now, i am not going to stand here and tell you that failure is fun. that period of my life was a dark one, and i had no idea that there was going to be what the press has since represented as a kind of fairy tale resolution. i had no idea then how far the tunnel extended, and for a long time, any light at the end of it was a hope rather than a reality.

so why do i talk about the benefits of failure? simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. i stopped pretending to myself that i was anything other than what i was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. had i really succeeded at anything else, i might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena i believed i truly belonged. i was set free, because my greatest fear had been realised, and i was still alive, and i still had a daughter whom i adored, and i had an old typewriter and a big idea. and so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which i rebuilt my life.

youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .

youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years . we grow old by deserting our ideals.

years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .

whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . in the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .

when the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.

thank you!

can money buy happiness? different people have different opinions. some think yes, while others hold the opposite.

it is true that with enough money one can buy all the things one wants, and live a life of comfort and security. however, it is equally true that lack of money causes great distress. it is a common view that "money is the root of all evil." the pursuit of money drives many people to cheat and steal. in some places there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, resulting in corrupt societies where everybody is miserable.

so, money does not necessarily mean happiness. it all depends on how it is used. if we make honest and sensible use of money, it can be a stepping-stone to happiness l although money cannot buy happiness, it can make happiness possible if it is employed sensibly.

i was seventeen, almost a senior in high school. i was riding my bike to school. i had taken a special route to pick up a gift, but that day, "the road less traveled by" led to disaster. crossing a road, a drunk driver ran a red light, slammed into me, and shattered my left knee.

it made all the difference.

i was forced to postpone college, plunged into painful therapy . . . but eventually, i also learned much about life and myself. i found the strength to withstand adversity, learned compassion, and above all, i learned that the road not taken is not just about regrets or choices but also about the perpetual now and the always-coming future.

when i first studied robert frost’s “the road not taken” in middle school, i was unable to grasp its ambiguity. i always thought that frost’s persona chooses “a road less traveled by” and lives life being subversive and irreverent. i was wrong. in the poem, both of the two roads that “diverged in a yellow wood” are actually “about the same.” but there has to be a choice, and sometimes, they it can be involuntary (as i learned the hard way). this makes me extremely thankful and resolute when i can make conscious choices and plan for the future, and so i know now that frost's poem is also about "the road not [yet] taken."

for everyone, this means something slightly different. for me, it means constant vigilance, learning, and love. our journey is hard, complex, and it often presents unexpected twists, but reflecting on the roads not taken and not yet taken each day gives us a little more strength and confidence. life cannot and will not me perfect, and the truth is it will end. but as willa cather would say, “the end is nothing, the road is all.” the road not taken in the past, and the road not yet taken that lies ahead.

but about the present? it joints the past and the future. what then, is “the road not taken” in the perpetual now? personally, i find an answer in these lines from alfred lord tennyson’s “ulysses”:

tho’ much is taken, much abides; and though

we are not now that strength which in old days

moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are

one equal temper of heroic hearts,

made weak by time and fate, but strong in will

to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

thank you.

good morning,dear teacher and my friends.

itsquo;s a very intresting topic today.

i think my dad was a hero for me when i was a young child. we'd go fishing, walks, and other fun things for a kid.

every child has a good and great father, and so do i. my dad played a very important role in my daily life`````exactly speaking, in my past 16 years.

my father always stands in the center of my life， from past till now and possibly in the future.

my family was rather poor when i was in my childhood. we didn't have our own house and had to live in a shabby， small room rented from my father's factory. the room was so small that there was little space for people to walk. i didn't have my own bed and had to sleep with my parents. this is terrible both for my parents and me.

but father made this all different!he works very hard on his own business, now we have our own 2 housese,surly,i have my own room.and he take our family so much happiness, richer and richer.

when i was little, i did everything with my dad. you could always find me sitting on his knee or walking and doing everything with him. every night he would read me a bed time story and make the voices of each character.

i learnt a lot from my daddy. i learnt to never take things to seriously and to always smile.

like many other fathers, my dad and i also has generation gap. he is not good at or even cansquo;t work the computer. so when i sitting at the computer desk,he will say something like squo;you should pay more attention to your studysquo;, squo;donsquo;t waste time on the computer gamessquo; , squo;it will be bad for your eyessquo; and so on. how can i- a computer fan – reduce time on computer? so i continue studying and playing on it

years pasted, my father is over 45 now. it is time for me to look after him and i am sure i will do and we will live an even better life. and i will say,i really love you dad,cause you are the hero in my mind.

thank you so much!

hello, ladies and gentlemen. today my topic is the road not taken in life.

“why are you doing this? don’t you know it’s a total waste of time?” that’s what my mom yelled at the ten-year-old me, when she found out that i had signed up for an english story-telling competition.

i bowed my head; yes, she was right. by then i was entering grade six, faced with the biggest challenge yet to come—the examination to enter my dream junior high school. for that, i had given up my beloved piano lesson, my favorite cartoon program and even the playful weekend family reunion with my cousins. i wouldn’t be surprised at all if my very-strict-university-teacher mother got furious at me when i chose to do anything besides study at that crucial moment.

but that’s not all to it. now please take a good look at the twenty-year-old me, and imagine what i was like when i was ten. here are the key words: nervous, timid, shy, tongue-tied when facing strangers, and essentially a bookworm. these signs looked fatal to my mother, and possibly to you, too; she thought that i could be anything but a good public speaker.

well, i myself actually said no to my english teacher at first, because i had never done anything like that before and i was afraid. but he told me since i liked reading so much, why not try to tell a story i love to everyone? he also promised me that the judges were not frightening at all; just think of them as carrots and cabbages in a vegetable patch.

the ten-year-old me was persuaded by my teacher’s words. the feeling of telling my beloved stories to someone else ignited a spark of anticipation in my little chest. so i chose to endure my mother’s ranting for an entire hour, then raised my head bravely and pleaded: “mom, please. i just want to try.”

my mother looked as if she was on the verge of another outburst—but she only sighed. i took that as her permission, and started working with my teacher day and night to find a story, to illustrate the details, and to practice my facial expressions and gestures in front of the mirror. on the day of the competition, i went on the stage for the very first time in my life; i could feel the nervousness threatening to bring me down, and i felt cheated by my teacher: it was impossible to picture the judges as mere carrots and cabbages. but i went on. although i only got the third prize at that time, on that stage i stayed ever since, even to this very moment.

i should thank my teacher and my mother for letting me take a road that i have never taken before. little did i know then that this road would one day lead the shy little ten-year-old me into a wonderland; it led me to meet all of you here today. i can tell you from the bottom of my heart that it isn’t so terrifying to venture into the unknown at all; all you need is a little courage and determination. see where my road has led me, and bravely take your first step.
