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!
青春
青春不是指歲月，而是指心態。粉嫩的臉，紅潤的脣，矯健的膝並不是青春。青春表現在意志的堅強與懦弱。想象的豐富與蒼白、情感的充沛與貧乏等方面。青春是生命深處清泉的噴湧。
青春是追求。只有當勇氣蓋過怯弱、進取壓倒苟安之時，青春才存在。果如此，則60見之長者比20歲之少年更具青春活力。僅僅歲月的流逝並不能使他們衰老。而一旦拋棄理想和信念，則垂垂老也。
歲月只能使面板起皺。而一旦喪失生活的激情，則連靈魂枯老，使人生枯如死水，毫無活力。
60歲長者也好，16歲少年也罷，每個人的內心深處都渴望奇蹟，都如孩子一般眨著期待的雙眼，期待著下一次，期待著生活的情趣，你我靈魂深處都有一座無線電中轉站------只有你我年輕，則總能聽到希望的呼喚，總能發出喜悅的歡呼，總能傳達勇氣的訊號，總能表現出青春的活力………
一旦青春的天線倒下，你的靈魂即為玩世不恭之雪、悲觀厭世之冰覆蓋;即使你年方20.其實你已垂垂老也。而只要你青春的天線高高聳起，就可以隨時接收到樂觀的電波-----即使你年過八旬，行將就木，而你卻仍然擁有青春，你仍然年輕。
Everyone is attracted by beauty and beauty is powerful. But what is true beauty? Perhaps you can get the answer from the following story.
This morning I went to the market to buy some vegetables with my parents. On the way we all highly praised a young man in western-style clothes and leather shoes who was riding by. But he rode so fast that he knocked an old lady down ead of stopping， he pretended not to see this and rode away quickly. We were all very angry with the young man. To our happiness， a girl in plain dress ran forward at once， helped the lady up and took her home. We all praised the girl.
From this we know we cannot judge a person by his appearance. A person who is dressed beautifully may not have a beautiful soul. Only a person who has a beautiful soul is really beautiful.
翻譯：人人都被美和美所吸引，是有力量的。但什麼是真正的美?也許你可以從下面的故事得到答案。
今天早上我去市場買了一些蔬菜和我的父母。路上我們都高度讚揚了一名年輕男子西裝革履的騎著。但是他騎得太快了，他不小心撞倒了一個老太太，而不是停止，他假裝沒有看到這個，很快就騎走了。我們都很生這個年輕人的氣。為了我們的幸福，一個穿著樸素的女孩立刻跑上前，幫助那位女士走了過來，把她帶回家了。我們都表揚了那個女孩。
從這個我們知道，我們不能判斷一個人的外表。一個穿著漂亮的人可能沒有一個美麗的靈魂。只有擁有一個美麗靈魂的人才是真正的美麗。
Everyone has a dream, and it will guide our way forward, struggle for a noble ideal.
I have been thinking you should be what kind of person, but the ideal is always ideal, if do not have any effort, no determination to achieve the ideal faith, ideal is a fantasy.
The ideal strength is immeasurable, it is not just a goal, is also a hope, but also a power. Life is indeed darkness, unless there is the incentive; All incentives are blind, unless there is knowledge; All knowledge is vain, unless you have a dream. Because have a dream, so we can constantly into before.
We are fighting for the dream, will be lost, will lost the direction, this moment, you should give yourself some confidence, no longer hesitate, no longer confused, looked at the road ahead, believe that certainly can become the ideal of themselves. Adhere to the dream and have been trying to, blossom always admirable colour and lustre.
Of course, there will always be some exceptions, not every effort can achieve your dream. Their ultimate results may not have imagined so kua top, but be absolutely the best, don't regret is enough, we have no own can. Broken wings of a dove is still up at the sky of happiness, not flowering fuso can also use greenery deck the earth.
Ideal is really only a bet, is getting? A deep, from the moment of jump, must work hard. Or, dapeng spread wings, on a whirlwind; Either, stone sink deep bottom, no noise. The former, have ideal, have goals, have the power, so the unremitting efforts; The latter, there is not enough confidence, so lost in the confusion.
Everyone need to ideal, no matter is the ideal hong yao or trivial, as long as you have ideal, have I hope. On the way to make my dream come true, please bring ideal, because ideal support people have the strength to make my dream come true!
每個人都擁有夢想，而它將指引我們前進的方向，為自己理想而奮鬥。
我曾經思索過自己該成為一個什麼樣的人，但是，理想始終是理想，假如沒有做任何努力，沒有決心信念往實現理想，理想就成了幻想。
理想的氣力是無法估量的，它不僅僅是一個目標，也是一個但願，更是一種動力。生命的確是黑暗的，除非有了激勵;一切激勵都是盲目的，除非有了知識;一切知識都是徒然的，除非有了夢想。由於有了夢想，所以我們才能不斷前入。
我們在為夢想而奮鬥時，會迷茫，會失往方向，這種時刻，就應該多給自己一些自信，不再彷徨，不再迷茫，望清前方的道路，相信自己一定能成為理想中的自己。堅持著夢想並一直努力的人，總能綻放出令人敬佩的色澤。
當然，總會有那麼些許例外，並不是每一個努力的人都能實現夢想。也許他們終極的結果並沒有想象中的那麼夸姣，但是要絕了自己最大的努力，不留下遺憾便足夠了，我們已經絕了自己的所能。折斷了翅膀的白鴿仍有仰瞅天空的幸福，無法開花的扶桑同樣能用綠葉裝點大地。
實在理想也是獨一的一個賭注，就迸?一個深淵，從跳下那一刻起，就必需奮力拼搏。要麼，大鵬鋪翅，扶搖而上;要麼，石沉淵底，再無聲響。前者，擁有理想，有目標，有動力，所以不懈努力;後者，沒有足夠的自信，所以迷失在彷徨中。
每一個人都需要理想，不管這個理想是弘遙或是微不足道，只要你有理想，便有了但願。在實現夢想的路途上，請帶上理想，由於理想有支撐人實現夢想的氣力!
Hi everybody.
Beauty usually refers to what appeals to the eye. A nice and well built girl is regarded as beautiful. A bunch of vigorous flowers are also considered as beautiful. A splendid waterfall coming down from a mountain is as well looked on as beautiful.
Beauty also refers to what appeals to the mind. The virtue of the Chinese nation-industry and bravery are taken as beautiful, because it helped to produce such a magnificent culture in the world. Einstein's theory of relativity is also perceived as beautiful, for it explains many natural phenomena so perfectly.
Beauty is around us. If you keep an eye or pay some attention, it is never difficult to find something beautiful somewhere about you. Wonderful natural spots, historical relics,fine arts, splendid buildings, and kind people are just a few inches away.
thank you.
翻譯：嗨，大家。
美通常指的是吸引眼球的東西。一個漂亮而漂亮的女孩被認為是美麗的。一束有力的花也被認為是美麗的。從一座山上下來的一個美麗的瀑布，也被視為美麗的。
美也指那些對心靈有吸引力的東西。中華民族的工業和勇敢的美德是美麗的，因為它有助於產生這樣一個巨集偉的文化在世界上。愛因斯坦的相對論也被認為是美麗的，因為它解釋了許多自然現象如此完美。
美在我們身邊。如果你保持一個眼睛或支付一些關注，它永遠不會很難找到一些美麗的地方關於你。奇妙的自然景點，歷史文物，美術，輝煌的建築，善良的人只是幾英寸遠。
謝謝您.

翻譯：青春不是生命的時候，它是一種精神狀態;它不是紅潤的臉頰、紅潤的嘴脣和柔軟的膝蓋，它是一種情緒的物質：它是新鮮的;它是生命深處的新鮮。
青春意味著勇氣驅走怯懦氣貫長虹，冒險戰勝安逸。這往往存在於一個60歲以上的男子，比一個20歲的男孩。沒有人會變老，只是靠一些年。不思進取。
歲月在面板上起皺紋，但放棄熱情則會使靈魂起皺。憂慮，恐懼，自我不信任扭曲了心靈，把精神變成了塵土。
不管60 16，但在每個人的心，奇蹟之誘惑，孩童的孩童般的渴望和對生活的樂趣。在你的心和我的心有一個無線電臺：只要它接收到美好，希望，歡樂，勇氣和力量的資訊，從男人和從無限的，只要你年輕。
當天線倒塌時，你的心靈蒙上玩世不恭的霜雪和悲觀厭世的冰凌，那麼你已經老了，甚至在20，但只要你豎起天線，捕捉樂觀的訊號，你就有希望在80歲死去。
謝謝你!
Everytime I am asked what I want to do in the future. I think a minute and say being a doctor is my dream job.
Doctor is an other kind of artist who does human art by fighting with diseases and making people feel good. I think it is a pleasure to try my best to bring happiness to others. It is a feeling of pride and I am fond of it. In modern life， a mass of people work day and night to seek wealth and as a result they ignore their health. It is known that strong body is a foundation of beatific life. I dreamed to be an excellent doctor who can help them have a right to enjoy life again. Curing people is a doctor's holy responsibility.
Being a doctor is my dream job， now I should study hard to gain more knowledge to reach my goal.
翻譯：每次我問我將來想做什麼。我想了一分鐘，說是一個醫生是我的夢想的工作。
醫生是另一種藝術家，通過與疾病的鬥爭，使人們感覺良好，人類的藝術。我認為這是一種樂趣，盡我最大的努力給別人帶來快樂。這是一種驕傲的感覺，我喜歡它。在現代生活中，大量的人為了追求財富而工作，因此他們忽視了他們的健康。它是已知的，強壯的身體是一種幸福的生活的基礎。我夢想成為一個優秀的醫生，可以幫助他們有權利享受生活。固化人是醫生的神聖責任。
成為一名醫生是我的夢想的工作，現在我應該努力學習，以獲得更多的知識，以達到我的目標。
Spring quietly came to the earth, they after a winter break, began the seemingly endless dream trip, a profusion of garden flowers, fine rain wind is light, they had no time to see the beautiful scenery, because at the start of this year the arrival of spring. When birds trees, streams, bend over, they don't have leisure time, because they have a dream a dream plum the whole country, and the rain, the swallow, young leaves, CaoYa, all Mr Strength growth, the more rain, the greater the but these commitments, finally they brought to sweet dream summer.
In summer, do not stop the footsteps, no matter how much sun poison, they by the searing heat to move forward, melon and fruit closed down, and they don't have the time to taste. Greenery is impressed, he strongly growth, blocking the sun, they no longer kubla khah dripping wet, but they never put down, bear the burden of they want to call from a distant plum, tell the teacher own studies how successful, at this time is their proudest moment!
Autumn wind the leaves, it in the fall in the wind, the fog of the morning, did not make them feel confused, they like to find people, break the confusion, the farmers harvest joy, perhaps the fields, but they have to seriously every obstacle disease may want to detain him, but they still kept to the noble cause.
In the winter, the sunshine is how precious, they are like the sunlight, take away the heavy snow, no matter how fast it gets dark, bright much later, they always adhere to the effort, for the dream of progress.
Passed the one season, and repeating it over and over again, the dream-seeker who is tired, dream to make them quickly forward, forward!
春天悄無聲息的來到了人間，他們經過一個寒假的休息，又開始了那看似無止境的追夢之旅，花紅柳綠，雨細風輕，他們來不及看那美麗的風景，因為這一年伊始春的到來。當鳥鳴枝頭，溪流彎腰，他們沒有閒暇，因為他們有一個夢一個桃李滿天下的夢，於是雨絲、燕子、嫩葉、草芽，都努著勁地生長，雨越下越大，但這些追夢者們，終於他們的夢被帶到香甜的夏。
夏日裡，那腳步仍未停息，無論太陽有多毒，他們頂著烈日繼續前進，瓜果收下來了，而他們沒有時間品嚐。綠葉被打動了，他極力生長，擋住了烈日，他們不再大汗淋漓，但擔負的重任他們從未放下，他們希望遠方的桃李打來一個電話，告訴老師自己的學業多麼成功，這時便是他們最自豪的時刻了!
秋風掃落葉，它隨風飄到了秋天，晨起的霧，並未使他們感到迷茫，他們就像探路人，打破了迷茫，這時也許田間地頭正是農民豐收的喜悅，但是他們必須嚴肅地對待每一個障礙或許疾病想拖住他，但他們依然進行著那神聖的事業。
冬日裡，陽光多麼珍貴，他們就像陽關，帶走了那重重的白雪，無論天黑得多快，亮得多晚，他們始終堅持著，努力著，為了那個夢想進步。
走過了那一個又一個的季節，重複著那一遍又一遍的授課，追夢者們毫不倦怠，夢想使他們快步向前，向前!
Dream is the winter fire, it is autumn, spring summer, as long as have a dream, the spring of life will shine bright fireworks.
"Yao is not snow, for a fragrance" is the dream of cold winter plum blossom. In gale of laying, bullying in the cold snow, she still stand proudly, conceits in a piece of white pink, send out faint fragrance, when all the flowers are bent down, only the plum blossom her fearless in oppression. Because she knew "plum blossom incense from" you can't afford to bank everything, that stands in the snow of the plum blossom, is more noble. Is a dream, let the cold winter plum blossom ling2 han2 open alone.
"No is not heartless, maternal gentleness is more protect flower" is the dream of bleak autumn maple leaves. Autumn wind faded the luster of the maple leaf, rain washed the maple leaf green, when he is faced with the loss of life, he was as cool as a cucumber, he enjoy the autumn wind dance brought him comfort, enjoy the autumn rain washing on earth, he think that it is the gift of god to him, that is before his mission to encourage, to his brave, let him bring autumn poetry. Happy is a dream, let the bleak autumn maple leaves are cool.
"Infinite blue day lotus plants, video on lotus another red" is the dream of hot summer lotus root, in mud messy, she weeds were wrapped tightly, vulnerability, such as her, how will you move that exists, she can only silently waiting for, any time a little bit of patience to kill weeds, finally the day came, she rushed out of the weeds, grow from the silt, bloom their brilliant, she is more beautiful, zhou yuan and said she "the silt but not imbrued, zhuo QingLian without demon", a hot summer day, the strong sun baked the pedestrian, only her graceful net plant, to cold summer is smooth. Is a dream, let the heat of summer lotus XiangYuan yi qing.
The beauty of the dream we cannot grasp, dream of the great we will be able to guess. As long as have a dream life will bloom.
夢想是冬日的篝火，是秋日的外衣，是夏日的泉水，只要有夢想，人生的春天就會綻放璀璨的焰火。
“遙知不是雪，為有暗香來”是寒冷冬日梅花的夢想。在烈風的抽打下，在寒雪的欺凌下，她依然傲然挺立，在一片雪白中綻出一點粉嫩，散發淡淡的幽香，當所有的花朵都彎下腰的時候，只有梅花她無畏於壓迫。因為她知道“梅花香自苦寒來”，那在雪中屹立的梅花，是多高貴啊。是夢想，讓寒冷冬日的梅花“凌寒獨自開”。
“落紅不是無情物，化作春泥更護花”是蕭瑟秋日楓葉的夢想。秋風褪去了楓葉的光澤，秋雨洗刷了楓葉的嫩綠，當他面對即將逝去的生命的時候，他鎮定自若，他享受秋風帶他翩翩起舞的舒適，享受秋雨洗滌身上泥土的愜意，他認為那是上天帶給他的禮物，那是在他完成使命前的鼓勵，讓他勇敢面對，讓他給秋天帶來詩意。是夢想，讓蕭瑟秋天的楓葉淡然快樂。
“接天蓮葉無窮碧，映日荷花別樣紅”是酷熱夏日蓮藕的夢想，在雜亂的淤泥中，她被雜草緊緊包裹，柔弱如她，怎能動彈分毫，她只能靜靜的等待，任時光一點點消磨雜草的耐心，終於那一天還是來了，她衝出雜草的包圍，從淤泥中生長出來，綻放自己的燦爛，她是多美麗，周元公說她“出淤泥而不染，濯清漣而不妖”，炎熱的夏日，濃烈的陽光烘烤著行人，只有她亭亭淨植，給夏日平添透心涼。是夢想，讓酷熱夏日的荷花香遠益清。
夢想的美麗我們無法捉摸，夢想的偉大我們無法猜測。只要有夢想人生就會春暖花開。
Distinguished judges, teachers, dear friends:
Hello, everyone! My name is cheng xiang yan , I am a junior student come from life science institution y, I am very glad to stand here and share with you my most sincere speech‘Flying youth, master our future!’
Life is a process of growing up. Saying goodbye to childhood, we step into another important time of life in the pace of young, facing new situations, dealing with different problems.....
However, who can really say what the youth is ? A period of time? A belief?An attitude to life? Or anything else? actually, 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.
Just like A famous poet said ‘ youth is a lovely song ,where nothing is impossible ,youth is a meaningful book, you’ll be never bored of it ;youth is a rapid river ,it keeps on flowing day and night ;youth is a cup of tea ,it shows you different kinds of tastes in your life. ’
As youth is so precious, of course, we must treasure it ’t let the limited time pass by, grasping the young will means a better time is waiting for you in the near future.
So,It’s necessary for us to prepare ourselves well for the future to come. having a view on those great men in the history of hunman being, they all made full use of their youth time to do things that are useful to society, to the whole mankind, and as a consequence ,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 world, just for youeself, for those around!
So, what should we do when we are young? Here,I’ll point out some tips to help equip ourselves.
First of all,think of what you’d like to be some day. A teacher ? A doctor ? A writer? Don’t afraid of dreaming of big and great e you are young , you can dream of doing anything and becoming anyone in the future.
What’s more , never ignore the power of knowledge. Read more books and travel around. For one thing, it can increase your knowledge, for another, it’ll broaden your horizon.
Last but not the least , stick to your dream. It easier said than done. After all, future is not all roses. young is just like blooming flowers, they are so beautiful when blooming, which make people feel happy, but with time passing by, after they withers ,most 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 should have enough courage and determination to overcome all the difficulties in struggling on the road.
I firmly believe one sentence that‘If you think you can, of course you can!’Just believe we can make it! Keep on walking towards our dream. Flying youth , master our future. From today, from now on , are you Ready ?
That’s all. Thank you so much for your attention !
翻譯：尊敬的評委，老師，親愛的朋友們：
大家好!我的名字是程翔豔，我是一名國中學生來自生命科學機構。今天，我能站在這裡與你分享我最真摯的speech'flying青年非常高興，掌握我們的未來!'
生命是一個成長的過程。告別童年，我們步入了另一個重要的生活節奏，在年輕的步伐，面對新的情況，處理不同的問題的時候了
然而，誰能真正說什麼是青春?一段時間?一種信仰?一種生活的態度?還是別的什麼?其實，每個人都有自己觀點的年輕人，這是一段美麗和奇蹟，只有在你經歷了酸，甜，苦，鹹，你真的能成為一個人的意義。
正如一位著名的詩人說：“青春是一首可愛的歌，沒有什麼是不可能的，青春是一本有意義的書，你永遠不會厭倦它;青春是一條快速的河流，它日夜流淌;青春是一杯茶，它會給你的生活展示各種不同的品味。'
青春是如此的珍貴，當然，我們必須珍惜它，不要讓有限的時間流逝，抓住年輕人意味著一個更好的時間在不久的將來等著你。
因此，有必要為我們做好準備，為未來的到來。有在人類的歷史上那些偉大的人的觀點，他們都充分利用了自己的青春時光去做一些對社會是有益的，對整個人類，作為一個後果，他們被後人所銘記，人人羨慕的。這樣做在年輕的時候，雖然你可能不會得到成就這些greatmen做，但不是整個世界，只為自己，為周圍的人!
那麼，當我們年輕的時候我們應該做什麼呢?在這裡，我會指出一些技巧，以幫助裝備自己。
首先，想一想有一天你會是什麼樣的。一個老師嗎?一個醫生嗎?一個作家?不要害怕偉大和偉大的夢想，因為你很年輕，你可以夢想做任何事情，成為未來的任何人。
更為，永遠不要忽視知識的力量。多讀些書，四處旅行。一方面，它可以增加你的知識，另一方面，它會擴大你的視野。
最後，但不是最不重要的，堅持你的夢想。說起來容易做起來容易。畢竟，未來不是所有的玫瑰。年輕就像盛開的花朵，他們是如此美麗盛開的時候，這讓人感到高興，但是隨著時間的流逝，後肩，大多數人認為他們是醜陋的。所以它是相同的年輕，我們是熱情的，當我們年輕的時候，那麼我們可能會失去我們的激情時，越來越老。因此，我們應該有足夠的勇氣和決心，克服一切困難，在奮鬥的道路上。
我堅信一句話宣告'如果你認為你可以，你當然可以!只要相信我們能做到!繼續走我們的夢想。飛揚的青春，掌握我們的未來。從今天開始，從現在開始，你準備好了嗎?
就要這些。謝謝你這麼多的關注!
In the summer recess between freshman and sophomore years in college, I wasinvited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp hosted by a collegein Michigan. I was already highly involved in most campus activities, and Ijumped at the opportunity.
About an hour into the first day of camp, amid the frenzy of icebreakersand forced interactions, I first noticed the boy under the tree. He was smalland skinny, and his obvious discomfort and shyness made him appear frail andfragile. Only 50 feet away, 200 eager campers were bumping bodies, playing,joking and meeting each other, but the boy under the tree seemed to want to beanywhere other than where he was. The desperate loneliness he radiated almoststopped me from approaching him, but I remembered the instructions from thesenior staff to stay alert for campers who might feel left out.
As I walked toward him I said, “Hi, my name is Kevin and I’m one of thecounselors. It’s nice to meet you. How are you?”
In a shaky, sheepish voice he reluctantly answered, “Okay, I guess.”
I calmly asked him if he wanted to join the activities and meet some newpeople. He quietly replied, “No, this is not really my thing.”
I could sense that he was in a new world, that this whole experience wasforeign to him. But I somehow knew it wouldn’t be right to push him, either. Hedidn’t need a pep talk, he needed a friend. After several silent moments, myfirst interaction with the boy under the tree was over.
At lunch the next day, I found myself leading camp songs at the top of mylungs for 200 of my new friends. The campers were eagerly participated. My gazewandered over the mass of noise and movement and was caught by the image of theboy from under the tree, sitting alone, staring out the window. I nearly forgotthe words to the song I was supposed to be leading. At my first opportunity, Itried again, with the same questions as before: “How are you doing? Are youokay?”
To which he again replied, “Yeah, I’m all right. I just don’t really getinto this stuff. ”
As I left the cafeteria, I too realized this was going to take more timeand effort than I had thought — if it was even possible to get through to him atall.
That evening at our nightly staff meeting, I made my concerns about himknown. I explained to my fellow staff members my impression of him and askedthem to pay special attention and spend time with him when they could.
The days I spend at camp each year fly by faster than any others I haveknown. Thus, before I knew it, mid-week had dissolved into the final night ofcamp and I was chaperoning the “last dance”. The students were doing all theycould to savor every last moment with their new “best friends” — friends theywould probably never see again.
As I watched the campers share their parting moments, I suddenly saw whatwould be one of the most vivid memories of my life. The boy from under the tree,who stared blankly out the kitchen window, was now a shirtless dancing owned the dance floor as he and two girls proceeded to cut up a rug. Iwatched as he shared meaningful, intimate time with people at whom he couldn’teven look just days earlier. I couldn’t believe it was him. In October of mysophomore year, a late-night phone call pulled me away from my chemistry book. Asoft-spoken, unfamiliar voice asked politely, “Is Kevin there?”
“You’re talking to him. Who’s this?”
“This is Tom Johnson’s mom. Do you remember Tommy from leadership camp?”
The boy under the tree. How could I not remember? “Yes, I do”, I said.“He’s a very nice young man. How is he?”
An abnormally long pause followed, then Mrs. Johnson said, “My Tommy waswalking home from school this week when he was hit by a car and killed.”Shocked, I offered my condolences.
“I just wanted to call you”, she said, “because Tommy mentioned you so manytimes. I wanted you to know that he went back to school this fall withconfidence. He made new friends. His grades went up. And he even went out on afew dates. I just wanted to thank you for making a difference for Tom. The lastfew months were the best few months of his life.”
In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of yourself everyday. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I tellthis story as often as I can, and when I do, I urge others to look out for theirown “boy under the tree.”
在大一到大二之間的那個暑假，密歇根的一所大學主辦一次中學學生幹部夏令營，邀我擔任輔導員。對於校園的多數活動，我都持贊同態度並積極參與，那次我同樣欣然接受了。
頭一天活動進行大約一個鐘頭，我注意到，開始活躍的營員們興致濃厚，不太自然地互動起來，而樹下卻有一個孤零零的男孩。他身材矮小，瘦弱不堪，那明顯的不安和羞怯使他顯得不堪一擊。在只有五十英尺遠的地方，二百名充滿激情的營員正在玩耍、開玩笑並互作介紹，而樹下的男孩似乎除了想呆在原地，不想去任何地方。他流露出的極度孤獨令我幾乎難以靠近，但我沒忘記資深輔導員們的提示：對可能感覺受到冷落的營員要保持警惕。
我走向那個男孩，對他說：“嗨!我叫凱文，是你們的輔導員。很高興認識你，你好嗎?”
帶著顫抖的怯生生的聲音，他勉強答道：“我想——還好吧。”
我平靜地問他想不想投入到那些活動從而結識一些人，他輕聲回答：“不，那不關我的事。”
我能感覺到他在面對一個新的環境，這種體驗對他來說是全然陌生的。也不知為什麼,我覺得強迫他加入也不妥當。他不需要鼓勵性的講，他需要的是朋友。幾次沉默之後，我和樹下男孩的接觸就此結束。
第二天吃午飯的時候，我扯開嗓門，領著二百名剛認識的新朋友唱起了營歌。營員們都熱情參與，我的目光遊移於這群人，忽然那個“樹下男孩”的樣子吸引了我的注意：他孤零零地坐著，眼瞅著窗外。我幾乎忘記了領唱的歌詞。只要一有機會，我就會照舊用那些話問他：“你怎麼樣?你好嗎?”
他的回答依然是：“嗯，我很好。我真地不想參與那種事兒。”
我離開自助餐廳的時候充分認識到，扭轉這種狀況所需的時間和所做的努力要比我想像的要多——即便是在能讓他徹底“迷途知返”的情況下。
在當晚的全體工作人員會議上，我告訴了他們我對他的擔憂。我向同事們說明他給我留下的印象，請求他們對他給以特別的關注，並儘可能花時間和他在一起。
每年我在營地度過的日子總是一晃而過，感覺比其它時間過得快。這次同樣如此。我還沒明白過來，星期三已成過去，露營的最後一晚來到了。我伴隨營員們跳起“最後的舞蹈”。學生們都在竭力品味跟新“摯友”在一起的最後每一刻——他們或許以後再也見不到面了。
營員們共度這難忘的分別時刻，這時我突然目睹了我一生都記憶最清晰的一幕：那個曾透過廚房窗戶茫然盯著外面的樹下男孩，此時卻成了不穿襯衫的跳舞奇才。他和兩個女孩跳著搖擺舞，在舞池裡到處舞動。我注視著他跟大家共享這親密無間又意義深長的時刻，而僅僅幾天前他卻對他們連瞧也不瞧一眼。判若兩人，讓我無法相信。
我大二那年的十月，深夜的一個電話讓我放下化學課本，一個柔和卻生疏的聲音彬彬有禮地問道：
“凱文在嗎?”
“我就是，您是哪位?”
“我是湯姆?約翰遜的母親，您還記得那個參加夏令營的湯米嗎?”
樹下的那個男孩，我怎麼會不記得呢?
“我記得。”我說，“他是個很不錯的小夥子，他現在情況怎麼樣?”
長長的反常沉默過後，約翰遜夫人又說道：“湯米這個星期從學校回家的時候，一輛汽車撞了他使他辭別人世。”我感到震驚，向她表示我的哀悼。
“我給您打電話，”她說，“只因為湯米好多次說起過您。我想讓您知道，他今年秋季返校時有了自信心，交了新朋友，學習成績提高了，甚至還出去約會過幾次。我只想表達我的感激之情，因為是您改變了他。最後的這幾個月是他度過的生命中最美好的時光。”
在那一刻，我意識到，你每天奉獻出一點點還是容易得很，你可能永遠都不知道你的舉動對他人的影響有多大。我常常講起這個故事，每當講起的時候，我總是力勸別人也注意一下他們自己的“樹下男孩”。
failure is the mother of success. sometimes people have to cope with many mistakes and failures in order to reach the successful finals. while others might succumb to failure, they tend to retreat and give in their efforts. success often provides confidence and satisfaction, nevertheless failure companies with bitter, saddness, and suffering. it seems people have to learn through each experience, as success doesn‘t always falls from heaven.

good morning/evening/afternoon, ladies and gentlemen :
today, my speech is about talents,in my opionion, talents are indispensable in nowadays society. as is known to all that the fight among countries is actually the fight among talents.
first, i'd like to define the word"talent" in my idea, a talent is one person who is good at or expertised in some or multiple areas. nowadays, as the world developing goes on , if one country want to rank top or do a good job in the world, the country must have many example, china, the biggest developing country in the world, in the past 100 years, is always invaded by other countries, why ,the reason is that china at that time had not so many talents.
if they had anti-intrusion leader talents in the war, needless to say,they would have beat those big they had talents in weapons manufacturing, nodody dares to provoke ver, nowadays, it's a totally different situation, china has become powerfulin all over the world, why ?
because there are many talents serving the country, the civilians become more and more and more people go to university,more and more people come to receive further education.
so what is that in return,talents in army protect our country from invasion, talents in commerce help make our economy keep in improving, talents in aerospace make the world see chinese manned spacecraft flying. talents in sports make china rank the first in the olympic sum up, talents will play a more and more impoetant role in the world, if one country intends to flourish, he must foster talents as many as they can ,that's all,thank you.
