let me begin my speech with a replay of scenes familiar to most, if not all, of those present here today.
"mum, i'm sorry, but i need 3,000 yuan for my tuition this year."
"mum, it is my friend's birthday tomorrow, i must buy her a present."
"mum, this jacket was out of fashion long ago, would you do me a favor? "
take. take. take. the relationship between a mother and a child always seems to follow such a pattern. i know my mother is always there for me, providing me with everything i need; from food to clothing, from tuition to pocket money. i never thought twice about all she did until one day she said, "will there be a time that you'll say you have taken enough from me? "
like a child endlessly asking, we humans, throughout history, have been continually demanding what we desire from nature. we enjoy the comfort and beauty of our furniture, yet we never bother to think about the serious soil erosion caused by deforestation. we take it for granted that we must warm ourselves in winter times, yet we seldom realize the burning away of precious natural resources. we appreciate all the prosperity from the development of modern industry, yet few would give the slightest consideration to the global air and water pollution caused by industrial wastes. our ruthless exploitation has permanently impaired our mother earth. as we tragically learned from last summer's floods. we cannot continue our carelessness.
finally, standing here at the threshold of the 21st century, we cannot help thinking of our posterity. nature is not only the mother of the present generation, but also the mother of the generations to come. how severely our descendents will criticize us if we leave them a barren and lifeless mother? how much more they will appreciate us if we give them a world of harmony to inherit? let us start respecting and caring for nature from now on. let us start the campaign of.
Innovation Hello, ladies and gentlemen. It’s great to be here. First of all, thanks for your coming. Tonight, what I am gonna talk about is innovation. Who can tell me what is innovation? We all know that, since 1978, China has been through the greatest changes brought by the reform and opening-up. So what we can see from the reform and opening-up? The power of innovation. That’s why I am here. I am here to show you my Chinese dream. I want to talk about the future and how we're going to win it. If we want to make innovation. But firstly, we should make sure that China is a place where we can make it if we try, where we can go as far as hard work and big dreams will take us.
We understand that it’s not going to be a cakewalk, this competition for the future, which means all of us are going to have to do our best. We are going to have to win the future by being smarter and working harder and working together. Innovation is the spirit of our country, the motive force for our country’s prosperity. Sparking the imagination and creativity of our people, unleashing new discoveries -- that's what China will do better than any other country on Earth. From the moment we have a new idea, we can explore it; we can develop it with a research grant; we can protect it with a patent; we can market it with a loan to start a new business.
We’ve got a chain that takes a great idea all the way through. We must be confirmed that, today, the challenges we face are real. They are serious they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But we will somehow find a way to overcome the difficulties. My major is . My job is to discover or create new drugs for many diseases like cancer. You know that laboratory is the place where miracles happen. Believe it or not. What I do can save millions of people’s lives. For a long time, what challenges me is how to commercialize research.
You come up with a great idea, but moving that new discovery from theory to practice or from the lab to the marketplace, that's re ally a big job. That’s what we should focus on. We need to act with a sense of urgency-to study and work and create as if the fate of the country depends on us-because it does. It depends on us. Thank you!
Im glad to be here to share with you my definition of success.
when we mentioned the success, the usual worldly criteria are wealth, fame,high social status and something other like that. in reality, we can’t deny tthese things in some way. but personally, i believe that succeis the realizationof people’ hopes and wishes. and to live with a high ideal is a successful is not what one does, but what one tries to do, that make a man strong. so ibelieve that succeis ninety-nine percent mental attitude, it calls for lots ofpositive quality: effort, love, diligence, efficiency and so on. i think thesuccessful life always have these characters. if a person inherits his family’smillions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person in materialterms, it just can be said that he has the smooth way of life, he is lucky insome way, but that is not the asing effort is the price of success. nomatter what is the result, we always can get more from the process. what weshould do is that insisting on our goals or dreams and always encourage.
ourselves to challenge more, to hold the opportunities, never give up. itsounds like si-mp-le, but it is really hard to do. also the key points of thesuccess.
relatively speaking, in our daily life, succewould be rather si-mp-le. forme, i’m standing here to take part in the speech competition is somehow alsosuccess. as i’m a easy to suffer from stage fright, i choose to hold thischance, my goal is my own character training——to be more confident, to have morecourage to front such situation, i really do it, i have truly gained byparticipating, i’m success.
what is success? i’m sure that everyone has his own interpretation as i the inspiring words of philips brooks:“ do not pray for tasks equal to yourpowers ,pray for powers equal to your tasks, then the doing of your work shallbe no miracle, but you shall be the miracle.” so believe in our hopes ,believein ourselves. every one can create the success.
thank you!
Ato will remain steadfast in its support of this body. This we shall do inthe conviction that you will provide a great share of the wisdom, of thecourage, and the faith which can bring to this world lasting peace for allnations, and happineand well-being for all men.
VerdanaI therefore decided that this occasion warranted my saying to yousome of the things that have been on the minds and hearts of my legislative andexecutive associates, and on mine, for a great many months thoughts I hadoriginally planned to say primarily to the American people.
Nevertheless, I assure you that in our deliberations on that lovely islandwe sought to invoke those same great concepts of universal peace and humandignity which are so cleanly etched in your Charter. Neither would it be ameasure of this great opportunity merely to recite, however hopefully, piousplatitudes.
Nineteen years ago, almost to the day, we lost three astronauts in aterrible accident on the ground. But weve never lost an astronaut in never had a tragedy like this. And perhaps weve forgotten the courage ittook for the crew of the shuttle. But they, the Challenger Seven, were aware ofthe dangers, but overcame them and did their s brilliantly. We mourn sevenheroes: Michael Smith, Dick Scobee, Judith Resnik, Ronald McNair, EllisonOnizuka, Gregory Jarvis, and Christa McAuliffe. We mourn their loas a nationtogether.
And I want to say something to the schoolchildren of who were watching thelive coverage of the shuttles take-off. I know its hard to understand, butsometimes painful things like this happen. Its all part of the proceofexploration and discovery. Its all part of taking a chance and expanding manshorizons. The future doesnt belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the Challenger crew was pulling us into the future, and well continue to followthem.
Well continue our quest in space. There will be more shuttle flights andmore shuttle crews and, yes, more volunteers, more civilians, more teachers inspace. Nothing ends here; our hopes and our journeys continue.
