i have a dream today
i have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. wow, what a dream it has been for martin luther king. but the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their
dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes i personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.
however, we need dreams. they nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. they keep us going. most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. when we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant. now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality. however, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. well, just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. don‘t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.
敬爱的老师，亲爱的同学们，
大家好!我是七年级十班的梁国杰，今天我演讲的题目是《演绎最精彩的魅力文明---孝》
百川赴海返潮易，一叶报秋归树难。
百善孝为先，孝乃人之本。孝亲敬老是中华民族的传统美德，家家有老当重孝。在历史的舞台上，孝总是演绎着最精彩的角色，多少故事已成为今日的千古美谈。
孝，写在纸上是几笔墨影，但在生活中是一件简单却难以做得到的事情。
无论你身在天涯还是海角，有一些人，他们总是占据你内心的黄金位置。“慈母手中线，游子身上衣”这是他们的真实写照。他们就是你的父母。在一生中，他们的关爱是最无私的。孩提时代，总是在母亲的故事声中才能酣然入睡，总是在父亲坚实的臂弯下蹒跚学步，总是在老双亲的呵护中茁壮成长。但你可曾想过生病时，父母为你熬过多少个不眠之夜，你可曾想他们鬓角的青丝为谁而生。但是，或许你还不知道他们的手机号码，甚至不知道他们的年龄和生日。蓦然回首，从前的我们知道些什么?只知道调皮和叛逆。
面对父母的爱，能够当之无愧地说我消受得起的人简直是子虚乌有。在父母加班加点工作时，看看我们在做些什么?上课睡觉、疯狂的玩游戏、逃学、旷课，甚至是把烟头一弹，轻描淡写的说一声无所谓!我们没有顾及他们的感受，只是昧着自己的良心去干一些愚昧的傻事，傻傻地以为逃过了心灵的那一劫。其实我们错了，这内心的谴责是无法逃脱的。我们总是无休止的消耗着自己的青春热血谱写他们脸上的道道皱纹。也许某一天，我们自己当父母时才能感受到他们那暗地里的辛酸。
其实回报父母之恩，不需要惊天动地。历史的长河中，木兰替父从军，王祥卧冰求鲤、羔羊跪乳、乌鸦反哺……一件件小事，足以让他们的心中暖融融的。当父母年老时，牵着他们的手去赏夕阳美景;在他们生病时，做到“亲有疾，药先尝，昼夜侍，不离床”。但是，虽然报恩简单，却要我们用一生一世去持续。
古时候，有一个叫王祥的小孩子，他的生母去世了，父亲再娶了一个妻子，就是王祥的后母。后母不喜欢王祥，可是，王祥很听后母的话，后母叫他做的事，他都尽力做好。
一个寒冷的冬日，后母生了病，想吃活鱼，要王祥到河捉鱼。天下着大雪，北风呼呼地吹着，河水早已结冰，哪有鱼呢?
王祥想：我可以用体温使冰块溶化啊!他脱掉衣服，卧在冰上，刺骨的寒冰冷得他牙关打颤，全身颤抖，但他仍然强忍着、忍着……突然间，他身体下的冰块裂开了，两条鲤鱼跳了上来。王祥大喜，抱着鲤鱼飞奔回家，煮鱼汤给后母吃。
对于没有血缘关系的继母，一个小孩子却能为之付出这么多，在当今这个法制社会里，孝亲敬老真的很难吗?
其实非也。孝在一句关心的话语中。“身体好些了吗”最朴实的话语却令他们感动。孝在一只手上，搀扶他们便是温暖。
同学们，怀着一颗感恩的心，去看待社会，怀着一颗孝顺的心，去看待父母，，你将会发现自己是多么快乐，放开你的胸怀，让绵绵细雨洗刷你心灵的的污浊。学会孝顺，学会感恩，这会使世界更美好，使生活更加充实。
我的演讲完毕，谢谢大家!
good morning, everyone:
my name is , a lovely boy of thirteen. i’m very glad to stand here and share my dream with you.
different people have different dreams. some people dream of being rich or famous and others dream of staying young for long. i also have a lot of dreams. but my dream is to become a lawyer.
if i were a lawyer in the future, i would serve our country first because from tv, i learn the japanese seize our country’s islands. i can’t stand it when they even say these islands are theirs. so, i feel strongly that i must study hard and get back diaoyu islands by law when i grow up.
if i were a lawyer in the future, i would serve people heart and soul. i would offer free help for people in need.
if i were a lawyer in the future, i would let people live a happier life. of course, i know it’s difficult for me to achieve my dream now, but i’ll make it by my hard working. come on. just do it!
that’s all. thanks for all your listening!
i don’t know what that dream is that you have, i don’t care how disappointing it might have been as you’ve been working toward that dream, but that dream that you’re holding in your mind, that it’s possible!
some of you already know, that it’s hard, it’s not easy, it’s hard changing your life. that in the process of working on your dreams you are going to incur a lot of disappointment, a lot of failure, a lot of pain. there are moments that you are going to doubt yourself. you said, god why is this happening to me? i’m just trying to take care of my family, trying to give them a good life, i’m not trying to steal or rob from anybody. why does this have to happen to me. for those of you that have experienced some hardships – don’t give up on your dream.
the rough times are gonna come, but they have not come to stay, they have come to pass. greatness, is not this wonderful, esoteric, illusive, god like feature that only the special among can achieve. it’s something that truly exists, in all of us. it’s very important for you to believe that you are the one!
most people they raise a family, they earn a living and then they die. they stop growing, they stop working on themselves, they stop stretching, the stop pushing themselves. then a lot of people like to complain but they don’t wanna do anything about their situation. and most people don’t work on their dreams – why?
The first door I see is the opportunity to study different kinds of subjects that interest us. My aunt said she was happy to study management, but she was also happy that she could attend lectures on ancient Chinese poetry and on Shakespearean drama. As for myself, I am an English major, but I may also go to lectures on history. To me, if college education in the past emphasized specialization, now, it emphasizes free and well-rounded development of each individual. So all the fine achievements of human civilization are open to us.
The second door is the door to the outside world. Learning goes beyond classrooms and national boundaries. My aunt remembers her previous college days as monotonous and even calls her generation “frogs in a well.” But today, as the world becomes a global village, it is important that our neighbors and we be open-minded to learn with and from each other. I have many fellow international classmates, and I am applying to an exchange program with a university abroad. As for my aunt, she is planning to get an MBA degree in the United Kingdom where her daughter, my cousin, is now doing her master's degree in biochemistry. We are now taking the opportunity to study overseas, and when we come back, we'll put to use what we have learnt abroad.
