young i remember that we had this crazy mutt of a dog named amp。 399 kids will be arrested for drug abuse, 1,352 babies will be born to teen mothers. this is happening in one of the richest, most developed countries in the history of the world. yes, in my country there is an epidemic of violence that parallels no other industrialized nation. these are the ways young people in america express their hurt and their anger. but donamp。t leave it alone. if you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can he dealt with. a professor may degrade you, but you will not feel degraded, a boss may crush you, but you will not be crushed, a corporate gladiator might vanquish you, but you will still triumph. how could any of them truly prevail in pulling you down? for you know that you are an object worthy of love. the rest is just packaging. but if you donamp。when you e to the show i want to see you in this jacket and in this gloveamp。you are gonna give it to me?amp。 (even if you have a face that only a mother could love). friends, the foundation of all human knowledge, the beginning of human consciousness, must be that each and every one of us is an object of love. before you know if you have red hair or brown, before you know if you are black or white, before you know of what religion you are a part, you have to know that you are loved. about twelve years ago, when i was just about to start my bad tour, a little boy came with his parents to visit me at home in california. he was dying of cancer and he told me how much he loved my music and me. his parents told me that he wasnamp。s most precious legacy, its richest bequest, its golden inheritance. and it is a treasure that is handed down from one generation to another. previous ages may not have had the wealth we enjoy. their houses may have lacked electricity, and they squeezed their many kids into small homes without central heating. but those homes had no darkness, nor were they cold. they were lit bright with the glow of love and they were warmed snugly by the very heat of the human heart. parents, undistracted by the lust for luxury and status, accorded their children primacy in their lives. as you all know, our two countries broke from each other over what thomas jefferson referred to as amp。 wealth, success, fancy clothing and fancy cars, but an aching emptiness on the inside. that cavity in our chests, that barrenness at our core, that void in our centre is the place where the heart once beat and which love once occupied. and itamp。s a universal calamity, a global catastrophe. childhood has bee the great casualty of modernday living. all around us we are producing scores of kids who have not had the joy, who have not been accorded the right, who have not been allowed the freedom, or knowing what itamp。 robin and ben to adoring crowds was not indicative of the boy behind the smile. tonight, i e before you less as an icon of pop (whatever that means anyway), and more as an icon of a generation, a generation that no longer knows what it means to be children. all of us are products of our childhood. but i am the product of a lack of a childhood, an absence of that precious and wondrous age when we frolic playfully without a care in the world, basking in the adoration of parents and relatives, where our biggest concern is studying for that big spelling test e monday morning. those of you who are familiar with the jackson five know that i began performing at the tender age of five and that ever since then, i havenamp。m sure that iamp。s literature, from . tolkien to cs lewis. today i was allowed to hobble into the dining hall in christ church to see lewis carrollamp。m sure he didnamp。ve even heard that kermit the frog has made an appearance here, and iamp。英語(yǔ)演講稿:A Place to Sleep。即使世界充滿猜疑,我們?nèi)匀桓矣谛湃巍?9。39。ndash。ndash。39。39。39。quot。quot。quot。ndash。ndash。39。quot。39。ndash。39。quot。ndash。39。39。quot。39。quot。39。39。ndash。39。39。39。39。39。ndash。ndash。39。quot。quot。ndash。39。ndash。39。39。39。39。39。39。資料共分享,我們負(fù)責(zé)傳遞知識(shí)。
heal the kids amp。s message that itamp。t help but be aware of the majesty and grandeur of this great institution, not to mention the brilliance of the great and gifted minds that have roamed these streets for centuries. the walls of oxford have not only housed the greatest philosophical and scientific geniuses amp。 and you know, einstein in particular was really terrible at that. but i do have a claim to having experienced more places and cultures than most people will ever see. human knowledge consists not only of libraries of parchment and ink amp。 and tonight i even walk like iamp。s witnesses do. and it was then that i was able to see the magic of other peopleamp。s greatest experts. ours is a generation that has witnessed the abrogation of the parentchild covenant. psychologists are publishing libraries of books detailing the destructive effects of denying oneamp。s the parents as well. for the more we cultivate littleadults in kidsamp。. and while we americans and british might dispute the justice of his claims, what has never been in dispute is that children have certain inalienable rights, and the gradual erosion of those rights has led to scores of children worldwide being denied the joys and secu
