Choice in my life

Good evening, ladies and gentleman! I’m Limudan, a sophomore from class 1. Today, I’d like to share something about the choice in my life.

We know life is all of choices. Although we can not make a tree to blossom and to suit us, nor make it bear food before it’s time, but there are things we can choose. We can control when the fruit will fall, and we can choose what time to seed. Since everybody is born equal like a piece of white paper. What our life would choose to be (in this same paper) is depended on ourselves own.

About one and a half year ago, I made one of the most important choices in my life, to choose a special field as my major, English. But, in fact, I was admitted to Chinese department at first. As I had less interest on it, I wanted to choose another one. Then, it is my generous father who gave me a second chance. I took it seriously. At last, I chose English as my major for the next 4 years. Now, my paper is full of English, though it troubles me sometime, I will never feel regret for my choice. Because, just like Confucius, an ancient Chinese philosopher said, ‘Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.’ Therefore, English is not a matter of job to me, but a lifelong friend.

However, no matter how I love English, all is just my own choice of attitude. There must be someone who is not interested in it. So, what

would you do? Should you give up then? Of course not! Be patient and wise please. Choosing a positive attitude will surely bring you much more happiness. Just regard it as a friend in your life. We should know that life is to be lived, savored and enjoyed; it’s too short to be wasted or complained about.

Every morning when we get up, we have a choice on how we want to approach life that day. Make it or waste it? It’s all depended on you. J.K. Rowing, the author of Harry Potter said, ’It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.’ So to be or not to be, it’s your choice!

Thanks for your attention!

 

第二篇：attitude matters most in life 英语作文 演讲稿

In life，attitude matters most

What is the most important factor in life leading to happiness, success and richness? I believe most of us will be curious about this question and come up with numerous answers. Some may say:” endowment is the most important. These who are gifted with talent can make achievement with little effort.” Well others may disagree. They may think it is privileged social position. As far as I am concerned, in life attitude matters most. Attitude will influence our career, interpersonal relationships and even our whole life, because our behavior is always determined by our attitude. First, positive attitude helps one to keep happy, and happiness itself is a huge wealth in life. Then, positive attitude make one more confident, and confidence plays important role to one’s success, success enrich your life. Finally, when one owns happiness and success, positive attitude helps him treat his wealth correctly, so he will get real spiritual enjoyment. So, positive attitude do good to one’s life.

May be I can cite a story as an example. Long ago, an old lady had two sons both doing business. The elder one owned a grocery store selling umbrella, while the young one sold fans. Therefore, the old lady worried about her elder son when the sun was shining. But she also got anxious when it rained, because her young one would had bad business. Her neighbor found her suffered from worry and sympathized with her. He

told the lady that when it rained, the umbrella sold well, while when it was sunny, the fans were popular. From that day on, the old lady wore a smile with great delight all the time. The weather never changed. It was the attitude that the lady held changed.

As we can see from the story, positive attitude is just like alchemic transformation which turns stone into gold. When our attitude change, the consequence become better. It gives you the confidence to confront tough difficulties and give you the abilities to tap into your endowments to lead a meaningful life. Just like Richard Devos puts it: An optimistic attitude is not a luxury, it's a necessity .The way you look at life will determine how you feel, how you perform ,and how well you will get along with other people .
