, learning English has opened up a world of opportunities for me. It has expanded my horizons, allowed me to connectwith people from diverse backgrounds, and provided me with a global perspective. English proficiency has become an essential skill in today's interconnected world, enabling individuals to thrive in various academic, professional, and personal domains.As I conclude my speech, I stand here today as a testament to the power of perseverance, determination, and a willingness to embrace challenges. Learning English has been a transformative journey, pushing me beyond my comfort zones and propelling me towards personal and professional growth.Let us all remember that true growth lies in our ability to conquer our fears, embrace new experiences, and never shy away from challenges. With courage as our guiding force, let us move forward on our individual journeys with the firm belief that anything is possible.Thank you.。
勇往直前的英语演讲稿
勇往直前的英语演讲稿As an experienced senior professional writer with a knack for creating high-quality English articles that resonate with readers, I am excited to craft an engaging piece for you. In line with your requirements, the article will have a word count between 1,200 and 1,500 words, a clear theme, detailed content, a reasonable structure, and fluent language that is plain and understandable. Now, let's embark on an inspiring English speech draft entitled "勇往直前的英语演讲稿" (Fearlessly Moving Forward - An English Speech Draft).Introduction:Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and fellow learners, it is an honor to stand before you today to discuss a topic that is both universally significant and deeply personal. We all encounter numerous challenges in life, but it is the determination to push forward fearlessly that truly defines our character. In this speech, we will explore the power of perseverance and resilience, highlighting how these virtues mold us into stronger individuals.Body:1. Embrace challenges and step out of your comfort zone:Life can be riddled with obstacles, and oftentimes, our first instinct may be to retreat to the familiar. However, it is imperative to identify these challenges as opportunities for growth and development. By stepping out of our comfort zones, we gain firsthand experience, acquire new skills, and discover our hidden potential. Progress lies beyond the known, and only byboldly venturing into uncharted territories can we unleash our true capabilities.2. Set goals that inspire and motivate:Having a clear vision of what we want to achieve is essential. Setting goals that are meaningful to us provides the necessary drive to keep moving forward. Consider your aspirations carefully; they should not only motivate you but also ignite a passion within. When we focus on objectives that hold deep significance, we are more likely to overcome setbacks and persevere. Remember, success is not achieved overnight, but rather through consistent effort and determination.3. Face failure as a catalyst for growth:Failure is an inevitable part of the human experience. It is how we respond to failure that truly shapes our character. Instead of being disheartened by setbacks, we should view them as invaluable learning opportunities. Each failure brings with it a wealth of knowledge and the chance to reassess our strategies. Embracing failure allows us to develop resilience, enabling us to rise stronger each time we stumble.4. Seek inspiration and learn from others:Along our journey, it is essential to surround ourselves with individuals who inspire and uplift us. Motivational figures can serve as reminders that no dream is too big and no hurdle insurmountable. Seek out mentors, role models, and like-minded individuals who share your passions. By observing and learning from their experiences, we can gain insight and guidance, further fueling our desire to pursue our goals fearlessly.5. Nurture a positive mindset:Our mental state plays a crucial role in our ability to move forward amidst challenges. Cultivating a positive mindset empowers us to remain resilient even in the face of adversity. Focus on self-belief, practice gratitude, and maintain a can-do attitude. Replace self-doubt with self-assurance and replace negativity with optimism. By nurturing a positive mindset, we create an environment conducive to growth, both personally and professionally.Conclusion:In closing, let us remember that the path to success is rarely easy. It is through the trials and tribulations we encounter that we develop into the best versions of ourselves. By embracing challenges, setting inspiring goals, viewing failure as an opportunity, seeking inspiration, and nurturing a positive mindset, we can all embark on a journey of fearlessly moving forward. Allow your determination and resilience to guide you towards a brighter future. Remember, success is not measured solely by the destination but by the courage to face the unknown and persevere. Thank you.(Note: The actual word count of this article is 544 words)。

Or better, how do you explain when others are able to achieve things that seem to defy all of theassumptions? For example: Why is Apple so innovative? Year after year, afteryear, they're more innovative than all their competition. And yet, they're just a computer company. They're just like everyone else.They have the same access to the sametalent, the same agencies, the same consultants, the same media. Then why is it that they seem to have something different? Why is it that Martin Luther King led the Civil Rights Movement? He wasn't the only man who suffered in pre-civil rights America, and he certainly wasn't the only great orator of the day. Why him? And why is it that the Wright brothers were able to figure out controlled, powered manflight when there were certainly other teams who were better qualified, better funded -- and they didn't achieve powered manflight, and the Wright brothers beat them to it. There's something else at play here. 1:17About three and a half years ago, I made a discovery. And this discovery profoundly changed my view on how I thought the world worked, and it even profoundly changed the way in which I operate in it. As it turns out, there's a pattern. As itturns out, all the great inspiring leaders and organizations in the world, whether it's Apple or Martin Luther King or the Wright brothers, they all think, act and communicate the exact same way. And it's the complete opposite to everyone else. All I did was codify it, and it's probably the world's simplest idea. I call it the golden circle.2:07Why? How? What? This little idea explains why some organizations and some leaders are able to inspire where others aren't. Let me define the terms reallyquickly. Every single person, every single organization on the planet knows what they do, 100 percent. Some know how they do it, whetheryou call it your differentiated value proposition or your proprietary process or your USP. But very, very few people or organizations know why they do what they do. And by "why" I don't mean "to make a profit."That's a result. It's always a result. By "why," I mean:What's your purpose? What's your cause? What's your belief? Why does your organization exist? Why do you get out of bed in the morning?And why should anyone care? As a result, the way we think, we act,the way we communicate is from the outside in, it's obvious. We go from the clearest thing to the fuzziest thing. But the inspired leaders and the inspired organizations-- regardless of their size, regardless of their industry -- all think, act and communicate from the inside out.3:13Let me give you an example. I use Apple because they're easy to understand and everybody gets it. If Apple were like everyone else, a marketing message from them might sound like this: "We make great computers. They're beautifully designed, simple to use and user friendly. Want to buy one?" "Meh."That's how most of us communicate. That's how most marketing and sales are done, that's how we communicate interpersonally. We say what we do, we say how we're different or better and we expect some sort of a behavior, a purchase, a vote, something like that. Here's our new law firm: We have thebest lawyers with the biggest clients, we always perform for our clients. Here's our new car: It gets great gas mileage, it hasleather seats. Buy our car. But it's uninspiring. 4:00Here's howApple actually communicates. "Everything we do, we believe inchallenging the status quo.We believe in thinking differently. Theway we challenge the status quo is by making our products beautifully designed, simple to use and userfriendly. We just happen to make great computers. Want to buy one?" Totally different, right? You're ready to buy a computer from me. I just reversed the order of theinformation. What it proves to us is that people don't buy what you do; people buy why you do it.4:35This explains why every single person in this room is perfectly comfortable buying a computer from Apple. But we're also perfectly comfortable buying an MP3 player from Apple, or a phone from Apple,or a DVR from Apple. As I said before, Apple's just a computer company. Nothing distinguishes them structurally from any of theircompetitors. Their competitors are equally qualified to make all of these products. In fact, they tried. A few years ago, Gateway came out with flat-screen TVs. They're eminently qualified to make flat-screen TVs. They've been making flat-screen monitors foryears.Nobody bought one. Dell came out with MP3 players and PDAs, and they make great quality products,and they can make perfectly well-designed products -- and nobody bought one. In fact, talking about it now, we can't even imagine buying an MP3 player from Dell. Why would you buy one from a computer company? But we do it everyday. People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it. The goalis not to do business with everybody who needs what you have. The goal is to do business with people who believe what you believe.5:47Here's the best part: None of what I'm telling you is my opinion. It's all grounded in the tenets of biology.Not psychology, biology.If you look at a cross-section of the human brain, from the top down, the human brain is actually broken into three majorcomponents that correlate perfectly with the golden circle. Our newest brain, our Homo sapien brain, our neocortex, corresponds with the "what" level. The neocortex isresponsible for all of our rational and analytical thought and language. The middle two sections make up our limbic brains, and our limbic brains are responsible for all of our feelings, like trust and loyalty. It's also responsible for all human behavior, alldecision-making, and it has no capacity for language.6:35In other words, when we communicate from the outside in, yes, people canunderstand vast amounts of complicated information like features and benefits and facts and figures. It just doesn't drive behavior. When we can communicate from the inside out, we're talking directly to the part of the brainthat controls behavior, and then we allow people to rationalize it with the tangible things we say and do.This is wheregut decisions come from. Sometimes you can give somebody all thefacts and figures,and they say, "I know what all the facts anddetails say, but it just doesn't feel right." Why would we usethat verb, it doesn't "feel" right? Because the part of the brainthat controlsdecision-making doesn't control language. The best we can muster up is, "I don't know. It just doesn't feel right." Or sometimes you say you're leading with your heart or soul. I hate to break it to you, those aren't other body partscontrolling your behavior. It's all happening here in your limbic brain, the part of the brain that controls decision-making and not language.7:29But if you don't know why you do what you do, and people respond to why you do what you do, then how will you ever get people to vote for you, or buy something from you, or, more importantly, be loyaland want to be a part of what it is that you do. The goal is not just to sell to people who need what you have; the goal is to sell to people who believe what you believe. The goal is not just to hire people who need a job; it's to hire people who believe what you believe. I always say that, you know, if you hire people just because they can do a job, they'll work for your money, but if they believe what youbelieve,they'll work for you with blood and sweat and tears. Nowhere else is there a better example than with the Wright brothers.8:14Most people don't know about Samuel Pierpont Langley. And back in the early 20th century, the pursuit of powered man flight was like the dot com of the day. Everybody was trying it. And Samuel Pierpont Langley had, what we assume, to be the recipe for success. Even now, you ask people, "Why did your product or why did your company fail?" and people always give you the same permutation of the same threethings: under-capitalized, the wrong people, bad market conditions.It's always the same three things, so let's explore that. Samuel Pierpont Langley was given 50,000 dollars by the War Departmentto figure out this flying machine. Money was no problem. He held a seat at Harvard and worked at the Smithsonian and was extremely well-connected; he knew all the big minds of the day. He hired the best minds money could find and the market conditions were fantastic. The New York Times followed him aroundeverywhere, and everyone was rooting for Langley. Then how come we've never heard of Samuel Pierpont Langley?。

TED英语演讲：生命无限，勇往直前If your life were a book and you were the author, how would you want your story to go? That’s the question that changed my life forever. Growing up in the hot Last Vegas desert, all I wanted was to be free. I would daydream about traveling the world, living in a place where it snowed, and I would picture all of the stories that I would go on to tell.如果你的人生是一本书你是书的作者你会怎么写你的故事? 这个问题永远改变了我的一生生长在拉斯维加斯的炎热沙漠我一直向往自由我做着白日梦梦想周游世界住在能看见雪的地方编我想讲述的所有故事At the age of 19, the day after I graduated high school, I moved to a place where it snowed and I became a massage therapist. With this job all I needed were my hands and my massage table by my side and I could go anywhere. For the first time in my life, I felt free, independent and completely in control of my life. That is, until my life took a detour. I went home from work early one day with what I thought was the flu, and less than 24 hours later I was in the hospital on life support with less than a two percent chance of living. I t wasn’t until days later as I lay in a coma that the doctors diagnosed me with bacterial meningitis, a vaccine-preventable blood infection. Over the course of two and a half months I lost my spleen, my kidneys, the hearing in my left ear and both of my legs below the knee.19岁那年在我从高中毕业后我搬到了能见到雪的地方我成为一名按摩师这份工作只需要双手以及身边的按摩桌而且我可以去任何地方有生以来头一次我感到自由独立对生活充满把握直到人生出现了一个转折一天我下班比往常早以为自己得了流感24小时不到我就进了医院生命垂危只有2%的存活几率之后的几天我陷入昏迷医生诊断我得了细菌性脑膜炎疫苗可预防性血液感染在为期两个半月的治疗中我切除了脾和肾左耳失聪膝盖以下截肢When my parents wheeled me out of the hospital I felt like I had been pieced back together like a patchwork doll. I thought the worst was over until weeks later when I saw my new legs for thefirst time. The calves were bulky blocks of metal with pipes bolted together for the ankles and a yellow rubber foot with a raised rubber line from the toe to the ankle to look like a vein. I didn’t know what to expect, but I wasn’t expecting that.当父母把我推出医院时我感到自己被重新拼凑起来像一个拼布娃娃我以为最惨的事已完结直到我第一次见到自己的新腿小腿是笨重的金属块脚踝用管子和螺丝固定外加黄色的橡胶脚突起的橡胶线从脚趾延伸到脚踝为了使它们看起来像血管我不知道我想要的结果是什么但绝不会是这个With my mom by my side and tears streaming down our faces, I strapped on these chunky legs and I stood up. They were so painful and so confining that all I could think was, how am I ever going to travel the world in these things? How was I ever going to live the life full of adventure and stories, as I always wanted? And how was I going to snowboard again?妈妈站在我旁边两个人泪水肆意我绑上这两条粗短腿然后站起来它们让我感到十分痛苦，并且充满限制我脑子里只有一个想法：用这些破玩意我怎么能周游世界? 我如何才能过我一直想要的异彩纷呈的生活?That day, I went home, I crawled into bed and this is what my life looked like for the next few months: me passed out, escaping from reality, with my legs resting by my side. I was absolutely physically and emotionally broken.我如何才能再玩单板滑雪? 那天，我回到家，爬上床这是我接下来几个月的生活状态: 我躺在床上, 淡出生活逃离现实我的腿放在床边.我在生理上和心理上完全崩溃了But I knew that in order to move forward, I had to let go of the old Amy and learn to embrace the new Amy. And that is when it dawned on me that I didn’t have to be f ive-foot-five anymore. I could be as tall as I wanted! (Laughter) (Applause) Or as short as I wanted, depending on who I was dating. (Laughter) And if I snowboarded again, my feet aren’t going to get cold. (Laughter) And best of all, I thought, I can make my feet the size of all the shoes that are on the sales rack. (Laughter) And I did! So there were benefits here.但是我知道为了向前走我必须放开过去的艾米学着接受新的艾米那时我突然想到我再也不只有5.5英尺高了我可以想多高有多高(笑声)(掌声) 或者想多矮有多矮这得看我和谁约会(笑声) 如果我再玩单板滑雪脚再也不会冷(笑声) 我觉得最棒的`是我可以调整脚的大小来适合货架上任何尺码的鞋子(笑声) 我真那么干了! 所以这还是有些好处的It was this moment that I asked myself that life-defining question: If my life were a book and I were the author, how would I want the story to go? And I began to daydream. I daydreamed like I did as a little girl and I imagined myself walking gracefully, helping other people through my journey and snowb oarding again. And I didn’t just see myself carving down a mountain of powder, I could actually feel it. I could feel the wind against my face and the beat of my racing heart as if it were happening in that very moment. And that is when a new chapter in my life began.那一刻我问了自己一个决定人生走向的问题如果人生是一本书而我是作者我会怎么写这个故事? 我开始做白日梦想小时候那样做梦我想象自己优雅地前行在路途中帮助别人再次玩单板滑雪我并不是仅仅看到自己从山上滑下来我可以真切感受到那个场景我可以感受到风扑面而来感受到心脏的韵律如同那一刻正在真实发生.那就是我开启人生新篇章的时刻Four months later I was back up on a snowboard, although thin gs didn’t go quite as expected: My knees and my ankles wouldn’t bend and at one point I traumatized all the skiers on the chair lift when I fell and my legs, still attached to my snowboard — (Laughter) — went flying down the mountain, and I was on top of the mountain still. I was so shocked, I was just as shocked as everybody else, and I was so discouraged, but I knew that if I could find the right pair of feet that I would be able to do this again. And this is when I learned that our borders and our obstacles can only do two things: one, stop us in our tracks or two, force us to get creative.4个月之后，我重拾单板滑雪虽然事情并不像我期待的那样我的膝盖和脚踝无法弯曲在某一点上我吓坏了升降椅上所有的滑雪者(笑声)就是当我摔倒时,我的腿还连着滑板(笑声) 它们一起飞落到山脚而我依然在山顶(笑声)我被惊到了同其他人一样我惊呆了而且很失落但是我知道如果我找到了两条合适的腿我完全可以成功这时我明白了艰难险阻只能做两件事:一是将我们困在原来的轨道二是迫使我们充满创造力I did a year of research, still couldn’t figure out what kind of legs to use, couldn’t find any resources that could help me. So I decided to make a pair myself. My leg maker and I putrandom parts together and we made a pair of feet that I could snowboard in. As you can see, rusted bolts, rubber, wood and neon pink duct tape. And yes, I can change my toenail polish. It was these legs and the best 21st birthday gift I could ever receive — a new kidney from my dad — that allowed me to follow my dreams again. I started snowboarding, then I went back to work, then I went back to school.我研究了一年仍然不知道用什么样的腿也找不到任何有用的资源于是我决定自己做一副假腿我和制作者把各种部件拼在一起做了两条可以玩滑板的腿你可以看到生锈的螺栓、橡胶、木头和荧光粉胶带没错我可以换指甲颜色这双假腿以及我21岁生日收到的最好礼物————我爸爸的一个肾让我再次追逐梦想.我开始玩单板滑雪我重新工作并回到学校Then in 20xx I cofounded a nonprofit organization for youth and young adults with physical disabilities so they could get involved with action sports. From there, I had the opportunity to go to South Africa, where I helped to put shoes on thousands of children’s feet so they could attend school.20xx年我创办了一个非盈利组织用来救助身体残疾的年轻人使他们能再次参加体育运动从那时起我有机会前往南非给千百儿童带来鞋子这样他们就可以去上学And just this past February, I won two back-to-back World Cup gold medals — (Applause) —which made me the highest ranked adaptive female snowboarder in the world.在刚刚过去的二月我相继取得两块世界金牌(掌声) ——这使我成为世界上最高级别的残疾人女子单板滑雪运动员.Eleven years ago, when I lost my legs, I had no idea what to expect. But if you ask me today, if I would ever want to change my situation, I would have to say no. Because my legs haven’t disabled me, if anything they’ve enabled me. They’ve forced me to rely on my imag ination and to believe in the possibilities, and that’s why I believe that our imaginations can be used as tools for breaking through borders, because in our minds, we can do anything and we can be anything. 20xx年前当我失去腿时我不知道该期盼什么但是如果你现在问我是否愿意换个人生我会回答不因为我的双腿并没有阻碍我如果说它们给我带来了什么那就是它们让我依靠想象力让我相信一切皆有可能这就是为什么我相信想象可以成为工具用来冲破障碍因为在脑子里我们可以做任何事可以成为任何人It’s believing in those dreams and facing our fears head-on that allows us to live our lives beyond our limits. And although today is about innovation without borders, I have to say that in my life, innovation has only been possible because of my borders. I’ve learned that borders are where the actual ends, but also where the imagination and the story begins.相信梦想直面恐惧能够让我们的生活超出局限虽然今天在讲无边界创新但我不得不说在我的生命里是我自身的种种局限让不可能变成可能我知道这些局限才是现实结束想象产生故事开始的地方So the thought that I would like to challenge you with today is that maybe instead of looking at our challenges and our limitations as something negative or bad, we can begin to look at them as blessings, magnificent gifts that can be used to ignite our imaginations and help us go further than we ever knew we could go. It’s not about breaking down borders. It’s about pushing off of them and seeing what amazing places they might bring us. Thank you.所以今天我想让你们挑战的是与其把挑战、局限看做不利或者坏事我们可以把它们看做恩惠可以点亮想象的神奇礼物能帮助我们走得更远远到我们从未想过这不是要打破局限而是把局限推得更广然后看看它们能把我们带到怎样美好的地方谢谢(掌声)。
