篇一:《challenge yourself》
Topic: Challenge yourself
General purpose: to inspire sb. to do something.
Specific purpose: to inspire sb. to change yourself, to challenge yourself and to make a great progress.
Thesis statement: society is and will be going on change fast, only change yourself can you be better fit up with the society, in turn to affect the world. Change is a challenge. Self-introduction:
Good morning everyone. My English name is Keny. Now it is my turn to give a speech to you. I feel a little nervous but also excited, because I have a chance to challenge myself.
Attention-grabber:
Well, let’s get to the point. . At beginning, I want to show you something. Let’s watch a short movie. (Attitude is altitude)
Transition:
Ok! After having watched the movie, so what do you think of it? I think everyone must have heart shocked, at least I was. So today my topic is “Challenge Yourself” . I hope it could make some importance to you. .
Thesis statement:
As is known to us, society is and will be going on change fast, so only change yourself can you be better fit up with the society, in turn to affect the world. So I say change is a challenge. Relate the topic to the audience:
Now that there are so many challenges, what do you think is the most challenge to yourself, from study, work stress in the future, from family or even from ourselves once you have determined to make a change. So what’s the ending?
Credibility statement:
1. No one is perfect, more or less have some shortcomings. What matters is depending on how you treat it and if you want to make a change. Some one born disabled, what one can change is attitude and thought, just like the Nick Vujicic in the flash. Some one was born in poor family. All of this can not be change, but we can change ourselves from now on.
2. There is documentary in British called 7-UP, in which records of children from different family backgrounds of the growth process. Only one boy from poor family finally makes a great success by struggling and changing himself.
Preview the main points:
Firstly, I will discuss the common challenge in our daily life. (Phenomenon)
Then, I will discuss the poor and rich `s fate. (Why?){how,,,to,challenge,,yourself的英语作文}.
After that, I will talk the popular words “No done No die” and No Life after all. (Importance and Meaningful)
Finally, I will discuss thought and action is needed, if you want to change. (How to change?)
Thesis point: The world is on changing. Even the nation making change can keep up with the world, let alone ourselves. So I say change is challenge, challenge is essential.
Main point 1: Challenge comes from many aspects, both outside and inside. Some are born .Some are acquired from later days. Some are happen in sudden so that you have not got prepared. How to face the challenge is really a challenge.
Transition: Now then I’ve discussed the common challenge phenomenon .Next I will discuss the fate of the poor and rich.
Main point 2: Now we often heard the people complain that the society is so injustice .Other people have lots of money, house, car. Look at me, I have nothing! No money, no house no car. I am a failure. But I think they make a great mistake. They spent so much time to complain .It’s not as good as to make a change.
Just as I mentioned the documentary 7-UP. The children from rich family still are richer, the poor are poor. But one boy set up his mind to challenge his fate. After sparing no effort to change, he eventually came true his dream and become a college professor.
We have lost at the starting line. So only making more effort and taking step by step to change, can we improve our situation. So how the life is depends on you how to recognize it. You will receive complained life from complaining. Also you will receive a moved from appreciation. If you continue to changing, then you will be a success fighter.
Transition: Life is life. Life is an interesting journey of ups and downs. But how the journey ends, is up to you today.
Sub point:There are popular words called: “No done, No die” on the internet. But I don’t think so. I would say no done no die but also no life.
Everyday living same life, it is too boring. So I think just do what you want to do, and prepare to bear the results. You will not regret so. You see, when you fall down, you feel like giving up. But it is not the end.
We grow up as we always listen to others’ voice, and put a kind of plaid on our life. On the left line, you must success in academic. On the right, you should find a steady job. On the up line, you should merry before 30. On the bottom line, you should have a baby after marriage. It looks only in the plaid is safe and happy. Once somebody jump out the plaid, people would say you are mad. I know all young people ever have a impulse to do something crazy.
To be honest, not everyone knows what himself really want, and live what kind of life in the future. Someone said life is simple. It is not wrong but a pity, I think. The quiet life has the first sight to the end. The world is so big, so wonderful. Nothing seen, you have determined to live in the plaid and live a peaceful life. The honest man often obscured in real life. Who lives with routings, never have a real positive rich life. After all, no done no die and no life .
Transition: Now we have learned the change and the challenge. So I will discuss how to change. What do we need?
Main point 4: As far as I’m concerned, thought and action are the most important element to change and challenge.
Thought decides height. The action decides the success or failure. Thought indicate our directions. As an old saying Ideal is the beacon. Without ideal, there is no secure direction; without direction , there is no life. Also action is the only way that we achieve our purpose. So once you set up your ideal, next is to take action. So don't do ideological giant, the dwarf in action. Remember that today thing finish today, never put off tomorrow.
Today I first discussed the common challenge in our daily life.
Second, I discussed why we need to challenge and the importance or significance of challenge. Finally, I discussed the thinking and action is needed, if you want to challenge.
In the end, thanks for your attention.
篇二:《How to discover yourself》
How to discover yourself
Ever since the accelerated development of human civilization,scientific discovery of human being had companied mankind all along the journey.Many of us are wondering that who we are.Curious about what makes us unique and how to become the person we were meant to be?
As far as I am concerned,we gradually become more aware of our limits and potentials,and consequently learn to adjust what's out there.How to discover yourself?Part of the explanations for it is that the question varies from person to person.To begin with,you should start off on a journey to discover yourself and know what kind of person you want to be.What's more,I think that you should discover and identify your life path.Discovering is about figuring out what you want to do for the rest of your life and what you do and who you serve.As is known,you can learn the way of your life by knowing what you value and care.Of course,all of the factories shape your world view and define your personal life.In addition,one of the most important step is to market yourself.It is high time to set goals, write down a mission, vision and personal brand statement,as well as creating a development plan.Last but not least,you could pull everything you have discovered together and describe the life you want to live.Using all the ideas inspires you and makes you to live a
real life.
From what has been discussed above,we can draw a conclusion that discovering yourself bridges the gap between you and your heart.At the same time,we can have a good knowledge of ourselves and it makes a contribution to live a more authentic life.

篇四:《英语短文-How to be alone》
How to be alone
We all have to learn to be by ourselves, whether it's after a breakup, a move or a divorce -- but how, exactly?
I recently went through a breakup. It was the worst — they always are — but as I wrestled with sadness over the end of the relationship, another perplexing challenge arose: how to be alone.
I‘ve been through a million — OK, three — breakups before. I‘ve spent plenty of time single in between. I thought I‘d be good at this alone thing by now. I‘m an only child, for crying out loud. Instead, on the heels of another split, I‘m amazed at how difficult just being by myself can be. I have friends – they are wonderful — but I feel a suffocating solitude at the end of the night, in the morning or at any moment of the day that isn‘t scheduled with distraction. It wasn‘t this way when I was coupled. Just the knowledge that I had ―a person‖ to call my own (even though I know in my bones that you can never truly call another person ―your own‖) was a comfort; that knowledge itself was a constant companion.
How does one become good at being alone? This question might be uniquely poignant for those of us fresh out of a breakup, or still in our 20s, but it‘s a question people confront at all stages of life and for all sorts of reasons, whether it‘s a big move to a new city, an unexpected death, a divorce or any countless number of things that life can throw your way. And regardless of your romantic status or friend count, it‘s nice to be capable of enjoying a movie or dinner alone. A friend told me a story about an acquaintance who is married with kids: She has a meltdown whenever her family goes out of town; she doesn‘t know what to do with herself.
So, I decided to seek out the world‘s wisdom on how to be alone. (As I tweeted earlier this week, ―One of my favorite things about being a journo? Being able to take my own burning questions to experts under the pretense of public service.‖) In terms of romantic aloneness, Anna David seemed like a good first stop: She wrote the memoir ―Falling for Me: How I Hung Curtains, Learned to Cook, Traveled to Seville, and Fell in Love, ‖ and understands the ache of singlehood all too well. ―I spent so much time where everything was filtered through this lens of ‗but I‘m alone.‘ And I was haunted by the thought, ‗I‘m going to be alone forever, ‘‖ she says. It took a long time to move past that fear. In fact, it took setting out to write a book about bettering herself in order to land a man. ―The idea I pitched Harper Collins was very much ‗Let me get totally perfect so that I can find the perfect guy to fall in love with me and the last chapter will be about how in love we are, ‘‖ she says, but none of that happened. While the book ultimately delivers a happier message of self-love, she privately felt like a failure for still being single. Shortly thereafter, though, she ―bottomed out‖ in a relationship where she says, ―I just got crazy and obsessive and I started to believe … it‘s this guy or a lifetime of eating dinner with my cat.‖
Either through the writing of the book or that final relationship disaster, she says, ―I basically realized that it was the old cliché: that no guy was ever going to make me happy, ‖ she says. ―I was buying into this age-old fairy tale that at the end of the movie you end up with a guy.‖
In my search for wisdom on spending time alone, regardless of relationship status, I quickly found that very few experts want to talk about being alone; they‘d rather talk about how to not be alone. Judy Ford, the author of ―Single: The Art of Being Satisfied, Fulfilled and Independent, ‖ is a rare exception to that: ―We are born alone and die alone, and deep within our souls we live alone, ‖ she tells me in an email, instantly invoking those universal truths that hurt the most. ―No one else ever abides in our skin. If we haven‘t yet come to terms with this ultimate truth, we are scared out of our minds to be alone.‖
She adds, ―The fear of public speaking is a mere tickle in comparison to the seismic ripples of horror that reverberate through the heart when faced with spending the weekend alone, ‖ says Ford. ―People are more courageous about going to the dentist than they are about eating in a restaurant alone.‖ That‘s true for young as well as old: Many seniors feel lonely ―because they have not developed their inner life, ‖ she says.
Her practical tips for conquering solitude are to get creative (―creativity is the cure of loneliness‖), push yourself to ―do something you have never done before‖ (like taking yourself out to dinner), admit your loneliness to others (―you might be surprised that they feel lonely too‖), ―get cozy with the gaps, ‖ those empty spaces in between plans, and remind yourself, ―Loneliness is not going to kill me.‖ These aren‘t easy fixes — and may induce eye-rolls from self-help haters — but they‘re crucial to happiness, she argues: ―To experience wholeness, first we experience the void.‖
Speaking of happiness, Gretchen Rubin wrote the book on it — she‘s the author of the New York Times bestseller ―The Happiness Project‖ — and has a slightly different take. ―Ancient philosophers and contemporary scientists agree that probably the key to happiness is strong relationships with other people, ‖ she says. ―You need to feel like you have intimate long-lasting relationships, you need to feel like you belong, you need to feel like you can get support and give support.‖
Her emphasis isn‘t on learning to be happy alone, but rather recognizing what level of social interaction makes you happiest — and it‘s different for everyone: ―Maybe you don‘t have a sweetheart, but being around a lot of other people might make you feel happier even if you wish you had that, ‖ she tells me. ―I think people sometimes aren‘t very aware of how much they need to be around other people.‖
As for making the most of whatever degree of aloneness that you have — whether it‘s being a bachelor or living in a new town with no friends — she says, ―You don‘t wait for circumstances to change in order to have the life that you want. If you want to go toFrance, don‘t think, ‗Oh, as
soon as I have a boyfriend I‘ll go toFrance‘ or ‗As soon as I get married I‘ll fix up my apartment.‘ Have the life that you want as much as you can now.‖ That‘s instead of pu
