青春是飞动英语演讲稿（精选4篇）
"We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite..."
I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it. We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just as a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.
We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.
I want the future to be better than the past. I don’t want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder of our lives.
The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will affect it. Each day brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our business, if we only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.
To a large degree, the measure of our peace of mind is determined by howmuch we are able to live on the present moment. Irrespective of what happenedyesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the presentmoment is where you are -- always!
Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spendingmuch of our lives worrying about variety of things -- all at once. We allow pastproblems and future concerns to dominate your present moments, so much so thatwe end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless. On the flip side, wealso postpone our gratification, our stated priorities, and our happiness, oftenconvincing ourselves that "someday" will be much better than today.Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the futurewill only repeat themselves so that 'someday' never actually arrives. JohnLennone once said, "Life is what is happening while we are busy making otherplans." When we are busy making 'other plans', our children are busy growing up,the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out ofshape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.
Many people lives as if life is a dress rehearsal for some later date. Itisn't. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Nowis the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. Whenour attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is theconcern over events that might happen in the future -- we won't have enoughhmoney, our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die,whatever.
To combat fear, the best stradegy is to learn to bring your attention backto the present. Mark Twain said,"I have been through some terrible things inlife, some of which actually happened." I don't think I can say it any better.Practice keeping your attention on the here and now. Your effort will pay greatdividends.

我们内心是否平和在很大程度上是由我们是否能生活在现实之中所决定的.不管昨天或去年发生了什么，不管明天可能发生或不发生什么，现实才是你时时刻刻所在之处。
毫无疑问，我们很多人掌握了一种神经兮兮的艺术，即把生活中的大部分时间花在为种.种事情担心忧虑上--而且常常是同时忧虑许多事情.
我们听凭过去的麻烦和未来的担心控制我们此时此刻的生活，以至我们整日焦虑不安，委靡不振，甚至沮丧绝望.而另一方面我们又推迟我们的满足感，推迟我们应优先考虑的事情，推迟我们的幸福感，常常说服自己“有朝一日”会比今天更好.不幸的是，如此告戒我们朝前看的大脑动力只能重复来重复去，以至“有朝一日”不会真的来临.约翰.列侬曾经说过：“生活就是当我们忙于制定别的计划时发生的事.”当我们忙于指定种.种"别的计划"时，我们的孩子在忙于长大，我们挚爱的人离去了甚至快去世了，我们的体型变样了，而我们的梦想也在消然溜走了.一句话，我们错过了生活。
许多人的生活好象是某个未来日子的彩排，并非如此。事实上，没人能保证他或她肯定还活着。现在是我们所拥有的唯一时间，现在也是我们能控制的唯一的时间。当我们将注意力放在此时此刻时，我们就将恐惧置于脑后。恐惧就是我们担忧某些事情会在未来发生--我们不讳有足够的钱，我们的孩子会惹上麻烦，我们会变老，会死去，诸如此类。
若要克服恐惧心理，最佳策略是学会将你的注意力拉回此时此刻。马克.吐温说过：“我经历过生活中一些可怕的事情，有些的确发生过。”我想我说不出比这更具内涵的话。经常将注意力集中于此情此景，此时此刻，你的努力终会有丰厚的报偿。

College is the very amazing stage for students, they have gone through the hard time and finally come to their dream place. In this beautiful age, students are young and full of energy, their color of youth should be red, which means active.
