Development and the Environment
It is undeniable that the worsening environment has become the biggest concern of the present-day world. Land resources are dwindling because of water loss and soil erosion. Waste gases poison the air we breathe. The rivers and lakes are polluted by waste dumped in them from factories. It is probably no exaggeration to say that deterioration of the quality of the environment threatens the existence of mankind itself.
Some people are of the opinion that the environmental problem is the price we have to pay for economic development. But I do not think that this argument is valid. After all, what is the point of economic growth if people's lives are adversely alfected by worsening environmental pollution?
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
There is plenty of evidence to show that sustainable development can be achieved by balancing economic growth with protection of the environment. The key to achieving this is to make people aware of the seriousness of the problem. Both governments and ordinary citizens should join hands to make this world a better place to live in, not only for ourselves, but also for future generations.
now if all this is true, then why are we getting it so wrong? why are we setting up our schools this way and our workplaces? and why are we making these introverts feel so guilty about wanting to just go off by themselves some of the time? one answer lies deep in our cultural history. western societies, and in particular the u.s., have always favored the man of action over the man of contemplation and “man“ of contemplation. but in america's early days, we lived in what historians call a culture of character, where we still, at that point, valued people for their inner selves and their moral rectitude. and if you look at the self-help books from this era, they all had titles with things like “character, the grandest thing in the world.“ and they featured role models like abraham lincoln who was praised for being modest and unassuming. ralph waldo emerson called him “a man who does not offend by superiority.“
but then we hit the 20th century and we entered a new culture that historians call the culture of personality. what happened is we had evolved an agricultural economy to a world of big business. and so suddenly people are moving from small towns to the cities. and instead of working alongside people they've known all their lives, now they are having to prove themselves in a crowd of strangers. so, quite understandably, qualities like magnetism and charisma suddenly come to seem really important. and sure enough, the self-help books change to meet these new needs and they start to have names like “how to win friends and influence people.“ and they feature as their role models really great salesmen. so that's the world we're living in today. that's our cultural inheritance.
now none of this is to say that social skills are unimportant, and i'm also not calling for the abolishing of teamwork at all. the same religions who send their sages off to lonely mountain tops also teach us love and trust. and the problems that we are facing today in fields like science and in economics are so vast and so complex that we are going to need armies of people coming together to solve them working together. but i am saying that the more freedom that we give introverts to be themselves, the more likely that they are to come up with their own unique solutions to these problems.
so now i'd like to share with you what's in my suitcase today. guess what? books. i have a suitcase full of books. here's margaret atwood, “cat's eye.“ here's a novel by milan kundera. and here's “the guide for the perplexed“ by maimonides. but these are not exactly my books. i brought these books with me because they were written by my grandfather's favorite authors.
尊敬的老师们，亲爱的同学们：
大家好!
人生犹如一杯苦咖啡，慢慢品味才知道其中的香甜。
在充满活力的青春中，我们走过春风;沐过夏雨;踏过秋霜;访过冬雪。
因此我们应该珍惜我们所走的每时每刻，把握好每一个情节，不要浪费青春，浪费我们精彩的人生。在有限的青春时间内，我们应该做出无限美好的事情来。
青春是活力的，是人生中朝气蓬勃的精华阶段，我们的生机就在这儿诞生了，它给我们美好的希望，在创业中给我们灵感，在学习中它给我们战胜困难的主要精力。只要我们好好的把握住我们应有的黄金阶段，没有什么艰难险阻是攻无不刻战无不胜的，那么我们的日子将会变得丰富多采，富丽堂皇。
青春是欢快的流水，一晃而过。当我们不知不觉地在其中徘徊时，它已默默地消失在人生边际之中，而且是那么无情，那么坚定不移。回想过来原来是在糟蹋自己的青春没有珍惜这段时间，无知地将自己的青春视而不见，结果就会情不自禁地怨天尤人，看到自己一无所有，甚至走上绝路投江自刎。因此我们应该牢牢抓住这短暂的青春为未来美好的日子打下一个根深蒂固的基础。
所谓英雄出少年，在这个极短的青春时期内应该努力树立正确的世界观，人生观，价值观。这将会对自己一生的奋斗和成就产生长远而巨大的作用。
在青春中我们难免会遇到困境，那我们应该如何面对呢?
世界上没有不弯的路，人间没有不谢的花。其实这也不然!
当我们面对逆境时，千万不要听之认之，一定要有条不紊地与之作斗争，只要我们正确看待逆境，逆境持续长短只是在于个人的意志和想法，只要自己战胜了自己的心理，那么自然就会将逆境变为顺境了，这主要是怀有一个乐观的人生态度，要战胜困难首先就要战胜自己。
其次我们应该学会能屈能伸，时时刻刻准备着，要懂得居安思危，毕竟人生成功的创造日是极为短暂的。只有这样我们才不会被淘汰，不会落后。正如逆水行舟不进则退。否则就会造成少壮不努力老大徒伤悲的忧伤结局。
但一无所有的人并不可怕，因为他们是有福的，他们将会获得一切。但最可怕的是他们在这段时间内对生活产生厌倦感，失去对生活的留恋，和激情，失去对生活的憧憬和希冀。
因此我们应该改变自己的人生观念，怀有一颗积极向上的心去面向生活面世界面向未来!
我们的青春就像一杯苦咖啡，慢慢煎熬才能酝酿出人间珍品!因此我们在这个黄金阶段努力扬着船帆驶向成功的彼岸。
我的演讲完毕。
谢谢大家!
