"We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pagesare infinite---"
I do not know who wrote those words,but I have always liked them as areminder that the future can be anything we want to make it.We can take themysterious,hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine,justlike 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 agood harvest.If our seed is poor and full of weeds,we reap a useless crop.If weplant nothing at all,we harvest nothing at all.
I want the future to be better than the past.I don't want it contaminatedby the mistakes and errors with which history is filled.We should all beconcerned about the future because that is where we will spend the reminder ofour lives.
The past is gone and static.Nothing we can do will change it.The future isbefore us and dynamic.Everything we do will effect it.Each day will brings withit new frontiers,in our homes and in our businesses,if we will only recognizethem.We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of humanendeavor.
“我们正在阅读一本页数无限的书的第一章的第一节……”
我不知道这段文字是谁写的,我一直很喜欢并用它们来提醒自己,那就是未来操之在我。我们可以掌握神秘而不可知的未来，从中创出我们所能想象的任何东西，一如雕刻家可以将未成型的石头刻出雕像一样。
我们每个人都是农夫，我们若种下好种子,就会有丰收，倘若种子长得不良且长满杂草,我们就会徒劳无获，如果我们什么也不种,就根本不会有什么收获。
我希望未来会比过去更好。我不希望未来会被那些充斥在历史中的错误所污染，我们应关心未来,因为往后的余生都要在未来中度过。
往昔已一去不复返而且是静止的，任凭我们怎么努力都不能改变过去，未来就在我们眼前而且是动态的.我们的所作所为都会影响未来，只要我们体会的出来,每天都可以发现新的知识领域伴随而生，可能是在家里,也可能是在我们的事业中，我们正处在人类所努力钻研的每个领域中进步的起点。
The sun has begun to set and I hang up the smile I’ve worn all day， thoughI will make sure it is the first thing I put back on in the morning just in caseit is “that day。” I want her to see me at my very best。
太阳将要下山，我收起挂了一天的微笑，但是我会确保明天早上第一件事就是将它又挂回去，以防这天就是“那一天”。我期望她看到我的最佳状态。
I do the normal routine， eat dinner， clean the house， write—the usualstuff。 And then I lay down hoping to fall asleep quickly so my new day willhurry up and arrive。 A new day with a brand new sun。 But as I lay there and waitfor the world to turn half way around， I think about her。 And sometimes I smile，and sometimes that smile will turn into asnicker， and then often that snickerwill turn into a burst of laughter。
我按平时的规律吃晚餐、打扫屋子、写作——做着日常事务。然后我躺下，期望能快点入睡，新的一天就能快点到来——拥有新生太阳的崭新的一天。可当我躺在那儿，等待着世界的日夜回转时，我想到了她。有时我会笑起来，有时那微笑变成了窃笑，然后窃笑又常常变成爆笑。
And then there are times I get that lump in my throat and that tightfeeling in my chest， and sometimes that feeling overwhelms me and begins to turninto a tear， and often that tear multiplies itself and I can no longer fight thefeeling and I lose the battle。 Then somehow through either the joy or thesadness I drift and find myself asleep。 Then the dreams begin and keep me panyuntil my new day arrives。
也有些时候，我的喉咙像是被一块东西哽住了，胸口发闷;有时那种伤感席卷而来，我开始流泪，眼泪常常越流越多，我再也无力抵抗悲伤，败下阵来。然后不知怎的，我在或喜悦或悲伤中飘荡，逐渐入眠。然后梦境开始伴我左右，直至新的一天到来。
When I awake it’s with such excitement because I tell myself this could bethe day that every other day has led up to and the first day of the rest of mylife。 I quickly don my smile because I do so want her to see me at my very best。Then I look out the window because， even though I know it’s dawn， I still haveto confirm I’ve been given another chance to find her。
醒来时，我兴奋不已，因为我告诉自我这天也许就是之前其他日子为之打下基础的“那一天”，是我余生的第一天。我迅速挂上微笑，因为我真的很想让她看到我的最佳状态。然后我朝窗外看去，因为即使我明白此刻才刚刚破晓，我仍得确定自我能够与她再次邂逅。
And there it is…the sun， even when it’s cloudy; somehow I still see it。 Andit smiles at me and I say， “Thank you，” and I smile back。
它在那里……太阳，虽然还是云雾重重，但我还是看到它了。它朝我微笑，我道了声“多谢”，回以一笑。
Then I ask myself， “Is this the day?” And the excitement rushes over meagain。 And then I ask myself， “Where’s it going to be?”
然后我问自我：“这天就是那一天吗?”兴奋之情再次充溢全身。然后我问自我：“它会在哪里呢?”
Maybe it’ll be at the water fountain， and， unexpectedly， there I’ll findher， and much more than my thirst will be quenched。 Maybe it’ll be at thegrocery store and there she’ll appear as I’m picking out fruit， and she’ll showme the difference between fresh and spoiled。 Then， from that moment， nothingthat I eat will ever taste the same because she’ll bring out the simplestbeauties in everything I see， taste， smell， hear， or touch。
也许它会藏在饮水机里，没想到我真能在那里找到她，为我生津止渴，取之不尽。也许它会躲在杂货店里，我拿起水果的时候，她就出现了，她会给我展示新鲜和变质的不一样。然后，从那一刻开始，我所尝到的一切味道不再一样，因为但凡我看到的、尝到的、闻到的、听到的或摸到的东西，她都带出了它们最简单的美丽。
Or maybe today will be the day when my angel brings an item up to the cashregister without its price tag。 And as I wait behind this angel with all thefrustrated people who are in such a hurry with their busy lives， I will findmyself with such blessed extra time。 Just enough time to start a conversationwith this beautiful vision standing in front of me that I might not otherwisehave noticed， but， because of a “price check on register 5，” I was able to findher。
或许就在这天，我的天使把一件没有价格标签的商品拿到收银台。我在天使身后排队，看着身心疲惫的人们忙忙碌碌地过日子，庆幸自我得到了这样的额外时光，让我能够和面前的倩影闲聊一会儿，否则我也许会错过，但只因为一句“请到5号收银台付款”，我就能找到她。
Thank you for the sun， which began my new day。 Thank you for granting methe faith when I arose this morning that I would find her in this new day。 Butmost of all， thank you for me not having to ever wait on another sunrise becausewhenever I want to see it， I will look at her and there it shall always be， inher eyes; she will forever hold it for me。
感谢太阳，它是新一天的开始。感谢你让我今早一齐床就满怀信心，明白自我能在这新的一天找到她。但最要感谢的是我不必再等下一个日出，因为无论我想何时看到它，我都能够看向她，它总会出此刻她的双眸里;她永远为我留着。
She is my sunrise， my dawn， my new day。
她是我的日出，我的黎明，我崭新的一天。
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 exists in 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!

Good morning !
my great pleasure to share my dream with you today. my dream is to become a teacher....
As the whole world has its boundaries, limits and freedom coexist in our life. I don’t expect complete freedom, which is impossible. I simply have a dream that supports my life.
I dream that one day, I could escape from the deep sea of thick schoolbooks and lead my own life. With my favorite fictions, I lie freely on the green grass, smelling the spring, listening to the wind singing, breathing the fresh and cool air and dissolve my soul in nature at last. Simple and short enjoyment can bring me great satisfaction.
I dream that one day the adults could throw their prejudice of comic and cartoon away. They could keep a lovely heart that can share sorrow and happiness with us while watching cartoon or doing personal things. That’s the real communication of heart to heart.
I have the belief that my dreams should come true. I am looking forward to some day coming when I am like a proud eagle, which flies to the blue and vast sky.

Saying goodbye to childhood,we step into another important time in the pace of young,facing new situations,dealing with different problems.....
everyone has his ownunderstanding of young,it is a period of time of beauty and wonders,only after you have
experienced the sour ,sweet ,bitter and salty can you really become a person of significance.thre time of young is limitted,it may pass by without your attention,and when you discover what has happened ,it is always too late.grasping the young well means a better time is waiting for you in the near future,or the situation may be opposite .
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 ,don't let the limitted time pass by ,leaving nothing of significance.
good afternoon ，ladies and gentlemen!
i’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! to begin with ,i want to ask a question .does everybody dream a good dream last night? actually ,today i want to talk about dream with you. of course, what i want to talk is not a dream you have last night,but a dream—— about life.
everyone has dreams about life, different dreams at different life stage,and we need dreams to support us. dreams are like the stars we never reach in the sky,but like most mariners(水手),we can chart our course by them. with the dream,we have a direction,with a direction, we were no longer confused.with the dream, there is hope,with hope, we have the strength to fight.
i have a dream: to be a doctor.，because doctor may relieve the pain of patients. may let the human change the health. at the same time, i believed that, those who help others may be able to obtain joyfully. therefore, i hoped in the near future ,i might be a doctor.
but i know，life is tough,and there are always ups and downs, maybe we fail in the way to our aims,and we may feel depressed ,whenever at this time, the dream in our heart can always comfort us, encourage us ,and support us to move ahead .
young!fortunately, i am young now. just due to it, i know that nothing is impossible.i firmly believe that nothing can stand in my way. if i can't realize my dream,it result from that i haven't work harder enough and i won't find other excuses. if no people believe you, you can make it to prove that you are right. if you think the god haven't blessed you and there is no truth here, you can become the god and create the truth.
"my breath swallows the sky and make the yellow river overflow, my sword is famous in kyushu and it can collapse the five sacred mountains." at some time in the past i also had am bitious words and i had some achievements. each achievement results from my hard work. i always believe that "if you want to have more achievements than others, you must work harder." in some extent, the dream is the hope. if you can insist on doing something, the victory will come.
hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. so my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today. let's--- move ----out!
thank you for your listening!
Today's speech I want to talk to my classmates about a few stories, thesestories are in our side, but we have never noticed, thinking.
One night last semester, go alone to five teaching self - study. Fatigue tohis eyes faint, faint yellow light trance to see a little boy shuttle betweentables and chairs, those hands links to pick up the garbage in the table bucket.Looking back, his mother is holding a large woven bag, came and took thegarbage. Mother and son of the shadow under the irradiation of a group of lightsappear very long, repeated, fade out of the classroom. I just looked at, whatseems to be thinking, so for a long time.
A small thing in life study, let me look at yourself again. His little badhabits, bring others? Shouldn't we be good young people who love school andlife? How can we indulge in the erosion of negative energy on us? I have asked afew students, how don't you remember to take away the garbage generated byself-study in class? Most students are vacant answer, not someone to accept?
Some of our own little habits, little laziness. Slowly become entrenchednegative energy, we didn't even notice, slowly accustomed to. Our youth, we areyoung, but ignorance is not synonymous with youth and youth.
Classmate, don't know if you have ever met this kind of situation, onenight, you are going to carry a bag to the library to study, is shouting to letthe dormitory of several other elder brothers go with you, at that time, aclassmate said: " oh, boy, the sun came out to the west, you should go to thelibrary, don't pack! " you hesitated, thinking about next week's exam, orthinking about to go to the library self-study make-up class, so, you are goingto go, then another voice rang:" hurry up to open the computer, hero league opena black shop sent a person ah, how can you do without! " at this time, yousilently put down the bag, opened the computer, just study the idea of abruptwas left behind ...
The word " positive energy" students are familiar with, its network meaningrefers to all give people up, give people hope and pursuit, make people actionmotivation and feelings. As a contemporary college student, I think we should bea positive energy person, at the same time, also should make friends withpositive energy, in each other's communication, let positive energy togetherinto a larger upward force, so that college life more positive. " true, good,beautiful" has always been as a synonym for positive energy, specific to collegelife, positive energy also covers a lot of meaning: for example, pay attentionto social welfare undertakings, to participate in social practice, let lovetransfer, so that their lives are sublimated; In the face of setbacks and lifeis not the best, to be able to persevere, with a positive attitude to face; Inthe study, be able to persevere, hard work, perseverance; Be a responsibleperson, able to understand their responsibilities, parents' expectations andsocial expectations. My classmates, my story is not over yet.
After that night, I often talked to my classmates about the experience,everyone also have feelings. Gradually, I found that after class we didn't leavethe classroom in such a hurry, but scanned the table bucket, conveniently taketheir garbage. I feel a positive energy in the spread, everyone has a sunshineand beautiful heart. In the dormitory, inner remorse let me I can no longercontinue to play games like this, I flatly cutting away. One day, two days, Ialso saw them in the study room, we smiled at each other. The original transferof positive energy is not difficult. Young people always have all kinds ofideas, the oath of youth will always be on the lips. No matter where can reflectthe vitality of our young people, and the university is a place where youngpeople gathered most. There will be more things, and the inside of the idea willbe more rich.
One windy spring day， I observed young people having fun using the wind tofly their kites。 Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled theskies like beautiful birds darting and dancing。 As the strong winds gustedagainst the kites， a string kept them in check。
Instead of blowing away with the wind， they arose against it to achievegreat heights。 They shook and pulled， but the restraining string and thecumbersome tail kept them in tow， facing upward and against the wind。 As thekites struggled and trembled against the string， they seemed to say， “Let me go!Let me go! I want to be free!” They soared beautifully even as they fought therestriction of the string。 Finally， one of the kites succeeded in breakingloose。 “Free at last，” it seemed to say。 “Free to fly with the wind。”
Yet freedom from restraint simply put it at the mercy of an unsympatheticbreeze。 It fluttered ungracefully to the ground and landed in a tangled mass ofweeds and string against a dead bush。 “Free at last” free to lie powerless inthe dirt， to be blown helplessly along the ground， and to lodge lifeless againstthe first obstruction。
How much like kites we sometimes are。 The Heaven gives us adversity andrestrictions， rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength。Restraint is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition。 Some of us tugat the rules so hard that we never soar to reach the heights we might haveobtained。 We keep part of the mandment and never rise high enough to get ourtails off the ground。
Let us each rise to the great heights， recognizing that some of therestraints that we may chafe under are actually the steadying force that helpsus ascend and achieve。
在一个有风的春日，我看到一群年轻人正在迎风放风筝玩乐，各种颜色、各种形状和大小的风筝就好像美丽的鸟儿在空中飞舞。当强风把风筝吹起，牵引线就能够控制它们。
风筝迎风飘向更高的地方，而不是随风而去。它们摇摆着、拉扯着，但牵引线以及笨重的尾巴使它们处于控制之中，并且迎风而上。它们挣扎着、抖动着想要挣脱线的束缚，仿佛在说：“放开我!放开我!我想要自由!”即使与牵引线奋争着，它们依然在美丽地飞翔。最后，一只风筝成功挣脱了。“最后自由了，”它好像在说，“最后能够随风自由飞翔了!”
然而，脱离束缚的自由使它完全处于无情微风的摆布下。它毫无风度地震颤着向地面坠落，落在一堆乱草之中，线缠绕在一颗死灌木上。“最后自由”使它自由到无力地躺在尘土中，无助地任风沿着地面将其吹走，碰到第一个障碍物便毫无生命地滞留在那里了。
有时我们真像这风筝啊!上苍赋予我们困境和约束，赋予我们成长和增强实力所要遵从的规则。约束是逆风的必要匹配物。我们中有些人是如此强硬地抵制规则，以至我们从来无法飞到本来能够到达的高度。我们只遵从部分戒律，因此永远不会飞得足够高，使尾巴远离地面。
让我们每个人都飞到高处吧，并且认识到这一点：有些可能会令我们生气的约束，实际上是帮忙我们攀升和实现愿望的平衡力。
Hello everyone! My name is, a student from*college. I am glad to give you a speech about my university. The title of my speech is My college, my home.
Last September I left my hometown with heavy baggage and after a journey of ten hours, I came to this dream campus with great expectation and excitement.
I was deeply attracted by the elegant environment of our campus the moment I stepped into the university. Straight, wide roads enjoyed the shade and shelter provided by lordly, green trees. Ancient buildings of great refinement enjoyed the company of flocks of birds flying and singing overhead. Scrolls of warm welcome greeted me and volunteers with smiles came to my help. My heart was filled with warmth. Yeah, this is the place where I will spend 4 years and this place will be my home!
Whenever I recall the past days, so many thoughts are flooding in my mind. But what impressed me most is a night when I got a stomachache during the first days. I had to turn to the aunts in charge of our dormitory for help. They were so friendly and warm-hearted. They gave me the pills and reminded me of having more hot water. I recovered soon and I thanked them from the bottom of my heart because they brought me the warmth of home.
Our university is a famous academic center. The teaching staff are all learned professors. Many of them are world-wide known for their wide range of knowledge and charming personality. I respect my teachers! I admire my teachers! I love my teachers! Various activities are carried here. They not only bring me happiness but also improve myself. I meet with a lot of classmates and make a large number of friends. When I feel upset, the will give me a hand; when I am happy, I will share with them. The library has a large collection of books and I always lose myself in it. I believe they will benefit me a lot and are to broaden the roads of my future.
I love you,*University! You are just a place which gives me warmth and strengths! You are my home!

One day, if someone gets up on the right side of the bed and calls me andsays:’ You are the greatest person on earth. You are doing a great job and Iwant you to know I am honored to call you a friend.” I know he is sincere. Howdoes it make me fell? Great. But the next day, he gets up on thewrong side side of the bed, picks up the phone and says:” You rascal, you cheat,you crook! You are biggest fraud in town.” How does it make me feel?Terrible.
一天，如果某人情绪甚佳，并打电话给我说：“你是世界上最伟大的人。你做得非常好，我想让你知道把你称作朋友是我的荣幸。”我知道他是诚心的。听了这话我会有何感受?棒极了。然而第二天，他情绪不佳，拿起电话给我说：“你这恶棍，你这骗子，你这个不诚实的人!你是镇上最大的骗子。”我又有何感受?非常糟糕。
So the first day when he says, “You are the greatest guy,” I feel great andthe next day when he says, “you rascal,” I feel terrible. Who is controlling mylife? Obviously, he is, Is that the way I want to through life? Not at all. Thatis being externally driven.
第一天，他说：“你是最棒的人”时，我感觉良好。而第二天，当他说：”你是恶棍”时我感觉糟糕。谁在操纵我的生活?很明显是他。难道这就是我的生活方式吗?决不是，这是外因驱动。
I want to be internally driven. When he calls me and says I am the greatestguy it is good to hear those words. But even if he doesn’t say those words, inmy own estimation, I am still a god human being. And the next day when he ripsme apart, he can’t really, because in my own estimation. I am stilla good human being. When people make statements like, “You make me angry, ” thefocus of control is external. But if I say I am angry or I choose to be angry,the focus of control is internal.
我要主动的生活。当他打电话给我说我是最棒的人时，接受这些话语是有益的，但即使他并不是这么说，在我的自我评价中我依然是个好人。而第二天，当他想将我的自尊心撕碎时，他也并不能真正做到，因为在我的自我评价中我依旧是个好人。当人们说：“你使我愤怒“时，操纵点在外界。而如果我说我生气了，或者我要选择生气，那么操纵点就是内在的。
