The tempo of modern civilization has been much quickened in the last twenty years。 While witnessing the dramatic changes in the better-off society， people begin to reconsider the question of "survival"。 "Survival" in the old sense does not bother us anymore。 Instead， we are more concerned about how to "survive" in the human world full of petition。
Competition always carries abreast challenges and opportunities to everyone involved。 It might appear in an entrance exam， in a regular class， or in a small public speech。 Those who fail to detect its real nature-whether an opportunity or a challenge a petition really is- will lose something more or less conducive to our growth。 Of course， if we take the petition as an opportunity， we will favor it intentionally because they can help us outstand from the average; they will make us bee the focus of public attention; they will grant us more chances and rights to succeed。 As a matter of fact， opportunities are supposed to be more perceptible and weling than challenges。 The truth is， however， we will lose more opportunities when we choose to take the "opportunity" fork at the crossroads。 The other fork， ignored by us and defined as "fearful challenges"， offers much more chances for the walker in petition。
We have such an inclination in life to overestimate ourselves and hold a thoughtless attitude towards the negative outlook of things。
We believe in the old saying， "Opportunity knocks but just once，" so we always wele it and devote all our spirit and efforts to it。 The most devout believer of this saying are the graduates。 Why? There are quite a number of them who pay full attention to positions in big cities and are willing to flood into developed areas under any circumstances， even though there will be too much uncertainty for their choices。 Innumerable cases go straight to the same miserable end: God seems to refuse to help too many of His worshipers。
In conclusion， to define the quuality of petition seems to be far from valuable sense， for no matter what a petition is， an opportunity or a challenge， it will create nutritious elements for our growth。
So take a positive look at everything around。 Keep our face to the sunshine， and we will not see the shadows。
the vast historical tide， some successful， some failure; some a fair death honors the whole life， some thing never dies。 ebb and flow， raise a number of "confucius"， which is mixed with many "qin gui"， carried away， that he wants to succeed by hook or by crook to get success， desire to have at the end of the day is celebrated， and find the right choice， but achievements generation of celebrities。 success， there are many paths， seeking a shortcut， tend to be at the end of the day to understand gave up a optimal choice and effort was not to make choices as it landed at all costs。
reese， a desire for success， but "achievement" his "disease xian can envy"， he should have been a generation of names， for the emperor should share， from a desire for success， by hook or by crook， he hit the han fei， creates the tragedy of burying confucian。 history is suppressed， the trend of the development of culture is suppressed， qin， reese also destroyed， people took down the emperor， also remember the lis。

ladies and gentlemen， boys and girls，
i am chinese。 i am proud of being a chinese with five thousand years of civilization behind。 i’ve learned about the four great inventions made by our forefathers。 i’ve learned about the great wall and the yangtze river。 i’ve learned about zhang heng and i’ve learned about zheng he。who says the yellow river civilization has vanished?i know that my ancestors have made miracles on this fertile land and we’re still making miracles。 who can ignore the fact that we have established ourselves as a great state in the world， that we have devised our own nuclear weapons， that we have successfully sent our satellites into space， and that our gnp ranks no。 7 in the world? we have experienced the plunders by other nations， and we have experienced the war。 yet， based on such ruins， there still stands our nation----china， unyielding and unconquerable!
i once came across an american tourist。 she said， “china has a history of five thousand years， but the us only has a history of 200 years。 five thousand years ago， china took the lead in the world， and now it is the us that is leading。” my heart was deeply touched by these words。 it is true that we’re still a developing nation， but it doesn’t mean that we can despise ourselves。 we have such a long-standing history， we have such abundant resources， we have such intelligent and diligent people， and we have enough to be proud of。 we have reasons to say proudly： we are sure to take the lead in the world in the future again， for our problems are big， but our ambition is even bigger， our challenges are great， but our will is even greater。
i am chinese。 i have inherited black hair and black eyes。 i have inherited the virtues of my ancestors。 i have also taken over responsibility。 i am sure， that wherever i go， whatever i do， i shall never forget that i am chinese!
As you slowly open your eyes， look around ， notice where the light es into your room; listen carefully， see if there are new sounds you can recognize; feel with your body and spirit， and see if you can sense the freshness in the air。 yes， yes， yes， it’s a new day， it’s a different day， and it’s a bright day! and most importantly， it is a new beginning for your life， a beginning where you are going to make new desicisions， take new actions， make new friends， and take your life to a totally unprecedented level! you know all this is real as long as you are confident，passionate and mitted! and you are confident， you are passionate， you are mitted!
you will no longer fear making new sounds， showing new facial expressions， using your body in new ways，approaching new people， and asking new questions。 you will live every single day of your life with absolute passion， and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take。 you will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life。 you will never succumb to challenges of hardships。 you will never waver in your pursuit of excellence。 after all，you are the best， and you deserve the best!
as your coach and friend， i can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will open to you， but the key to that door is in your hand。 you must do your part， you must faithfully follow the plans you make and take the actions you plan， you must never quit， you must never fear。 i know you must do it， you can do it， you will do it， and you will succeed!
now stand firm and tall， make a fist， get excited， and yell it out: i must do it! i can do it! i will do it! i will succeed! i must do it! i can do it! i will do it! i will succeed! i must do it! i can do it! i will do it! i will succeed!
Nothing is difficult if you put your heart on it。 Nothing is easy if you don’t try your best。
We often hear people say， “Never give up。” This can be encouraging words and words of determination。 A person who believes in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails。 In my opinion， the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have。 Therefore， I believe that we should never give up。
One reason is that if we give up too easily， we will rarely achieve anything。 It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new， so we should not feel discouraged and should try again。 Besides， if we always give up when we fail， we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people。 Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort。 If we do not try again， the lesson we have learned is wasted。 Finally， we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals， we develop confidence， and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives。
Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln。 Born into poverty， Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life。 He lost eight elections， twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown。
He could have quit many times - but he didn't and because he didn't quit， he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of our country。
Lincoln was a champion and he never gave up。
In short， it is important that we don’t give up when working for our goals。 Whether we succeed in the end or not， we will learn something， and what we learn will help us to bee better， more confident people。 Furthermore， if we give up， we have no chance of attaining our goals， but if we keep trying， there is always a chance that we will succeed one day。Thank you very much!
