thanks for your attention.
a common concept among some people is that opportunities are few. they always complain that opportunities never occur to them. they only admire those people who make a hit or succeed by seizing some opportunities, and always wonder why they are never given a good opportunity to show their talent.
another common notion is that there are opportunities everywhere. opportunity may occur to anybody at any time and under any circumstances as long as he/she keeps ma-ki-ng constant efforts. as a student, you can get to the top through your hard work. as a businessman, you can succeed through accurate calculation and with a complete certainty that you can make a profit.
in my opinion, opportunity favors only those who keep trying and who are ready for it. as the saying goes "god helps those who help themselves", so no matter whether there's opportunity or not, what we should do is to study, to learn and become learned people, only in this way can you seize your opportunity when it occurs. so never say there's no opportunity again, opportunities are around us.

Ad see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting themselves as we advance; so, in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations. nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them. we have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on so forever. we look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseleprogress; and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave. it is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedneof our feelings in youth, that (so to speak) identifies us with nature, and (our experience being slight and our passions strong) deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it. our short-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation. as infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more-objects prearound us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.

ladies and gentlemen:
my great pleasure to share my dream with you today.i have kept the dream in my mind for so long that whoever in the sun is able to live a happy life for ever.
i think this dream is deeply rooted in the future. as we can see, we are now not far away from violence, poverty, diseases, environmental pollution and even
wars. most of people are in need of what they have never enjoyed. however, i still can stick to my innermost dream, as i still can see the bright lights in
our future. i believe, there will be a day when those from the rich counties are really willing to share what they have with those from the poor countries; there will be a day when we are surprised to find that the word poverty has long been out of our memories; there will be a day when we are together to share our dreams and we will all contribute to making our common dreams come true.
i will not just wait but to take action to live in my dream.
Thank you!

Dear Judges and Friends,
The topic for my speech today is “Festival.” I would like to talk about myfavorite festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In China we have several important festivals, such as the Spring Festival,the Lantern Festival, the Dragon-boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival.Among them, I like Mid-Autumn festival best, especially because I live inXiamen.
In Xiamen, when we celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival, we do not only followthe common practices such as having a big dinner party with our family, eatingmooncakes, and appreciating the full moon at night, we also have one uniquecustom which is only practiced in Xiamen, that is “Bo Bing”.
“Bo Bing” is a very interesting game that almost all Xiamen people playduring this festival. Usually family members or close friends get togetheraround a table with a big round bowl in the middle and six dices in the bowl. Wetake turns to throw the dices into the bowl. We will get different prizesaccroding to the different ways the dices show their upper sides. Everyone islikely to become the champion or “Zhuangyuan” for the year. There is an elementof luck and equal opportunity in this game. So people usually get excited whileplaying. Also, the game gives very pleasant sounds. The tinkling made by thedices falling into the bowl is pleasant, people’s laughing, cheering andapplauding for the big prizes they’ve won is pleasant. All this adds greatly tothe joyful atmosphere of this festival. As a kid, of course I also like thematerial prizes I get from the game, such as a candy or a cake.
In this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, my family invited our foreign friendsto come to our home to celebrate the Festival together. They have two childrenwho are younger than me. While our parents were making Jiaozi together, we kidsplayed “Bo Bing”. We bought quite some gifts to share with our guests as theirprizes.They enjoyed the game and our get-together very much.
The literal translation of “Bo Bing” is “mooncake gambling.” But actuallyit is not gambling, at least our family never plays it that way. For us, it ismore an occasion of happy sharing and getting-together. This is why Xiamen’sMid-Autumn Festival has become my favorite festival in the year.
Thank you very much!

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.
i remembered i used to fail on my vocabury test when i was in high school. i had problem to memorize new words which got lloose each day. i almost decided to give up english, but was obliged to one of my neighbour classmates who kept on sending small sheet for me. in the end of the semester, i found i had finished my vocabulary book which became a work force in reading english. i then realized that a new word came and left our brains for several times. nobody is born as genius for success. success tends to arrive after a serial of trials and failures.
of course, success brings confidence and victory. but, life is not always easy and comfortable. there are more difficulties than eases in the real life. it is likely that we have to face some failures ahead. therefore, those who learn how to deal and endure failures will taste their success eventuallyfailure 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.

Money is very important for us but is not the most important things in ourlife.Many things are more important than money ,such as friendship ,love ,andfamily ,and so on .We can use money to buy many things but for people's hearts.Apeople only care the money ,which is very sorrowful.Gradually,he will lose manythings that is more important than money.And last,he will become lonely.
Sometimes money can let many people gather and make friends with you.However,you have to know they may be not your true friends and they just wantyou money.A true friend never care whether his friend is poor or rich.A firendin need is a friend indeed.Having some sincere friends is the truehappiness.
Anyway,money can solve lots of problems but it can't bring you happinessbecause it can't buy a true heart.Please remember that some things in the worldis invaluable.So don't live only for money.

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.
Let’s show our right palms. We can see three lines that show how our love.career and life is. 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 me.Yeah, it is in our hands. It is held in ourselves.
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. 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.
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 now on, let’s be the owners of ourselves, and speak out “We are the world, we are the future.”

In China, almost every family has TV set in their house. Television has made great contribution to people’s daily lives and children’s education. Some people even think that television is one of the greatest inventions in the world.
But there is a good side and a bad side to everything and that includes the television.
On one hand, TV is a powerful educational tool that through it people know what is happening in the rest of the world. Because of television, people begin to understand different cultures and current affairs.
They know about the things they never knew before, they create their own opinions and form their sense of worth. The TV opens a brand-new door for them to explore the things they want to know. Many people may go traveling due to watch the beautiful scenes in TV.
On the other hand, some people may find them addicted to television, especially the young people.
They spend most of their free time watching TV programs instead of playing outside with their peers.
In this case, the children may lack of the ability of communicate effectively with others.
TV makes them isolated. What’ more, sometimes the TV programs may contain se-xual scenes or bloody scenes that not suitable for children to watch.
This will cause negative effects on them.
To sum up, I think television has both advantages and disadvantages, people should find a balance between it. Make the most use of it, don’t be the salves of it.

Distinguished leaders, distinguished judges, dear colleagues:
Everybody is good!
The title of my speech today is -- the attitude determines everything. In front of the working face, the attitude decides everything. No important work, only do not attach importance to the work of the people. Different attitude, different achievements in life, what kind of attitude will produce what kind of behavior, which determines the different results. There is such a story: three workers build a wall. A man came and asked them: "what are you doing?" The first man looked up and said with a wry smile: "cant you see? Wall! I am carrying those heavy stones do terribly. This is really tiring...... second people looked up and said with a wry smile: "we have to build a high-rise. But this job really is not easy ah...... third people smile said happily: "we are building a new city. The building we now cover the future will become one of the iconic city! Think of to be able to participate in such a project, is really exciting."
Ten years later, the first person still in the wall; second people sit in the office drawing -- he became engineer; third people, is the former owner of two people. Visible, a persons work attitude reflected the attitude of life, and life attitude determines a persons achievements in life. Everyone is working trajectory is different, some people become the mainstay of the unit, to realize their value; some people have been unsuccessfully; some people complain, always think different, but in theendstill nothing known, except for a few genius, most of theendowment is almost the same.
So, what makes us in, we decided? I want to be "attitude"! We do anything, the key to success is not the objective factors, but in our work attitude. Objective difficulties do exist, the key is we are facing difficulties, solve problems, or to avoid difficulties, give up in the face of difficulties, this is a question of attitude. Mr. Lu Xun said: "the true warrior, dare to face the bleak life, and dare to face up to the dripping blood". As long as we take a positive attitude in the face of difficulties, not intimidated by difficulties, must be able to overcome difficulties, to become a living and working in the warrior! In real life, we often hear such complaints: "work is very tired, very few" money, "do the same job, why he earns more than me?" "Why, leading only pay attention to him, he entrusted the task?" Indeed, indeed there are instances in practice. Work with emotions, certainly not a performance. Just imagine, the left hand side stood a positive attitude, the right hand side stood a get disheartened, everything shook his head and staff, leadership will make what kind of choice? Work and life needs passion and action, need to work, need a proactive, initiative, which requires us to take a positive attitude towards work towards others treat life.
A positive attitude to take responsibility, to be able to unite, to innovation, to deal with all kinds of complex problems. The attitude decides to choose! Attitude thoughts! Attitude determines destiny! Attitude decides everything! Let us startfromnow on, with a positive attitude to the courage to go beyond the self, and constantly improve themselves, to enrich our lives! Thank you.

as we know, you have to learn how to fly much more independently instead of under your parents’ considerate protection when you get into college, which also means you will come across enormous questions that should be solved by yourself. from my point of view, those main problems can fall into three parts.
first of all, the complicated relationship. for one thing, you have to know how cultural differences function in your relationship and respect them. in addition, college students spend less time studying together owing to different courses’ choosing, which requires us to devote more energy to building relationship. for the other thing, it is also vital to communicate with your parents often by using mobile phones or other tools.
secondly, the temptations. the college serves us a more relaxed environment mixed with other temptations such as the internet, alcohols and so on. what’s more, the college teachers won’t compel you to study like before, you doze off or play cell phone in class, and you flee up the morning class because you get up too late. such too frequent behaviors will cripple your passion and enthusiasm towards life, so it is essential for us to resist these temptations and insist pursuing our own goals.
thirdly, the balance between study and work. most of us will choose to take a part time job to earn the extra money or just to exercise ourselves. but it is significant to keep a relatively balanced relationship between them since i always regard the study as our main task, so my principle is adjusting work to follow the schedule of study.
in conclusion, whatever issues we meet or miseries we suffer from, confront the hash reality head on, what we can do is remembering the past, living in the present and looking forward to the future.

Keep your direction
What would you do if you failed? many people may choose to give up. however, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal.
On your way to success, you must keep your direction. it is just like a lamp, guiding you in darkness and helping you overcome obstacles on your way. otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.
Direction means objectives. you can get nowhere without an objective in life.
You can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieve it. in this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your time properly. and you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as long as you keep your direction all the time.

It’s not a matter of rosy cheeks,red lips or supple knees. It’s the matter of the will. It’s the freshneof thedeep spring of life.
A poet said “To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wildflower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. Severaldays ago, I had a chance to listen to a lecture. I learnt a lot there. I’d liketo share it with all of you. Let’s show our right palms. We can see three linesthat show how our love.career 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 me.Yeah, it is in our hands. Itis held in ourselves.
We all want the future to be better than the past. But the future can gobetter itself. Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened. From thepast, we’ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. We’ve learnt thatwe can’t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. Failure doesn’tmean 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 thefirst chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. The past has gone. Nothingwe do will change it. But the future is in front of us. Believe that what wegive to the world, the world will give to us. And from today on, let’s be theowners of ourselves, and speak out “We are the world, we are the future.”

East and West have met
runner-up: Rui Cheng gang, Foreign Affair College
Honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen:
Kipling said:" East is east, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet!" But now, a century later, they have met.
They have met in business. They have met in education. They have met in the arts.
Some would argue that these meetings leave us with a choice between East and West ,but I believe the best future lies in the creative combination of both worlds. We can make Western ideas, customs and technology our own, and adapt them to our own use. We can enjoy the best of all worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own.
But, do Western styles and values threaten our identity?
History makes it easy for us to think so-perhaps too easy.
Some people seem to think that adopting Western customs, such as a bride wearing white-which has long been a color of mourning in China, instead of the traditional Chinese red for her wedding, is another submission to foreign intervention,--a betrayal of our heritage, they say.
They fear that as we become "globalized", we will no longer be Chinese.
I do not agree.
History teachers that a strong and confident nation is at ease in hearing from the outside world.
The wedding of Eastern and Western cultures, whether in white gowns or red, brings us variety.
It is a rich banquet of special foods from all over the world.
As an amateur gourmet of Chinese cuisine, our superb flavours delight me.
But my Chinese taste appreciates food from any land.
I even allow the convenience of McDonald's a place in my life without giving up my good taste.
My grandfather taught me to hum tunes of Beijing opera from the time I was very young; they are deep in my spirit, part of my soul.
I love Beijing opera, because it always reminds me of who I am.
But I am also a fan of modern pop music, the No.1 fan of Spice Girls on campus.
of course, it goes far beyond food, music and dance. It goes into values and ways of thinking about the world.
Once upon a time, or so my teacher told me, a Chinese boy and an American girl had a squabble.
Both wanted to keep a bunny rabbit they had found in the garden.
Surely you've seen a rabbit sunning himself in the grass.
Nothing is more lovable, nothing more natural. No wonder they wanted him. The Chinese boy played his er-hu. Happiness and joy, longing and passion, filled the air. The little rabbit swayed gently and began to move his ears in the direction of the music. He liked what he heard.
The girl then took out her violin and played it to produce beautiful melodies of her own.
The rabbit began to bounce in her direction.
So intent were the children on their own music that neither paid the other any attention.
The competing melodies confused the little rabbit and he did not know which way to turn .Unable to attract the little creature, both children gave up ;they walked away, in different directions, leaving the rabbit. . .alone.
But, what if they listened ,what if they really heard each other's music, instead of always playing their own tunes?
When I hear the music of a violin ,rich with the joys of men and women who came together and sang and danced.. . I hear echoes of the music of the grass lands, of the hills, of the rivers...of my own native land.
Is music mine and yours, or is it ours?
What I want to hear is the er-hu and the violin played together, in rhythm and in tune. Together, we can produce new and beautiful music, rich with textures and sounds that can only be made in harmony.
The rabbit sits in the grass in the ever-warming sun. Waiting for us to play, waiting for the symphony to begin.
Will he have to wait forever? The choice is ours . Thank you.
尊敬的評委、女士們、先生們:吉卜林說過,“東方是東方,西方是西方,兩者永不聚!”然而如今,在一個世紀(jì)之后,東西方相聚了。
它們在貿(mào)易中相聚,在教育中相聚,在藝術(shù)中相聚。
有人爭論說這種東西方之聚,使得我們能夠在東西方中作出選擇.然而我相信最美好的未來在于東西方世界的創(chuàng)造性的結(jié)合,我們可以變西方的觀念、習(xí)俗、技術(shù)為己所有,為己所用;我們可以享受兩上不同世界之精華,總之,我們的傳統(tǒng)之一就是擇其精華,為己所用。
然而,西方的生活方式和價值會威脅到我們的民族特色嗎?
歷史讓我們輕易相信——也許是太輕易地讓我們相信此說了。
有人似乎認(rèn)為彩西方習(xí)俗,比如新娘結(jié)婚穿白色婚紗,是對外國介入的屈服,是對傳統(tǒng)遺產(chǎn)的背叛,因?yàn)榘粗袊鴤鹘y(tǒng),結(jié)婚新娘要穿紅色,而白色長期以來代表的是哀悼。
這些人擔(dān)心一量我們變得全球化,我們也就不在是中國人了。
我不這樣認(rèn)為。
歷史告訴我們:一個強(qiáng)大自信的民族學(xué)起外面的世界易如反掌 。
無論是穿白衣還是黑衣,還是東西方異質(zhì)文化的聯(lián)姻,都給我們帶來多姿多采的生活。
東西方異質(zhì)文化的聯(lián)姻是一席來自世界各地佳肴的盛宴。
身為中國菜的業(yè)余美食家,我喜歡民族的佳肴。
然而我的中國口味也欣賞異國的風(fēng)味。
生活中我為簡便吃麥當(dāng)勞,卻不會放棄自己的良好口味。
從小祖父就教我哼唱京劇,京劇深入我的精神之中,成為我靈魂的一部分。
我熱愛京劇,因?yàn)榫﹦∽屛铱傁肫鹱约菏钦l。
但是我也迷戀現(xiàn)代流行音樂,在學(xué)校里還是“辣味女孩”的頭號歌迷。
當(dāng)然,異質(zhì)文化的交流遠(yuǎn)不止于食物、音樂和舞蹈,它深入到價值觀和世界觀。 有一次老師給我講了一個中國男孩和一個美國女孩發(fā)生爭執(zhí)的故事。
在花園里他們倆發(fā)現(xiàn)了一只小兔,兩人都想要。
你肯定見過草叢中曬太陽的小兔。
沒什么東西比小兔子更可愛的,更富有自然情趣了,難怪他們兩人都想要它。
男孩拉起了二胡,愉快喜悅的琴聲,充滿了渴望和激情,回蕩在空中,小兔子聽著這音樂輕輕搖擺,耳朵轉(zhuǎn)向音樂,它喜愛男孩的琴聲。
女孩也取出小提琴,拉出悠揚(yáng)的旋律。
小兔子聽了朝她跑去。
兩人都全神貫注于自己的音樂,絲毫沒注意對方演奏的音樂。
交雜在一塊的音樂困惑了小兔子,它不知該朝哪走。男孩和女孩都不能將小兔子吸引過來,只好放棄,各自走開了,扔下小兔子獨(dú)自一人。
然而倘若他們傾聽對方的音樂,而不是各自為歌,那么結(jié)果會如何呢?
當(dāng)我聽到小提琴聲響起,男男女女走道一起又唱又跳,樂聲中充滿了歡樂, 此時我也聽見了草原上、山谷間、小河旁傳來得我們本民族的音樂的回聲。
音樂分你我,還是屬于我們大家?
我想聽的是二胡與小提琴的合奏,旋律與節(jié)奏和諧一致。
大家一起才能創(chuàng)造出新穎動聽音樂, 只有在和諧中大家才能創(chuàng)造出富有神韻的樂聲。
在溫暖的陽光中,小兔子在等待著我們一起演奏,等待著交響樂開始。
他有必要再永遠(yuǎn)的等下去嗎?決擇在于我們自己。謝謝。

i'm talking about your coworkers and your spouses and your children and the person sitting next to you right now -- all of them subject to this bias that is pretty deep and real in our society. we all internalize it from a very early age without even having a language for what we're doing.
now to see the bias clearly you need to understand what introversion is. it's different from being shy. shyness is about fear of social judgment. introversion is more about, how do you respond to stimulation, including social stimulation. so extroverts really crave large amounts of stimulation, whereas introverts feel at their most alive and their most switched-on and their most capable when they're in quieter, more low-key environments. not all the time -- these things aren't absolute -- but a lot of the time. so the key then to maximizing our talents is for us all to put ourselves in the zone of stimulation that is right for us.

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 “l(fā)ast 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 wonder.He 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(xué)主辦一次中學(xué)學(xué)生干部夏令營,邀我擔(dān)任輔導(dǎo)員。對于校園的多數(shù)活動,我都持贊同態(tài)度并積極參與,那次我同樣欣然接受了。
頭一天活動進(jìn)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(yuǎn)的地方,二百名充滿激情的營員正在玩耍、開玩笑并互作介紹,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(dú)令我?guī)缀蹼y以靠近,但我沒忘記資深輔導(dǎo)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(dǎo)員。很高興認(rèn)識你,你好嗎?”
帶著顫抖的怯生生的聲音,他勉強(qiáng)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(jié)識一些人,他輕聲回答:“不,那不關(guān)我的事。”
我能感覺到他在面對一個新的環(huán)境,這種體驗(yàn)對他來說是全然陌生的。也不知為什么,我覺得強(qiáng)迫他加入也不妥當(dāng)。他不需要鼓勵性的講,他需要的是朋友。幾次沉默之后,我和樹下男孩的接觸就此結(jié)束。
第二天吃午飯的時候,我扯開嗓門,領(lǐng)著二百名剛認(rèn)識的新朋友唱起了營歌。營員們都熱情參與,我的目光游移于這群人,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?guī)缀跬浟祟I(lǐng)唱的歌詞。只要一有機(jī)會,我就會照舊用那些話問他:“你怎么樣?你好嗎?”
他的回答依然是:“嗯,我很好。我真地不想?yún)⑴c那種事兒!
我離開自助餐廳的時候充分認(rèn)識到,扭轉(zhuǎn)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(dāng)晚的全體工作人員會議上,我告訴了他們我對他的擔(dān)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(guān)注,并盡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,露營的最后一晚來到了。我伴隨營員們跳起“最后的舞蹈”。學(xué)生們都在竭力品味跟新“摯友”在一起的最后每一刻——他們或許以后再也見不到面了。
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,在舞池里到處舞動。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(xué)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,我怎么會不記得呢?
“我記得。”我說,“他是個很不錯的小伙子,他現(xiàn)在情況怎么樣?”
長長的反常沉默過后,約翰遜夫人又說道:“湯米這個星期從學(xué);丶业臅r候,一輛汽車撞了他使他辭別人世!蔽腋械秸痼@,向她表示我的哀悼。
“我給您打電話,”她說,“只因?yàn)闇缀枚啻握f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(xué)習(xí)成績提高了,甚至還出去約會過幾次。我只想表達(dá)我的感激之情,因?yàn)槭悄淖兞怂。最后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(xiàn)出一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)還是容易得很,你可能永遠(yuǎn)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(dāng)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”。

I want to start by doing an experiment. I'mgoing to play three videos of a rainy day. But I've replaced the audio of oneof the videos, and instead of the sound of rain, I've added the sound of baconfrying. So I want you think carefully which one the clip with the bacon is.
我想用一個實(shí)驗(yàn)來開始我的演講。我將給你們播放三段雨天的視頻。不過我把其中一個視頻里的 音頻換成了別的,它不再是下雨的聲音,變成了煎培根的聲音。我想讓你們認(rèn)真聽,找出哪個視頻里是煎培根聲。
Raise your hand if you've ever been asked the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
如果你們曾被問過這個問題,請舉手“你長大之后想干什么?”
Now if you had to guess, how old would you say you were when you were first asked this question? You can just hold up fingers. Three. Five. Three. Five. Five. OK. Now, raise your hand if the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" has ever caused you any anxiety.
現(xiàn)在大家回想一下,你們第一次被問這個問題是多大?你們可以舉手指頭來示意一下。三歲,五歲,三歲,五歲,五歲,好的。接下來,如果剛剛說的這個問題,“你長大之后想干什么?”曾經(jīng)讓你感到焦慮,請舉手。
Any anxiety at all.
哪怕一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)焦慮。
I'm someone who's never been able to answer the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
我永遠(yuǎn)無法回答這個問題,“你長大之后想干什么?”
See, the problem wasn't that I didn't have any interests -- it's that I had too many. In high school, I liked English and math and art and I built websites and I played guitar in a punk band called Frustrated Telephone Operator. Maybe you've heard of us.
并不是說我沒有興趣愛好,而是我的興趣愛好太多。高中的時候,我喜歡英語、數(shù)學(xué)和藝術(shù),建過網(wǎng)站在一個叫“失意電話話務(wù)員”的朋克樂隊(duì)當(dāng)吉他手。也許你們還聽說過我們樂隊(duì)呢。
This continued after high school, and at a certain point, I began to notice this pattern in myself where I would become interested in an area and I would dive in, become all-consumed, and I'd get to be pretty good at whatever it was, and then I would hit this point where I'd start to get bored. And usually I would try and persist anyway, because I had already devoted so much time and energy and sometimes money into this field. But eventually this sense of boredom, this feeling of, like, yeah, I got this, this isn't challenging anymore -- it would get to be too much. And I would have to let it go.
高中畢業(yè)后我也依舊興趣廣泛,某一天,我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己有一個行為模式,我會對某一個領(lǐng)域感興趣,然后一頭扎進(jìn)去,認(rèn)真鉆研,變得越來越擅長,但到了某一個階段,我就會開始覺得無聊。通常我會繼續(xù)堅(jiān)持下去,因?yàn)槲乙呀?jīng)投入了很多時間和精力,有時候還有金錢。但是最終這種無聊的感覺,就像在說,哦,這事我已經(jīng)會了,已經(jīng)沒有任何挑戰(zhàn)了,再繼續(xù)也不會有多大成就了。我必須要放手。
But then I would become interested in something else, something totally unrelated, and I would dive into that, and become all-consumed, and I'd be like, "Yes! I found my thing," and then I would hit this point again where I'd start to get bored. And eventually, I would let it go. But then I would discover something new and totally different, and I would dive into that.
但之后我可能又會對另一些事感興趣,跟之前完全不同的領(lǐng)域,我又會一頭扎進(jìn)去,認(rèn)真鉆研,然后說,“太棒了!這就是我的菜!”之后我又會達(dá)到那個階段,開始覺得無聊。最后,我又會放棄。 之后我又會發(fā)現(xiàn)新的興趣,不同的領(lǐng)域 然后一頭扎進(jìn)去。
This pattern caused me a lot of anxiety, for two reasons. The first was that I wasn't sure how I was going to turn any of this into a career. I thought that I would eventually have to pick one thing, deny all of my other passions, and just resign myself to being bored. The other reason it caused me so much anxiety was a little bit more personal. I worried that there was something wrong with this, and something wrong with me for being unable to stick with anything. I worried that I was afraid of commitment, or that I was scattered, or that I was self-sabotaging, afraid of my own success.
這種模式讓我非常焦慮,原因有兩點(diǎn)。 一是我不確定 如何才能將這些興趣變成我的職業(yè)。 我覺得自己最終會從 (這些興趣)里面挑一個,而對其他愛好忍痛割愛, 做好將來一定會無聊的心理準(zhǔn)備。 讓我非常焦慮的第二個原因, 跟我自身有關(guān)。 我擔(dān)心自己的這種行為模式是錯的, 自己這么朝三暮四,是不是錯了。我是不是害怕做出承諾, 或者自由散漫,破罐子破摔, 懼怕成功。
If you can relate to my story and to these feelings, I'd like you to ask yourself a question that I wish I had asked myself back then. Ask yourself where you learned to assign the meaning of wrong or abnormal to doing many things. I'll tell you where you learned it: you learned it from the culture.
如果你能理解我的故事和我的感受,請你們問自己一個問題,這個問題我早就該問自己的。就是,你是從哪里學(xué)到該如何判斷我們的所作所為是錯誤的或者不正常的。 我來告訴你答案: 是從我們的文化中學(xué)到的。
We are first asked the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" when we're about five years old. And the truth is that no one really cares what you say when you're that age.
我們第一次被問到“你長大之后想干什么?”是在差不多五歲的時候。其實(shí)像你那么大的時候沒有人會真的關(guān)心你說了什么。
It's considered an innocuous question, posed to little kids to elicit cute replies, like, "I want to be an astronaut," or "I want to be a ballerina," or "I want to be a pirate." Insert Halloween costume here.
這僅僅是一個無傷大雅的問題,為的是讓小朋友做出可愛的回應(yīng),比如,“我想當(dāng)宇航員”,或者“我想當(dāng)芭蕾舞演員”,或者“我想當(dāng)海盜”。此處應(yīng)加萬圣節(jié)服裝的特效。
But this question gets asked of us again and again as we get older in various forms -- for instance, high school students might get asked what major they're going to pick in college. And at some point, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" goes from being the cute exercise it once was to the thing that keeps us up at night. Why?
然而這個問題,在我們成長的過程中會不斷被問到形式多種多樣,比如,高中生會被問到,你們在大學(xué)準(zhǔn)備選什么專業(yè)。突然有一天, “你長大之后想干什么?” 從原本一種秀可愛的方式 變成了讓我們寢食難安的難題。為什么會這樣?
See, while this question inspires kids to dream about what they could be, it does not inspire them to dream about all that they could be. In fact, it does just the opposite, because when someone asks you what you want to be, you can't reply with 20 different things, though well-meaning adults will likely chuckle and be like, "Oh, how cute, but you can't be a violin maker and a psychologist. You have to choose."
盡管這個問題鼓勵小朋友想象自己將來要做什么,但它并未給小朋友充分想象的自由。恰恰相反,它限制了小朋友想象的自由,因?yàn)橛腥藛柲汩L大后想做什么,你不可能回答20種不同的職業(yè),盡管有些善良的大人會笑呵呵地說,“哦,你太可愛了,但是你不能同時成為小提琴制作家和心理學(xué)家啊。你必須選一個!
This is Dr. Bob Childs -- and he's a luthier and psychotherapist. And this is Amy Ng, a magazine editor turned illustrator, entrepreneur, teacher and creative director. But most kids don't hear about people like this. All they hear is that they're going to have to choose. But it's more than that. The notion of the narrowly focused life is highly romanticized in our culture. It's this idea of destiny or the one true calling, the idea that we each have one great thing we are meant to do during our time on this earth, and you need to figure out what that thing isand devote your life to it.
這位是鮑勃·柴爾茲博士,他是一名弦樂器工匠和心理醫(yī)生。這位是艾米·恩,之前是雜志編輯,后來成為插畫作家,企業(yè)家教師和創(chuàng)意總監(jiān)。但大部分孩子都沒聽說過他們。他們聽到的只是要他們進(jìn)行選擇和取舍。 事情遠(yuǎn)不止這么簡單。 一生都心無旁騖的這一觀念, 在我們的文化中被過分浪漫化了。 這種命運(yùn)論或者說 “命中注定的職業(yè)”的概念, 意思是我們每個人都有一份 命中注定的偉大事業(yè),我們需要找到它, 并為之奮斗一生。
But what if you're someone who isn't wired this way? What if there are a lot of different subjects that you're curious about, and many different things you want to do? Well, there is no room for someone like you in this framework. And so you might feel alone. You might feel like you don't have a purpose. And you might feel like there's something wrong with you. There's nothing wrong with you. What you are is a multipotentialite.
但如果你不是這樣的人呢?如果你對很多事都有好奇心,想去嘗試各種各樣的職業(yè)呢?那么在現(xiàn)有體系中,你很難有容身之處。你也許會感到孤獨(dú)。你也許會覺得自己沒有目標(biāo)。你也許會覺得自己是不是有問題。你沒有問題。你是一名“多重潛力者”。
A multipotentialite is someone with many interests and creative pursuits. It's a mouthful to say. It might help if you break it up into three parts: multi, potential, and ite. You can also use one of the other terms that connote the same idea, such as polymath, the Renaissance person. Actually, during the Renaissance period, it was considered the ideal to be well-versed in multiple disciplines. Barbara Sher refers to us as "scanners." Use whichever term you like, or invent your own. I have to say I find it sort of fitting that as a community, we cannot agree on a single identity.
“多重潛力者”擁有多種興趣并且追求創(chuàng)新。聽起來很費(fèi)解吧。如果把它拆成三部分可能比較好理解:多重的,有潛力的,人。你也可以用其他詞來表述類似的意思,比如“博學(xué)者”,或者“文藝復(fù)興者”。實(shí)際上,在文藝復(fù)興時代,精通多個學(xué)科是非常被推崇的。芭芭拉·謝爾稱我們?yōu)椤皰呙鑳x”。你可以選擇一個自己喜歡的詞,或者創(chuàng)造一個新的。我感覺自己找到了組織,因?yàn)槲覀儫o法接受只有一種身份。
It's easy to see your multipotentiality as a limitation or an affliction that you need to overcome. But what I've learned through speaking with people and writing about these ideas on my website, is that there are some tremendous strengths to being this way. Here are three multipotentialite super powers.
人們很容易把多重潛力視為一種局限或者痛苦,需要克服。但我通過與人們交流,以及把這些觀點(diǎn)發(fā)到我的網(wǎng)站上,我發(fā)現(xiàn)多重潛力者有很多優(yōu)點(diǎn)。多重潛力者擁有三種“超能力”。
One: idea synthesis. That is, combining two or more fields and creating something new at the intersection.Sha Hwang and Rachel Binx drew from their shared interests in cartography, data visualization, travel, mathematics and design, when they founded Meshu. Meshu is a company that creates custom geographically-inspired jewelry. Sha and Rachel came up with this unique idea not despite, but because of their eclectic mix of skills and experiences. Innovation happens at the intersections. That's where the new ideas come from. And multipotentialites, with all of their backgrounds, are able to access a lot of these points of intersection.
第一是產(chǎn)生創(chuàng)意。就是說,結(jié)合兩個或兩個以上領(lǐng)域從結(jié)合處尋求創(chuàng)新。黃沙和瑞秋·賓克斯找到了共同的興趣愛好,像制圖,數(shù)據(jù)可視化,旅行,數(shù)學(xué)和設(shè)計,之后他們創(chuàng)辦了Meshu。 Meshu是一家定制珠寶公司,專門制作具有地域特色的珠寶。黃沙和瑞秋之所以能產(chǎn)生這個獨(dú)特的創(chuàng)意,正是因?yàn)樗麄z博學(xué)多才,經(jīng)歷豐富。創(chuàng)新來源于交叉處。新創(chuàng)意(大都)來源于此。而多重潛力者,擁有豐富的(知識)背景,能夠在各領(lǐng)域交叉處找到突破點(diǎn)。
The second multipotentialite superpower is rapid learning. When multipotentialites become interested in something, we go hard. We observe everything we can get our hands on. We're also used to being beginners, because we've been beginners so many times in the past, and this means that we're less afraid of trying new things and stepping out of our comfort zones. What's more, many skills are transferable across disciplines, and we bring everything we've learned to every new area we pursue, so we're rarely starting from scratch.
多重潛力者的第二種超能力是快速學(xué)習(xí)。當(dāng)多重潛力者對某件事產(chǎn)生興趣時, 我們會全身心投入。 我們仔細(xì)觀察,勤于實(shí)踐。 我們已經(jīng)習(xí)慣于當(dāng)初學(xué)者,因?yàn)槲覀冞^去曾當(dāng)過無數(shù)次初學(xué)者, 我們不怕嘗試新事物, 勇于走出舒適區(qū)。 除此以外,很多能力在各個學(xué)科都是通用的, 我們將之前所學(xué)用于新領(lǐng)域, 而不用從零開始。
Nora Dunn is a full-time traveler and freelance writer. As a child concert pianist, she honed an incredible ability to develop muscle memory. Now, she's the fastest typist she knows.
諾拉·鄧恩是一位全職旅行家和自由作家。作為一名兒童鋼琴演奏家,她磨練出了非凡的能力來發(fā)展肌肉記憶。因此,她是她所有認(rèn)識的人中打字最快的。
Before becoming a writer, Nora was a financial planner. She had to learn the finer mechanics of sales when she was starting her practice, and this skill now helps her write compelling pitches to editors. It is rarely a waste of time to pursue something you're drawn to, even if you end up quitting. You might apply that knowledge in a different field entirely, in a way that you couldn't have anticipated.
在當(dāng)作家之前,諾拉是一名理財師。在初入這行的時候,她不得不學(xué)習(xí)一些高明的銷售技巧,如今這項(xiàng)技能被她用來給編輯寫精彩的推薦語。追求你感興趣的東西并不是浪費(fèi)時間,即使最后你并沒有堅(jiān)持到底。也許將來你會把這些知識用在一個完全不同的領(lǐng)域,用一種你完全預(yù)料不到的方式。
The third multipotentialite superpower is adaptability; that is, the ability to morph into whatever you need to be in a given situation. Abe Cajudo is sometimes a video director, sometimes a web designer, sometimes a Kickstarter consultant, sometimes a teacher, and sometimes, apparently, James Bond.
第三種“超能力”是適應(yīng)性。 也就是說,如果有需要, 你能變成任何角色, 以適應(yīng)不同的情況。 艾比·卡胡多有時候是視頻導(dǎo)演, 有時候是網(wǎng)站設(shè)計師, 有時候是眾籌顧問, 有時候是老師, 有時候,很明顯,是詹姆斯·邦德。
He's valuable because he does good work. He's even more valuable because he can take on various roles,depending on his clients' needs. Fast Company magazine identified adaptability as the single most important skill to develop in order to thrive in the 21st century. The economic world is changing so quickly and unpredictably that it is the individuals and organizations that can pivot in order to meet the needs of the market that are really going to thrive.
他擁有出色的工作能力。更重要的是他可以隨時切換自己的角色,來滿足客戶的需要!犊旃尽冯s志認(rèn)為,要想在21世紀(jì)取得成功,適應(yīng)性是最重要的一項(xiàng)技能。經(jīng)濟(jì)界的變化如此迅速且無法預(yù)測,那些能夠根據(jù)市場需要進(jìn)行調(diào)整的個人和公司才有可能取得成功。
Idea synthesis, rapid learning and adaptability: three skills that multipotentialites are very adept at, and three skills that they might lose if pressured to narrow their focus. As a society, we have a vested interest in encouraging multipotentialites to be themselves. We have a lot of complex, multidimensional problems in the world right now, and we need creative, out-of-the-box thinkers to tackle them.
產(chǎn)生創(chuàng)意,快速學(xué)習(xí)和適應(yīng)性是多重潛力者非常擅長的三種能力,如果強(qiáng)迫他們縮小自己的關(guān)注范圍,這三種能力也許就會喪失。作為一個社會,鼓勵多重潛力者保持本色對我們有利。我們?nèi)缃衩媾R許多復(fù)雜問題,涉及許多方面, 我們需要有創(chuàng)意的、能破除思維定式的 思想者來解決這些問題。
Now, let's say that you are, in your heart, a specialist. You came out of the womb knowing you wanted to be a pediatric neurosurgeon. Don't worry -- there's nothing wrong with you, either.
我們假設(shè),內(nèi)心深處,你是一名專家。你從打娘胎里出來就知道你想當(dāng)一名兒童神經(jīng)外科醫(yī)生。別擔(dān)心,即使這樣你也挺正常的。
In fact, some of the best teams are comprised of a specialist and multipotentialite paired together. The specialist can dive in deep and implement ideas, while the multipotentialite brings a breadth of knowledge to the project. It's a beautiful partnership. But we should all be designing lives and careers that are aligned with how we're wired. And sadly, multipotentialites are largely being encouraged simply to be more like their specialist peers.
事實(shí)上,一些頂尖團(tuán)隊(duì)就是由專家和多重潛力者搭配組成。專家可以深入研究,實(shí)踐想法,而多重潛力者可以為項(xiàng)目帶來更廣泛的知識支持。這是一種美妙的合作。但是我們都應(yīng)該根據(jù)自己的天賦來規(guī)劃與之相適應(yīng)的人生和職業(yè)。不幸的是,多重潛力者往往被要求成為(剛剛提到的)團(tuán)隊(duì)中的那個專家。
So with that said, if there is one thing you take away from this talk, I hope that it is this: embrace your inner wiring, whatever that may be. If you're a specialist at heart, then by all means, specialize. That is where you'll do your best work. But to the multipotentialites in the room, including those of you who may have just realized in the last 12 minutes that you are one --
所以,如果你從今天的演講中學(xué)到了一件事的話,我希望會是: 接受你內(nèi)心的真實(shí)想法。 如果你是專家型的人, 那就用盡一切辦法,成為專家。你會干得非常不錯。 但對于在座的多重潛力者們, 包括那些在過去的12分鐘里 剛剛意識到自己是多重潛力者的人。
To you I say: embrace your many passions. Follow your curiosity down those rabbit holes. Explore your intersections. Embracing our inner wiring leads to a happier, more authentic life. And perhaps more importantly -- multipotentialites, the world needs us.Thank you.
我要對你們說:接受你的眾多愛好。保持你的好奇心。探索(不同領(lǐng)域的)交叉地帶。讓真實(shí)的自我引領(lǐng)我們?nèi)ミ^更快樂、更真實(shí)的人生。也許更重要的是,(我們是)多重潛力者,這個世界需要我們。謝謝大家。

Alright, well I've been asked to talk about something beautiful and I'd like to choose the White Cloud Temple. It is located in Beijing and it's on the west side of town. It's not that far away from a subway station, but you would need to take a bus, because it's a bit far to walk. I go there probably two or more times a year. It's a Taoist temple, probably the most active Taoist temple in Beijing. I'm a Taoist. But I go there more than just to pray. I really try to take a trip to find some time to rediscover myself. During the Spring Festival people jam into it because they hold what I think is the best carnival during Spring Festival. We call them Miao Huis. At that time the temple is very crowded, but most other times it's quite peaceful, and it's a good place to get away from all the people.
I think the reason it's so beautiful is because it is simple and it seems to blend in well with its environment. The small praying hall is very serene. It has a nice pool and a bridge. The Taoist motifs are quite simple but I think they are very charming. I love to go there during the winter after a big snowfall because it's at this time that it seems to be most mysterious. I choose this as the most beautiful because, to me, beauty is simplicity and natural design, and it also means it fits the environment it is in. I don't really like grand, elaborate temples. I prefer temples that seem powerful not because of their structures but because they are perfect for their simple beauty.

Good morning, honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen:
Its a great honor to stand here. my topic is: the color of where we live.
I once read a poem, which greatly shocked me. let me share it with you: “chimneys have grown into forests; armored concrete blocks our view; there is no longer green within sight. where is the clear sky? where is the blue sea? where is the fresh air?”
I remember, when i was a child, there was a yard behind my house. i used to sit with my grandma under a big tree. in the tree, birds were chirping and dancing happily and freely. with grandma’s soft cradlesongs and birds’ singing, i would quickly fall into a sleep of sweet dreams. at that time the sky was so blue and clear. at night, twinkling stars dotted the sky. the verdant leaves and their fragrance impressed me so much that i still have a clear picture of them in my mind even today.
But now i can hardly hear a bird sing, the fragrance can only be found in the depths of my memory, and stars have hidden themselves behind gray buildings and even the sky is gray. i dont know when things began to change. but what i do know is that pollution and waste disposal have presented serious challenges to our society. environmental pollution is just like pandoras bo, and we are the victims.
We must do something to change this terrible condition. hosting the beijing olympics gives us a great opportunity to show the world it can be done. “green olympics”, one of the three basic themes of beijing olympic games, is our promise to the world that we will work towards cleaning up our environment.
Therefore every one of us should take some practical actions. you might say, “but i am just an ordinary citizen. what can i do? i have no responsibility.” but in my opinion, we can start with small things like our daily routine, such as not to litter, avoid using disposable food containers, cups and chopsticks, save every drop of water and so on. we must always remember that it is necessary for everyone to participate in order to save our planet.
Remember green is the color of life, green is the color of nature, and green is the color of the world. green will be a symbol of beijing in the near future! let us work together and keep green alive forever!
Thank you.
