Dear:

Imagineabigexplosionasyouclimbthrough3,000ft.Imagineaplanefullofsmoke.Imagineanenginegoingclack,clack,clack,clack,clack,clack,clack.Itsoundsscary.

想像一个大爆炸,当你在三千多英尺的高空;想像机舱内布满黑烟,想像引擎发出喀啦、喀啦、喀啦、喀啦、喀啦的声响,听起来很可怕。

WellIhadauniqueseatthatday.Iwassittingin1D.Iwastheonlyonewhocantalktotheflightattendants.SoIlookedatthemrightaway,andtheysaid,"Noproblem.Weprobablyhitsomebirds."Thepilothadalreadyturnedtheplanearound,andwewerentthatfar.YoucouldseeManhattan.

那天我的位置很特別,我坐在1D,我是唯一可以和空服员说话的人,于是我立刻看着他们,他们说,“没问题,我们可能撞上鸟了。”机长已经把机头转向,我们离目的地很近,已经可以看到曼哈顿了。

Twominuteslater,3thingshappenedatthesametime.ThepilotlinesuptheplanewiththeHudsonRiver.Thatsusuallynottheroute.Heturnsofftheengines.Nowimaginebeinginaplanewithnosound.Andthenhesays3words-themostunemotional3wordsIveeverheard.Hesays,"Braceforimpact."

两分钟以后,三件事情同时发生:机长把飞机对齐哈德逊河,一般的航道可不是这样。他关上引擎。想像坐在一架没有声音的飞机上。然后他说了几个字,我听过最不带情绪的几个字,他说,“即将迫降,小心冲击。”

Ididnthavetotalktotheflightattendantanymore.Icouldseeinhereyes,itwasterror.Lifewasover.

我不用再问空服员什么了。我可以在她眼神里看到恐惧,人生结束了。

NowIwanttosharewithyou3thingsIlearnedaboutmyselfthatday.

现在我想和你们分享那天我所学到的三件事。

Ileantthatitallchangesinaninstant.Wehavethisbucketlist,wehavethesethingswewanttodoinlife,andIthoughtaboutallthepeopleIwantedtoreachouttothatIdidnt,allthefencesIwantedtomend,alltheexperiencesIwantedtohaveandIneverdid.AsIthoughtaboutthatlateron,Icameupwithasaying,whichis,"collectbadwines".Becauseifthewineisreadyandthepersonisthere,Imopeningit.Inolongerwanttopostponeanythinginlife.Andthaturgency,thatpurpose,hasreallychangedmylife.

在那一瞬间内,一切都改变了。我们的人生目标清单,那些我们想做的事,所有那些我想联络却没有联络的人,那些我想修补的围墙,人际关系,所有我想经历却没有经历的事。之后我回想那些事,我想到一句话,那就是,“我收藏的酒都很差。”因为如果酒已成熟,分享对象也有,我早就把把酒打开了。我不想再把生命中的任何事延后,这种紧迫感、目标性改变了我的生命。

ThesecondthingIlearntthatday-andthisisaswecleartheGeorgeWashingtonbridge,whichwasbynotalot-Ithoughtabout,wow,Ireallyfeelonerealregret,Ivelivedagoodlife.Inmyownhumanityandmistaked,IvetiredtogetbetterateverythingItried.Butinmyhumanity,Ialsoallowmyegotogetin.AndIregrettedthetimeIwasted

那天我学到的第二件事是,正当我们通过乔治华盛顿大桥,那也没过多久,我想,哇,我有一件真正后悔的事。虽然我有人性缺点,也犯了些错,但我生活得其实不错。我试着把每件事做得更好。但因为人性,我难免有些自我中心,我后悔竟然花了许多时间,和生命中重要的人讨论那些不重要的事。我想到我和妻子、朋友及人们的关系,之后,回想这件事时,我决定除掉我人生中的负面情绪。还没完全做到,但确实好多了。过去两年我从未和妻子吵架,感觉很好,我不再尝试争论对错,我选择快乐。

我所学到的第三件事是,当你脑中的始终开始倒数“15,14,13”,看到水开始涌入,心想,“拜托爆炸吧!”我不希望这东西碎成20片,就像纪录片中看到的那样。当我们逐渐下沉,我突然感觉到,哇,死亡并不可怕,就像是我们一生一直在为此做准备,但很令人悲伤。我不想就这样离开,我热爱我的生命。这个悲伤的主要来源是,我只期待一件事,我只希望能看到孩子长大。

Aboutamonthlater,Iwasataperformancebymydaugter-first-grade,notmuchartistictalent…yet.AndImballing,Imcrying,likealittlekid.Anditmadeallthesenseintheworldtome.Irealizedatthatpointbyconnectingthosetwodots,thattheonlythingthatmattersinmylifeisbeingagreatdad.Aboveall,aboveall,theonlygoalIhaveinlifeistobeagooddad.

一个月后,我参加女儿的表演,她一年级,没什么艺术天份,就算如此。我泪流满面,像个孩子,这让我的世界重新有了意义。当当时我意识到,将这两件事连接起来,其实我生命中唯一重要的.事,就是成为一个好父亲,比任何事都重要,比任何事都重要,我人生中唯一的目标就是做个好父亲。

Iwasgiventhegiftofamiracle,ofnotdyingthatday.Iwasgivenanothergift,whichwastobeabletoseeintothefutureandcomebackandlivedifferently.

那天我经历了一个奇迹,我活下來了。我还得到另一个启示,像是看见自己的未来再回來,改变自己的人生。

我鼓励今天要坐飞机的各位,想像如果你坐的飞机出了同样的事,最好不要,但想像一下,你会如何改变?有什么是你想做却没做的,因为你觉得你有其它机会做它?你会如何改变你的人际关系,不再如此负面?最重要的是,你是否尽力成为一个好父母?

Thankyou.

谢谢。

ted演讲稿范文3

希特勒曾经说过:“推动历史发展的只有两种力量,宗教的力量和语言的力量。”

语言的力量!他自己就是一个语言家,正是他的言语将他推上了至高无上的政治王座。变得无比疯狂,强大。再回想我国古代,战国时期,七国争霸,那些纵横于政治舞台之上,活跃于各国之间,最终留名青史的人,不也都是靠着一条三寸不烂之舌吗?语言的力量,推动历史的力量!

中国人越来越爱说朝鲜人民的笑话了,越来越爱说这个致力于让人民吃上米饭的国家的笑话了,这个住着世界上最幸福的人民的国家。

朝鲜人民说:“这个世界上,我们是最幸福!”

朝鲜人来到了中国探亲,忽遇一农家小院,遂入,发现地上有一铁碗,里面盛满了白米饭,还有一些肉片,想不起自己是在多少年前吃过这样的饭了,她异常感动,“中国人民其实真幸福!”正当这时,这家的草狗跑进来,或论好听一点中国田园犬,回来吃饭了,而饭就是地上那碗……

又记一朝鲜官员来到中国考察,西装革履,十分体面,中国人民当然也十分好客,夜夜都是五星级,待他走了,中国人傻了眼,五星级宾馆,被洗劫空了……

记得我们小学老师论过:“去朝鲜,就可以有大富翁的感觉……”

虽然事实十分残酷,但中国人这样不好,幸灾乐祸,更何况自己也好不到哪里去,最后还伤害了人家民族自尊心。

又想起了那句“这世界上,我们最幸福”的口号,但这一次,它却是如此的空洞,飘渺,微弱。朝鲜人民万岁,共产主义万岁!

语言,是事实的表现,是时代批评者的利剑,事实家的武器。但当其与事实不负,甚至相互矛盾时,他的力量终究也只是一时的,强大却稍纵即逝。

回首历史,强大的德意志终是灰飞烟灭,希特勒死于残垣断壁之中,六国虽在说客的舌下联合抗秦,但最终还是为强秦所征服。语言家所创造出的历史,最终还是被历史大潮所湮灭。

这就是语言的力量,所谓创造历史的力量,卖弄它的小丑们呀!终会为历史所唾弃。

亲爱的老师,同学们:

大家好!

紧张努力的高中生活已悄然逝去,迎面而来的是怎样的大学生活呢?在高中的时候,所以的人都抛弃所有的杂念,投入到紧张的学校中,为的就是那一次高考,那一场他们已经憧憬很久的大学生活。

在高中时,所有的老师都劝学生说抓紧时间学习吧,到了大学你就可以痛痛快快的玩了。所以每个人都觉得大学就像一个游乐场,可以肆无忌惮的玩耍。但当我们真正走进大学生活时,一切似乎都有了变化,入学后老师们又如同高中那样督促学生学习。密集的课程安排,早操,晚自习。一切似乎又回到了高中,紧张而又充分。但这就是我们的大学,我们的大学生活理应如此。

进入大学后我们面临的是新的环境。我们要适应我们周围的老师,同学。同时,我们面临的也有一次次的考生于测试。所以,我认为我们在大学中应该努力学习,坚持锻炼身体,学习和锻炼自己与人交往的能力。大学是奠定我们今后人生的基础,所以我们应合理安排我们的时间,积极参加学校活动,主动与老师和同学交流。

大学的生活是独立的,是不被干涉的。这里的一切几乎实现了我们的向往,但是这是一个半开放的小型社会,我们首先要学会处人处事,应付生活中的人情冷暖,或者他不会再把我们折磨成只懂得看尽人情世故的眸子,但觉对会把我们脸上的稚气脱落。大学的学习是我们中学时候不曾拥有的,完全靠自主自律自省。那么一挣脱束缚的我们是否如家张所期待的那样,所以我们应学会独立自主学习。

我想这就是我眼中的大学,在这几年,我们正值年轻气盛,在这里想一个蜕变的过程。无论是痛苦的,幸福的,都是我们人生一段值得珍藏的经历。

尊敬的老师,亲爱的各位同学:

大家好!

今天非常的荣幸,也非常的激动,我是一个酷爱演讲的人,很感谢大家可以给我此次机会让我展示自己。今天我想要演讲的题目是《我的大学生活》,感谢大家耐心的倾听!

在我们的生命旅程之中,有太多太多美好的记忆牵绊着我们。我相信也有很多像我一样喜欢生活,热爱生活的同学,在大学的时光里默默的努力,坚韧的成长,因为我们相信终究有一天,我们会实现自己,也会给他人带来更多的价值。所以这段努力且充满了斗志的时光,即将就是我人生之中最为璀璨的一段。这些美好的记忆,就这样的围绕着我,推动着我的成长,也告诉我往前走是唯一的归宿,不能回头看,更不会放弃,只有坚持,才是生活唯一的答案,也是我们大学生活唯一的答案。

我是一个非常喜欢旅行的人,我喜欢到处走走停停,看看祖国大好山河,看看大家在这个世界上忙碌的痕迹。为了可以旅行,我经常利用课余时间出去进行兼职,虽说兼职大家认为很简单,其实想要坚持也不是一件容易的事情,而我为了可以去旅行,坚持了一个学期,期间我收到工资之后,就会利用一段时间出去走走。也许很多人说,你这样的旅行方式不累吗?但是我想告诉大家的是,现在的我们是一名大学生,也是一名成年人,我们自己的生活应当自己的主宰,也许现在的我们确实还拿着父母的钱赖以生存,但是我们现在原本已具备生存下来的武器,那就是我们自己啊!所以,大学的生活请每个人都看重自己一些,其实你没有那么不堪,你可以通过自己的努力去追逐你喜欢你热爱的事情,大学的日子多么无忧无虑,千万不可浪费这样的韶光,也不可浪费这样明目的机会!

我的`大学生活像是一片海,有时候静谧非常,有时候就有些动荡不堪了。无论怎样,我想我们首先要做的就是把自己的专业学好,其次就是要好好的发展自己,培养自己。我们离踏入社会也已经不远了,不要总认为自己是个小孩,如果你真这么认为的话,也许很多人都会离你而去,因为你自己都不懂的成长,别人又怎么会和你并肩作战呢?所以同学们,就让我们一起珍惜大学的时光吧,韶光易逝,就让我们一起动身起来,追赶它吧!

我的演讲完毕,谢谢大家的倾听!

尊敬的老师们、亲爱的同学们:

大家好!

本学期,我们的第二轮课前演讲,采用了讲新闻的形式。几天前,有同学讲了游客破坏景区环境卫生的新闻,我对此深有感触。

中国有许多美丽的地方,人们去旅游观光。因此留下了许多垃圾,破坏了景区环境。新闻中,有一位游客带着他的两个孩子去参观景区。他发现地上有许多垃圾,便呼吁孩子们去捡。孩子们越捡越生气,人们留下了这么多垃圾,使得景区非常不美观。

这使我想到,每次去____公园时,总能看到很多很多的垃圾被人们扔在草地上,杂乱不堪,草地都显得不再生气勃勃了。每次看到这样的景象,我都气愤极了。____公园并不是非常出名的景点,都能被人们破坏成了这样,更何况那些驰名中外的景区呢?于是,我跑到草地上,默默地捡起地上的垃圾,扔进垃圾桶。

想象一下,如果每个人都随手丢下一些垃圾,那么所有中国人都这样做,会是什么景象呢?在一个原本美丽的景区中,留下这么多垃圾,人们都会躲得远远的。景区周围的住宅区,也会受到影响,谁会愿意住到这样的区域来呢?再想象一下,如果这样脏、乱、差的区域再多几个,恐怕整个地球环境都会破烂不堪,臭气熏天。

人类破坏景区、破坏自然,就是在破坏自己的生命之源,生存之本。如果再这样下去,终有一日,所有美丽的景区都会不复存在了!但是,如果人们每天都捡起一两个垃圾,那么所有中国人都这样做,又会是怎样的场景呢?那地球将会多么美好啊!

在此,我呼吁大家行动起来,为了我们美丽的家园,为了我们所向往的大自然,为了我们唯一的地球,请保护环境,不乱扔垃圾,体现出我们人类的文明举止!

谢谢大家!

ted演讲稿范文7

一个天生口吃的女孩,站在TED的讲台上,她要说她的故事,唱她的歌。这令我感触不少。

先说一说,看完这场演讲,我脑中闪现的两句话。第一句“上帝为你关闭一扇门,必定为你打来一扇窗。”第二句“太多的选择,反而让人无所适从。”

人有天生的差别,只是差别而已,不是差距。很多客观的、现实的因素,我们无法改变。我们能做的就是找到“上帝给我们开的那一扇窗”,并好好利用这扇窗。如果,你是一个有心人,你能透过这扇窗观看整个世界,也能让世界发现你的存在。而有些幸运的人,即使上帝给他们开了很多门,或许他们也从未走到门外去看看外面的世界。因为他们已经拥有很多门,足以看到许多风景,何必到外面经历没有屋檐的漂泊。所以,透过门看到的世界,不一定就比透过窗看到的世界更精彩。

我又想起美国诗人罗伯特·弗罗斯特的《未选择的路》“黄色的林子里有两条路,很遗憾我无法同时选择两者。”不管一个人年轻的时候有多少选择的机会,最终我们只能走一条路。而且,至于另外一条未选择的路,几乎从此就无缘再见。不管多年我们如何叹息,我们只能选择一条路,而且我们这一生已经被自己选择的`路改变了。另一条,只是遗憾,它也不一定就比我们选择的路更迷人。所以,不管是给定的路,还是能选择的路,过后都会或多或少留下遗憾。因为,一切没能经历的,错过的事,都会让我们怀念。假如当时我选择了另外一条路,或者我可以选择另外一条路??

总之,我们选择的路,或者被选择的路,就造成不同的人生,不同的我们。不管怎样,接受自己吧,真实的自己最特别。

再说一下这场演讲《这一次是TED演唱,因为演讲真的很恐怖!》主角MeganWashington,这个和我们有一点不同的女孩。她从小口吃,却发现唱歌能让她流畅地表达自己。她选择了唱歌,唱歌成就了她。来到TED讲台上,她没有用她培训过的“SmoothTalking”来做一场完美的演讲,即使她能够这样,也没有刻意的取乐观众。她让一个真实的自己显现在观众面前。我从她的眼神中,看到坦然、平静和坚定。

看完她的TED演讲,我搜到她唱歌的一些图片,和她的演讲一样,没有太多做出来的成分,一样的自我,或者忘我于她的音乐,她的内心情感。还有她的歌曲也如她本人一样,没有夸张表演,没有声嘶力竭的呐喊,好似平静的诉说,诉说她的期盼和隐忍。

正如她在演讲结尾时所说的“这不是TED演讲,是TED演唱”,好吧,我们可以这样站到世界的舞台上,让世界看到真实的自己。做自己吧,做到极致,世界都会认可你。

简介:残奥会短跑冠军aimeemullins天生没有腓骨,从小就要学习靠义肢走路和奔跑。如今,她不仅是短跑选手、演员、模特,还是一位稳健的演讲者。她不喜欢字典中“disabled”这个词,因为负面词汇足以毁掉一个人。但是,坦然面对不幸,你会发现等待你的是更多的机会。

ted演讲稿范文9

一直以来,我都是同学、家长眼中“别人家的孩子”,但大家有所不知的是,我一直在与一个“病魔”作斗争,它就是拖延症。

请不要惊讶,这个“病”已经伴随我很长时间了,可谓是根深蒂固。它有时轻,有时重,间歇发作。妈妈常常半开玩笑地说:“你这是病,得治!”

就拿上学期来说,美术老师要求我在6月30日前创作一幅《绿色承诺》手抄报。我心想,这还不容易,分分钟搞定!于是,这件事就被一拖再拖,结果直到交稿截止前一天,我才开始没日没夜、加班加点地赶“工程”。就这样,原来有一两个月的充裕时间,被我拖到了最后一天。这场较量,拖延症“完胜”。

再拿一次写作文来说吧。原来我给自己定下了两个小时完成的目标,这时,拖延症跳出来了:“反正有两个小时嘛,不妨先看会书,找找灵感?”我欣然应允了它的请求,开始肆无忌惮地看起杂书来。不知不觉,一个小时过去了,我开始有些着急,把书扔到一旁,心想:作文该如何开头呢?冥思苦想之际,我又瞥见了书架上的杂志……

就这样,我的时间被这个大恶魔一点点蚕食了,原本绰绰有余的作文时间打水漂了。这一次,我又惜败了。

当然,更多时间,我会提前作好计划安排并严格执行,这时,拖延症的嚣张气焰也随之烟消云散。在这样的较量中,我当然能够战胜“病魔”。

俗话说“病来如山倒,病去如抽丝”,改掉一个坏习惯,绝非一朝一夕之功。在这场旷日持久的较量中,我相信,我一定会把它彻底消灭掉,等着我的捷报吧!
