优秀经典英语演讲稿1

　　Looking around me today, I think of the generations of Yale graduates who have come before you. Individuals who have been for something.

　　There are many names we know and others that would be less familiar – presidents and world leaders, artists and business executives, scholars and scientists.

　　Like them, I know you will heed the call to leadership and service and leave your mark on every realm of human endeavor.

　　That is Yale’s mission – that is what Yale is for.

　　As members of the Yale community, what do we believe?

　　We believe that facts and expertise, applied with creativity and wisdom, can transform the world.

　　We believe that education and research save lives and make life more meaningful.

　　We believe that diversity of thought and diversity indeed are essential to human progress.

　　We believe, most of all, in the boundless potential of human ingenuity; that together, we can solve great challenges and bring light and truth to a world in great need of it.

　　So many people under estimate the power and importance of a smile, that simple little facial expression characterized by an upward curving of the corners ofthe mouth.

　　A smile has many meanings: pleasure, friendliness, welcome, amusement, and many more; and it is part of a universal body language that doesn’t need any extrainter pretation.

　　Plus a smile, with all its simplicity and beauty, can be a very important factor in many aspects of our lives:

　　You fall in love with a new country you visit because its people greet you with a welcoming smile everywhere you go; other countries you just don’t like even though they might have more history, nature, entertainment and what not because their people don’t seem so friendly or accepting.

　　You feel like buying from a certain store when the vendor welcomes you in with asmile, sometimes even if you wouldn’t initially have bought anything; and in other stores, even though they have exactly what you need or better, you decide to walk away because the vendor doesn’t look welcoming at all.

　　You want to give a waiter a good tip when he serves you with a smile, even if the food turns out not that good; on the other hand, sometimes you’ll have some of the best food ever, but you won’t feel like giving the waiter a tip, even if you do, because he was grumpy.

　　More and more examples from our everyday life show how much a simple smile can change everything.

　　Forever engraved in my mind will be the smiling faces of the people of Thailand, the friendly pizza delivery boy, the welcoming supermarket vendor, the nice cashier at the bank, … etc.

　　It is these smiles that keep me wanting to go back, and that keep us all wanting to go back; looking at it from another view, if we break it down using business sense, a smile is one of the most effective means to generate sales and develop customer loyalty.

　　On top of all that, a smile is a very simple and easy thing to do, so it amazes why no one bothers to do it, it not only makes the person in front of you better, but it also makes you feel better as well, and I’m not making this up,it has been psychologically proven.

　　Personally, I’d like to see more smiling faces in this world; in the airports when I enter a new country, in companies, government agencies, restaurants, hotels, banks,everywhere; and I think it is up to governments to campaign about this, and even make it obligatory in certain important places like airports, hospitals,hotels … etc.

　　Let’sall simply smile.

　　We've all been taught that we should help people. It is the right thing to do and will make us popular with others. It may even win us favors in return. However, we must be realistic. We can't say yes to every request. If we did, we would fail or go crazy for sure. Sometimes we simply don't have the time to help. In this case, we must know how to say no politely. When we need to say no, here is one method we can try. First, we should tell the truth. If we really can't do something, we should just say so. Second, we should remember to refuse requests politely. We must communicate clearly, but must also be sincere and sympathetic. A true friend will understand. Finally, we must not feel guilty about saying no. Sometimes refusing others is the right thing to do. It can save ourselves, and them, a lot of trouble. In short, we cannot please everyone all the time. Refusing favors is a part of life.

　　i've had an interesting experience. i'm an entrepreneur, having started my own business, also worked in the context of a family business that was highly entrepreneurial.i've had both, working in a large family business, that grew to be arather large business. i think for me, one of the challenges wasmanaging the competing demands of raising a family and, and running a business, working in a family business. and then politics got layered on top of that. then i got pregnant with my thirdchild in the midst of that. one of the things, there is no right answer. people ask about balance a lot. i don't think you can plan for balance. you can structure your schedule to avoid worktravel, coming home and having an event or you have to be can manage things like that. we are one kid illness away from losing balance. there's no way you can plan for certain things. i have found every time i think a challenge is large and will behard to overcome that has been put in my path, if you grindthrough it, you look back in retrospect and it feels much more manageable than it was in the moment. this perspective, staying in the moment, keeping a laser focus on what your priorities are. i tell people not to architect their life for balance, but aligned with what their priorities are. and fully measure yourself againstpriorities to ensure you are where you needed to be in the long term. give yourself a little slack in the short term. i will say as anadministration, we are focused on thinking about how weempower the american working family and empower people to achieve a balance through policies around making child caremore affordable and accessible, advocating strongly for paid family leave. to support the reality of of the dual income modernworking family. thinking through policies that support the family is informed by what i have seen and what i have witnessed.

　　The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

　　Attitude to me is more important than facts.

　　It is more important than the past,than education,than money,than circumstances,than failures,than successes,than what the other people think, say,or do.

　　It is more important than the appearance,the giftedness or skill.

　　It will make or break a company,a church ,a home.

　　The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day, regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.

　　We cannot change our cannot change the fact that people will act in acertain cannot change the inevitable.

　　The only thing we can do is play on the one stage we that is our attitudes.

　　I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me ,and ninety percent how I react to so it is with you.

　　We are in charge of our attitudes.

　　President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members of the faculty, proud parents, and, above all, graduates.

　　The first thing I would like to say is ‘thank you.’ Not only has Harvard given me an extraordinary honour, but the weeks of fear and nausea I have endured at the thought of giving this commencement address have made me lose weight. A win-win situation! Now all I have to do is take deep breaths, squint at the red banners and convince myself that I am at the world’s largest Gryffindor reunion.

　　Delivering a commencement address is a great responsibility; or so I thought until I cast my mind back to my own graduation. The commencement speaker that day was the distinguished British philosopher Baroness Mary Warnock. Reflecting on her speech has helped me enormously in writing this one, because it turns out that I can’t remember a single word she said. This liberating discovery enables me to proceed without any fear that I might inadvertently influence you to abandon promising careers in business, the law or politics for the giddy delights of becoming a gay wizard.

　　You see? If all you remember in years to come is the ‘gay wizard’ joke, I’ve come out ahead of Baroness Mary Warnock. Achievable goals: the first step to self improvement.

老师们，同学们，我亲爱的战友们：

　　大家好!

　　今天我们齐聚一堂，我们即将奔赴战场。此时此刻，让我想起了前天看的电视剧康熙王朝，讲到施琅即将出兵攻打中国台湾，出发前，命所有的士兵大声呐喊，要喊出气势，这还不曾发炮，就要在气势上压倒敌人——中国台湾的郑经。那么，大家说，施琅要的是什么?

　　好，精气神。那么，今天，我们要的是什么?对，依然是，精气神。那你能同我一起呐喊吗?好，来来来。我们要喊出我们桥中人的气魄，展现出桥中高三人的精气神：我们，我们是同一战壕的勇士;我们，我们是桥中的骄傲!

　　今天，在这个庄严而又难忘的时刻，作为一线教师，面对全体同学，面对学校、年级的领导，我们庄严承诺——我们全体教师仍将会一如既往地踏实工作;我们会刻苦钻研，耐心辅导，通力合作，随时关注高考动态，采集高考最新信息，不漏掉每一个问题，不放弃你们中的任何一个人。请你们记住，在这87天里，我们全体教师将时刻与你们同在，以最优秀的教学质量、最无私的投入、最真挚的情感与你们同舟共济!永远做你们最坚强、最可信赖的后盾!同学们，你知道吗?我的喜悦来自哪里?对，你们的改变!当你们真正地做到了“静下心，坐得住，潜心学习”的时候，那是我最快乐的时候。20xx年2月27日，正月初九，我们开始上课了，我满怀信心地步入我的课堂，踏上三尺讲台——在我的内心，这就是我的殿堂，我的舞台。可当我讲得兴趣正浓时，有些同学嘻嘻哈哈的表情、左顾右盼的寻找他的目标的时候，我的心很是纠结，Duang的一下：是我讲得不好，亦或是你全然没有大战在即的意识?下课了，我在沉思，自己哪里备课不够充分，我到底该如何改进?我到底该如何真正地吸引你的注意力——哪怕只有20分钟?自习课上，当我一次又一次地把你从睡梦中死死地拽出来的时候，我又一次陷入沉思中，我知道了，原来真的是你，自己把自己丢弃!是你，放弃了自己!曾经的你，踏入桥中时，信誓旦旦，你的豪言壮到底去了哪里?曾经的你，稳坐桌前，潜心读书，我到底还能再次看到这种场景吗?你们说，能不能? (能!)是啊，在这短短的87天里，我们仍对你充满期待，期待你的改变!你的改变，我们铭记于心。

　　那一天，我看到了这样一个场景：高三4班，一个还曾在上学期的课堂上，东张西望，“左右逢源”的大男孩，今天，静静地坐在课桌旁，认认真真地读完型填空，很负责任的写下了一个又一个答案;自习课上，我再也没有见到他“只看不动笔”的情形，相反，他边思索边计算，他就是高三(4)班的`吴胜旭;我这还有一个他，他不喜欢英语，更不喜欢我这个英语老师，这是我的感觉，前几天，他居然拿出了英文词典，逐个查阅单词，我笑了，笑得好甜好美，在心底乐开了花!他就是陈兴。同学们!我要告诉你的就是你点点滴滴的改变真的能带给我们无限的快乐!我坚信，在这87天里，我们一定能收获满满的幸福与快乐!

　　同学们，在你的身边，我的眼前，有许许多多桥中人的骄傲：有锲而不舍，永不放弃的李子闯、卢学文、刘晓彤、赵胤、李帅、陈俊瑶、蔡梦颖、马艺书;还有抓紧一切时间，全心投入到学习中的刘丹阳、夏朝阳、王天赐、周建、杨世光、贾丽娜、付宇成、孙颖、候峥;他们，他们就是我们的榜样!我们的榜样，就在身边，就在眼前!所以，我要说，只要你想，只要你脚踏实地地去做，奇迹就会发生!我相信，你们87天无悔的付出一定能带来奇迹!

　　20xx年3月9日，也就是前天周一的晚自习值班，离下课还有两分钟，我抬头往下环顾，一秒、两秒、三秒……一个小男孩看了我一眼，又快速地低下了头;一秒、两秒、三秒……又有一个大男孩看了我一眼，也低下了头。除此之外，无一人抬头，大家仍埋头看书写字。同学们，你知道我要说什么吗!我要说，这就是我们想要看到的学习氛围“静下心，坐得住，潜心学习”。

　　这，就是我们桥中人想要的氛围;这就是我们桥中人想要的改变!一个又一个的改变，一个又一个的高三勇士，你们真真的是我们的亲学生，所以我要问：亲，你准备好了吗?(准备好了)

　　你们就是桥中的勇士!

　　有勇士在，87天，我们风雨同舟，一起走过!

　　有勇士在，87天，我们引吭高歌，燃烧火热的激情，奋斗不止，拼搏不休!最后，祝愿全体同学心想事成，金榜题名!祝愿我的战友健康、快乐、幸福!祝愿我们的桥中更加美好!

　　谢谢大家!

　　good afternoon. i'm the president and ceo of pda drywall. we are based in raleigh, north carolina. one of the biggest setbacks in the last 12 years has been tax regulations. as we are embarking on tax forms discussions, what are you going to do for small businesses to help change those regulations in favor of small businesses?

　　many of the same things we have been discussing,comprehensive tax reform. mr. gary co. in the here has beenspearheading this charge at the white house. you can definitely pick his brain about tax reform. it is high on his mind these ring the corporate rate, encouraging business to grow,encouraging businesses based here to stay here, bring theircapital back that has been trapped overseas will have anenormously positive impact within our country and free updollars that can be reinvested. in conjunction with regulatoryreform, we have come out of the gate swinging. it's a major focus. my father's particular sensitivity to this issue is havingbeen a successful person in business himself. he understands thelimitations, whether businesses he was looking to buy or grow, dealing with suppliers and smaller businesses that services companies. he very much understands how the regulatory environment, while important has grown to a place where it is the unintended consequences is stifling entrepreneurial spirit. we are going to bring that back. we have started doing it. tax reform is going to be incredibly important for every american. we are optimistic about those things. and continued progress.

　　i would like to add, small businesses will say to me any tax reduction will be great. just let me know what it is. what is going to be my percentage. tell me what the rate is going to be so i can plan. without fail, every single one of those businesses tell me they will take that money and reinvest it in their business and hire more people. that will grow our economy. we will see that growth when we see tax rates go down. especially those in thellcs, all that money flows through. you know exactly how that works. we are working on it.

　　One of the legacies of receiving a world-class education is the sobering awareness of the inadequacy of our knowledge. Some years ago, one of the people I admire and respect most architect is Renzo Piano just turned 70 and I asked him what felt like. He said that, as much as he had thought about and prepared for that moment, it still came as a shock. Now I can attest to that feeling of shock but more than anything he said it made him feel that our proper lifespan should be 210 years, 70 to learn, 70 to do, and 70 to teach the next generation.

　　This lovely description captures an elementary fact of life: a good life has the feeling that we’re learning more and more as we go. And that we could do even better if we just learned a bit more. I hope that you are fortunate enough to carry that spirit of life with you and we must hope together that it continues to define this nation and the world. In the centuries ahead, on behalf of Columbia University, I extend to all our graduates the centennial class of 20xx warmest k you!

　　In the matter of courage we all have our limits. There never was a hero who did not have his bounds. I suppose it may be said of Nelson and all the others whose courage has been advertised that there came times in their lives when their bravery knew it had come to its limit.

　　I have found mine a good many times. Sometimes this was expected--often it was unexpected. I know a man who is not afraid to sleep with a rattle-snake, but you could not get him to sleep with a safety-razor.

　　I never had the courage to talk across a long, narrow room. I should be at the end of the room facing all the audience. If I attempt to talk across a room I find myself turning this way and that, and thus at alternate periods I have part of the audience behind me. You ought never to have any part of the audience behind you; you never can tell what they are going to do.

　　I'll sit down.

　　The clock is running. Make the most of today.

　　To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.

　　And remember that time waits for no one. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is amystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present!! The clock is running. Make the most of today.

　　my name is richard daphne. i have over 30 years in different sizebusinesses, with many ups and downs. my question is for do you feel has been your biggest challenge, most exciting success? mrs.

　　as an entrepreneur you try to balance yourown time, energy, focus, especially when you think big. you sometimes have to slow yourself down. so, to not -- to impose thediscipline on yourself to enable you to achieve the growth youwant, especially in the early days, you have limited people. you arejust launching a product or a service. you hopefully feel thatearly momentum. when you are an entrepreneur you have to be a visionary. we also have to be an secured her. successfulentrepreneurs are both. they dream big. they think big. they also are highly pragmatic, able to execute at the task at times there is an imbalance. i think for anyone to besuccessful, they have to reconcile those things. ultimately we were talking about it, in terms of recruitment, you are as good as your people. investing in your teams, your employees, making sureyou have cultivated a group that complements you, that pushesyou , that will enable you to succeed. for me, success that is scaled and done tremendously well is because they have a great team and great people.

　　thank you for doing this work today. we are a marketing publicengagement firm. we are a serviced a bold veteran small business. we have been based in northern virginia for many years. virginia is the number one state for veteran owned businesses. our right to pursue the american dream is something i hold dear to my heart.i'm curious, i'm sure you have had the opportunity to meet greatentrepreneurs. is there one story that is the most inspirational story?

　　it is been incredible to hear so many ng the two years prior campaigning, traveling around the country. one of the unique things about this experience, my father was running for president. people would come up to youwherever you were and tell you their stories. with suchtremendous detail, and tell you of their hardest challenges, and share with you things in a way they neither -- never would would never open themselves up to you in the same way theydo during the process of a campaign. now today, being part of this administration. i feel blessed for the candor in which people share their ideas and personal stories. linda and i were together in baltimore just days after the inauguration. we did a roundtable with small business owners, predominantly female, hosted by the national urban league. one of those women who actually i brought her to the white house a few months later is named lisa phillips. she had a small's ness. she told me her storyand i think -- we were all crying. it was so amazing. she started out homeless. she is now engaged. this spring she got her mastersdegree. she has a small but thriving small business and party planning. she is volunteering with homeless youth in baltimore. so this is -- these types of stories forever change you. it is unbelievable to hear the purser variants, the grant, the energy. i know she is going to make an enormous impact not just in her business but her community. we talk about small business, how it is going to grow our economy and benefit american workers, butthe amount of philanthropy being done on the local level by small business is a norm is enormous. i'm sure each of you can share your own stories just about how you are able to give act and you do in such a tremendous way. lisa story was moving to me.

　　During my brief time in office, our world has reminded us daily of the necessity and the urgency of our work.

　　We’ve witnessed the coarsening of public discourse and the volatility of national and international affairs.

　　We’ve mourned when gun violence has cut future short, and gatherings of the faithful – Jewish, Muslim, and Christian – have ended in bloodshed.

　　We’ve continued to confront the existential threat posed by climate change, and we’ve reeled as extreme weather has destroyed homes and claimed lives.

　　And we’ve grown increasingly aware of the scourge of sexual harassment and sexual assault, and have struggled to consider how institutions, Harvard among them, can prevent and address behavior that threatens individuals and weakens communities.

　　To be sure, there is much in this world that rightly troubles us. But there’s even more that gives us cause for hope.

　　And it’s that spirit of hope – the willingness both to see the world as it is, and to consider how we can help make it better – that is in many ways the spirit that defines this university and I believe joins us all together.

　　Since I took office on July 1, I’ve seen the value of both knowledge and education at work in the world. I’ve seen the good being done by our faculty and our students, by our alumni, and our staff, and our friends. And I’ve seen expressions of compassion, and patience, and kindness, and wisdom that have moved me deeply.

　　On Monday, tomorrow, during your commencement ceremonies, I will confer on you all the "rights and responsibilities" of a Yale degree. Yours is a great responsibility. You will have to know what you are for.

　　What are you for?

　　"Surely in the light of history," Eleanor Roosevelt said, "it is more intelligent to hope rather than to fear, to try rather than not to try."

　　Yale has prepared you, as a scholar and a human being, to try; to face challenges with courage and determination. And I trust you are leaving Yale with a sense of your own responsibilities to one another, to the planet, and to our shared future.

　　By serving others and our communities with the many gifts you have been given, you will live a life that is for something, a life of meaning and purpose.

　　There is no time to waste; there are no words to waste: As a young Bob Dylan sang in 1965, "He not busy being born is busy dying." We must give life to new ideas, imagine new ways of being in the world, new answers to the problems that vex us and our neighbors.

　　Now is the time.

　　Members of the Class of 20xx, please rise:

　　We are delighted to salute your accomplishments, and we are proud of your achievements. Remember to give thanks for all that has brought you to this day. And go forth from this place with grateful hearts, paying back the gifts you have received here by using your minds, your voices, and your hands to imagine and create the new worlds you wish to see.

　　What are you for?

　　Congratulations, Class of 20xx!

　　Thank you. Thank you.
