nner of the Tour De ,先生們,困難是存在的,但如果你保持樂觀,你就會意識到永遠有希望在等著你,它會把你領(lǐng)向最終的成功。不管是歷史上還是現(xiàn)實中,這樣的樂觀者總是不勝枚舉。你看,托馬斯愛迪生是樂觀的,如果不是的話,他心中那希望的明燈就不能照亮整個世界;阿爾弗雷德諾貝爾是樂觀的,如果不是的話,那炸藥和享有很高聲望的諾貝爾獎就不會誕生;蘭斯阿姆斯特朗也是樂觀的,如果不是的話, rose may be beautiful, or maybe not。that depends on your attitudeonly, and so does success, so does and difficulties doexist, but if you are optimistic, then they are only episodes on your longway to the throne of success。they are more bridges than obstacles!Now Iprefer to end my speech with the great British poet Shelley’s lines: “Ifwinter es, can spring be far behind?” Thank you!玫瑰花可能很美,也可能不美,這,僅僅取決于你的態(tài)度;而成功也如此,人生也如此。困難和阻礙的確存在,但是如果你很樂觀的話,那它們就僅僅是我們通向勝利之冠的漫長道路上的小插曲;與其說它們是障礙,不如說它們是橋梁!此刻,我想以偉大的英國詩人雪萊的一句詩來作為我的結(jié)尾:“冬天來了,春天還會遠嗎?”謝謝!Youth青春Samuel Ullman塞繆爾厄爾曼Youth is not a time of life。it is a state of mind。it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees。it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions。it is the freshness

pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at ,使自己的心靈蒙上玩世不恭的霜雪和悲觀厭世的冰凌,即使你年方20,你已垂垂老矣;倘若你已經(jīng)80高齡,臨于辭世,若豎起天線去收聽樂觀進取的電波,你仍會青春煥發(fā)。讓“寬恕的風(fēng)”把仇恨抹去The story goes that two friends were walking through the some point of the journey they had

life.”等他從幾近淹死的邊緣蘇醒過來后,他在石頭上刻下:“今天我最好的朋友救了我的命?!盩he friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a ?” 他的朋友問:“為什么我傷你之后,你在沙子上寫字,現(xiàn)在卻把字刻在石頭上?”The other friend replied: “When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.” 他回答道:“當(dāng)有人傷害了我們,我們應(yīng)該把它寫進沙里,寬恕的風(fēng)會把仇恨抹去。而當(dāng)有人為我們做了好事,我們應(yīng)當(dāng)把它刻在石頭上,沒有風(fēng)可以將它抹去?!盩ry to Remember the
