I was born, I began to have a proud name— love you China, since the day I began to talk, the most beautiful sentence I’ve ever learnt has been “I love you, China!”As the moment, I remember Martin Luther King, the famous American black lawyer :I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be selfevident: that all men are created equal.”And I’m so proud of being a ’m proud that I’ve got the beautiful yellow skin, black eyes and black ’m also proud that I speak the most beautiful language in the world— teachers, good morning!It’s a good chance for me to be here to practice my hope I can make a good performance of all, you all know well my name is Yang 39。ll keep exploring in the treasure house of knowledge to enrich summer I got out of the ivory tower and entered the real publishing house offered me a parttime job in pilation and the beginning I was belittled by my they were really surprised when I translated seven English articles over 5,000 words on only one , they began to look at me with respectful their opinion I turned out to be a useful and trustworthy also realize that only those who bring happiness for others can be truly I often take part in activities concerning public once went to a barren mountain village with my taught the kids there who could not afford showing them how broad and how civilized the outer world is, I was deeply touched by their eagerness to learn, their honesty and their couldn39。think how lucky they are and how unlucky you are.Tell yourself over and over again things like I am horrible, I am ugly, I am disgusting, or I am useless. Sometimes, without even really knowing it, we can actively choose to be miserable! In reality, it is more likely that you would like to invite feelings of low selfesteem into your life. Low selfesteem has been attributed as being a major obstacle to success. A recent survey conducted by the China Population munication Centershowed that nearly half of the interviewed studentssaid that they lacked a sense of security in social interactionsand suffered from low selfesteem. Young people are the back bone to the nation. Their actions and attitudes are like a barometer of the health of a society. If our youth are courageous and have faith in themselves, they can contribute to the development of our nation and our society will be in good health. On the contrary, if they suffer from low selfesteem, our society will get sick. I would like to share with you a true story about Nicholas James Vujicic. He was born with Tetraamelia, a rare disorder characterized by the absence of all four limbs. He struggled as a child, eventually came to terms with his disability and started his own nonprofit organization Life Without Limbs – at age seventeen. He is widely known as a motivational speaker, giving talks worldwide on life with a disability, hope, and finding meaning in life. He was bullied at school, Vujicic grew depressed and by the age of 8, contemplated suicide. At age 10, he tried to drown himself in 4 inches of water, but did not go through with it out of love for his parents. After praying to grow arms and legs, Vujicic eventually realized that his acplishments could inspire others – and became grateful for his life. A key turning point came when his mother showed him a newspaper article about a man dealing with a severe disability. Vujicic realized he wasn’t unique in his struggles and began to embrace and transcend his disability. This man, the soldier of life, came to my hometown 2 months ago. I got to listen to him, and talk to him, face to face. I could never forget the look in his face when he said when I was young, I always feel cold, and dark. My first dream was to grow arms and legs, but there is no future for me at all. And now, 28 years has passed since he was born, 28 years without arms and legs. Nicks first dream didn’t e true, but he didn’t lose his faith of himself, and the faith of this life. Nick is living a life without limbs, and also a life without limits. pare to him, young people, there is no excuses to lose our faith in ourselves and this world. I understand that life couldn’t be anything we want it to be, and life couldn’t b
