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!

the tempo of modern civilization has been much quickened in the last twenty years. while witnessing the dramatic changes in the better-off society, people begin to reconsider the question of "survival". "survival" in the old sense does not bother us anymore. instead, we are more concerned about how to "survive" in the human world full of competition.

competition always carries abreast challenges and opportunities to everyone involved. it might appear in an entrance exam, in a regular class, or in a small public speech. those who fail to detect its real nature-whether an opportunity or a challenge a competition really is- will lose something more or less conducive to our growth. of course, if we take the competition as an opportunity, we will favor it intentionally because they can help us outstand from the average; they will make us become the focus of public attention; they will grant us more chances and rights to succeed. as a matter of fact, opportunities are supposed to be more perceptible and welcoming than challenges. the truth is, however, we will lose more opportunities when we choose to take the "opportunity" fork at the crossroads. the other fork, ignored by us and defined as "fearful challenges", offers much more chances for the walker in competition.

we have such an inclination in life to overestimate ourselves and hold a thoughtless attitude towards the negative outlook of things.

we believe in the old saying, "opportunity knocks but just once," so we always welcome it and devote all our spirit and efforts to it. the most devout believer of this saying are the graduates. why? there are quite a number of them who pay full attention to positions in big cities and are willing to flood into developed areas under any circumstances, even though there will be too much uncertainty for their choices. innumerable cases go straight to the same miserable end: god seems to refuse to help too many of his worshipers.

in conclusion, to define the quality of competition seems to be far from valuable sense, for no matter what a competition is, an opportunity or a challenge, it will create nutritious elements for our growth.

so take a positive look at everything around. keep our face to the sunshine, and we will not see the shadows.

in front of challenge there are 5 players.

the first player creates opportunity.

the second one attempts opportunity.

the third waits for an opportunity coming, sitting there and crossing his fingers.:)

how about the next one, the fourth player? he just simply misses the opportunity.

worse ever, the last contender ignores an opportunity under his eyes.

if we don't have guts to be the first player, at least, we can push out well-prepared to grasp any possible opportunity as does the second player.

i still remember the titanic, though it's a big ship but it still sunk, so, in my opinion, the best ship is the friendship. friendship is one of the most important things in everyone's life.

when you’re down, friends lift you up. when you lose your way, friends guide you and cheer you on

everyone need friends because there are a lot of things that you can't deal with yourself, and the friend’s just make up for it.

when you’re down, friends lift you up. when you lose your way, friends guide you and cheer you on

friendship just likes the sun, it can make you fell warm though in the cold winter, friendship just likes the water in the desert, it can make you fell that in the world, there still has hope .in a word, the friendship is the same meaning as the greatness, selfness and devotion.

to make friends ,adding a friend equals adding a way ,open your heart ,devote yourself ,let friendship make your world colorful 。

in our whole lives,we'll meet too much people but only a few can be our best friends. when staying with them,we can release ourself completely. we can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry together. i should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.

but in this fast-developing modern society, the reality is not that. more and more people forget to enjoy the beauty of friendship. they work hard in order to gain a higher position in the society and to earn more money for their work. they have few time to share with their friends. with the time goes by, they will be far away from each other.

friend is kind of treasure in our lives. it's actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. it also likes a cup of hot tea, when we are in bed time, it will warm our broken hearts.

friends,especially best friends. it is what we should have in our lives,and it can make our lives be colorful go beyond our imagination.

thanks for your listening. this is what i concerned.

this morning, in a discussion of the evidence, we were told that the evidence which purports to support the allegations of misuse of the cia by the president is thin. we're told that that evidence is insufficient. what that recital of the evidence this morning did not include is what the president did know on june the 23rd, 1972.

the president did know that it was republican money, that it was money from the committee for the re-election of the president, which was found in the possession of one of the burglars arrested on june the 17th. what the president did know on the 23rd of june was the prior activities of e. howard hunt, which included his participation in the break-in of daniel ellsberg's psychiatrist, which included howard hunt's participation in the dita beard itt affair, which included howard hunt's fabrication of cables designed to discredit the kennedy administration.

we were further cautioned today that perhaps these proceedings ought to be delayed because certainly there would be new evidence forthcoming from the president of the united states. there has not even been an obfuscated indication that this committee would receive any additional materials from the president. the committee subpoena is outstanding, and if the president wants to supply that material, the committee sits here. the fact is that on yesterday, the american people waited with great anxiety for eight hours, not knowing whether their president would obey an order of the supreme court of the united states.

at this point, i would like to juxtapose a few of the impeachment criteria with some of the actions the president has engaged in. impeachment criteria: james madison, from the virginia ratification convention. "if the president be connected in any suspicious manner with any person and there be grounds to believe that he will shelter him, he may be impeached."

i am very glad to give a speech today.the topic of my speech is the animal.i always think that animals are the friends of our human beings.they are not so complicated as our people,and they can always bring us plenty of happiness and satisfaction.

since i was a child,i have been keeping animals,such as cats,dogs,ducks and so on.sometimes i feel a little troublesome to feed them,but everytime i think about the happiness they have brought to my family,i will find that it is worth doing it in spite of so much hard working.you can imagine that,when you come home with your tired body,dogs are rushing at you and swinging their tails happily.that kind of warm feeling can be only brought by the pets.

both the domestic animals and the wild animals are lovely.however,they are being treated cruelly by lots of people at present.i can't understand those people.you may not like animals,even you could hate them,but you have no rights to hurt them.

every life of the living creatures is equal.every life of them has the right to live happily.human beings mustn't hurt those innocent creatures for our personal desire.

animals regard us as their friends,so we should let them enjoy their happy lives too.

now,that is all of my speech today.thanks for your listening.
