Personality and Dream

I was told many many times that the most important and the most difficult thing in this world is to know yourself well and to see through yourself. Before my speech, I would like to do a survey. What is your personality or what are your personalities? Definitely, different people has different answers. Maybe you will say: “I am outgoing.” Maybe you will say: “I am optimistic.” Maybe she will say: “oh, it is hard to express.” No matter whatever your answer is, in my opinion, your personality decides your dream, your fate , your future even your life. Many many years ago my father told me: “Son, generally speaking you are excellent. I am proud of you.You have a lot of good personalities, such as: honest, hard-working, diligent, optimistic, generous, except vanity. All these are good for you, but probably one day vanity will kill you and kill your dream.” I didn’t understand what my father said at that time. Vanity? V-A-N-I-T-Y. What is the meaning? Vanity is similar to arrogance. Vanity means that you take too much pride in your ability or your achievements. For example, this task is beyond your ability. It is impossible for you to achieve it. But you think you can finish it very well. At last you fail to do it. You become a loser and an underdog in the end. That is called vanity. That is caused by vanity. After my father’s talking, many many years passed. I completely forgot what my father had said. After that ,I made a lot of dreams come true, such as: to be a university student after many years’ hard-working, having a good job with a good salary in a university in Jiangsu province, and having a beautiful wife and a beautiful daughter, to study abroad to get my master degree successfully, even to act as simultaneous interpreter to make big money and having my own training school with many students. I was successful and I was named as so-called successful person. I achieved a lot. I was proud of myself. I believed myself too much. So two years ago one of my friends persuaded me to do business in Africa. I was moved and excited about what he said. So a big dream was born in my mind. All my family members stopped me to do that. Their opinion was that there are a lot of risks and adventures to do business in Africa. But finally I decided to go to Africa regardless of their feelings and advice. And finally I was cheated by local people in Africa. And finally I was a loser and an underdog. I suffered a great loss, at least ten million RMB. Just like a magic, I was turned into a penniless guy from a rich-man and I was in a great debt. All my friends and family members went away from me, including my wife and my daughter. That is a good example to show that vanity killed me and personality decides dream. My father is quite right. “One day vanity will kill you and kill your dream.” Now it reminds me sometimes ,especially when I make a big decision to do something. Right now I am in Yiwu to start my own business again. Right now my dream is to help middle school students to pass entrance examination easily and smoothly in a short time even if their English level is poor and low. Right now my current dream often reminds me to keep away from vanity because of my previous doings. Luckily it works now. That is: dream changes personality. So in order to make your dream come true, you are advised to remove and throw away the personality that brings you bad luck.Throw away and throw away bad personality! Thank you!

关于梦想的2分钟英文演讲稿

My dream

I enter tile university after years of hardstudy and preparation. But life in the university is not as satisfactory as what I had expected. I become lazy and don't want to study.I become silcent. I become puzzled. I don't know what I can do in the future. Then I become unhappy. Four years in the university is only a short period when compared my whole lifetime. Now it has passed a half. In this year, many people ,such as my parents,my friends, ask me what I want to do and tell me to map out a plan for my life. I don't want to follow their suggestion, and I want to go my style. So I think carefully. I have been a young volunteer for five years.It's very happy and significant. Then I have a dream.I want to join the University Student Volunteers Go West Programe. I think I can be a teacher in the west.I want to try my best to help them and help me. I want to see the world cearly. Now I can't reach its demand and it's very diffcult,but I will work hard in the next two years. There is an old saying"where there is a will,there is a way."I think my dream can come ture.Now in the university I mature,and in the university I prepare for the real world.

At last,I want to say to everybody"Hlod fast to your dreams,no matter how big or small they are.The path to dreams may not be smooth and wide,even some sacrifices are needed.But hold on to the end,you can find there is no geater happiness than making your dream come ture."
