励志英文演讲稿

Life could be a long journey of pursuing happiness. Does happine ss have a universal definition ? I say no. But there must be somet hing in life that makes you realize what it means .

During the SARS period , I heard a true story . In the battle again st SARS, a doctor fell down . Mother of a 6-year-old son, wife of a considerate husband, she used to knock at the door even though she got the key, which annoyed the son . But now , to the son, how wonderful the sound was and how happy it was to open the d oor for his mum. But that will not happen forever.

What do you think? Things are always like this . We usually don’t cherish what we have until the moment we lose it. It reminds me of Helen Keller, U.S author who was blind and deaf from infancy, lived her life to the fullest. She once said “ Darkness would mak e you more appreciative of sight ; Silence would teach you the joy s of sound .”

I could suddenly understand what happiness means .Materially, it co uld be everything and it could be nothing. The important thing is t he attitude we hold. Happiness has something to do with how we f eel about what we have. Compared with the boy and Helen , we’ll find we’ve already had much more: sound health ,sense of securit y, parental love . But I’m wondering why we always tak e what we have for granted and why we often ignore what is on the other h

and luxury to others. When there are so many things to distract ou r attention and to make us confused , do we still know what we h ave and what we should do? Now, here, to all of us, what we hav e is the opportunity to learn and to experience. And this opportunit y could be a whole-life dream for many youngsters of our age .We are the lucky members. Do we have any excuse not to learn and do we have any excuse not to learn well ?

Time flies ! Four years of university life is quite short .Only once can we live ! Why can’t we realize it now so that we can make f ull use of every minute . Why don’t we focus on our studies and involve ourselves in the campus life ?If we don’t want to leave an y regret , let’s get down to some solid work from this moment .Le t’s start right now and let’s work together for our bright future and for our own happiness !
