《五个毁灭梦想的办法》中英文演讲稿

I dedicated the past two years to understanding how people achieve their dreams. When we think about the dreams we have, and the dent we want to leave in the universe, it is striking to see how big of an overlap there is between the dreams that we have and projects that never happen.

我花了两年的时间去理解：人们如何实现他们的梦想。 说到我们的梦想、 我们想要在这个宇宙留下的痕迹， 让人吃惊的是：我们的梦想常常只是梦。 So I’m here to talk to you today about five ways how not to follow your dreams.

今天我在这里要讲的就是 5个如何毁灭梦想的办法：

One: Believe in overnight success.

1、 相信一夜成名

You know the story, right? The tech guy built a mobile app and sold it very fast for a lot of money. You know the story may seem real, but I bet it’s incomplete. If you go investigate further, the guy has done 30 apps before and he has done a master’s on the topic, a Ph.D. He has been working on the topic for 20 years.

你肯定听过这样的故事： 一个技术男开发了一个移动应用，并迅速转卖赚了很多钱。这个故事可能是真的，但是很可能是不完整的。如果你深入研究就发现，这个人在之前已经开发了30个应用，他有相关的硕士和博士学历，他研究这个领域已经20年了。

This is really interesting. I myself have a story in Brazil that people think is an overnight success. I come from a humble family, and two weeks before the deadline to apply to MIT, I started the application process. And,

voila! I got in.People may think it’s an overnight success, but that only worked because for the 17 years prior to that I took life and education seriously. You overnight success story is always a result of everything you’ve done in your life through that moment.

这很有意思。我自己本身在巴西也是一个“一夜成名”的故事。我来自一个普通家庭，麻省理工大学（MIT）申请截止日期两个星期前，我开始申请。哇啦，我被录取了！人们可能认为这是“一夜成名”，但是这背后是我17年来对生活和教育的执着努力。 “一夜成名”总是你之前所有努力加起来的结果。

Two: Believe someone else has the answers for you.

2、相信别人有你需要的答案

Constantly, people want to help out, right? All sorts of people: your family, your friends, your business partners, they all have opinions on which path you should take. “And let me tell you, go through this pipe.” But whenever you go inside, there are other ways you have to pick as well. And you need to make those decisions yourself.

人们总是很乐意帮助，对吗？各种各样的人。你的家人、朋友、商业伙伴， 他们都觉得你应该这样或那样做。“听我说，走这个管道。” 但是你进到里边，你还需做出其他的选择， 而你需要自己做出这些选择。

No one else has the perfect answers for your life. And you need to keep picking those decisions, right? The pipes are infinite and you’re going to bump your head, and it’s a part of process.

没有人能给你的人生提供完美的答案，你自己需要做出决定，对吗？管道无穷无尽，你可能会磕到头，这是这个过程的一部分。

Three: and it’s very subtle but very important.

Decide to settle when growth is guaranteed. So when your life is going great, you have put together a great team, and you have growing revenue and everything is set. Time to settle.

第三点不太明显但是很重要。你的生活很不错，你组建的团队很棒。你们的收入持续增长，一切都很好―― 可以休息了。

When I launched my first book, I worked really hard to distribute it everywhere in Brazil. With that over three million people downloaded it, over 50000 people bought physical copies. When I wrote a sequel, some impact was guaranteed. Even if I did little, sales would be okay. But okay is never okay. When you’re growing towards a peak, you need to work harder than ever and find yourself another peak. Maybe if I did little, a couple hundred thousand people would read it, and that’s great already. But if I work harder than ever, I can bring this number up to millions. That’s why I decided, with my new book to go to every single state of Brazil. And I can already see a higher peak. There’s no time to settle down.

在我出版了我的第一本书之后，我非常努力在巴西到处宣传。伴随我的努力，超过300万人下载了这本书， 超过5万人买了印刷版。当我写续集的时候，影响力已经得到保障，即使我只付出一点点，销售量也应该还可以。但是“还可以”，是永远不够的。

当你朝着一个顶峰前进的时候，你需要更加努力来找到另一个顶峰。也许如果我只付出一点点，几十万人会读续集，这固然很棒，但是如果我付出前所未有的努力，我可以把这个数字推到几百万。这就是为什么我决定把我的新书介绍到巴西的每一个州，我已经能够看到一个更高的顶峰。没有时间止步。

Fourth tip, and that’s really important. Believe the fault is someone else’s.

4、相信错误永远是别人的

I constantly see people saying, “Yes, I had this great idea, but no investor had the vision to invest.” “Oh, I created this great product, but the market is so bad, the sales didn’t go well.” or “I can’t find good talent, my team is so below expectations.”

第四点是非常重要的一点。我经常听到人们说： “是的，我有过一个非常好的想法， 但是没有有远见的投资者愿意投资。” “哦，我做了这个很棒的产品，但是市场太糟糕了，销售情况不是很好。” 或者，“我找不到人才，我的团队实在太差了。”

If you have dreams, it’s your responsibility to make them happen. Yes, it may be hard to find talent. Yes, the market may be bad. But if no one invested in your idea, if no one brought your product, for sure, there is something there that is your fault.

如果你有梦想，让梦想实现是你的责任。是的，人才也许很难找，是的，市场也许很糟糕，但是如果没有人愿意对你的想法进行投资，如果没有人买你的产品，这其中肯定是因为你做错了什么。

Definitely. You need to get your dreams and make them happen. And no one achieved their goals alone. But if you didn’t make them happen, it’s your fault and no one else’s. Be responsible for your dreams.

肯定！你需要努力把你的梦想变成现实。没有人可以一个人单独实现梦想， 但是如果你不努力实现它，那是你自己的错而非他人。你需要对你的梦想负责。

And one last tip, and this one is really important as well. Believe that the

only things that matter are the dreams themselves. Once I saw an ad, and it was a lot of friends, there were going up a mountain, it was a very high mountain, and it was a lot of work. You could see that they were sweating and this was tough. And they were going up, and they finally made it to the peak. Of course, they decided to celebrate, right? “Yes! We made it, we’re at the top!” Two seconds later, one looks at the other and says, “Okay, let’s go down.”

5、相信只有梦想本身是最重要的

最后一点也是非常重要的一点。我曾经看到过一个广告， 很多朋友在一起， 我们在爬山，这是一座很高的山，他们爬得很辛苦，你能看到他们汗流浃背很累，他们往上爬,最终爬到了顶峰。 当然，他们决定庆祝，对吗？ 开始庆祝，有人说 “耶！我们到啦，我们到达顶峰啦！” 两秒钟以后，其中两人互相看了看说： “那么，我们下山吧。”

Life is never about the goals themselves. Life is about the journey, yes you should enjoy the goals themselves, but people think that you have dreams, but people think that you have dreams and whenever you get to reaching one of those dreams, it’s a magical place where happiness will be all around, but achieving a dream is a momentary sensation, and your life is not.

人生不是关于目标本身，而是关于旅程。 当然，你应该享受目标本身，但是人们往往觉得如果你有梦想，而你实现梦想的时候， 那是一个神奇的地方，那里被幸福环绕。 但是梦想实现的那一刻只是短暂的瞬间，而你的人生不是一瞬。

The only way to really achieve all of your dreams is to fully enjoy every step of your journey. That is best way. And your journey is simple it’s made of steps. Some steps will be right on. Sometimes you will trip. If it’s right on, celebrate, because some people wait a lot to celebrate. And if you tripped, turn that into something to learn. If every step becomes something to learn or something to celebrate, you will for sure enjoy the journey.

真正实现所有梦想的唯一办法就是：尽情享受旅程的每一步。 这是最好的办法。你的旅程很简单―― 它是由一步一步组成的。有的你会走得很顺利，有的时候你也会被绊倒。如果很顺利，那么庆祝吧，因为有的人等很久才能庆祝，如果被绊倒了，把它变成学习的机会。如果每一步都是用来学习或者庆祝，你肯定会享受这个旅程。

So, five tips. Believe in overnight success. Believe someone else has the answers for you. Believe that when growth is guaranteed you should

settle down. Believe the fault is someone else’s. And believe that only the goals themselves matter. Believe me, if you do that, you will destroy your dreams.

总结一下，5个办法：相信一夜成名，相信别人有你需要的答案，相信在一时的成功面前应该止步，相信错误永远是别人的，相信只有目标本身是重要的。相信我，如果你做了以上这些，你肯定能成功毁灭你的梦想。

 

第二篇：中小学英语演讲稿[1]

Yes, we can

This is for my people who just lost somebody, your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady. Lift your head to the sky, we will never say bye.

These are words of the song Bye-Bye. Every time when I hear it, I’ll always lose myself in grief recalling the tough time we came through in 2008.

The snow storm, the Tibet issue, the obstruction to the Olympic torch relay，the earthquake……Time dates back to the day the horrible earth quake

occurred in Sichuan, tens of thousands of people lost life and families. I’ll never forget those days I sat front of the TV, moved by people never gave up under ruins even there’s little hope to survive. I’ll never forget those days most newspapers and websites were all in black and white. I’ll never forget those days I had my black coat on, writing down my best wishes to the suffering people.

At the same time, I also remember those days my friends abroad told me that they joined in the protest against western world’s bias on China and the fight against the Tibetan separatists. I can still remember the day when I went to see the torch relay at Hangzhou with heart shaped stickers on cheek. I wore the T-shirt with words Light the Passion, Light the Dream . When the torch passed by, we cheered Go China, Go Beijing, sang the national anthem again and again, waving flags, dancing, hugging, clapping.

It was the opening ceremony of 2008 Beijing Olympic Games which shocked the whole world and told the entire human Yes, we can.

Yes, we can, because we are united and brave

Yes, we can because we have trust and love

Yes, we can because we are the member of the great nation China

I love you, China.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I’m very glad to make a speech here. Today my topic is “I love you, China.”

Since the day I was born, I began to have a proud name—Chinese. Since the day I began to talk, the most beautiful sentence I’ve ever learnt has been “I love you, China!”

I love you, China, and I’m so proud of being a Chinese. I’m proud that I’ve got the beautiful yellow skin, black eyes and black hair. I’m also proud that I speak the most beautiful language in the world—Chinese.

I love you, China, for I can feel the deep love you give me every day, every minute. Last year, I got an opportunity to visit the United States of America. During my staying there, my father’s boss once invited my family to dinner. While at , he looked at me and asked: “Little girl, how long have you been in America?” “About a month,” I answered, “How lucky you are!” he said, “If you were living in China, how could you learn such perfect English?” I smiled and told him proudly that all the students in China are able to learn English at

school. I saw his surprised eyes and said to myself, “I’m proud of you, China ”

I believe my dream

I believe my dream

我相信我的梦想

Hello good evening everyone!My name is ....

你好晚上好大家好!我的名字是...。

I’m so happy that I can be admitted by my dreamed school. The new campus gives me a new start so I have a dream that the future me can rise out this small world and hold a place of myself, after several years’ experience .

我太高兴了，我可以承认我的梦想学校。新校园给了我一个新的开始，所以我有一个梦想，今后我可以摆脱这个小世界和举行地点的我，经过几年的经验。

In order to make this dream come true, I ask myself not only focus my attention on studies ,because I should face all the society not only my

textbooks or my classmates.

为了使这一梦想成真，我问自己，不仅集中了我的注意学习，因为我应该面对所有的社会不仅是我的教科书或我的同学。

I think college is also a small society where I can improve myself .For example I should learn how to get along with other though I may dislike

them ,or how to deal with things that I used regard as worthless and so on.. 我认为，大学也是一个小社会里，我可以提高自己。例如我应该学会如何相处与其他虽然我可能不喜欢他们，或如何处理的事情，我使用方面的毫无价值的，等等..

Then I sincerely hope I can find my true friends so that we can struggle for our dreams together!

然后，我真诚地希望我能找到我真正的朋友，使我们能够为我们的斗争中共同的梦想!

Although every thing is unforeseeable, I believe my dream will come true as long as I stick to them and never give up!

虽然每个事情是无法预料的，我相信我的梦想将成为现实，只要我坚持，决不放弃!

Finally , I’d like to conclude by thanking everyone who has worked so hard to make this address possible. Thank you!

最后，我想最后感谢大家谁的工作都很努力，使这个地址可能的。谢谢您!

I love english

As everyone knows,English is very important today.It has been used

everywhere in the world.It has become the most common language on

Internet and for international trade. If we can speak English well,we will have more chance to succeed.Because more and more people have taken notice of it,the number of the people who go to learn English has increased at a high speed.

正如每个人所知，英语在今天十分重要。它已经被应用到世界的各个角落。它已经成为商业上最为通用的一门语言并广泛的用于国际贸易。如果我们能说好英语，我们就有更多的机会成功。因为越来越多的人注意到这一点，学英语的人数正在已很高的速度增长。 But for myself,I learn English not only because of its importance and its

usefulness,but also because of my love for it.When I learn English, I can feel a different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world.When I read English novels,I can feel the pleasure from the book which is different from reading the translation.When I speak English, I can feel the confident from my words.When I write English,I can see the beauty which is not the same as our Chinese...

但是对我而言，我学英语不仅仅因为它的重要性以及它的实用性，更是因为我喜爱英语。当我学英语时，我可以体会到一种不同的思维方式，它可以给我更多接触世界的空间。当我读英语小说时，我能感受到不同于阅读翻译文的快乐。当我说英语时，我可以感到自信。当我写英语时，我能够感到不同于汉语的那种美……

I love English,it gives me a colorful dream.I hope I can travel around the world one day. With my good English, I can make friends with many people from different contries.I can see many places of great intrests.I dream that I can go to London,because it is the birth place of English.

我爱英语，它给了我一个色彩斑斓的梦。我希望有朝一日我可以畅游世界，用我流利的英语，我可以和世界各地的人交友。我能看到许多的名胜。我希望我能够到伦敦去，因为那里是英语的故乡。

I also want to use my good English to introduce our great places to the English spoken people,I hope that they can love our country like us.

我也希望用我流利的英语来将我们的名胜介绍给说英语的朋友，我希望他们可以像我们一样的爱我们的国家。

I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.

我知道，罗马不是一天筑成的。（成功需要日积月累。）我相信在持续不断的努力学习下，总有一天我可以拥有一口流利的英语。

If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.

如果你想被爱，你就应该学着去爱他人。所以我相信我对英语的爱定将换来它对我的爱。 I am sure that I will realize my dream one day!

我相信总有一天我会实现我的梦！

Thank you!

谢谢！
