1、2022英语演讲稿：成功之我见Once upon a time， there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. To all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. One day, into the king's

2、palace came a handsome young prince Well, you know the rest. The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the princess's hand triumphantly.And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line And they live happily ev

3、ery after.Why aren't we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, I would say, so unimaginative? How can a story like that endure generations of repetition? Because, I think, it is a typical success story. It is highly philosophical and symbolic. By implication, we see a 4-step defini

4、tion of success: 1 ） a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess; 2 ） challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks; 3 ） the process of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; and 4 ） the reward of success, as represented by the happy

5、marriage.The story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result. The reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa. If a person inherits his father's mi

6、llions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence. The term success, to be sure. will not sit still for easy definition. But as I understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination

7、of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor. To clarify my view, let me give another analogy.If we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then sc

8、oring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. If we further changed the rules by not allowing Arsenal's defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winn

9、ing would have disappeared. In accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value. The sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.The concept of success is not constant but relative because the na

10、ture of difficulty is also relative. Something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person. In acquiring the ability to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success. That's why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he ha

11、s contributed greatly to the field of science.I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this. I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level contest.But I

12、chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. Now here I am. If I come out first, it will be a great success for me. If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because p

13、art of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. For me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because I have truly gained by participating.Let us return to our handsome young pr

14、ince and the 4-step definition of success. You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and th

15、is is my definition, too.Thank you.译文：胜利之我见很久以前，有个国王，他的女儿貌美如花。老国王向全部来求婚的男士提出了三个任务作为挑战，而每一项任务都异样艰难，几乎不行能完成。一天，来了一位年轻英俊的王子好了，下面的故事你们都知道了。三项任务在不同的版本中各不相同，但关键部分的情节都如出一辙：王子胜利地过关，得到了公主的芳心。而故事的结局也都一样，最终一句都写道：从今他们华蜜地生活在一起。为什么我们对如此奇妙、如此不切实际，而我要说，如此缺乏想象力的东西这么乐此不疲呢？这样的故事又如何能够经验几代人的重复？我想，因为它是典型的胜利的例子。故事的思想性很强，具

16、有代表性。通过故事带给我们的启示，我们相识到了胜利定义中的四个步骤；第一，目标的设定，有如故事里漂亮的公主；其次，所遇到的困难和挑战，就像三大任务；第三，克服困难的过程，故事中青年经验重重难关可以作为象征；第四，就是胜利的果实，犹如华蜜的婚姻。这个故事不仅迎合了人们内心深处对胜利的憧憬，也强调了过程和结果的不行分别。假如通往胜利的道路坎坷曲折，那么胜利的回报必定硕果累累，反之亦然。假如一个人继承了父辈的一百零一万家产而生活得轻松富足，那么，即使在物质上，他也不能算是个胜利人士，因为，他的财宝并没有经过艰难困苦而获得。准确地说，胜利这个词，不是个静态简洁的定义。在我的理解中，真正意义上的胜利是奋

17、斗的过程和经验了奋斗之后赢得的满足的结果。请让我另举一例来阐明我的见解。假如我们试着变更足球的竞赛规则，将球门放得很大，换下大卫·希曼或其他任何的守门员，这样，随意哪个大卫，比如说，大卫·贝克汉姆，就可以轻松进球，然而这样进一球却不能给他带来胜利的震颤与喜悦。假如我们再改一改竞赛规则，不让阿森纳队的防守来守门，那么，贝克汉姆只要动动手，其实就是抬抬脚就能进一球，那样的话事实上也没有什么竞赛可言了，因为赢球的意义已经不存在了。在接受挑战、克服困难和经验磨难的过程中，胜利的价值才得以丰满。取得成果的意义和所克服的艰难的程度成正比。所谓胜利的概念不是一成不变的。而昙相对而

18、言的，因为困难的性质也是相对意义上的。正常人不费劲气做成的事对于一个残疾人来说或许相当困难。获得了同正常人一样的实力，这个残疾人就获得了胜利。这便是我们为什么崇敬史蒂芬·霍金的缘由虽然行动不便，受到了轮椅的限制，他依旧为科学界作出了巨大的贡献。就我自己而言，生性羞怯，简单怯场，不得不鼓起特别大的志气来参与此次的演讲竞赛。我完全可以待在一边，不参与高校级别的竞赛，而落得轻松自由。可是，我还是选择了接受这一挑战来面对困难。现在我来了，假如我能够得第一的话。这对我来说就是巨大的胜利。假如，我是最终一名我希望状况不是这样但假如我真的是最终一名，我也不会认为这次的尝试是一次失败，反而我要把

19、它当作一次真正的胜利来庆贺，因为我一部分的目标是对自己性格的熬炼更加坚毅、英勇地面对困难。对我来说，这标记着我在通向胜利人生的漫漫征途中又向前迈进了一步，尽管是很小的一步，但是我的确通过参加真正地获得了收益。回到我们年轻英俊的王子和对胜利的四步骤定义上吧，您或许已经留意到了财宝、地位和名誉等这些世俗的标准在故事中并未提及，相反故事强调了克服重重困难的过程。古代的才智已经对胜利的意义下了定义，这也是我的定义。感谢！第9页 共9页第 9 页 共 9 页第 9 页 共 9 页第 9 页 共 9 页第 9 页 共 9 页第 9 页 共 9 页第 9 页 共 9 页第 9 页 共 9 页第 9 页 共 9 页第 9 页 共 9 页第 9 页 共 9 页
