1、英语演讲稿励志文章五篇英语演讲稿励志文章1 It is a commonplace among moralists that you cannot get happiness by pursuing it. This is only true if you pursue it unwisely. Gamblers at Monte Carlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead, but there are other ways of pursuing money which often succeed. So it is

2、with happiness. If you pursue it by means of drink, you are forgetting the hang-over. Epicurus pursued it by living only in congenial society and eating only dry bread, supplemented by a little cheese on feast days. His method proved successful in his case, but he was a valetudinarian, and most peop

3、le would need something more vigorous. For most people, the pursuit of happiness, unless supplemented in various ways, is too abstract and theoretical to be adequate as a personal rule of life. But I think that whatever personal rule of life you may choose it should not, except in rare and heroic ca

4、ses, be incompatible with happiness. There are a great many people who have all the material conditions of happiness, i.e. health and a sufficient income, and who, nevertheless, are profoundly unhappy. In such cases it would seem as if the fault must lie with a wrong theory as to how to live. In one

5、 sense, we may say that any theory as to how to live is wrong. We imagine ourselves more different from the animals than we are. Animals live on impulse, and are happy as long as external conditions are favorable. If you have a cat it will enjoy life if it has food and warmth and opportunities for a

6、n occasional night on the tiles. Your needs are more complex than those of your cat, but they still have their basis in instinct. In civilized societies, especially in English-speaking societies, this is too apt to be forgotten. People propose to themselves some one paramount objective, and restrain

7、 all impulses that do not minister to it. A businessman may be so anxious to grow rich that to this end he sacrifices health and private affections. When at last he has become rich, no pleasure remains to him except harrying other people by exhortations to imitate his noble example. Many rich ladies

8、, although nature has not endowed them with any spontaneous pleasure in literature or art, decide to be thought cultured, and spend boring hours learning the right thing to say about fashionable new books that are written to give delight, not to afford opportunities for dusty snobbism. If you look a

9、round at the men and women whom you can call happy, you will see that they all have certain things in common. The most important of these things is an activity which at most gradually builds up something that you are glad to see coming into existence. Women who take an instinctive pleasure in their

10、children can get this kind of satisfaction out of bringing up a family. Artists and authors and men of science get happiness in this way if their own work seems good to them. But there are many humbler forms of the same kind of pleasure. Many men who spend their working life in the city devote their

11、 weekends to voluntary and unremunerated toil in their gardens, and when the spring comes, they experience all the joys of having created beauty. The whole subject of happiness has, in my opinion, been treated too solemnly. It had been thought that man cannot be happy without a theory of life or a r

12、eligion. Perhaps those who have been rendered unhappy by a bad theory may need a better theory to help them to recovery, just as you may need a tonic when you have been ill. But when things are normal a man should be healthy without a tonic and happy without a theory. It is the simple things that re

13、ally matter. If a man delights in his wife and children, has success in work, and finds pleasure in the alternation of day and night, spring and autumn, he will be happy whatever his philosophy may be. If, on the other hand, he finds his wife fateful, his childrens noise unendurable, and the office

14、a nightmare; if in the daytime he longs for night, and at night sighs for the light of day, then what he needs is not a new philosophy but a new regimen-a different diet, or more exercise, or what not. Man is an animal, and his happiness depends on his physiology more than he likes to think. This is

15、 a humble conclusion, but I cannot make myself disbelieve it. Unhappy businessmen, I am convinced, would increase their happiness more by walking six miles every day than by any conceivable change of philosophy. 道德家们常说：华蜜靠追求是得不到的。只有用不明智的方式去追求才是这样。蒙特卡洛城的赌徒们追求金钱，但多数人却把钱输掉了，而另外一些追求金钱的方法却经常胜利。追求华蜜也是一样。假

16、如你通过畅饮来追求华蜜，那你就遗忘了酒醉后的不适。埃毕丘鲁斯追求华蜜的方法是只和志趣相投的人一起生活，只吃不涂黄油的面包，节日才加一点奶酪。他的方法对他来说是胜利的，但他是个体弱多病的人，而多数人须要的是精力充足。就多数人来说，除非你有别的补充方法，这样追求欢乐就过于抽象和脱离实际，不宜作为个人的生活准则。不过，我觉得无论你选择什么样的生活准则，除了那些罕见的和英雄人物的例子外，都应当是和华蜜相容的。 许多人拥有获得华蜜的全部物质条件，即健康的身体和丰足的收入，可是他们特别不欢乐。就这种状况来说，好像问题处在生活理论的错误上。从某种意义上讲，我们可以说任何关于生活的理论都是不正确的。我们和动物

17、的区分并没有我们想象的那么大。动物是凭冲动生活的，只要客观条件有利，它们就会欢乐。假如你有一只猫，它只要有东西吃，感到温煦，间或晚上得到机会去寻欢，它就会很愉快。你的须要比你的猫要困难一些，但还是以本能为基础的。在文明社会中，特殊是在讲英语的社会中，这一点很简单被忘却。人们给自己定下一个最高的目标，对一切不利于实现这一目标的冲动都加以克制。生意人可能因为切望发财以致不惜牺牲健康和爱情。等他最终发了财，他除了苦苦劝人效法他的好榜样而搅得别人心烦外，并没有得到欢乐。许多有钱的贵妇人，尽管自然并未给予她们任何观赏文学或艺术的爱好，却决意要使别人认为她们是有教养的，于是他们花费许多烦人的时间学习怎样谈

18、论那些流行的新书。这些书写出来是要给人以乐趣的，而不是要给人以附庸风雅的机会的。 只要你视察一下四周那些你可称之为华蜜的男男女女，就会看出他们都有某些共同之处。在这些共同之处中有一点是最重要的：那就是活动本身，它在大多数状况下本身就很好玩，而且可渐渐的使你的愿望得以实现。生性宠爱孩子的妇女，能够从抚养子女中得到这种满意。艺术家、作家和科学家假如对自己的工作感到满足，也能以同样的方式得到欢乐。不过，还有许多是较低层次的欢乐。很多在城里工作的人到了周末自愿地在自家的庭院里做无偿的劳动，春天来时，他们就可尽情享受自己创建的美景带来的欢乐。 在我看来，整个关于欢乐的话题一向都被太肃穆的对待过了。过去始

19、终有这样的看法：假如没有一种生活的理论或者宗教信仰，人是不行能华蜜的。或许那些由于理论不好才导致不欢乐的人须要一种较好的理论帮助他们重新愉快起来，就像你生过病须要吃补药一样。但是，正常状况下，一个人不吃补药也应当是健康的;没有理论也应当是华蜜的。真正有关系的是一些简洁的事情。假如一个男人宠爱他的妻子儿女，事业有成，而且无论白天黑夜，春去秋来，总是感到兴奋，那么不管他的理论如何，都会是欢乐的。反之，假如他厌烦自己的妻子，受不了孩子们的吵闹，而且胆怯上班;假如他白天盼望夜晚，而到了晚上又盼望着天明，那么，他所须要的就不是一种新的理论，而是一种新的生活-变更饮食习惯，多熬炼身体等等。 人是动物，他的

20、华蜜更多的时候取决于其生理状况而非思想状况。这是一个很庸俗的结论，然而我无法使自己怀疑它。我确信，不华蜜的商人与其找到新的理论来使自己华蜜，还不如每天步行六英里更见效。 英语演讲稿励志文章2 People often wonder why historians go to so much trouble to preserve millions of books, documents and records. Why do we have libraries? What good are these documents and history books? Why do we record a

21、nd save the actions of men, the negotiations1 of government officials and the events during wars? We do it because, sometimes, the voice of experience can cause us to stop, look and listen. Sometimes, past records, when understood in the right way, can help us decide what to do and what not to do. I

22、f we are ever to create lasting peace, we must seek its origins in human experience and in the records of human history. From the stories of courage and devotion of men and women, we create the inspirations of youth. History records the suffering, the self-denial2, the devotion, and the heroic deeds

23、 of people in the past. These records can help us when we are confused and when we really need peace. The main purpose of history is to create a better world. History gives a warning to those who promote war, and inspiration to those who seek peace. In short, history helps us learn. Yesterdays recor

24、ds can keep us from repeating yesterdays mistakes. And from the pieces of mosaic4 assembled5 by historians come the great murals6 which represent the progress of mankind. 人们经常心存疑虑,为什么历史学家要费尽周折地保存数以万计的书籍、文献和记录。 我们为什么要有图书馆呢?这些文献和史书有何用处呢? 我们为什么要记载并保存人类的行为、政府官员的谈判和斗争中的事务呢? 我们这么做的缘由在于有时候阅历之音能促使我们停步、视察和倾听

25、。也因为有时候过去的记载经过正确地诠释,能帮助我们确定何事可为、何事不行为。假如我们想要创建永久的和平,我们就必需从人类的阅历以及人类历史的记载中去探究其渊源。 从体现男性和女性英勇和奉献精神的故事之中,我们获得了青春的启示。英语短文历史记载着人类的一切苦难、克己、忠诚和英勇的事迹。这些记载在我们困惑和渴望和平常能对我们有所帮助。 历史的主要目的是创建一个更加美妙的世界。历史对那些力主斗争的人给以警告,赐予那些寻求和平的人以启示。 简而言之,历史帮助我们学习。昨日的记载可以使我们避开重蹈覆辙。这些历史学家们创作的像马赛克一样色调缤纷的历史片断汇聚成了代表人类进步的宏大壁画。 英语演讲稿励志文章

26、3 Today is an excellent day for small improvements. Whatever is working for you, find a way to improve it just a little. Theres no need to make a huge change, just a small one, something you can do right now. If you called just one additional customer each day, over the course of the next month you

27、would talk to about 20 new people. If you learned just one more new word each day, in the next year you would increase your vocabulary by more than 300 words. Small improvements can add up over time into big accomplishments. Look around you. Consider the work you do each day. Think about how you cou

28、ld do it just a little bit better. In a marathon race, each step the winner takes is just a little bit longer and a little bit faster than each stride taken by the 100th place finisher. Yet over the course of the race, that small difference adds up in a big way. Do just a little bit more today, and

29、tomorrow too, and each day after that. Anyone can make just a small improvement, and that can make a big, big difference. 今日就是你可以做改进的极好的一天。无论你在做什么,找一个方法去做一点点的改进。不用做太大的变更,只要一点点你现在可以做到的一点点。 假如你每天多给一个顾客打电话的话,一个月下来你会发觉你又多相识了差不多二十个人。假如每天多学会一个新词,过一年,你的词汇量将会增加300多个。 小小的改进能够逐步积累成大的成就。视察你的四周。思索你每天所做的工作。英语短文想

30、一下你怎么能做得更好一点。 在马拉松竞赛中,冠军的每一步都只比第一百名的选手的步伐大一点点、快一点点。英语短文但是在竞赛过程中,那些小小的不同积累成了巨大的区分。 今日、明天、今后的每一天尽力做更多一点点。任何人都能做一点小小的改进,但那小小的改进将会起到特别大、特别大的作用。 英语演讲稿励志文章4 If you could choose what kind of world to live in, what kind of world would you choose? If you could decide what would happen tomorrow, with what kin

31、ds of things would you fill it? If you had the power to decide what types of opportunities would come your way, what opportunities would you select? If you knew that your experiences would match your expectations, what would your expectations be? In fact, you do have the power to choose your own way

32、. You do have the ability to decide what kinds of events, experiences, opportunities and circumstances come your way. The world you experience is the world that your dreams, your thoughts, your expectations and your actions most closely resonate_. The world you see and live in is the world you most

33、sincerely expect to see. The universe is filled with endless possibilities, and those possibilities keep growing with every minute. The way you live determines which of those possibilities will come into your life. With your thoughts, your actions, your values, your dreams and expectations, you choo

34、se what kind of world you live in. The way you live is closely mirrored in the world you see. 假如你可以选择在什么样的世界里生活,那么你将会选择怎样的世界呢?假如你可以确定明日之事,你将会怎样充溢它呢? 倘如你有力气确定自己的机遇,你会怎样选择呢?倘如你知道你的经验会如你所愿,那么你会如何期盼呢? 事实上,你有实力选择你要走的路。是你自己确定你将要做的事、英语短文你将获得的经验、你将得到的机会和你将置身其中的环境。 你体验的这个世界和你的幻想、思维、期盼甚至行为产生共鸣。你看到的世界和你时下生活的这个

35、世界就是你真心期盼见到的世界。 这个宇宙充溢了无限的可能,这些可能每一分钟都在增加。你的生活方式确定了何种可能性会来到你的世界。 你所选择生活的世界取决于你的想法,你的作为,你秉持的价值理念,你的幻想还有对将来的期盼。你有什么样的世界观就会有什么样的生活方式。 英语演讲稿励志文章5 “We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite” I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as

36、a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it. We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just as a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone. We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harves

37、t. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all. I want the future to be better than the past. I dont want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future beca

38、use that is where we will spend the remainder of our lives. The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will affect it. Each day brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our business, if we only recognize them. We are

39、just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor. “我们正在读一本书的第一章第一行，这本书的页数是无限的” 我不知道是谁写的，可我很喜爱这句话，它提示我们将来是由自己创建的。我们可以把神奇、不行知的将来塑造成我们想象中的任何模样，如同雕刻家将未成形的石头刻成雕像。英语励志短文 我们每个人都像是农夫。洒下良种将有丰收，播下劣种或生满野草便将毁去收成。没有耕耘则会一无所获。 我希望将来比过去更加美妙，希望将来不会沾染历史的错误与过失。我们都应举目向前，因我们的余生要用将来书写。 往昔已逝，静如止水;我们无法再作变更。而前方的将来正生气勃勃;我们所做的每一件事都将会影响着它。只要我们相识到这些，无论是在家中还是在工作上，每天我们的面前都会呈现出新的天地。在人类致力开拓的每一片领域上，我们正站在进步的起跑点。 英语演讲稿励志文章五篇
