Dear judges and students:
Hello everyone! The theme of my speech today is grateful heart.
The famous philosopher Kant said: There are two things. The more we think of them repeatedly, the more they inject ever-changing admiration and awe into people's hearts. This is the starry sky above my head and a grateful heart. Students, the society has trained us and the university has educated us. We should not only understand and conquer the starry sky overhead, but also abide by a grateful heart.
We came to the university, just like a blank disk, copying knowledge and spirit from the university computer. Our time is limited, but the hard disk we face is the biggest ... What we should do is to seize all the time to copy the university spirit we have experienced, and then use our life to interpret it. More importantly, we should have a grateful heart. At the same time, we should ask ourselves, what is left in our hearts?
At this moment, I can't help thinking of my parents who miss them day and night. Their familiar figures have appeared in my dreams many times, but when they are sweating in the fields, my son can't take their place and let them have a good rest ... I hope my thoughts can turn into a faint cup of green tea, and when I am tired, I will send them a fragrance. I am very grateful to my parents, so I never live up to their ardent hopes for me, always insist and never back down.
Thank heaven and earth, thank fate, although the world is vast and the road is bumpy, as long as I am grateful, I will try my best to be myself and I will cherish it as well.
Students, it's really hard to be a man, and it's even harder to be a good person!
Look at this photo in my hand. Maybe you've seen it. Its author has won many photography awards. This is kevin carter. However, he died in the praise of others. Do you know why? In fact, the reason is in this photo. During the period of 1993, famine broke out all over Sudan, and the famine was terrible. At an extremely accidental moment, kevin carter saw a vulture standing on a broken wall, staring at a skinny little girl. At the moment when the vulture pounced on the little girl, artistic inspiration flashed in his mind and he took this photo. However, this little girl has become a delicacy in the mouth of vultures. Although he won the coveted honor, he always thought that his success was caused by a little girl, but now he can't repay it. The death of the little girl brought so-called success. He could never get rid of his inner pain, so he left with a grateful heart.
A grateful heart is the backbone of human nature. If we can't build a dam of gratitude on the dam of the soul, we will easily lose our true self driven by desire and lose our conscience under the temptation of money. Grateful heart, only a grateful heart can prop up the building of human nature and make the world full of love.
In 2007, a singer named Cong Fei deeply touched everyone in China. However, he left us on April 20th this year. "Good Cong Fei" has just left, and his spirit has touched our generation. However, when he was seriously ill, some students he sponsored didn't even say hello, and even parents of children called to collect money. What kind of society is this ... I don't have the courage to face this ungrateful group. What makes people even more angry is that a college student funded by Cong Fei has now become a teacher, but he is furious because the media disclosed his name. A college student named Jane, also sponsored by Cong Fei, saw her classmates using MD at school. She actually asked Cong Fei to send her one, but she became a singer after graduation, but she never contacted Cong Fei. Students, imagine how such an ungrateful person can have a conscience.
In fact, our life is full of gratitude. I still remember last semester, Academician Zhong Zui gave us a report. He stood for five hours to give us a report on extreme manufacturing, and Academician Jin, who sat in a wheelchair and smiled every afternoon ... It is really a kind of happiness to live in such a university campus. Have we ever been grateful? I think we should thank life with a sincere heart, and thank those who silently pay for our growth. Because of gratitude, our hearts are always touched. We repay all this with love, and we have unspeakable joy in our hearts. ...
Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. Taste with your own heart. This is a classic dialogue in Forrest Gump. He emphasizes a simple and peaceful attitude towards life and learns to cherish and be grateful.
Students, the goal of first-class universities is not so much how many scientists and entrepreneurs there are among their graduates, but rather that they are always cultivating thousands of honest and grateful people.
Student: Heaven is strong, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement. We will fly in the future sky with a grateful heart.
The beginning of this speech played a role in attracting the attention of the listeners; Provide background knowledge for the audience; Explain the structure of the speech to the audience; Explain the purpose of the speech to the audience; Can stimulate the interest of the audience; Can win the trust of the audience. Daniel webster said: "If someone wants to take away all my wealth and only one thing remains, then I will choose eloquence, because with it, I will soon have all other wealth." Talking is a very difficult thing, and a good beginning is even more valuable. If you want to attract the attention of the audience, the way you choose to speak should vary with the theme, audience and scene. Generally, we can use famous sayings, examples, experiences, quotations and humor to achieve this goal.
In addition, pay attention to the key terms that should be clearly explained to the audience at the beginning. We want the audience to understand some terms or concepts in the speech, so it is necessary to explain key terms at the beginning of the speech. For example, the vice president of a company used this skill very well when he gave a speech at a press conference: public relations, in short, refers to "relations with the public", that is, any relationship involving companies or individuals. Its main purpose is to effectively use the media-most commonly in written form-to seek the best impression or image for the company.
Major General Rufus L. Tan rapps of the US Air Force gave a speech at the banquet at Chanute Air Force Base, introducing the background knowledge of Black Heritage Week and its importance to the US Air Force:
"I am very happy to be here, and I am very grateful to be invited to discuss the issue of African-Americans with you. In order to maintain and enhance inter-racial understanding, American states began to commemorate "Black Heritage Week". At Chanute Air Force Base, we celebrate that it can provide a complete education for the US Air Force.
The theme of our country is: "Black history, the torch of the future." This commemorative activity, which has become a part of American life, was first proposed and planned by Carter G. Wooderson of Newcanton, Virginia. He is now called the "father of black history" in America. Mr. Wooderson founded the American Black Life and History Association on 19 15. Later, he launched "Black Heritage Week" on 1926. ...
Speakers are usually regarded as experts and authorities in certain fields. However, the audience is often unfamiliar with or knows little about the theme of the speech, so it is necessary to tell the background and knowledge related to the theme at the beginning, so that the audience can understand the theme of the speech and highlight its importance. John F. McKillicadi, Chairman and President of Hanover Trust Manufacturing Company, clearly stated the structure and scope of his speech at the beginning of his speech:
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I am honored to attend this authoritative business forum in China at the invitation of Director Coleman-from the viewpoint, it can be compared with the economic clubs in Detroit and new york.
First of all, I will look forward to the recent domestic economic situation. I don't think it is as serious as people sometimes think.
Secondly, talk about the influence of the recent economic growth of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries on the international economic growth-this is a painful thing for many countries, including ourselves, but it is completely controllable.
Thirdly, I'd like to make some comments on the President's energy proposal. I think this is both encouraging and disappointing. Finally, I will talk about my personal views on the phenomenon that speech has gradually become a fashion and necessity, as well as the current situation in the United States. "Speech, if the theme of the speech is very complicated and professional, you still need to demonstrate several points. The opening part should be used to summarize the content of the speech, so that the audience can understand the central idea and structure of the speech and make the speech easy to understand and orderly.
James robinson III, Chairman of American Express Company, stated the purpose of his speech to the audience in a short time of 15 seconds: "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to show. Advertising alliance is an important part of American communication industry. At present, the American communication industry still faces many problems, and the burden falls on everyone's shoulders. The purpose of my speech today is to talk about my views on these issues and the challenges they bring. " The purpose of a speech should be stated at the beginning of the speech. Otherwise, the audience will misunderstand the purpose of the speech, and even begin to doubt the motivation of the speaker, or hold the opposite view with the speaker. At this time, if you want to change the audience's point of view and make the speech successful, you need to build the audience's trust in the speaker. Two experts, Jeffrey and Peterson, made the following suggestions on this issue:
(1) acknowledges the existence of differences, but emphasizes common views and goals;
(2) Refuting attacks on the speaker's reputation and behavior even before listening to the speech;
(3) Denying that the motive of speech is selfish and personal;
(4) Arouse the audience's sense of justice and make them listen to the speech carefully.
Donald Rogers, a speech consultant, aroused the audience's interest by expressing his concern about the audience's needs in a speech at the Rochester branch of the American Accounting Association: "The topic of my speech tonight is' information disclosure'. Before deciding on this topic, I first consulted the local accounting yearbook booklet and the academic special issue of the National Accounting Association, and then asked my colleagues Alex Levinston and Dave Hansen,' Who are the people who came to the lecture tonight? "What do they want me to say?" They told me that all of you here were very enthusiastic people and hoped that my speech would be interesting and enlightening. So I will tell you some useful knowledge, and I hope my speech will be brief and to the point, leaving some time for questions. "
In essence, people are very utilitarian. Only when they think they will gain something, will they often listen attentively to speeches. The hardest part is actually in the beginning The beginning plays an important role in the development of the whole event, and it can also be said that it determines the smooth development of the situation. In everything, if you want to have a good start, you must prepare more.
