- Couragewhat we cannot afford to loseGood evening, Ladies and gentlemen. I am very glad to give a speech here.This time, I'd like to talk something about courage what we cannot afford to lose. There are many things in the world that we cannot afford to lose, such as our health, wealth, our families, friends , lovers and so on. But the most important one, I believe, is courage. Do you know what does it mean for lack of courage? It means missing opportunities and being far away from success. We all need courage, especially for me. Believe it or not, I spend one year in making the final, firm decision to take part in this speech contest.There is no denying that I was a timid person. I was so timid that I missed the speech contest last year. But I don't think that was stupid, because I have learned something from the experience, just like courage. It's also the reason why I stand here now.Speaking truthfully, I am not always timid. I remember, when I was a little girl, I would try my best to fight for whatever I wanted and every time I made it. However, Time stealed my courage. The older I become, the more timid I am. Could you imagine? As a college student, I would be scared to cry in the face of challenges and hurdles. Every time, when I was going to do something, the first one came into my mind is: what should I do if I failed?And then I felt more anxious as if there are two persons fighting in my head. As a result, I became irresolute and retreat finally.Times went by, Fortunately, I retrieve my courage, now。Actually, you would find that courage is needed everywhere. For instance, you fall in love with someone secretly and sincerely, and one day you want to tell him. What do you need most? Courage! And if you did something wrong, you should make an apology.you also need Courage! After all, People can't be quite comfortable with their mistakes. Now assume that you must make a choice between your families and wealth, which one do you choose? No matter what is our last choice, I think we all need great courage.In a word, I think life itself really does need courage. Because in social life,we will meet various difficulties and setbacks. At this moment, we need enough courage to get rid of those sadness and sorrow.Courage, just like sunshine, air ,water is important and essential in our life. Without courage, we can't do anything successful;we can't live a meaningful and happy life. So let's have the courage to try and try it harder. That's all,thank you for listening!第 4 页-
