篇一
good afternoon!
recently, ther is a heated debate in our society.the college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at extraordinary places.but will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? will we be able to better the lives of others? will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country?
the cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort.but the cynics are wrong.the college students i see are eagerly learning about how to live independently.we help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs
to supplement our pocket money.the cynics say we care for nothing other than grades;and we neglect the need for character cultivation.but again, the cynics are wrong.we care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth.last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.as college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives.we all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country.i believe in all my fellow classmates.though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish.i believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities.we are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place.i believe in our future.篇二
once upon a time, a weenie ant was walking on his way.as he was walking, suddenly he felt the ground shaking terribly.he looked around with his paranoid eyes and saw an elephant walking right behind him.quickly, the little ant covered himself with dirt, but one leg was unfortunately left out.a sparrow saw everything, so
she flew down with the purpose of teasing the ant: “hey, chicken!watch out your leg, its out!” the ant felt embarrassed at first but then calmly responded: “ shi...i am going to trip that elephant.”
right now, im standing on this glamorous stage.but everything here reminds me of is a not so fun memory.around this time last year i was in nanjing competing in another speech contest.that was the first time for me to be in such a large event.of course the pressure i was under was immense too.after a sleepless and stressful night, i went onto that stage without the feeling in my legs.that speech turned out to be horrible.i dont remember how i get down from there, but i do remember afterwards i just wanted to find a hole to hide in just like the ant in the story.back at my school, it took a long time for me to recover.thanks to all the help i got from my special friends.my confidence was restored.after rounds of giving speeches and answering tough questions, i am here today.from all that ive been through ive learned that a good future is based on a forgotten past, if i want my life to go on well i have to let go of my past failure.so today, with out fear, i am tripping my elephant again.篇三
this is a glass of water, tasteless, right? however if you add sugar, it will taste sweet, but if you add vinegar, it will become
bitter.the same is true with our life____ the flavor is created by our choices.if kindness is added to a strange you will have a friend;but if hostility is added, you will have an enemy.if love is added to a pile of red bricks you will have a home, but if hatred is add to those bricks , you will have an concentration camp.so my dear friends, never complain that life is boring and the world is disappointing.if dont like the taste of your life, change the ingredients.three year ago, i weighed more than 100 hundred kilograms which caused significant embarrassment and frustration in my life.like always failing my p.e examinations, like always being laughed at by girls, like being terrified to speak in public.it was my grandmothers encouragement that revived from my passive attitude to become confident in myself.she said " my dear, if you cant change you figure, why not treat it as your own style.so i began to cautiously employ the new way of thinking.by choosing to change my outlook on life, i developed the confidence to make a difference and finally i found a totally new world.so my dear friend, if faith, hope, love, endurance are added to your life, you will find the confidence to conquer your limitation and embrace new challenges.and hopefully with my speech included，you will have a fantastic speech contest.

夜晚励志演讲
As you lie down in your bed, close your eyes and relax.Take a deep breath and hold it for a count of 3(1, 2, 3), then slowly exhale.Your body is in a opportunity.Now，with 100% certainty you are moving in the right direction and at the right pace，you can be at ease going into sleep.Let your eyes relax，then you head，you neck，you shoulder，you chest，you waist，your thighs，you knees，your feet，your toes and your whole body.Go，slowly，go sleep！Have a comfortable position and you eyes are closed.Take another deep breath, even deeper than before, and hold the air for a count of 5(1, 2, 3, 4, 5).Again, slowly let your breath out.Notice how relaxed and loose your body feels.Now inhale again, from the center of your body，and hold your breath for a count of 8(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8).Picture yourself standing in an observation elevator.Through the glasses you can see the doors to all the building and the children playing on the ground between the buildings and the elevator.Slowly, you begin to sense the elevator is moving, it's going up.As it goes up, you begin to notice the windows and the people behind the windows.The buildings are tall, and it takes a little while to get to the top.Just as the elevator reaches over the buildings，a beautiful lake emerges in your sight, the water is clear and peaceful，ducks are playing on the lake and ripples are spreading.Beyond the lake is a grass covered mountain slope with sheep easily enjoying their meals.The elevator keeps going up，when it reaches over the top of the mountain，a beautiful harbor appears on the horizon.In the harbor sailboats are easily cruising on the blue and peaceful water.Around the harbor，large areas of trees and flowers and magnificent houses spread themselves regularly along the coast.You are struck by the beauty of the environment and harmony between nature and design.You begin to imagine yourself living in that harbor，having all the thing you ever desire，enjoying all the friendships you ever dream，and achieving all the accomplishment you ever aspire.You know all these beautiful things will be yours to keep，to cherish and enjoy，because you have found a clear purpose for your life，you have developed a sound strategy，and you have taken all the actions necessary: You got up as promised everyday;you listened to the recordings and practiced as planed.You thought often and critically;you always wrote down your thoughts the inspirations；You pushed yourself beyond your comfort zone when it comes to making new friends and seizing every learning
sweet dream！中文大意
当你躺在床上，闭上眼睛，放松。深吸一口气等我数到3 〔1，2，3〕，然后慢慢呼出。你的身体很舒服，你的双眼闭着。再深呼一口气，比以前一口更深，屏住呼吸等我数到5〔1，2，3，4，5 〕，然后慢慢呼出。注意你很放松，你的身体软软的。再深吸一口气，感觉从你身体的重心处，屏住呼吸等我数到8 〔1，2，3，4，5 〕,然后慢慢的呼出。想象自己站在一个观光电梯里，透过玻璃，你可以看到附近建筑物的门以及在空地上玩耍的孩子。慢慢地你意识到电梯在向上移动。随着电梯渐渐上行，你开始注意到建筑物的窗子背后的人。建筑物很高，过了好大一会，电梯渐渐靠近顶点。就当电梯超过建筑物的一瞬间，一潭漂亮的湖水出现在你的视野里。湖水清澈而平静，湖面上有鸭子在嬉戏，涟漪从它们身边慢慢地向外散去。湖水的外面是一个山坡，山坡上郁郁葱葱，山羊在上面懒懒地一边吃草一边玩耍。电梯继续上升，就在掠过山顶的一瞬间，一座漂亮的海港赫然出现在地平线上。海港中，帆船在湛蓝的海面上漫不经心地飘来飘去。海港周围，大片的鲜花和绿地以及设计精美的房屋沿海岸线规则有序地排列着。你被这优美的环境以及人与自然之间如此完美的融合深深地打动了，你开始想象自己就住在这个海港里，拥有你一切想得到的财物，享受你所梦想中的友谊，实现你所渴望中的成就。你知道所有这一切都将会是你的，你可以尽情的享受和珍存。因为你现在有了明确的人生方向，制定出了完善的人生策略，采取一切必要的行动：你每天按计划起床；按计划听录音进行模仿；你经常思考问题，并随时将你的体会和灵感记录下来；你总是不断地激发自己、超越自己，让自己结交新的朋友，抓住每一个学习的机会。现在，你可以完全肯定自己正在沿着正确的步调前进，你可以放心的进入梦乡了。尽量放松你的眼部，渐渐地，你的头部，你的颈部，你的肩部，你的胸部，你的腰部，你的大腿，你的膝关节，你的双脚，你的脚趾，你的全身……慢慢地，慢慢地，慢慢地，睡吧！做一个美梦！

ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon!i?m 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 existsin 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 what?s next and the joy of the game of living.in the center of your heart and my heart there?s 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!大学生英语演讲稿八译
青春
青春不是指岁月，而是指心态。粉嫩的脸，红润的唇，矫健的膝并不是青春。青春表现在意志的坚强与懦弱。想象的丰富与苍白、情感的充沛与贫乏等方面。青春是生命深处清泉的喷涌。
青春是追求。只有当勇气盖过怯弱、进取压倒苟安之时，青春才存在。果如此，则60见之长者比20岁之少年更具青春活力。仅仅岁月的流逝并不能使他们衰老。而一旦抛弃理想和信念，则垂垂老也。岁月只能使皮肤起皱。而一旦丧失生活的激情，则连灵魂枯老，使人生枯如死水，毫无活力。60岁长者也好，16岁少年也罢，每个人的内心深处都渴望奇迹，都如孩子一般眨着期待的双眼，期待着下一次，期待着生活的情趣，你我灵魂深处都有一座无线电中转站------只有你我年轻，则总能听到希望的呼唤，总能发出喜悦的欢呼，总能传达勇气的讯号，总能表现出青春的活力„„„ 一旦青春的天线倒下，你的灵魂即为玩世不恭之雪、悲观厌世之冰覆盖；即使你年方 20.其实你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天线高高耸起，就可以随时接收到乐观的电波-----即使你年过八旬，行将就木，而你却仍然拥有青春，你仍然年轻。
第四篇：大学生英语励志演讲
大学生励志英语演讲稿 good morning ladies and gentlmen,it is my great pleasure to stand here to present my speech—— yes, yes, yes, it’s a new day, it’s a different day, and it’s a bright day!and most importantly, it’s a new beginning for your life, a beginning where you are going to make new decisions, take new actions, make new friends, and take your life to a totally unprecedented(空前的)level.in your mind’s eye, you can see clearly the things you want to have, the paces you intend to go, the relationships you desire to develop, and the positions you aspire（励志）to reach.you can hear your laughters of joy and happiness on the day when everything happens as you dream.you can see the smiles on the people around you when the magic moment strikes.you can feel your face is getting red, your heart is beating fast, and your blood is rushing all over your body, to every single corner of your being!you will no longer fear making new sounds, showing new facial expressions, using your body in new ways, approaching new people, and asking new questions.you will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take.you will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life.you will never succumb(屈服,屈从)to challenges of hardships.you will never waver(动摇)in your pursuit of excellence.after all, you are the best, and you deserve the best!as your coach and friend, i can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand.you must do your part.you must faithfully follow the plans you make and take the actions you plan;you must never quit and you must never fear.i know you must do it, you can do it, you will do it, and you will succeed!now stand firm and tall, make a fist, get excited, and yell it out: i must do it!i can do it!i will do it!i will succeed!i must do it!i can do it!i will do it!i will succeed!i must do it!i can do it!i will do it!i will succeed!篇二：大学生英语演讲稿100篇 how to be popular most people would like to be popular with others, but not everyone can achieve this goal.what is the secret to popularity? in fact, it is very simple.the first step is to improve our appearance.we should always make sure that we stay in good shape and dress well.when we are healthy and well-groomed, we will not only look better but also feel better.in addition, we should smile and appear friendly.after all, our facial expression is an important part of our appearance.if we can do this, people will be attracted to our good looks and impressed by our confidence.如何才能受人欢迎
大部分的人都想受人欢迎，但是并非每个人都能达到目标。受欢迎的秘诀何在?事实上是很简单的。步骤一，先改善我们的外表。我们得确保自己很健康，并且穿着体面。当我们既健康又穿戴整齐时，不仅看起来更有精神，自己也会觉得好多了。此外，我们要保持微笑并表现得很友善。毕竟，脸部表情是外观很重要的一环。如果我们能做到这一点，别人会被我们的美好外表所吸引，并对我们的自信印象深刻。
另一个重要步骤，就是培养对别人的体贴。永远以他人为重，并把别人的利益放在自己的利益之前。当个好听众也是很重要的;如此一来，别人才能很自在地对我们吐露心事。然而，不管我们做什么事，绝对不要说闲言闲语。最重要的是，要做自己，不要当虚伪的人。只有对人真诚又尊重时，才能赢得他人的尊敬。如果我们能做到以上几点，我相信受人欢迎是指日可待的事。
learn how to say no weve all been taught that we should help people.it is the right thing to do and will make us popular with others.it may even win us favors in return.however, we must be realistic.we cant say yes to every request.if we did, we would fail or go crazy for sure.sometimes we simply dont have the time to help.in this case, we must know how to say no politely.学习如何说不
我们都被教导说，我们应该要帮助别人。这是应该做的事，而且这样做会使我们受人欢迎。它甚至会为我们赢得一些回报。但是，我们必须要实际一点。我们不能答应每一个要求。如果我们这么做，我们就一定会失败或发疯。有时候我们确实没有时间去帮忙。既然如此，我们就必须知道如何有礼貌地说不。当我们需要说不的时候，有个办法我们可以试试。首先，我们应该要说实话。假如我们真的办不到某件事，我们就应该说不。第二，我们应该记得要客气地拒绝对方的要求。我们必须清楚地表达，但态度也必须真诚并且表示同情。一个真正的朋友会谅解的。最后，我们不必为了说不而觉得有罪恶感。有时候拒绝别人才是我们应该做的事。它可以替我们自己和
别人，都省下许多麻烦。总而言之，我们无法一直取悦每个人。拒绝请求是人生的一部分。how to sell yourself by following the advice above, you are bound to make a good impression on potential employers.then you will be able to choose the best opportunity for you and take that first step towards success.如何自我推销
在这个竞争激烈的社会中，为了得到你想要的工作，知道如何自我推销是很重要的。也就是说，你必须能够销售你最好的特点，并把你最好的一面呈现出来。毕竟，第一印象定江山。
要在面试时表现出好的一面，你可以做几件事情。首先，要看起来像个赢家。穿着保守而体面，会使你看起来像是就要成功了。第二，要能清楚地表达。仔细地考虑每个问题，并据实回答。记得要和对方有目光接触，并保持良好的姿势。你必须看起来专注而自在。第三，态度要积极而有自信。对你的能力有信心，并对你的未来感到乐观是很重要的。最后，要充分准备。递上一份专业的简历，并准备好详细解释每件事。
遵照以上的建议，你就一定会给可能成为你老板的那些人，留下好的印象。然后你就可以选择对你而言最好的机会。并踏出迈向成功的第一步。responsibility is a badge of honour for youth(96年“21世纪杯全国大学生英语演讲比赛”二等奖获得者，北京外国语大学 徐义成)im grateful that ive been given this opportunity, at such a historic moment, to stand here as a spokesman of my generation and to take a serious look back at the past 15 years, a crucial period for every one of us and for this nation as well.though it is only within my power to tell about my personal experience, and only a tiny fragment of it at that, it still represents, i believe, the root of a spirit which has been essential to me and to all the people bred by the past 15 years.in my elementary years, there was a little girl in the class who worked very hard but somehow could never do satisfactorily in her lessons.the teacher asked me to help her, and it was obvious that she expected a lot from me.but as a young boy, restless, thoughtless, i always tried to evade her so as to get more time to enjoy myself.one day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, could you please explain this to me? i want very much to do better this time.i started explaining, and finished in a hurry.pretending not to notice her still confused eyes, i ran off quickly.nat surprisingly, she again did very badly in the exam.and two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of her death of blood cancer.no one ever knew about the little task i failed to fulfill, but i couldnt forgive myself.i simply couldnt forget her eyes, which seem to be asking, why didnt you do a little more to help me, when it was so easy for you? why didnt you understand a little better the trust placed in you, so that i would not have to leave this world in such pain and regret? i was about eight or nine years old at that time, but in a way it was the very starting point of my life, for i began to understand the word responsibility and to learn to always do my duties faithfully and devotedly, for the implications of that sacred word has dawned on me: the mutual need and trust of people, the co-operation and inter-reliance which are the very foundation of human society.later in my life, i continued to experience many failures.but never again did i feel that regret which struck me at the death of the girl, for it makes my heart satisfied to think that i have always done everything in my power to fulfill my responsibilities as best i can.words like inpiduality and creativity are getting more emphasis and more people are rewarded for their hard work and efforts.such is the era in which this generation ,grows and matures.such is the era in which this generation will take over the nation from our fathers and learn to run it.yet in the meantime, many problems still exist.we learn that crimes take place in broad daylight with crowds of people looking on and not assisting.we hear that there are still about 1 million children in this country who cant even afford to go to elementary schools while enormous sums of money are being squandered away on dinner parties and luxury cars.we buy shoddy medicines, or merely worthless junk in the name of medicines, that aggravate, rather than alleviate our diseases since money, many people believe, is the most important thing in the world that must be made, even at the expense of morality and responsibility.such an era, furthermore, demands, that we are a generation with a clear perception of our historical responsibility and an aggressive will to take action and solve the problems.history has long been preparing these qualities in this generation and it is now calling us forward to give testimony to our patriotism and heroism towards this nation and all humanity.standing here now, i think of the past 15 years of my life as an ordinary student.probably ill be an ordinary man for the rest of my life.but this doesnt discourage me any, for i know that with my sense of responsibility and devoted efforts to always strive, for the best, its going to be a meaningful and worthwhile life that i will be living.standing here now, i think of the past 15 years of this nation, which has achieved greatness that inspired millions of people of my age, most of whom will not attain fame or prestige and only a few of whom will be remembered by posterity.but that doesnt discourage us any, because we i cant ever forget that little girl in my class who couldnt had the same opportunities as any of us here to enjoy a wonderful life today and a hopeful world tomorrow.it is the sacred responsibility of this generation to face up to the challenges of the new century and to devote our sweat and blood, our wisdom and passion, to the historic cause of making this nation a greater and happier land for every one of us.we are not going to evade that responsibility.we are going to let people down.and people, far and near, will hear of us.frost will be brought to their backbones and tears to their eyes when our stories are told and retold, so let us go forth, my fellow members of this luckily chosen generation, and meet the new century in victory and glory.责任感——青年人荣誉的标志
站在台上面对大家，我心情十分激动。好像是在参加一次历史性的长征。我们今天面对的远不只一场竞赛或角逐。这是才华出众，生气勃勃的中国青年的一次聚会。我们是青年一代的代表。为迎接新世纪的到来，我们正在从各方面作好准备。
在这一历史时刻，能有机会代表同龄人在此认真地回顾于国于己都至关重要的过去的15年，我感激万分。
尽管只能谈谈个人经历，而且只涉及其中一个小小的片段，但我相信，它仍然折射出对我和在过去15年间一同成长起来的青年人都不可缺少的一种思想基础。我上小学时，班上有位小姑娘，学习非常刻苦而成绩却不尽人意。
老师要我帮助她。看得出，她也寄厚望于我。但我那时还是个小男孩，坐不住，不懂事。我老是me避她。以便有更多时间自己玩。
期末考试前一天，她来求我说“请你给我讲解一下行吗?这次我很想考得好一点。”我开始给她讲解，不一会儿便草草收场，假装没有察觉她迷茫的眼神，一溜烟儿地跑开了。不出所料，这次她又考砸了。两个月后，新学期依始，传来她死于血癌的消息。我没有完成那项小小的任务，无人知晓。但我却不能原谅自己。她的眼睛令我难以忘怀，仿佛在责问我，“你为什么不愿多帮助我呢?这对于你来说，并不费事。你为什么不能理解我对你的信赖，而让我带着痛苦和遗憾离开这个世界?” 我当时才八九岁。但从某种意义上讲，这件事成了我生活的新起点。因为我开始体会到“责任”二字的意义，并尽心尽力地学着完成自己的义务。我也逐渐领会了这个神圣字眼的深刻内含:人与人之间的彼此需要和信任、合作和依赖正是人类社会存在的基础。
之后，我在生活中又经受过多次失败，但那小姑娘之死所引起的懊悔，心里却不曾再现。想到自己做每一件事都能尽职尽责，一种满足之感便油然而生。
此事及类似的多起事件改变了我，完善了我。当我长大成人，我开始领悟周围发生的一切变化。我发现，从某种意义上说，社会跟我一样，正处在一个自我完善的时期。新建筑、新商品、新款式一天一个样。新思维、新信息、新技术层出不穷。即便万里相隔，人们在转瞬之间即可相互交谈。社会竞争越演越烈。
人们越来越强调个性和创造性。越来越多的人因工作努力而受到奖赏。这就是当今的时代，一代新人由成长迈入成熟的时代。这是我们这一代人接替父辈治国安邦的时代。然而，我们也面临很多间题。
据悉，坏人在光天化日之下作恶，周围的群众居然袖手旁观，无动于衷。我还听说，目前我国尚有100万儿童连小学也上不起，而巨额资金却拿去举办奢侈的宴会和购置豪华的轿车。
我们常常买的是劣质药品，或名曰药品实为一文不值的废物，非但不能除病去痛，反而会使
病情加重。在某些人看来，世上金钱最宝贵，只要能赚钱，不惜牺牲道德和责任。
因而，这个时代赋予我们的是更强烈的竞争和效率意识，使我们更善于批判性地思考和创造性地行动。
此外，这个时代要求我们这一代人必须认清自己肩负的历史重任，下定决心，采取行动，解决上述问题。长期以来，历史一直在我们这一代人身上培养着这些品质。现在，历史呼唤我们挺身而出，以实际行动向全民族及全人类证实我们的拳拳爱国之心和大无畏的英雄主义。此刻，我站在讲台上回顾15年来的学生生活。今后的岁月，我很可能平平淡淡地度过。但这丝毫不会让我心灰意冷。因为我知道，凭借强烈的责任感和精益求精的不懈奋斗，我将追求一种有意义的生活，一种不枉此生的生活。
此刻，我站在讲台上回顾过去，15年来祖国取得的巨大成就激励着千千万万的同龄人。我们之中大多数人将与名利和权力无缘。只有极少数人或许会后世留芳。对此我们丝毫也不会在意。因为我们知道，世界在观望，世界在倾听。在这个大量机遇和激烈竟争并存的时代，我们国家究竟去向何方，整个世界都在关注。
我永远不会忘记班上那位小姑娘。她本应该却没能和在座各位一样享受今天美好的人生和明日充满希望的世界。
接受新世纪的挑战，把我们的血汗、智慧和热情奉献给建设祖国、造福人民的伟大历史事业。这就是我们这一代人的神圣职责。
我们决不逃避责任，决不辜负人民的期望。我们的业绩将四海传扬。我们的故事将被反复讲述，定会令人惊叹不已，以至热泪盈眶。
有幸与时代为伍的朋友们，让我们勇往直前，以胜利的姿态迎接光辉灿烂的新世纪的来临!演说者简介】 刘欣(1975一)，南京大学外国语学院英语系学生，在1995年底的校级英语演讲赛中脱颖而出，代表南京大学参加1996年3月22日在北京举行的“21世纪杯全国大学生英语演讲比赛”.以《选择的重要性》为题发表演说，夺得比赛第一名。knowing the consequences of choice over the past spring festival, i got involved in a family dispute.right before i got home, four satellite channels of cctv were added to the 14 channels we had already had.in prime time at night, they all had interesting shows.therefore, the five of us-my parents, my sisters and i-had to argue over what to watch.finally, we agreed that we should watch the most interesting programme...if we could agree what that was.however, all of us there remember that for a long time after we had tv, there were only one or two channels available.the increase in options reveals an important change in our life: the abundance of choice.fifteen years ago we all dressed in one style and in one colour.today, we select from a wide variety of designs and shades.fifteen years ago, we read few newspapers.today, we read english newspapers like the china daily and the 21st century, as well as various chinese newspapers.the emergence of choices marks the beginning of a new era in chinas history;an era of persity, of material and cultural richness, and an era of the rebirth of the chinese nation.篇三：大学生励志英语演讲稿

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 existsin 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 what?s next and the joy of the game of living.in the center of your heart and my heart there?s 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!大学生英语演讲稿八译
青春
青春不是指岁月，而是指心态。粉嫩的脸，红润的唇，矫健的膝并不是青春。青春表现在意志的坚强与懦弱。想象的丰富与苍白、情感的充沛与贫乏等方面。青春是生命深处清泉的喷涌。
青春是追求。只有当勇气盖过怯弱、进取压倒苟安之时，青春才存在。果如此，则60见之长者比20岁之少年更具青春活力。仅仅岁月的流逝并不能使他们衰老。而一旦抛弃理想和信念，则垂垂老也。岁月只能使皮肤起皱。而一旦丧失生活的激情，则连灵魂枯老，使人生枯如死水，毫无活力。60岁长者也好，16岁少年也罢，每个人的内心深处都渴望奇迹，都如孩子一般眨着期待的双眼，期待着下一次，期待着生活的情趣，你我灵魂深处都有一座无线电中转站------只有你我年轻，则总能听到希望的呼唤，总能发出喜悦的欢呼，总能传达勇气的讯号，总能表现出青春的活力„„„
一旦青春的天线倒下，你的灵魂即为玩世不恭之雪、悲观厌世之冰覆盖；即使你年方 20.其实你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天线高高耸起，就可以随时接收到乐观的电波-----即使你年过八旬，行将就木，而你却仍然拥有青春，你仍然年轻。
第五篇：励志英语小演讲
小学生英语励志演讲稿 i love english dear teacher and classmates: i am very glad to make a speech here in this class again!this time, id like to talk something about english.when i was seven, my mother sent me to an english school.at there, i played games and sang english songs with other children.then i discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the english world.everyday, i read english following the tapes.sometimes, i watch english cartoons.on the weekend, i often go to the english corner.by talking with different people there, i have made more and more friends as well as improved my oral english.i hope i can travel around the world someday.i want to go to america to visit washington monument, because the president washington is my idol.of course, i want to go to london too, because england is where english language developed.if i can ride my bike in cambridge university, i will be very happy.i hope i can speak english with everyone in the world.ill introduce china to them, such as the great wall, the forbidden city and anshan.i know, rome was not built in a day.i believe that after continuous hard study, one day i can speak english very well.if you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable.so i believe as i love english everyday , it will love me too.让感恩永存心间
“感恩的心，感谢有你，伴我一生，让我有勇气做我自己。”有人说，感恩是人的天性。当我们偶然来到这个世界上，什么都还没来得及做的时候，我们就已经开始享受前人带给我们物质和精神上的一切成果了。这就提醒着我们每一个人，要怀有一颗感恩的心。感恩的心让所有的人知道感恩，但是，有很多人却并不会感恩。许多自私的人只知道一味索取。
有一位母亲，含辛茹苦地抚养大一个儿子，但儿子却迷上了一个美丽妖娆的女子，不能自拔。有一天，这个女子对他说：“我需要一颗富有爱的心滋补我，你如果爱我，就把你母亲的心带来给我。”当晚男子就捧着他母亲的心赶往女子那里。这可是生他养他的母亲的心啊。他穿过森林时，不慎被树枝绊倒，当他爬起来跑过去捧起那颗心时，一个充满温柔且心疼的声音响起：“儿啊！你摔疼了吗？”此时，男子才醒悟，他抱着母亲的心痛苦不堪。
失去了，才懂得珍惜，这不是无知而是极大的不孝！父母是最疼我们的人啊，心能随意的挖吗？若是我们哪怕有一丝的不舒服，何止是心，父母愿意为我们付出一切！他们宁可是自己生病，自己承受痛苦，他们希望的只是儿女们平安、长大成人——
心中有感恩的你们，真的愿意父母为了自己而失去生命吗？姥姥去世的时侯，妈妈的一句话让我真真切切地知道什么失去，什么是遗憾，她说：“世界上最疼我的人不在了。”
所以，请不要再盲目了，从现在开始，让感恩永存心间，让生命充满爱，不要让爱留有遗憾。我的朋友们，让我们怀着感恩的心面向世界吧！让我们怀着感恩的心对待我们的生活吧！只要我们对生活充满感恩之心，充满希望与热情，我们的精神家园将永远年轻?? 最后，让我们一起再来静静地聆听这首《感恩的心》吧：感恩的心，感谢有你，伴我一生，让我有勇气做我自己，感恩的心，感谢命运，花开花落，我一样珍惜。篇二：英语青春励志英语演讲稿
青春励志英语演讲稿 saying goodbye to childhood,we step into another important time in the pace of young,facing new situations,dealing with different problems.....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 time pass by.我与祖国英语演讲稿精彩段落抢先看 eight glorious disgrace socialisms honour or disgrace observes eight brought forward by secretary general hu jin tao: take pride in having ardent love for the motherland , take endangering a motherland as disgrace, take pride in serving the people , take deviating from the people as disgrace, take pride in science-upholding, use benighted be disgrace , take pride in labouring assiduously , take disliking work and loving ease as disgrace, take pride in unity and mutual aid , take benefiting oneself at other peoples cost as disgrace, take pride in honesty and trustworthiness , take forgotting friendship for profit as disgrace, take pride in observing the relevant code of conduct and the law , take being guilty of dereliction or serious violation of discipline as disgrace , take pride in waging an arduous struggle , take loose and idle living as disgrace.this 16 words, have made me accept very big education.our great motherland is one of the largest countries in the world.it has a population of over twelve hundred million.beijing is its capital.we chinese people are brave and hardworking.we have a glorious revolutionary tradition.we drove out all the enemies.in 1949 the peoples republic of china was founded.since then great changes have taken place in our motherland.now our country is getting stronger and stronger.we chinese people are working hard to make our motherland into a powerful country.children are regarded as “flower of our motherland”.in our country children are taken very good care of.special laws have been issuedto protect them.thousands of schools have been set up to make education available to all children.the party and the government pay special attention to the growth of children because they represent our bright future.motherlands destiny is just that everyone chineses destiny , development of motherland and need to depend on our every chinese sons and daughterss contribution prosperous and powerful and struggle.but we ought to be missing me at any time for the motherland makes some what, is not what, has ardent love for the motherland from asking for some motherland mother there being able to depend on a meaningless term only by no means.as one middle school student , one league member of the development of motherland makes self out.eight glorious disgrace socialisms honour or disgrace observes eight brought forward by secretary general hu jin tao: take pride in having ardent love for the motherland , take endangering a motherland as disgrace, take pride in serving the people , take deviating from the people as disgrace, take pride in science-upholding, use benighted be disgrace , take pride in labouring assiduously , take disliking work and loving ease as disgrace, take pride in unity and mutual aid , take benefiting oneself at other peoples cost as disgrace, take pride in honesty and trustworthiness , take forgotting friendship for profit as disgrace, take pride in observing the relevant code of conduct and the law , take being guilty of dereliction or serious violation of discipline as disgrace , take pride in waging an arduous struggle , take loose and idle living as disgrace.this 16 words, have made me accept very big education.to have ardent love for the motherland for glory among them , takes betraying selfs country as disgrace.be every chineses minimum morality base line , associate with person, look at how the parents , relative ought to look at him treating self, show filial obedience to or not , whom he can love if one people even not are apt self parents , relative? china has age-old history , splendid culture., eaving nothing of significance.篇三：英语演讲稿(带翻译)_励志·哲理 we are the world ,we are the future someone 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 young.“how to spend the youth?” it is a meaningful question.to 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.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.where is our future? where is our love, career, and life?.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 happened.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’t mean you don’t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way.failure doesn’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。”我不知道谁写了这些话，但是我一直很喜欢它，因为它提醒了我，我们能够创造我们想要的未来。
我们是年轻的。“怎样度过青春？”这是个有意义的问题。为了去回答它，我首先要问“从?青春?这个词中你能理解到什么？” 青春不是人生的一个时期，而是精神的一种状态。青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志。青春是生命的深泉在涌流.一位诗人说“从一粒沙看世界，从一朵花看天堂，把无限放在你的手掌，永恒在一刹那里收藏”。让我们伸出右手，我们可以看到手掌中的展示我们的爱，事业和生活的三条线。我在生活方面这条线很短，那你们的呢？我想知道我们是否可以用这种办法去看我们的未来。好的，让我们一起握拳。我们的未来在哪儿？我们的爱、事业和生活在哪儿？告诉我！是的，它们就在我们的手中。它们被我们自己掌握着。
我们所有人都希望未来能比过去更美好，但是未来能自己变得更好。不要因为结束而哭泣，微笑吧，为你的曾经拥有。从过去来看，生活是艰苦的，但我们是更坚强。我们知道我们不能选择感觉，但是我们能选择和它相关的东西。失败并不意味着你不拥有成功，它只意味着你应该用另一种方式去做这件事。失败并不意味着你应该放弃，只意味着你应该更加努力。
正如我在前面所说的“我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。”过去的已经过去，无论我们无力改变，但是未来却在我们前方。相信“我们给了世界什么，世界也将给我们”。并且从今天起，让我们一起做我们自己的主人，一起大声说出“世界是我们的，未来是我们的。”篇四：英语励志演讲 85.this is dave arringdale whos actually been a longtime guest at vivians motel.这也是为什么大卫.亚玲达尔变成来薇薇安的旅馆的常客的原因。he stayed there a hundred times in the last 20 years, 他在那里呆了数百次在近20年中
and hes loyal to the property because of the relationship that vivian and her fellow employees have created with him.他对这个旅馆的忠诚来自于这层关系。薇薇安和她的同事所创造的与他的这层关系，theyve created a habitat of happiness for dave.he tells me that he can always count on vivian and the staff there to make him feel at home.他们创造了一个快乐的栖息地给大卫。他告诉我他总是可以依赖于薇薇安和那里的所有员工他们让他感受到了家的感觉。
why is it that business leaders and investors quite 为什么企业领袖、投资者 often dont see the connection between creating the intangible of employee happiness with creating the tangible of financial profits in their business? 通常看不到这层关系创造的不可触摸的员工们的快乐以及商业中的财政利润？ we dont have to choose between inspired employees and sizable profits, we can have both.in fact, inspired employees quite often help make sizable profits, right? 我们并不一定要从中选择或是有受激励的员工或巨大的经济利润。我们可以同时拥有这两者事实上，受到鼓舞的员工，很多时候对获得巨大的利润很有帮助 so what the world needs now, in my opinion, is business leaders and political leaders who know what to count.所有，当今我们所需要的，我的观点是商界领袖和政界领袖，那些知道去衡量些什么的人。we count numbers.we count on people.what really counts is when we actually use our numbers to truly take into account our people.我们计算数字，我们依靠人，我们真正看重的是当我们可以用数字去真正使我们的顾客收益。i learned that from a maid in a motel and a king of a country.what can you start counting today? 我从一个汽车旅馆的女仆和一个国家的国王那里学到了这个道理。什么是你从今天开始就计算的呢？ what one thing can you start counting today that actually would be meaningful in your life, whether its your work life or your business life? 有一样东西，你今天就可以开始计算会使你一生受用，不管这是为你的工作，还是为了你的生意 thank you very much.非常感谢。weve been fooled by our tool.excuse that expression.weve been fooled by our tool.gdp has been our hammer.“我们被我们的工具所愚弄。这个表述或许不恰当，我们被我们的工具所愚弄gdp就像是我们的锤子。and our nail has been a 19th-and 20th-century industrial-era model of success.我们的钉子是从19世纪到20世纪的工业时代的成功模型。and yet, 64 percent of the worlds gdp today is in that intangible industry we call service, the service industry, the industry im in.可是，当今世界百分之六十四的gdp是来自于不可见的，称之为服务业的行业服务业，我所在的行业。and only 36 percent is in the tangible industries of manufacturing and agriculture.只有百分之三十六来自于可见的行业，制造业和农业。so maybe its time that we get a bigger toolbox, right? maybe its time we get a toolbox that doesnt just count whats easily counted, 所以是时候我们换一个大一点的工具盒了，对吧。或者是时候我们事实上需要一个工具盒并不只能量那些很容易被量的，the tangible in life, but actually counts what we most value, the things that are intangible.在生活中具体的、可以的触摸的东西，事实上能够量度那些我们最重视的那些不可度量的东西。i guess im sort of a curious ceo.i was also a curious economics major as an undergrad.我想我是个有好奇心的ceo。我过去也只是个对充满好奇心的经济学专业本科生。
i learned that economists measure everything in tangible units of production and consumption as if each of those tangible units is exactly the same.我学到了经济学衡量一切可以具体化的单位生产和消费，好像那些可以被具体化的单位是完全等同的一样。they arent the same.in fact, as leaders, what we need to learn 他们是不一样的事实上，作为领导者，我们需要了解的 is that we can influence the quality of that unit of production by creating the conditions for our employees to live their calling.是我们其实可以影响每个单位产量的质量通过从实际中创造条件给我们的员工去找到他们的价值。in vivians case, her unit of production isnt the tangible hours she works, its the intangible difference she makes during that one hour of work.从薇薇安的例子中，她的单位产量并不是可以计算的她工作的每个小时而是她所做到的那些不可触摸的区别在那一小时的工作中。（86）85 ive taken that robert kennedy quote, and ive turned it into a new balance sheet for just a moment here.我也曾经用过罗伯特肯尼迪的这句话，我也曾经把它转变成一种新的衡量收支平衡的办法。this is a collection of things that robert kennedy said in that quote.这实际上是事物的一种结合，罗伯特肯尼迪在他的gdp gdp counts everything from air pollution to the destruction of our redwoods.可以计算空气污染红木的污染 but it doesnt count the health of our children or the integrity of our public officials.as you look at these two columns here, 但它并没儿童的健康考虑在内，没把公务员的正直程度考虑在内。当你看在这两栏的时候，doesnt it make you feel like its time for us to start figuring out a new way to count, a new way to imagine whats important to us in life? 难道你不觉得这正是我们应该开始从新创造一种新的方式去衡量么一种方式去真正地想象什么才是生活中最重要的东西？ certainly robert kennedy suggested at the end of the speech exactly that.he said gdp measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile.诚然，罗伯特肯尼迪在他的演讲的末尾提出了完全一致的号召。他说，gdp计算了一切短暂的东西而没有包涵那些使生命变得有价值的东西哇。wow.so how do we do that? let me say one thing we can just start doing ten years from now, at least in this country.那么我们怎么办呢？在我们开始这么做之前，让我先告诉大家一件事两年前的今天，至少是在这个国家，why in the heck in america are we doing a census in 2010? were spending 10 billion dollars on the census.为什么在美国我们做了2010年的人口普查我们花了10亿美元。were asking 10 simple questions--it is simplicity.but all of those questions are tangible.在这个人口普查上面我们只是问了10个非常简单的问题。但是所有的这些问题都是可以触摸的。theyre about demographics.theyre about where you live, how many people you live with, and whether you own your home or not.他们都是关于人口统计学特征的他们是关于你在哪里居住，你和多少人一起住还有你是否拥有你所居住的房子。thats about it.were not asking meaningful metrics.were not asking important questions.were not asking anything thats intangible.也就是这些我们并不被问及有意义的度量我们并不被问及重要的问题我们没有问及任何不可见的事物。abe maslow said long ago something youve heard before, but you didnt realize it was him.he said, if the only tool you have is a hammer, 马斯洛很久以前说过的一些我们以前听说过的，但是你以前并不意识到是他说的他说，“手里拿着个锤子 everything starts to look like a nail.看什么都像是钉子。84 the reality is, in western countries, quite often we do focus on the pursuit of happiness as if happiness is something that we have to go out--事实上是，在西方国家，通常我们注重对快乐的追求 an object that were supposed to get, or maybe many objects.actually, 正如快乐是一种我们必须非常从外部才能得到的一种我们我们理应得到的东西，和很多其他的东西一样
in fact, if you look in the dictionary, many dictionaries define pursuit as to chase with hostility.而事实上，如果你查查字典看一下的话，许多字典把这种追求定义为“带着敌意的追逐”。do we pursue happiness with hostility? good question.but back to bhutan.我们是带着对抗的情绪追求快乐的么？问的好。再回到不丹。bhutans bordered on its north and south by 38 percent of the worlds population.实际上，在不丹南边和北边的边境生存着这个世界百分之38的人口。could this little country, like a startup in a mature industry, be the spark plug that influences a 21st century of middle-class in china and india? 这个小国在一个成熟的工业社会中刚刚起步，就放出万丈光芒，影响了整个二十一世纪的中国和印度的中产阶级？ bhutans created the ultimate export, a new global currency of well-being, 不丹实际上创造了一种终极的输出，一种新的全球通用的福祉。and there are 40 countries around the world today that are studying their own gnh.这个世界上有40个国家正在研究他们自己的gnh。you may have heard, this last fall nicolas sarkozy in france announcing the results of an 18-month study by two nobel economists, 你也许听过，去年的秋天法国的尼古拉·萨科齐，宣布了获得了诺贝尔奖的经济学家一项18个月研究的研究结果，focusing on happiness and wellness in france.sarkozy suggested that world leaders should stop myopically focusing on gdp and consider a new index, 这项研究关注于法国的快乐和幸福。萨科奇提出世界的领导人应该停止目光短浅地只关注gdp关注一种新的指数，what some french are calling a joie de vivre index.i like it.co-branding opportunities.法国人称之为“幸福指数”我喜欢这个提法。一个品牌合作的机会。just three days ago, three days ago here at ted, we had a simulcast of david cameron, potentially the next prime minister of the uk, 就在三天前，在我来的ted的三天前，我们和大卫.喀麦隆有一个同时联播节目，他可能是下任英国首相，quoting one of my favorite speeches of all-time, 引用了一个我最爱的一句演讲，robert kennedys poetic speech from 1968 when he suggested that were myopically focused on the wrong thing and that gdp is a misplaced metric.罗伯特肯尼迪在1968年的诗歌演讲当时他提出我们只把目光放在那些错误的事情上gdp是一个错位的度量标准。so it suggests that the momentum is shifting.这预示着动机发生了转变。83 we create the conditions for happiness to occur.in other words, we create a habitat of happiness.我们创造那些让快乐能够存在的条件。也就是说，我们创造了快乐的栖息地。” wow, thats interesting.he said that they have a science behind that art, and theyve actually created four essential pillars, 哇，这真是有趣。而且他说他们在这种艺术的背后有一种科学他们实际上创造了四个重要的支柱，nine key indicators and 72 different metrics that help them to measure their gnh.one of those key indicators is: 9个核心指标和72个不同的度量标准这些能够帮助测量gnh。实际上，其中一个核心指标是 how do the bhutanese feel about how they spend their time each day? its a good question.如何让不丹人感觉到他们是如何度过他们的每一天的呢？这是一个不错的问题。how do you feel about how you spend your time each day? time is one of the scarcest resources in the modern world.如何感觉你的每一天是如何度过的呢？在现代社会社会中，时间是一种最稀缺的资源。and yet, of course, that little intangible piece of data doesnt factor into our gdp calculations.可是，诚然这微小的不可见的数据并不影响我们对gdp的计算。as i spent my week up in the himalayas, i started to imagine what i call an emotional equation.所以当我把时间花在喜马拉雅山脉的时候，我开始想象我所谓的一种情感方程式。and it focuses on something i read long ago from a guy named rabbi hyman schachtel.how many know him? anybody? 这是很久以前我从拉比.海曼.斯佳特尔读到的。有多少人知道他？有人知道么？ 1954, he wrote a book called the real enjoyment of living, and he suggested that happiness is not about having what you want;在1954年，他写过一本书，叫做《生活的真正乐趣》他提出快乐并不在于得到你所想要的。instead, its about wanting what you have.or in other words, i think the bhutanese believe happiness equals wanting what you have--而在于你想往你所拥有的。也就是说，我认为不丹人相信快乐等同于想往你所拥有的东西 imagine gratitude--pided by having what you want--gratification.想象一下感恩分割成拥有你所想要的东西满足感。the bhutanese arent on some aspirational treadmill, constantly focused on what they dont have.不丹人的志趣不至于一些有抱负但枯燥无趣的工作上持续关注与那些他们没有的事物。their religion, their isolation, their deep respect for their culture 他们的宗教，他们的与世隔离，and now the principles of their gnh movement all have fostered a sense of gratitude about what they do have.他们深深的对自己文化的尊重以及现在gnh运动的原则，这所有的一切都培养了一种对他们所拥有的感恩的情结。how many of us here, as tedsters in the audience, spend more of our time in the bottom half of this equation, in the denominator? 我们之中有多少人，作为ted的拥护者，把更多的时间花在这个方程式的底端，分母上呢？ we are a bottom-heavy culture in more ways than one.我们总是一种底端受重文化所逼迫在很多方面都是如此。82 why dont we care more about gross national happiness? now, in essence, the king was asking us to consider an alternative definition of success, 为什么我们不多关注一下一个国家国民的快乐呢？”现在，从本质上来说，这位国王是在让我们去考虑对成功的另外一种定义这是就是gnh, most world leaders didnt take notice, and those that did thought this was just buddhist economics.这个世界上的多少领导者对此并不关心那些有考虑过这些的人认为这些只是“佛教经济学” but the king was serious.this was a notable moment, because this was the first time a world leader in almost 200 years had suggested that intangible of happiness--但是那位国王是认真的这其实是一个值得关注的时刻，因为这是近两百年来第一次有一个世界的领导者提出这种不可见的快乐 that leader 200 years ago, thomas jefferson with the declaration of independence--——再次提出，200年前汤马斯.杰佛逊在他的独立宣言中 200 years later, this king was suggesting that intangible of happiness is something that we should measure, 200年之后这位国王提出了这种无形的快乐是我们应该衡量的，and its something we should actually value as government officials.也是作为政府领导人真正应该重视的。for the next three dozen years as king, this king actually started measuring and managing around happiness in bhutan--在接下来他当国王的36年中，这位国王甚至开始衡量和管理不丹的快乐。including, just recently, taking his country from being an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy with no bloodshed, no coup.也包括最近，把这个国家从一个完全的君主专政政体转变为了一个君主立宪政体没有流血，没有屠杀。bhutan, for those of you who dont know it, is the newest democracy in the world, just two years ago.不丹，对那些不了解这个国家的人来说是一个新型的民主政体，仅仅始于两年前。so as i spent time with leaders in the gnh movement, i got to really understand what theyre doing.所以当我与这些提倡国民幸福总值运动的领袖们交流，我才逐渐明白他们在做些什么。and i got to spend some time with the prime minister.over dinner, i asked him an impertinent question.当我与这位总理相处时，在一次晚饭时，我问了他一个毫不相干的问题。i asked him, how can you create and measure something which evaporates--in other words, happiness? 我问他，”你是怎样创造和度量一些空泛易蒸发的东西，换句话来说，快乐？
and hes a very wise man, and he said, listen, bhutans goal is not to create happiness.“他是充满智慧的人，他回答说：“佛祖的目的并不是去创造快乐。81 so as leaders, we understand that intangibles are important, but we dont have a clue how to measure them.所以我们作为领袖，我们明白无形资产的重要性，但是如何实际的去衡量它们，我们没有什么头绪。so heres another einstein quote: not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.在此我想引用爱因斯坦的一句话：不是所有有价值的都能被计算，并且，不是所有能计算的都有价值。i hate to argue with einstein, but if that which is most valuable in our life and our business actually cant be counted or valued, 我并不想与爱因斯坦争论，但是如果那些在我们生命和商业中最有价值的实际上并不能被计数或估价，arent we going to spend our lives just mired in measuring the mundane? 我们是否要让我们的一生深陷于衡量那些平淡和不重要的事情呢？ it was that sort of heady question about what counts that led me to take my ceo hat off for a week and fly off to the himalayan peaks.正是这类关于什么才有价值的难题使我撇下ceo的身份在一星期内飞向喜马拉雅山脉的顶端。i flew off to a place thats been shrouded in mystery for centuries, a place some folks call shangri-la.我飞向了一个几个世纪以来一直充满了无限迷团的地方，一个叫做香格里拉的地方。i went to bhutan.the teenage king of bhutan was also a curious man, but this was back in 1972, 我去了不丹那个年轻的国王也是个有好奇心的人，但这要回到1972年，when he ascended to the throne two days after his father passed away.at age 17, 他在他父亲去世两天后登上国王的宝座。在他17 岁的时，he started asking the kinds of questions that youd expect of someone with a beginners mind.他开始问这样一些问题：一些你也许认为幼稚的问题。on a trip through india, early in his reign as king, he was asked by an indian journalist about the bhutanese gdp, the size of the bhutanese gdp.在去印度的旅途中，在他称帝的早期，他被一个印度记者问到关于不丹的gdp，不丹gdp的大小的问题。the king responded in a fashion that actually has transformed us four decades later.he said the following, he said: 这位国王的回答方式在四十年之后的今天仍然让我们受益匪浅。他这样说： why are we so obsessed and focused with gross domestic product? “我们为什么要如此痴迷于国内生产总值呢？ 80 so we started asking ourselves: what kind of less obvious metrics could we use to actually evaluate our employees sense of meaning, 因此我们开始自问：什么样的不明显的衡量标准能被我们用来评估我们的雇员的归属感，or our customers sense of emotional connection with us? 或我们的客户与我们公司的情感维系程度？ and do they feel like they believe in it, can they actually influence it, 他们是否对此表示认同，他们能否确实的影响到它，and do they feel that their work actually has an impact on it? we started asking our customers, 他们能否感到他们的工作能够实实在在地实现着为这些目标。我们开始问我们的客户，did they feel an emotional connection with us, in one of seven different kinds of ways.问他们是否感觉到与我们之间的情感联系，七种不同情感联系方式之一。miraculously, as we asked these questions and started giving attention higher up the pyramid, what we found is we created more loyalty.出乎意料的是，当我们问这些问题，并开始关注我们的金字塔顶端的更高层次需求时，我们发现我们我们拥有了更多的忠诚。our customer loyalty skyrocketed.our employee turnover dropped to one-third of the industry average, 我们客户的忠诚度暴涨。我们的员工离职率降至酒店行业平均职工流动率的三分之一。as i went out and started spending time with other leaders out there and asking them how they were getting through that time, 现在，我走出来，花时间与其他领导者交流问他们是如何度过这个困难时期的时候，what they told me over and over again was that they just manage what they can measure.他们一次又一次的告诉我他们只是管理那些他们可以衡量的东西，what we can measure is that tangible stuff at the bottom of the pyramid.they didnt even see the intangible stuff higher up the pyramid.而那些位于金字塔底部可以衡量的有形的东西。他们甚至不看金字塔中更高层的那些无形的东西。so i started asking myself the question: how can we get leaders to start valuing the intangible? 所以我开始问自己：如何我们才能让领导者开始重视无形的的东西？ if were taught as leaders to just manage what we can measure, and all we can measure is the tangible in life, 如果领导者们只是被教育去管理那些可以衡量的，并且所有我们所能衡量的是生命中有形的东西，were missing a whole lot of things at the top of the pyramid.我们就失去了位于金字塔顶部的整个部分。so i went out and studied a bunch of things, and i found a survey 所以我又去学习一些事情。我发现在一份报告，that showed that 94 percent of business leaders worldwide believe that the intangibles are important in their business, 其中显示世界上百分之九十四的商业领袖相信无形资产对于他们企业至关重要，things like intellectual property, their corporate culture, their brand loyalty, 例如知识产权、企业文化、品牌忠诚度等。and yet,only five percent of those same leaders actually had a means of measuring the intangibles in their business.然而这些领袖中只有5%的人有办法衡量这些在企业中的无形资产.79 i took one psychology class in college, and i learned about this guy, abraham maslow, as many of us are familiar with his hierarchy of needs.我在大学里上过一门心理学的课程，正如你们很多人一样，我从亚伯拉罕.马斯洛那儿学到了“需求层次理论”。
