英語(yǔ)演講稿勵(lì)志1
We Are The World ,We Are The Future
Someone said "we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite". I don’t know who wrote these words, but I’ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. We are all in the position of the farmers. If we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.
We are young. "How to spend the youth?" It is a meaningful question. To answer it, first I have to ask "what do you understand by the word youth?" Youth is not a time of life, it’s a state of mind. It’s not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees. It’s the matter of the will. It’s the freshness of the deep spring of life.
A poet said "To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. Several days ago, I had a chance to listen to a lecture. I learnt a lot there. I’d like to share it with all of you. Let’s show our right palms. We can see three lines that show how our er and life is. I have a short line of life. What about yours? I wondered whether we could see our future in this way. Well, let’s make a fist. Where is our future? Where is our love, career, and life? Tell , it is in our hands. It is held in ourselves.
We all want the future to be better than the past. But the future can go better itself. Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened. From the past, we’ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. We’ve learnt that we can’t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. Failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way. Failure doesn’t mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder.
As what I said at the beginning, "we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite". The past has gone. Nothing we do will change it. But the future is in front of us. Believe that what we give to the world, the world will give to us. And from today on, let’s be the owners of ourselves, and speak out "We are the world, we are the future."

It is a commonplace among moralists that you cannot get happiness bypursuing it. This is only true if you pursue it unwisely. Gamblers at MonteCarlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead, but there are otherways of pursuing money which often succeed. So it is with happiness. If youpursue it by means of drink, you are forgetting the hang-over. Epicurus pursuedit by living only in congenial society and eating only dry bread, supplementedby a little cheese on feast days. His method proved successful in his case, buthe was a valetudinarian, and most people would need something more vigorous. Formost people, the pursuit of happiness, unless supplemented in various ways, istoo abstract and theoretical to be adequate as a personal rule of life. But Ithink that whatever personal rule of life you may choose it should not, exceptin rare and heroic cases, be incompatible with happiness.
There are a great many people who have all the material conditions ofhappiness, i.e. health and a sufficient income, and who, nevertheless, areprofoundly unhappy. In such cases it would seem as if the fault must lie with awrong theory as to how to live. In one sense, we may say that any theory as tohow to live is wrong. We imagine ourselves more different from the animals thanwe are. Animals live on impulse, and are happy as long as external conditionsare favorable. If you have a cat it will enjoy life if it has food and warmthand opportunities for an occasional night on the tiles. Your needs are morecomplex than those of your cat, but they still have their basis in instinct. Incivilized societies, especially in English-speaking societies, this is too aptto be forgotten. People propose to themselves some one paramount objective, andrestrain all impulses that do not minister to it. A businessman may be soanxious to grow rich that to this end he sacrifices health and privateaffections. When at last he has become rich, no pleasure remains to him exceptharrying other people by exhortations to imitate his noble example. Many richladies, although nature has not endowed them with any spontaneous pleasure inliterature or art, decide to be thought cultured, and spend boring hourslearning the right thing to say about fashionable new books that are written togive delight, not to afford opportunities for dusty snobbism.
If you look around at the men and women whom you can call happy, you willsee that they all have certain things in common. The most important of thesethings is an activity which at most gradually builds up something that you areglad to see coming into existence. Women who take an instinctive pleasure intheir children can get this kind of satisfaction out of bringing up a sts and authors and men of science get happiness in this way if their ownwork seems good to them. But there are many humbler forms of the same kind ofpleasure. Many men who spend their working life in the city devote theirweekends to voluntary and unremunerated toil in their gardens, and when thespring comes, they experience all the joys of having created beauty.
The whole subject of happiness has, in my opinion, been treated toosolemnly. It had been thought that man cannot be happy without a theory of lifeor a religion. Perhaps those who have been rendered unhappy by a bad theory mayneed a better theory to help them to recovery, just as you may need a tonic whenyou have been ill. But when things are normal a man should be healthy without atonic and happy without a theory. It is the simple things that really matter. Ifa man delights in his wife and children, has success in work, and finds pleasurein the alternation of day and night, spring and autumn, he will be happywhatever his philosophy may be. If, on the other hand, he finds his wifefateful, his childrens noise unendurable, and the office a nightmare; if in thedaytime he longs for night, and at night sighs for the light of day, then whathe needs is not a new philosophy but a new regimen----a different diet, or moreexercise, or what not.
Man is an animal, and his happiness depends on his physiology more than helikes to think. This is a humble conclusion, but I cannot make myself disbelieveit. Unhappy businessmen, I am convinced, would increase their happiness more bywalking six miles every day than by any conceivable change of philosophy.
道德家們常說(shuō)：幸福靠追求是得不到的。只有用不明智的方式去追求才是這樣。蒙特卡洛城的賭徒們追求金錢(qián)，但多數(shù)人卻把錢(qián)輸?shù)袅�，而另外一些追求金錢(qián)的辦法卻常常成功。追求幸福也是一樣。如果你通過(guò)暢飲來(lái)追求幸福，那你就忘記了酒醉后的不適。埃畢丘魯斯追求幸福的辦法是只和志趣相投的人一起生活，只吃不涂黃油的面包，節(jié)日才加一點(diǎn)奶酪。他的辦法對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)是成功的，但他是個(gè)體弱多病的人，而多數(shù)人需要的是精力充沛。就多數(shù)人來(lái)說(shuō)，除非你有別的補(bǔ)充辦法，這樣追求快樂(lè)就過(guò)于抽象和脫離實(shí)際，不宜作為個(gè)人的生活準(zhǔn)則。不過(guò)，我覺(jué)得無(wú)論你選擇什么樣的生活準(zhǔn)則，除了那些罕見(jiàn)的和英雄人物的例子外，都應(yīng)該是和幸福相容的。
很多人擁有獲得幸福的全部物質(zhì)條件，即健康的身體和豐足的收入，可是他們非常不快樂(lè)。就這種情況來(lái)說(shuō)，似乎問(wèn)題處在生活理論的錯(cuò)誤上。從某種意義上講，我們可以說(shuō)任何關(guān)于生活的理論都是不正確的'。我們和動(dòng)物的區(qū)別并沒(méi)有我們想象的那么大。動(dòng)物是憑沖動(dòng)生活的，只要客觀條件有利，它們就會(huì)快樂(lè)。如果你有一只貓，它只要有東西吃，感到暖和，偶爾晚上得到機(jī)會(huì)去尋歡，它就會(huì)很快活。你的需要比你的貓要復(fù)雜一些，但還是以本能為基礎(chǔ)的。在文明社會(huì)中，特別是在講英語(yǔ)的社會(huì)中，這一點(diǎn)很容易被忘卻。人們給自己定下一個(gè)最高的目標(biāo)，對(duì)一切不利于實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)的沖動(dòng)都加以克制。生意人可能因?yàn)榍型l(fā)財(cái)以致不惜犧牲健康和愛(ài)情。等他終于發(fā)了財(cái)，他除了苦苦勸人效法他的好榜樣而攪得別人心煩外，并沒(méi)有得到快樂(lè)。很多有錢(qián)的貴婦人，盡管自然并未賦予她們?nèi)魏涡蕾p文學(xué)或藝術(shù)的興趣，卻決意要使別人認(rèn)為她們是有教養(yǎng)的，于是他們花費(fèi)很多煩人的時(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)怎樣談?wù)撃切┝餍械男聲?shū)。這些書(shū)寫(xiě)出來(lái)是要給人以樂(lè)趣的，而不是要給人以附庸風(fēng)雅的機(jī)會(huì)的。
只要你觀察一下周?chē)切┠憧煞Q(chēng)之為幸福的男男女女，就會(huì)看出他們都有某些共同之處。在這些共同之處中有一點(diǎn)是最重要的：那就是活動(dòng)本身，它在大多數(shù)情況下本身就很有趣，而且可逐漸的使你的愿望得以實(shí)現(xiàn)。生性喜愛(ài)孩子的婦女，能夠從撫養(yǎng)子女中得到這種滿(mǎn)足。藝術(shù)家、作家和科學(xué)家如果對(duì)自己的工作感到滿(mǎn)意，也能以同樣的方式得到快樂(lè)。不過(guò)，還有很多是較低層次的快樂(lè)。許多在城里工作的人到了周末自愿地在自家的庭院里做無(wú)償?shù)膭趧?dòng)，春天來(lái)時(shí)，他們就可盡情享受自己創(chuàng)造的美景帶來(lái)的快樂(lè)。
在我看來(lái)，整個(gè)關(guān)于快樂(lè)的話(huà)題一向都被太嚴(yán)肅的對(duì)待過(guò)了。過(guò)去一直有這樣的看法：如果沒(méi)有一種生活的理論或者宗教信仰，人是不可能幸福的。也許那些由于理論不好才導(dǎo)致不快樂(lè)的人需要一種較好的理論幫助他們重新快活起來(lái)，就像你生過(guò)病需要吃補(bǔ)藥一樣。但是，正常情況下，一個(gè)人不吃補(bǔ)藥也應(yīng)當(dāng)是健康的;沒(méi)有理論也應(yīng)當(dāng)是幸福的。真正有關(guān)系的是一些簡(jiǎn)單的事情。如果一個(gè)男人喜愛(ài)他的妻子兒女，事業(yè)有成，而且無(wú)論白天黑夜，春去秋來(lái)，總是感到高興，那么不管他的理論如何，都會(huì)是快樂(lè)的。反之，如果他討厭自己的妻子，受不了孩子們的吵鬧，而且害怕上班;如果他白天盼望夜晚，而到了晚上又巴望著天明，那么，他所需要的就不是一種新的理論，而是一種新的生活----改變飲食習(xí)慣，多鍛煉身體等等。
人是動(dòng)物，他的幸福更多的時(shí)候取決于其生理狀況而非思想狀況。這是一個(gè)很庸俗的結(jié)論，然而我無(wú)法使自己懷疑它。我確信，不幸福的商人與其找到新的理論來(lái)使自己幸福，還不如每天步行六英里更見(jiàn)效。
