篇一
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today I want to tell you a story about one of my friends, a lovely and smart girl who is always ready to help others. Being our grade leader, she is good at both work and study. In many people's opinion, she is excellent and perfect. But one day she told me she was gloomy and insecure. People around her considered her outstanding and flawless, thinking she could handle everything. But the more she thought about herself, the more disappointed she became. She found that she was far from perfection. Last week, she didn’t do well in her French quiz, and the day before yesterday, she was late for a conference. She felt depressed and frustrated, because she failed to be a perfect girl without any mistakes.
I was surprised to hear that for I thought she had every reason to be confident. However, the expectation of perfection has become a burden to her. I told her no one could be perfect and I suggested she find her own position.
In fact, people are so eager to be perfect that they demand too much of themselves. They want to be special and unique, and they want to have no defects or weaknesses. However, we can never avoid mistakes and errors. It’s impossible for us to be a superman or a superwoman. No matter how successful we are, there are always some flaws. If we hold that everything should be perfect, we would be overcritical.
My friend now has changed her attitude. She accepts her shortcomings but still keeps a positive outlook. She is even more active and doesn’t allow the mistakes to hinder her pursuit of excellence. And I think that’s the way we should be!That’s all. Thank you!
沒有人可以完美無缺
女士們、先生們，大家早上好!今天我想給大家講一個我朋友的故事。她是一個聰明可愛、樂於助人的女孩。作為我們的年級長，她無論工作還是學習都很出色。在很多人眼裡，她是如此優秀，近乎完美了。但有一天她卻告訴我，她很迷惘和自卑：周圍的人都認為她很優秀，完美無缺，可以對付任何事情;而她想得越多對自己就越是失望。她發覺自己遠不夠完美。上週她的法語測驗考得不理想;前天，一個會議她又遲到了：很多事情做的不盡完美，這讓她很是灰心喪氣。
聽到這些的時候我很驚訝，我原以為她有充分的理由對自己充滿信心。然而，對完美的期望卻變成了她的負擔。我告訴她，沒有人可以完美無缺的，她應該找到自己真正的位置。
實際上，人們有時過於追求完美而且期望的太多了。我們想要特別，想要獨一無二;又想要沒有缺點沒有弱點。可是，人是無法避免錯誤的,有誰能成為超人呢?無論你多麼成功，總是有一些事情不夠完美。如果我們堅持要完美無缺，那隻能是一種求全責備。
我的朋友現在已經改變了她的態度。她承認自己的不完美，但是保持著樂觀的心態。她沒有停止追求，反而變得更為積極。我想這正是我們應該有的態度。
篇二
Leo Tolstoy once said, everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
He is right. We always have great plans and dreams in our minds… too ready to achieve something grand that changes the world or benefits all of mankind .For example; we hate pollution and have made up our minds to find new energy sources that keep the environment clean. Yet we still litter on the ground. We complain about traffic jams, so we plan to build more highways to solve the problem, but it never occurs to us that our failure to follow traffic regulations is the leading cause of this situation. We are so concerned that the violence in the media has a bad impact on our children, we urge the government to set laws to protect them. But, do we, as adults, set a good example for our kids? We use nasty words and even spit on the ground in front of them, I dare to say, we harm more!
In my opinion, before we decide to change the world, we had better change ourselves first. As ordinary individuals, we do not have the power to change the world. But we can change our habit of littering, spitting, cussing, we can respect the environment around us, we must act as good models for our kids.
If each of us does all of these little things, all of us, millions and millions of individuals together, together we will be strong …strong enough to change our world!
So please, the next time you do something, think how your actions influence not only you, but those around you too, especially our children …and perhaps more importantly…our planet!
改變
列夫·托爾斯泰曾說過：每個人都想改變這個世界，但是沒有人想到改變自己。
他說的很有道理，我們每個人都心懷偉大時志向，時刻準備去幹一番能造福全人類的大事業。比如，我們痛恨環境汙染，所以我們下定決心去開發新的更高效更乾淨的能源來保護我們的環境，但是同時我們卻隨手亂扔垃圾;我們抱怨大城市的交通堵塞，計劃造更多的高速路來解決交通問題，但是我們從來沒有想過，如果我們能遵守交通規則話，那麼這一問題是不是可以得到很大得緩解呢?我們擔心電視電影裡面得暴力會對我們得孩子產生不良的影響，於是我們敦促政府通過立法來保護未成年人，但是我們這些大人又做得怎麼樣呢?我們為我們的下一代做好了表率嗎?我們說粗話，甚至在孩子面前抽菸。不客氣地說，我們對孩子的不良影響更多!
在我看來，在我們打算改變這個世界之前，我們最好先改變一下自己。作為一個普通人，我們其實沒有改變這個世界的能力，但是我可以改變我們隨地扔垃圾，隨地吐痰的壞習慣， 我們應該學會去保護環境，我們應該為我們的孩子起好的表率作用。
如果我們每個人都能從小事起，那麼千千萬萬個人力量匯聚在一起，那力量是強大的，足以改變這個世界。
朋友，當您在做某一件事情的時候，請您想一想，您的行為會對您周圍的人產生怎樣的影響， 因為，您的行為不單單影響到您自己，還有您周圍的人，更重要的是我們的孩子…甚至我們的世界。
篇三
One night, I complained to my mom about the lack of time. Finally she said,"you are short of time just because you waste precious minutes on complaints and anxiety. The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard, you can always fit in some thing more."
It is the same with filling the jar. Even if you place a dozen fist-sized rocks and a bucket of gravel into the jar, there is still space for sand and water between the rocks and gravel.
The lack of time is just the excuse for my negligence of every single minute. I believe that the great dividing line between success and failure can be expressed in six words,"I did not have enough time."The fact is I do have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein. The point is I have never touched upon the real meaning of life which lies in snatching, seizing and enjoying every minute of it. No idleness, no delay, no procrastination, no complaint! It is during my moments of complaining or hesitation that my destiny is shaped. Once I make full use of every moment, I believe that, my worries will be gradually cut down to nothing.
Time is the most valuable of all our possessions, but the most perishable as well. As Henry David Thoreau said,"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment."
Whenever I fell the lack of time in the future, I will tell myself "Carpe diem , seize the day, make every moment count."
抓住每分每秒
有天晚上，我向媽媽抱怨自己事情太多，時間不夠。她說道：“你抱怨沒有時間就是因為你把珍貴的分分秒秒都浪費在抱怨和焦慮上。關鍵是，無論你的時間表排得多滿，如果你真的努力嘗試了，你還是總能間插地做些事情。”
這同填充廣口瓶是一個道理，即使你將一小堆拳頭大小的石塊和一桶碎石倒進瓶裡，也還能繼續倒入沙子和水，使其漏進石塊的間隙中去。
“沒時間”無異於我為自己浪費分分秒秒找的託詞罷了。我相信成功與失敗的一線之差可以用六個字來形容：“我沒足夠時間。” 然而事實上，我卻與海倫.凱勒，帕斯特，傑弗遜和愛因斯坦每天所擁有的時間分秒不差。關鍵是我並未觸及生命的真諦：抓住，享受生命的每一分鐘。不要碌碌無為，不要耽擱推遲，不要牢騷抱怨!往往是在我抱怨和遲疑的時候，我的命運就被決定了。而一旦我能善用分分秒秒，我相信我的煩惱也會被逐漸瓦解。
在我們所擁有的財富中，時間是最珍貴而又最不持久的。正如梭羅所說的那樣：“你得抓住現在，把握機會，在短暫的瞬間中尋找永恆。”
如果將來我再發覺沒時間的時候，我會告誡自己，“carpe diem 拉丁語，抓住今天，抓住每分每秒。”
