I received a devastating blow to my self-confidence in the first interview of my college years. I applied to be a host in our Student Acting Troupe and felt confident that I would be accepted. But one of the panel members told me: "You seem inadequate and you are a little vertically-challenged." My life has never been the same since. I used bigger heels to complement my height and psychological maneuvers and tricks to hide my lack of confidence. But no matter how hard I tried to look the part, there was still something missing.

As president of English Club, I organized the rehearsal of Snow White for an English party. Unfortunately, we could not find an actor to be the last dwarf. It had to be someone who was humorous by nature and fluent in English. Suddenly, all eyes turned to me, and I knew I would have to be the dwarf. To my great surprise and delight, once on stage, I was totally absorbed in the performance and my humorous nature was put to full use. As the dwarf, I was a big hit.

Yes, each of us is only one among millions of others, but each of us is an individual and each of us is unique. Cultivating our individuality will transform our lives, making of them a kaleidoscope of new colors and textures.

A world deprived of diversity would be a bland and boring place. The real tragedy is not being short or shy or ugly, but having your identity lost in a world in which everyone is a clone of a model cool boy or a flawless charming girl.

Given a choice, I would rather be ugly than live in such a world. I'd rather be a genuine dwarf accompanying a Snow White than be a Snow White among nothing but Snow Whites. I would rather be myself. I would contribute my individual and unique colors to create a more diverse universe. Please, be yourself.

the east and the west, let’s enjoy the combination of the two cultures?

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 people will argue that these meetings will leave us with a choice between east and west, but i believe that 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 both worlds, because our tradition is, above all, one of selecting the best and making it our own.

i love beijing and hennan opera because it always reminds me of who i am. but i am also a fan of pop music, especially english songs. so i have combined eastern melody with western language. it is called western henna opera.

when two cultures meet, there may be things in one culture, which do not fit into the tradition of the other. when this happens, we need to learn to understand and respect the customs of another culture. then there are certain things some people may not like. to this, i will say, if you do not like it, please try to tolerate it. to learn to tolerate what you personally don’t like is a great virtue at a time when different cultures mix and merge. before us, there are two rivers, eastern and western cultures. at present, they may run in different courses. but eventually, they will converge into the vast sea of human culture.

right now, i can see peoples of eastern and western cultures, standing side by side, singing the olympic theme song: we are hand in hand, heart to heart, together we will shape a beautiful tomorrow! thank you!

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.

asking the devotees of civil rights, "when will you be satisfied?" we can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. we cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. we can never be satisfied as long as a negro in mississippi cannot vote and a negro in new york believes he has nothing for which to vote. no, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousnelike a mighty stream.

出氣就會心滿意足的人將大失所望。在黑人得到公民權之前，美國既不會安寧，也不會平靜。反抗的旋風將繼續震撼我們國家的基石，直至光輝燦爛的正義之日來臨。

but there is something that i must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. in the proceof gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterneand hatred.

但是，對於站在通向正義之宮艱險門檻上的人們，有一些話我必須要說。在我們爭取合法地位的過程中，切不要錯誤行事導致犯罪。我們切不要吞飲仇恨辛酸的苦酒，來解除對於自由的飲渴。

we must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. we must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.

我們應該永遠得體地、紀律嚴明地進行鬥爭。我們不能容許我們富有創造性的抗-議淪爲暴-力行動。我們應該不斷昇華到用靈魂力量對付肉體力量的崇高境界。

the marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.

席捲黑人社會的新的奇蹟般的戰鬥精神，不應導致我們對所有白人的不信任——因爲許多白人兄弟已經認識到：他們的命運同我們的命運緊密相連，他們的自由同我們的自由休慼相關。他們今天來到這裏參加集會就是明證。

we cannot walk as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. we cannot turn back. there are those who are.

Vice President Johnson, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chief Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman, reverend clergy, fellow citizens:

We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom -- symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning -- signifying renewal, as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.

The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe -- the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.

We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans -- born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge -- and more.

To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do -- for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder. To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom -- and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.

To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required -- not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special pledge: to convert our good words into good deeds, in a new alliance for progress, to assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the Americas. And let every other power know that this hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.

To that world assembly of sovereign states, the United Nations, our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace, we renew our pledge of support -- to prevent it from becoming merely a forum for invective, to strengthen its shield of the new and the weak, and to enlarge the area in which its writ may run. Finally, to those nations who would make themselves our adversary, we offer not a pledge but a request: that both sides begin anew the quest for peace, before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction.

We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed. But neither can two great and powerful groups of nations take comfort from our present course -- both sides overburdened by the cost of modern weapons, both rightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom, yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind's final war.

So let us begin anew -- remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.

Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us. Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms, and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations.

Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce.

Let both sides unite to heed, in all corners of the earth, the command of Isaiah -- to "undo the heavy burdens, and [to] let the oppressed go free." And, if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor -- not a new balance of power, but a new world of law -- where the strong are just, and the weak secure, and the peace preserved. All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days; nor in the life of this Administration; nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.

In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe. Now the trumpet summons us again -- not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need -- not as a call to battle, though embattled we are -- but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation," a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself. Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort? In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility -- I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it. And the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.

The classmates:

Hello, everyone. Today, the topic of my speech is: friendship.

Whether sentimental verse, beautiful article, or the joy of leisure, what all can't take the place of close friendship. This is Russia - the famous writers pushkin said a word. Friend, have you ever thought about, honest valuable, the friendship is the normal psychological need. A famous British writer made such an analogy: "if you have an apple, I have an apple, each other exchange, so, everyone has only one apple; if you have a thought, I have a thought, exchange each other, and each of us has two ideas, even more than the two thoughts." It is enough to prove, the friendship makes one share more joy and happiness, help resolve problems and sad, also can promote our progress.

Among friends, however, must be in trouble. Can not stand the test of not a true friendship. Therefore, the most precious friendship is this: when a friend need to help them with sincere friendship to remove the worry, dissolve the depressed, build up confidence and overcome the difficulties.

Sincere friendship is what everyone desire, but what kind of friendship is sincere? Is genuine equality between friends, help mutual understanding, have a common pursuit. "Sincerity is the hotbed of friendship." We only in sincere to establish on the basis of equality friendship and keep it up. Help mutual understanding is the most basic content of friendship. Dickens once said that forgiveness is a noble quality, a noble virtue. China has an old saying well said "simultaneous corresponding, sympathies." Good, common pursuit is spiritual bond, unite the people closely together.

Can make the miles of space that intervene between a man and close friendship, the friendship can make our days together as flowing, the friendship can leave on the way we passed the deep foot sakura when young time of reincarnation gently slip from our side, leaving traces of is meaningful. That is precious memories of Egypt

Friend, please treat every friend around you, that is always sincere in your spiritual wealth.

同學們：

大家好。今天，我演講的題目是：友情。

不論是多情的詩句，漂亮的文章，還是閒暇的快樂，什麼都不能代替親密的友情。這是俄-國著名作家普希金說過的一句話。朋友，你們可曾想過，友誼誠可貴，也是正常心理的需要。一位著名的英國作家作過這麼一個比喻：“如果你有一個蘋果，我有一個蘋果，彼此交換，那麼，每個人只有一個蘋果;如果你有一個思想，我有一個思想，彼此交換，我們每個人就有了兩個思想，甚至多於兩個思想。”這足以證明，友誼使人分享更多的歡樂和幸福，有助於排解煩惱和憂愁，還能夠促進我們進步。

然而，朋友間必須是患難相濟的。經不起考驗的不算是真正的友情。因此，友誼的最珍貴之處就在於此：在朋友需要的時候，以真摯的友誼去幫助他們排除煩惱、化解鬱悶，樹立信心和克服困難。

真摯的友誼是人人所向往的，但什麼樣的友誼纔是真摯的呢?是朋友間真誠平等，互幫互諒，有着共同的追求。“真誠是友誼的溫牀。”我們只有在真誠平等的基礎上才能夠建立起友誼並保持下去。互幫互諒是友誼的最基本內容。狄更斯曾說過，寬恕是一種高貴的品質，一種崇高的美德。中國有句老話說得好“同聲相應，同氣相求。”不錯，共同追求是精神的紐帶，把人與人緊緊地聯結在一起。

友誼能使人與人之間的距離拉近，友誼能使彼此在一起的日子如行雲流水，友誼能在我們走過的路上留下深厚的腳櫻當年輕時光的輪迴從我們身邊輕輕滑過，留下的卻是雋永的痕跡。那就是珍貴的'回憶埃

朋友，請善待身邊的每一個朋友，那是你精神中永遠真誠的財富。

I grew up with all kinds of dreams. Today I want to share two of them. They both have to do with playing musical instruments.

When I was four, Mom bought me an electric piano. The black instrument standing in the middle of the house scared me. Day after day, I had to practice with my piano teacher. I never liked her, and all I could remember about her was her impatient words, “Wrong,” “Wrong” and “Wrong” again. And Mom was always on her side, saying I was not smart enough or I did not practice hard enough.

I did this for a year, but I never developed any interest. I practiced everyday simply because I had to. Many times in my dreams, I saw the long faces of Mom and the teacher and heard their stern words. Really, the dream should be more appropriately called a nightmare. Then one day, I saw Mom talk with the piano teacher softly, and afterwards, that teacher never showed up again, and the piano disappeared, too. Mom was unhappy, but I was glad because now I could watch cartoon shows on TV after dinner, never again any piano.

In a few years’ time, the dream of another instrument started, and it started during an urheen or erhu concert given by a distinguished musician. The melodious tune carried me away, and I felt I was lying on the grassland, indulging myself with mild sunshine and sweet flowers. As the music stopped, I realized this had been a beautiful dream, and I would like to continue this dream. That musician later on became my urheen teacher. For two years, he made me practice one hour every day, and the objective was to have me play urheen with him on the same stage. Whenever I made a mistake, he would also be quite harsh and made me practice even more. The pressure was indeed unbearable, but at the same time, the dream that started during that concert continued. When I was practicing, the dream seemed to carry me away, and moreover, my parents seemed to be in the dream too. They sat and listened quietly, as if they were also lying on the grassland, enjoying the sunshine and flowers. Anyhow, pressure was mingled with passion, and they worked together in pushing me forward. Each step of progress came from hard work but also brought immense pleasure.

I admit that in the world of urheen, I was lucky in finding a balance between pressure and passion. In real life, however, there is often too much pressure, but too little passion, just like my piano nightmare. From primary school on, we have been forced to study day and night, to take tests every day, to copy vocabulary items five times and to recite every lesson in front of the teacher. All the dreams pupils have are the long faces of their teachers and parents, but not dreams with sunshine and flowers.

I hope all teachers will realize that learning cannot go on without passion. I still remember my first urheen performance with my teacher. I was under much stress and didn’t sleep much the night before because I knew if I screwed up, it would also affect his reputation. When I walked onto the stage, I was so nervous that I almost held the urheen upside down. When the lights went on, to my great surprise, I saw my parents, fellow students and other teachers sitting on the first few rows, with big smile on their faces. It was just like the time when I was practicing. Passion suddenly overwhelmed me, and I played so well that night that even my urheen teacher didn’t know why. Of course I knew it, and I know my dream of playing urheen will continue.

Not long after an old Chinese woman came back to China from her visit to her daughter in the States, she went to a city bank to deposit the US dollars her daughter gave her. At the bank counter, the clerk checked each note carefully to see if the money was real. It made the old lady out of patience.

At last she could not hold any more, uttering. "Trust me, Sir, and trust the money. They are real US dollars. They are directly from America."

它們是從美國直接帶來的

一位中國老婦人在美國看望女兒回來不久，到一家市銀行存女兒送給她的美元。在銀行櫃檯，銀行職員認真檢查了每一張鈔票，看是否有假。

這種做法讓老婦人很不耐煩，最後實在忍耐不住說：“相信我，先生，也請你相信這些鈔票。這都是真正的美元，它們是從美國直接帶來的。”

results are not important, but they can persist for many years as a commemoration of . many years ago, as a result of habits and overeating formed one of obesity, as well as indicators of overall physical disorders, so that affects my work and life. in friends to encourage and supervise, the participated in the team now considered to have been more than three years, neither the fine rain, regardless of winter heat, a day out with5:00 time. the beginning, have been discouraged, suffering, and disappointment, but in the end of the urging of friends, to re-get up, stand on the playground.

in fact, i did not build big, nor strong muscles, not a sport-born people. over the past few years to adhere to it, because i have a team behind, the strength of a strong team here, very grateful to our team, for a long time, we encourage each other, and with sweat, enjoying common health happy. for example, friends of the several run in order to maintain order and unable to attend the10,000 meters race, and they are always concerned about the brothers and promptly inform the place and time, gives us confidence and courage. at the same time, also came on their own inner desire and pursuit for a good health, who wrote many of their own log in order to refuel for their own, and inspiring.

as the saying goes: steed leap, not ten steps, ten inferior horse riding, gong-in give up. indeed, a much needed one and give up the spirit of wedge. adhering to the this is indeed a need for very perseverance. insist on a day to rest in accordance with the fixed time, leisurely days gone lax, especially late at night to rest and change the way of life, which seems young, it is inconceivable, and since five o"clock the morning, a little bright days, it is a good time to dream. a friend of mine has a joke that you had on the old age. in fact, we have no longer a dream, only to establish goals, determined to move forward towards a direction, will eventually achieve the ideal. assessment units have been my female colleagues as the most stamina of men, i would like them to the high uation, perhaps i am more dedicated to see their side.

say, the organization also realized the purpose of running fitness.

成績並不重要，但可以作爲堅持多年晨跑的一個紀念。多年前，由於庸懶習慣和暴飲暴食，形成了一身的肥胖，以及體檢指標的全盤失常，以致於影響到了我的工作和生活。在好友的鼓勵和督促下，參加了晨跑隊伍。現在算來，已經三年多了，無論天晴下雨，不管寒冬酷暑，每天五點準時起來出門晨跑。開始時，也曾氣餒過、痛苦過、失望過，但最後都在好友們的催促下，重新爬起來，站到了操場上。牐

其實我沒有高大身材，也沒健壯肌肉，天生不屬於運動型的人。幾年來能夠堅持下來，因爲我的背後有一個團隊，有着強大團隊的力量，在這裏，非常感謝我們的晨跑隊，長期以來，我們相互鼓勵着，一起流汗，共同享受着健康帶來的快樂。比如這次幾位跑友爲了維持秩序，未能參加萬米跑，而他們卻時刻關心着兄弟們狀況，及時通報名次和時間，給我們帶來了信心和勇氣。同時，也來於自己內心的渴望和執着的追求，爲了一個健康的體魄，曾爲自己的晨跑寫過許多日誌，以此來爲自己加油、鼓勁。牐

俗話說：“騏驥一躍，不能十步，駑馬十駕，功在不捨”。真的，人非常需要這種楔而不捨的精神。在堅持晨跑這件上，確實是需要非常毅力的。每天要堅持早睡早起，要按照固定的作息時間，悠閒散漫的日子一去不返，特別是晚上不能休息太遲，改變了生活方式，這在年輕人看來，簡直是不可思議的事，因爲早上五點鐘，天微微亮，正是做夢的好時光。曾經有朋友笑話說，你們都過上了老年生活。實際上，我們已經不能再做夢了，只有樹立目標，下定決心，勇往直前地朝着一個方向前進，理想終將實現。曾經單位女同事評我爲“最有毅力男人”，我想她們給了過高的評價，或許她們看到我比較執着的一面吧。牐

登上了全縣萬米個人跑二等獎的領獎臺，從宣傳部長和副縣長手中接過獎狀，享受了運動員得獎的待遇，更加堅定了今後參與運動的信心。這對我來說，不是終點，而是一個里程碑，更是一個新的起點。

這麼說來，也實現了組織全民健身跑的目的。
