If I Rest, I Rust
The significant inscription found on an old key – “If I rest, I rust.” – would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with slightest bit of idleness. Even the most industrious person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.
在一把旧钥匙上发现了一则意义深远的铭文——如果我休息，我就会生锈。对于那些懒散而烦恼的人来说，这将是至理名言。甚至最为勤勉的人也以此作为警示:如果一个人有才能而不用，就像废弃钥匙上的铁一样，这些才能就会很快生锈，并最终无法完成安排给自己的工作。
Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gates that guard entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture-every department of human endeavor.
有些人想取得伟人所获得并保持的成就，他们就必须不断运用自身才能，以便开启知识的大门，即那些通往人类努力探求的各个领域的大门，这些领域包括各种职业:科学，艺术，文学，农业等。
Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in quarry had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his ” moments to idleness. Had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, had allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside, instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never become a famous,astronomer.
勤奋使开启成功宝库的钥匙保持光亮。如果休·米勒在采石场劳作一天后，晚上的时光用来休息消遣的话，他就不会成为名垂青史的地质学家。数学家爱德蒙·斯通如果闲暇时无所事事，就不会出版数学词典，也不会发现开启数学之门的钥匙。如果苏格兰青年弗格森在山坡上放羊时，让他，那思维活跃的大脑处于休息状态，而不是借助一串珠子计算星星的位置，他就不会成为的天文学家。
Labor vanquish all-not inconstant, spasmodic or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, So is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.
劳动征服一切。这里所指的劳动不是断断续续的，间歇性的或方向偏差的劳动，而是坚定的，不懈的，方向正确的每日劳动。正如要想拥有自由就要时刻保持警惕一样，要想取得伟大的，持久的成功，就必须坚持不懈地努力。
Dear teachers, dear students:
hello everyone!
The topic of my speech is “the hardness of life”
The vast desert, a tree stand, the show is a monument to the image.
Towering mountains, thousands of tree stand up, as is a magnificent the Great Wall.
The long river, all the trees stood up into a dragon of glory.
We are a symbol of too much, and too much. But I believe that my image is not “the gentlest hands, skin, such as Diorskin” Lin Daiyu, nor is the modern “unkempt and shabby”, “Su Qier”. We are a symbol of hope and vitality. So we show in front of others should be inserted without pleats, face without scale, modest and polite gestures exudes a stream of heroic spirit, the image of the vigor and vitality of the modern new youth, a into the embodiment of the spirit of nature.
Someone once said, life is a kind of hardness, integrity and dignity of life is propped up the hardness of bone. “Better life” and “the Kui back in the day, and not ashamed on the ground”, which is always the traditional virtue of the China. Li Bai’s “the eyebrow nengcui Zheyaoshan powerful thing, so that I may not be happy Yan” this awe inspiring atmosphere of the verse and whether it will make those no self-esteem people to shame? Loss of self-esteem is a worthless person, and we as the vanguard of the times, if drown in the darkness forever, or to do a dauntless hero, a flower in the wind and rain sonorous rose. The answer is self-evident.
Desert desolate also has the monument stands, Castle Peak again proud, but also have the great wall around, the river again quiet, also there is a dragon in the recumbent. But the time can be changed, our image, our glory remains the same. Because we pride, because we are confident, because we have a fresh life. And because of this, it is a vast desert riparian long, Qingshan was evergreen, the hardness of life is forever.
尊敬的各位老师，亲爱的同学们：
大家好!
我演讲的题目是《生命的硬度》
茫茫大漠，一棵树站不起来，展现出来的是一座丰碑的形象。
巍巍青山，千万棵树站起来，连成的是一条长城的宏伟。
悠悠河岸，所有的树站起来，缀成的是一条蛟龙的雄风。
我们象征着太多，又演绎着太多。但我相信，我的形象，绝不是“手若柔荑，肤如凝脂”的林黛玉，也绝不是“蓬头垢面、衣衫褴褛”的现代“苏乞儿”。我们象征着希望、朝气。所以我们展现在别人面前的就应该是衣无褶、脸无垢、礼貌谦和的举手投足间散发着一股英气，朝气和活力的现代新青年的形象，一个融入了大自然的精灵的化身。
有人曾说，生命有一种硬度，气节和尊严是撑起生命硬度的骨骼。“宁为玉碎，不为瓦全”、“仰不愧于天，俯不怍于地”，这是历来中国的传统美德。李白的“安能摧眉折腰事权贵，使我不得开心颜”这一大气凛然的诗句又是否会让那些毫无自尊的人汗颜?丧失了自尊的人是一个没出息的人，而我们作为时代的先锋，要是永远在黑暗中沉溺呢，还是要做一个顶天立地的好男儿，一朵绽放在风雨中的铿锵玫瑰。答案，不言而喻。
大漠再荒凉也有丰碑的矗立，青山再孤高，也有长城的环绕，河水再平静，也有蛟龙的横卧。而时代再怎么变，我们的形象，我们的雄风依然如故。因为我们自尊，因为我们自信，因为我们有着鲜活的生命。而正因如此，河岸才悠悠，大漠才广袤，青山才长青，生命的硬度才长存。
Everybody is good!
Today to lecture on the topic of “life goals”
The ancients cloud: “where there is a will, there is a way.” The so-called, is refers to & mda sh; Individual for themselves to establish “ambition”, establish the goal of life. Goal in life, is the guide and light of life, the source of power, if lost it, would have lost the way forward. Determine the goal in life, can choose the road of life, and was able to grasp and control their own life.
Had a target, life becomes full of meaning, – cut seem clear, clear in front of you. What to do, be what is should to do, why to do, for who, all of the elements are less obvious and clear. So life will add more vitality and passion. So that we fully burst their hidden potential, in order to realize high quality life to lay a solid foundation.
Reminiscing about history, any age, any country, the social structure are close – kind of pyramid. A lot of people at the bottom of the pyramid, only – a small number of people at the top of the pyramid. At the bottom of the people can only do ordinary work, there are ordinary income, not achieve their ideal and baggage, and at the top of the tower is a thriving, enjoy substantial wealth, development prospects. But people often ignores, these people who are in the top of the tower, ever also at the bottom, is an obscure, ordinary people, steps – – to climb to the top of the pyramid.
Under careful observation – the vast majority of people in society – born in mediocrity, although they also in hard work, a lifelong struggle, but only minor minor role, its basic reason lies in their lack of real power. Social demands, the restriction of others, that they treat life, work is responsible, but seldom to think how to let oneself have a sea change in life. In other words, most people in the bottom of the pyramid and at the top of the pyramid, compared to a few people the height of the gap lies in the eye, is the goal of life.
What kind of goal, there will be what kind of life. Maybe you think you now is how humble, or engaged in the work is so insignificant, but as long as you strongly desire to climb the peak of success, will himself in the great world of the whole society, the life earnestly positioning, clear goals, and is willing to pay the arduous efforts, so there you’ll get it – day, to be successful.
Hope our every personal goal for life from now on, start from the intravenous drip, implement the goal in life. Drop the repeating yourself a mediocre life, try to explore their inner potential, inspire their sparkle, believe that the gold no matter where is the light of truth sooner or later, no matter what difficulties and obstacles encountered, will eventually succeed. New life is start from the date of target.
大家好!
今天要演讲的题目是“人生的目标”
古人云：“有志者，事竟成。”所谓志，就是指个人为自己确立的“远大志向”，确立的人生目标。人生目标，是生活的灯塔，力量的源泉，如果失去了它，就会迷失前进的方向。确定了人生的目标，才可能选择生活的道路，进而才能够掌握、控制自己的人生。
有了目标，人生就变的充满意义，—切似乎清晰、明朗地摆在你的面前。什么是应当去做的，什么是不应当去做的，为什么而做，为谁而做，所有的要素都是那么明显而清晰。于是生活便会添加更多的活力与激情。使我们自身隐匿的潜能得到充分地迸发，为实现高素质的人生打下坚实的基础。
追忆历史，任何年代，任何国家，社会结构都接近—种金字塔状。大量的人处在金字塔的底部，只有—小部分人处在金字塔的顶部。处在底部的人只能做普通的工作，有普通的收入，实现不了自己的理想和包袱，而处在塔顶的人则是蒸蒸日上，享受丰厚的财富，发展前途不可限量。然而人们往往忽视了，这些身处塔顶的人，曾经也处在底部，是—个默默无闻、普普通通的人，—步—步地攀上了金字塔的顶部。
细心观察—下，社会上绝大多数人的—生都在平庸中度过，尽管他们也在辛勤劳动，终身奋斗不止，但是只能扮演无足轻重的次要角色，其根本原因在于他们缺乏真正的内动力。社会的要求，别人的约束，使他们对待生活、工作还算尽责，却很少去想怎样才能够让自己的人生有翻天覆地的变化。也就是说，处在金字塔底部的大多数人与处在金字塔顶部的少数人相比，差距就在于眼光的高度，在于人生的目标。
有什么样的目标，就有什么样的人生。或许你觉得自己现在的地位是多么卑微，或者从事的工作是多么的微不足道，但是只要你强烈地渴望攀登成功的巅峰，将自己摆在整个社会的宏观世界之中，认真做好人生定位，明确奋斗目标，并愿意为此付出艰辛的努力，那么总有—天你会如愿以偿，获得成功。
希望我们每—个人从现在开始就制定人生目标，从点滴做起，落实人生目标。抛弃那种无聊地重复着自己平庸的生活，努力去挖掘自己内在的潜力，激发自己的闪光点，相信是金子不论在哪里迟早都会发光的道理，不管遇到什么艰难险阻，终究会取得成功。新生活就从确定目标之日开始。
