How to survive from the cobble stone world ? Hello my dear judges and my friendly audience, Today my topic is how to survive from a cobble stone world? After I got the title “what we cannot afford to lose ?’ I have thought lots of answers.For example, health ,wealth, friends, youth and so on.It’s hard to choose the right answer, but when I take every answer in my mind into consideration, I have found that personality became the answer that I prefer, so that why I chose the title ‘How to survive from the cobble stone world ? ’
After put forward the question ,what comes into our mind? When we received the education from primary school, middle school, high school, even university, we gradually lose our personality, and we eventually become a cobble stone, without an edge and a corner.Is that the result we want ? Obviously, no! And that’s why I want to stand on this stage, and share my view with everybody here.Before I participated this English speech contest.Someone even discouraged that your major is Japanese .The English speech contest is none of your busine.But I responsed that it’s my interest, it’s my love.Thought I’m a Japanese major ,I still can speak fluent English .Besides, I want to be an outstanding man.
Though we have our own majors, we still can stand out in other fiels.You are going to be doctors in the future, you also can be a good writer, you are going to be nurses in the future, you also can be an excellent interpreter, you are going to be druggists in the future, you also can be a great singer.We should know that we are the only gemstone in this world, not just a common cobble stone.Once heard a saying, to be outstanding, just stand out.Dose everybody here want to be outstanding? Yes or no? So next time, chase the chance, and show us your talent.The value of life .Life is formed by many stages of time.So we should make good use of time.A proverb says, \"Time is money.\" But in my opinion, time is even more precious than money.Why? Because when money is spent, we can earn it back.However, when time is gone, it will never return.This is the reason why we must value time.It goes without saying that the time for our study and work is unusually limited.Hence, even an hour is extremely precious.We should make full use of our time to do useful things.As a student, I must make efforts to engage in my study so as to serve our nation and people in the future.But it is a pity that there.are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time.They do not realize that wasting time is equal to wasting a part of their valuable life.In a word, we should form the good habit of saving time.Do not put off what can be done today till tomorrow.Lazine will not only bring us failure but also lead us to the road of poverty.And this is the value of life.It wasn\'t all romantic.I didn\'t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends\' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles acro town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple.I loved it.And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be pricele later on.Let me give you one example: Again, you can\'t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.You have to trust in somethingthese things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.You are already naked.There is no reason not to follow your heart.
“记住你即将死去”是我一生中遇到的最重要箴言。它帮我指明了生命中重要的选择。因为几乎所有的事情, 包括所有的荣誉、所有的骄傲、所有对难堪和失败的恐惧,这些在死亡面前都会消失。我看到的是留下的真正重要的东西。你有时候会思考你将会失去某些东西,“记住你即将死去”是我知道的避免这些想法的最好办法。你已经赤身裸体了, 你没有理由不去跟随自己的心一起跳动。
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer.I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas.I didn\'t even know what a pancreas was.The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months.My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor\'s code for prepare to die.It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you\'d have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months.It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as poible for your family.It means to say your goodbyes.
大概一年以前, 我被诊断出癌症。我在早晨七点半做了一个检查, 检查清楚的显示在我的胰腺有一个肿瘤。我当时都不知道胰腺是什么东西。医生告诉我那很可能是一种无法治愈的癌症, 我还有三到六个月的时间活在这个世界上。我的医生叫我回家, 然后整理好我的一切, 那就是医生准备死亡的程序。那意味着你将要把未来十年对你小孩说的话在几个月里面说完.；那意味着把每件事情都搞定, 让你的家人会尽可能轻松的生活；那意味着你要说“再见了”。
I lived with that diagnosis all day.Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor.I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery.I had the surgery and I\'m fine now.
我整天和那个诊断书一起生活。后来有一天早上我作了一个活切片检查，医生将一个内窥镜从我的喉咙伸进去,通过我的胃, 然后进入我的肠子, 用一根针在我的胰腺上的肿瘤上取了几个细胞。我当时很镇静,因为我被注射了镇定剂。但是我的妻子在那里, 后来告诉我，当医生在显微镜地下观察这些细胞的时候他们开始尖叫, 因为这些细胞最后竟然是一种非常罕见的可以用手术治愈的胰腺癌症。我做了这个手术, 现在我痊愈了。 No one wants to die.Even people who want to go to heaven don\'t want to die to get there.And yet death is the destination we all share.No one has ever escaped it.And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life.It is Life\'s change agent.It clears out the old to make way for the new.Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
没有人愿意死, 即使人们想上天堂, 人们也不会为了去那里而死。但是死亡是我们每个人共同的终点。从来没有人能够逃脱它。也应该如此。 因为死亡就是生命中最好的一个发明。它将旧的清除以便给新的让路。你们现在是新的, 但是从现在开始不久以后, 你们将会逐渐的变成旧的然后被清除。我很抱歉这很戏剧性, 但是这十分的真实。
Your time is limited, so don\'t waste it living someone else\'s life.Don\'t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people\'s thinking.Don\'t let the noise of other\'s opinions drown out your own inner voice.And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.They somehow already know what you truly want to become.Everything else is secondary.
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind.青春不是年华，而是心境；
It is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees.青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，
It is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, vigor of the emotions; 而是深沉的意志、宏伟的想象、炽热的感情； It is the freshne of the deep spring of life.青春是生命的深泉在涌流。 Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, 青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，
of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.进去压倒苟安，如此锐气，hi This often exits in a man of 60, more than a boy of 20.二十后生有之，六旬男子则更多见。
nobody grows merely by the number of years;we grow old by deserting our ideas.年年有加，并非垂老；理想丢弃，方堕暮年。
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓唐必至灵魂。
Worry, fear, self-distrust1 bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.烦忧、惶恐、丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being\'s heart the lure of wonders, 无论年届花甲，抑或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，
the unfailing childlike appetite of what\'s next and the joy of the game of living.孩童般天真久盛不衰。
In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wirele station; 人人心中皆有一台天线，
so long as it receives meages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from infinite, 只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号， so long as you are young.你就青春永驻，风华常存。
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with the snows of cynicism and the ice of peimism, 一旦天线倒塌，锐气被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，
then you\'ve grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, 几十年方二十，实已垂老矣；
to catch waves of optimism, there\'s hope you may die young at 80.然则只要竖起天线，捕捉乐观的信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉得年轻。
