Nothing succeeds like confidence.When you are truly confident,it radiatesfrom you like sunlight,and attracts success to you like amagnet.
It's important to believe in yourself.Believe that you can do it under anycircumstances,because if you believe you can,then you really will.The beliefkeeps you searching for answers,which means that pretty soon you will getthem.
Confidence is more than an attitude. It comes from knowing exactly whereyou are going and exactly how you are going to get there. It comes from actingwith integrity and confidence.It comes from a strong sense of purpose.It comesfrom a strong commitment to take responsibility,rather than just letting lifehappen.
One way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and to get arecord of successful experiences behind you.
Confidence is compassionate and understanding.It is not arrogant. Arroganceis born out of fear and insecurity,while confidence comes from strength andintegrity.
Confidence is not just believing you can do it. Confidence is knowing youcan do it.Know that you are capable of accomplish anything you want,and liveyour life withconfidence.
Anything can be achieved through focused,determined effort andself-confidence.If your life is not what you want it to be,you have the power tochange it,and you must make the changes on a moment by moment basis. Live yourpriorities. Live with your goals and your plan of action. Live each moment withyour priorities in mind. Act with your own purpose,and you will have the lifeyouwant.
Don’t wait for someday. This is the day, this is the moment, and this isyour opportunity to live.
Let go of any thoughts of limitation. You deserve every joy you can imagineand you’re fully able of creating them all. Stop settling forwhat’s only easy or comfortable or convenient. Give yourself the respect youdeserve and take on the difficult challenges that bring real fulfilment1.
Give your life some beautiful and meaningful substance2 today. Remindyourself of how fortunate you are to have each moment, and sincerely fill thosemoments with richness.
Admit and be thankful for what you desire to experience, to express, togive and to live. Then, fully use the power of your purpose and make it happen.The best of life is never out of reach. It is yours to fulfil, right now.
As you slowly open your eyes,look around,notice where the light comes into your room;listen carefully,see if there are new sounds you can recognize;feel with your body and spirit,and see if you can sense the freshness in the air.
Yes,yes,yes,it’s a new day,it’s a different day,and it’s a bright day!And most importantly,it is a new beginning for your life,a beginning where you are going to make new desicisions,take new actions,make new friends,and take your life to a totally unprecedented level!
In your mind’s eye,you can see clearly the things you want to have,the paces you intend to go,the relationships you desire to develop,and the positions you aspire to reach.
You can hear your laughters of joy and happiness on the day when everything happens as you dream.
You can see the smiles on the people around you when the magic moment strikes.
You can feel your face is getting red,your heart is beating fast,and your blood is rushing all over your body,to every single corner of your being!
You know all this is real as long as you are confident,passionate and committed!And you are confident,you are confident,passionate and committed!
You will no longer fear making new sounds,showing new facial expressions,using your body in new ways,approaching new people,and asking new questions.
You will live every single day of your life with absolute passion,and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take.
You will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life.You will never succumb to challenges of hardships.
You will never waver in your pursuit of excellence.After all,you are the best,and you deserve the best!

When I was in my 20s， I saw my very first psychotherapy client。 I was a Ph。D。 student in clinical psychology at Berkeley。 She was a 26—year—old woman named Alex。 Now Alex walked into her first session wearing jeans and a big slouchy top， and she dropped onto the couch in my office and kicked off her flats and told me she was there to talk about guy problems。 Now when I heard this， I was so relieved。 My classmate got an arsonist for her first client。 （Laughter） And I got a twentysomething who wanted to talk about boys。 This I thought I could handle。
But I didn't handle it。 With the funny stories that Alex would bring to session， it was easy for me just to nod my head while we kicked the can down the road。 "Thirty's the new 20，" Alex would say， and as far as I could tell， she was right。 Work happened later， marriage happened later， kids happened later， even death happened later。 Twentysomethings like Alex and I had nothing but time。
But before long， my supervisor pushed me to push Alex about her love life。 I pushed back。
I said， "Sure， she's dating down， she's sleeping with a knucklehead， but it's not like she's going to marry the guy。"
And then my supervisor said， "Not yet， but she might marry the next one。 Besides， the best time to work on Alex's marriage is before she has one。"
That's what psychologists call an "Aha！" moment。 That was the moment I realized， 30 is not the new 20。 Yes， people settle down later than they used to， but that didn't make Alex's 20s a developmental downtime。 That made Alex's 20s a developmental sweet spot， and we were sitting there blowing it。 That was when I realized that this sort of benign neglect was a real problem， and it had real consequences， not just for Alex and her love life but for the careers and the families and the futures of twentysomethings everywhere。
There are 50 million twentysomethings in the United States right now。 We're talking about 15 percent of the population， or 100 percent if you consider that no one's getting through adulthood without going through their 20s first。
Raise your hand if you're in your 20s。 I really want to see some twentysomethings here。 Oh， yay！ Y'all's awesome。 If you work with twentysomethings， you love a twentysomething， you're losing sleep over twentysomethings， I want to see — Okay。 Awesome， twentysomethings really matter。
So I specialize in twentysomethings because I believe that every single one of those 50 million twentysomethings deserves to know what psychologists， sociologists， neurologists and fertility specialists already know： that claiming your 20s is one of the simplest， yet most transformative， things you can do for work， for love， for your happiness， maybe even for the world。
This is not my opinion。 These are the facts。 We know that 80 percent of life's most defining moments take place by age 35。 That means that eight out of 10 of the decisions and experiences and "Aha！" moments that make your life what it is will have happened by your mid—30s。 People who are over 40， don't panic。 This crowd is going to be fine， I think。 We know that the first 10 years of a career has an exponential impact on how much money you're going to earn。 We know that more than half of Americans are married or are living with or dating their future partner by 30。 We know that the brain caps off its second and last growth spurt in your 20s as it rewires itself for adulthood， which means that whatever it is you want to change about yourself， now is the time to change it。 We know that personality changes more during your 20s than at any other time in life， and we know that female fertility peaks at age 28， and things get tricky after age 35。 So your 20s are the time to educate yourself about your body and your options。
So when we think about child development， we all know that the first five years are a critical period for language and attachment in the brain。 It's a time when your ordinary， day—to—day life has an inordinate impact on who you will become。 But what we hear less about is that there's such a thing as adult development， and our 20s are that critical period of adult development。
But this isn't what twentysomethings are hearing。 Newspapers talk about the changing timetable of adulthood。 Researchers call the 20s an extended adolescence。 Journalists coin silly nicknames for twentysomethings like "twixters" and "kidults。" It's true。 As a culture， we have trivialized what is actually the defining decade of adulthood。
Leonard Bernstein said that to achieve great things， you need a plan and not quite enough time。 Isn't that true？ So what do you think happens when you pat a twentysomething on the head and you say， "You have 10 extra years to start your life"？ Nothing happens。 You have robbed that person of his urgency and ambition， and absolutely nothing happens。
And then every day， smart， interesting twentysomethings like you or like your sons and daughters come into my office and say things like this： "I know my boyfriend's no good for me， but this relationship doesn't count。 I'm just killing time。" Or they say， "Everybody says as long as I get started on a career by the time I'm 30， I'll be fine。"
But then it starts to sound like this： "My 20s are almost over， and I have nothing to show for myself。 I had a better résumé the day after I graduated from college。"
And then it starts to sound like this： "Dating in my 20s was like musical chairs。 Everybody was running around and having fun， but then sometime around 30 it was like the music turned off and everybody started sitting down。 I didn't want to be the only one left standing up， so sometimes I think I married my husband because he was the closest chair to me at 30。"
Where are the twentysomethings here？ Do not do that。
Okay， now that sounds a little flip， but make no mistake， the stakes are very high。 When a lot has been pushed to your 30s， there is enormous thirtysomething pressure to jump—start a career， pick a city， partner up， and have two or three kids in a much shorter period of time。 Many of these things are incompatible， and as research is just starting to show， simply harder and more stressful to do all at once in our 30s。
The post—millennial midlife crisis isn't buying a red sports car。 It's realizing you can't have that career you now want。 It's realizing you can't have that child you now want， or you can't give your child a sibling。 Too many thirtysomethings and fortysomethings look at themselves， and at me， sitting across the room， and say about their 20s， "What was I doing？ What was I thinking？"
I want to change what twentysomethings are doing and thinking。
Here's a story about how that can go。 It's a story about a woman named Emma。 At 25， Emma came to my office because she was， in her words， having an identity crisis。 She said she thought she might like to work in art or entertainment， but she hadn't decided yet， so she'd spent the last few years waiting tables instead。 Because it was cheaper， she lived with a boyfriend who displayed his temper more than his ambition。 And as hard as her 20s were， her early life had been even harder。 She often cried in our sessions， but then would collect herself by saying， "You can't pick your family， but you can pick your friends。"
Well one day， Emma comes in and she hangs her head in her lap， and she sobbed for most of the hour。 She'd just bought a new address book， and she'd spent the morning filling in her many contacts， but then she'd been left staring at that empty blank that comes after the words "In case of emergency， please call 。。。 。" She was nearly hysterical when she looked at me and said， "Who's going to be there for me if I get in a car wreck？ Who's going to take care of me if I have cancer？"
Now in that moment， it took everything I had not to say， "I will。" But what Emma needed wasn't some therapist who really， really cared。 Emma needed a better life， and I knew this was her chance。 I had learned too much since I first worked with Alex to just sit there while Emma's defining decade went parading by。
So over the next weeks and months， I told Emma three things that every twentysomething， male or female， deserves to hear。
First， I told Emma to forget about having an identity crisis and get some identity capital。 By get identity capital， I mean do something that adds value to who you are。 Do something that's an investment in who you might want to be next。 I didn't know the future of Emma's career， and no one knows the future of work， but I do know this： Identity capital begets identity capital。 So now is the time for that cross—country job， that internship， that startup you want to try。 I'm not discounting twentysomething exploration here， but I am discounting exploration that's not supposed to count， which， by the way， is not exploration。 That's procrastination。 I told Emma to explore work and make it count。
Second， I told Emma that the urban tribe is overrated。 Best friends are great for giving rides to the airport， but twentysomethings who huddle together with like—minded peers limit who they know， what they know， how they think， how they speak， and where they work。 That new piece of capital， that new person to date almost always comes from outside the inner circle。 New things come from what are called our weak ties， our friends of friends of friends。 So yes， half of twentysomethings are un— or under—employed。 But half aren't， and weak ties are how you get yourself into that group。 Half of new jobs are never posted， so reaching out to your neighbor's boss is how you get that un—posted job。 It's not cheating。 It's the science of how information spreads。
Last but not least， Emma believed that you can't pick your family， but you can pick your friends。 Now this was true for her growing up， but as a twentysomething， soon Emma would pick her family when she partnered with someone and created a family of her own。 I told Emma the time to start picking your family is now。 Now you may be thinking that 30 is actually a better time to settle down than 20， or even 25， and I agree with you。 But grabbing whoever you're living with or sleeping with when everyone on Facebook starts walking down the aisle is not progress。 The best time to work on your marriage is before you have one， and that means being as intentional with love as you are with work。 Picking your family is about consciously choosing who and what you want rather than just making it work or killing time with whoever happens to be choosing you。
So what happened to Emma？ Well， we went through that address book， and she found an old roommate's cousin who worked at an art museum in another state。 That weak tie helped her get a job there。 That job offer gave her the reason to leave that live—in boyfriend。 Now， five years later， she's a special events planner for museums。 She's married to a man she mindfully chose。 She loves her new career， she loves her new family， and she sent me a card that said， "Now the emergency contact blanks don't seem big enough。"
Now Emma's story made that sound easy， but that's what I love about working with twentysomethings。 They are so easy to help。 Twentysomethings are like airplanes just leaving LAX， bound for somewhere west。 Right after takeoff， a slight change in course is the difference between landing in Alaska or Fiji。 Likewise， at 21 or 25 or even 29， one good conversation， one good break， one good TED Talk， can have an enormous effect across years and even generations to come。
So here's an idea worth spreading to every twentysomething you know。 It's as simple as what I learned to say to Alex。 It's what I now have the privilege of saying to twentysomethings like Emma every single day： Thirty is not the new 20， so claim your adulthood， get some identity capital， use your weak ties， pick your family。 Don't be defined by what you didn't know or didn't do。 You're deciding your life right now。 Thank you。
I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro.He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money foryouth at risk programs.
The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, "I want to tell youwhy I let Jack use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man whowas the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable,race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As aresult, the boy"s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was asenior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when hegrew up.
"That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of somedayowning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drewa diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, thestables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.
"He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day hehanded it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On thefront page was a large red F with a note that read, `See me after class."
"The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, `Whydid I receive an F?"
"The teacher said, `This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you.You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources.Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You haveto pay for the original breeding stock and later you"ll have to pay large studfees. There"s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, `If you willrewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider yourgrade.’
"The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his fatherwhat he should do. His father said, `Look, son, you have to make up your ownmind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’
"Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the samepaper, making no changes at all. He stated, `You can keep theF and I"ll keep my dream.
Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, "I tell you this storybecause you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace."He added, "The best part of the story is that two summers ago that sameschoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week." When theteacher was leaving, he said, `Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I wasyour teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole alot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up onyours.’"
Don"t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.
we often hear people say,"never give up."these can be encouraging words and words of determination.a person who believes in them will keep trying to reach your goal no matter how many times he fails.in my opinion,the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have.therefore,i believe that we。should never give up.
one reason is that if we give up too easily,we will rarely act eve anything.it is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new,so we should not feel discouraged and should try again.besides,if we always give up when we fail,we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people.another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make anew effort.if we do not try again,the lesson we have learned is wasted.finally,we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals,we develop confidence,and this confidence can help us succee din other areas of our lives.if we never challenge ourselves,we will begin to doubt our abilities.
in short,it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals.whether we succeed in the end or not,we will learn something,and what we learn will help us to become better,more confident people.furthermore,if we give up,we have non chance of attaining our goals,but if we keep trying,there is always achance that we will succeed one day.
In the State of Zheng. There was a man who wanted to go into town to buy apair of new shoes.
Before leaving home, he measured his foot with a piece of straw for size.After he arrived at the town and entered a shoe shop, he put his hand into hispocket only to find that in his haste he had left the measurement at home.Thereupon, he turned round and started for home. But when he rushed back to theshoeshop with the measurement, the shop had closed. As a result, he had suanwenwbusied himself for nothing.
Later, someone asked him:” Were you buying shoes for yourself or forothers? ”
He answered:” For myself.”
Someone else asked him:” Don’t you have your feet on yourself? You needonly to Try on shoes with your feet to get the right size. Why did you go backhome to fetch the measurement? “
The man of Zheng insisted:” I would rather trust the measurement than myown feet.”
Dear audience and judges,
My topic is "Can money buy happiness".
As we all know, money can buy all the goods in our life, no matter how huge it is. A spaceship, for example, if you really feel your bank account can afford it.
However, when it comes to love, satisfaction, happiness and many other human feelings, it is completely not like this. The result of many recent research can support my point. They said that, though people received far more money than ever, their standard for happiness also rised. That means, if you had one yuan, a car might be your dream, but if you had one million, you might consider owning a space trip. So when people always hope for those they can not afford, they will push themselves to an unhappy
Anyhow, money equal wealthy in life but not happiness in mind. Only by changing our attitude to money and enjoying every day, can we obtain a truely happy future!
Be there just to make up the number
During the Warring States Period (475-221BC), the King of the State of Qi was very fond of listening to yu ensembles. He often got together 300 yu players to form a grand music. The king treated his musician very well. A man named Nanguo heard about that and he managed to become a member of the band, even though he wan not good at playing the instrument at all. Whenever the band played for the king, Nanguo just stood in the line and pretended to play. Nobody realized he was making no sound at all. As a result, he enjoyed his treatment just as the other musician did. When the king died, his son became the new ruler who also liked the music played on the yu. However, he preferred solos so that he ordered the musicians to play the yu one by one. Therefore, Nanguo had to run out of the palace.
the idiom "Be there just to make up the number" is used to mock someone who passes for a specialist. You can also hear people saying it about themselves to show their modesty.
滥竽充数
战国时，齐宣王喜欢听竽，通常是三百人的大合奏。因为他给予乐师非常优厚的待遇，所以一个叫南郭的人尽管并不擅长吹竽，也设法混进乐队。当乐队演奏时，他就站在队伍里假装也在吹。没有人注意到其实他连一点声音也没吹出来，所以南郭也享受到和其他乐师一样的待遇。宣王死后，他的儿子继承了王位。他也喜欢听竽，可是他喜欢听独奏，让乐师一个个吹给他听，于是南郭不得不逃跑了。
"滥竽充数"这个成语用来嘲笑那些没有真正才干，混在行家里的人。 人们有时也用"滥竽充数"来表示自谦。
I recently started a new job, in a small office, where four of us share that fridge is a Brita water filter of my coworkerscomplained the water tasted "dirty" went on for a few days, and she wasstunned I could drink the water without any trouble.I started to doubt my tastebuds, but the water really tasted fine.
最近我找了份新工作，是在一间小办公室里，我们四个人共用一个冰箱。冰箱里有一个Brita牌滤水壶，有一个同事抱怨说水喝起来感觉很“脏”，她连续抱怨了几天，还很震惊我喝这样的水竟然没事。我开始怀疑自己的味蕾出问题了，但我真觉着水喝着还不错。
Finally, she figured out the problem was actually her simplyforgot to clean it, and after awhile started to affect the water inside leaned her cup, and drank the water with no problem.
最后，她发现问题出在了她的杯子上，她只是忘了刷杯子，过一段时间就影响里面水的味道了。她把杯子洗干净了，水就没有异味了。
I can't help but think about the world we live often we quicklyblame other people, other things, anything else but ourselves."You're racist"."You're intolerant"."You're the problem" world isn't perfect, I know, butI think we should take a step back sometimes and ask ourselves some toughquestions.
我禁不住思考了我们生活的世界，我们总是急于责备其他人、其他事、除了自己之外的一切东西。“你有种族歧视”、“你太狭隘”、“是你的问题”，我知道世界并不完美，但我认为有时我们应该退一步，问自己几个很难回答的问题。
Can I be better? Is my heart really pure? Can I help this situation withkindness?
我能变得更好吗?我的心真的纯洁吗?我能带着善意解决问题吗?
I want to tell you this; please clean your use when you do, thewater will taste much better.I promise you this.
我想告诉你这个道理：请洗干净自己的杯子。因为只有你把杯子洗干净了，里面的水味道才会好，我保证。
Consider...YOU. In all time before now and in all time to come, there hasnever been and will never be anyone just like you. You are unique in the entirehistory and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. You'rebetter than one in a million, or a billion, or a gazillion…
You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!
You're amazing! You're awesome! And by the way, TAG, you're it. As amazingand awesome as you already are, you can be even more so. Beautiful young peopleare the whimsey of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. Butyou don't become "beautiful" just by virtue of the aging process.
Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life.That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by justwaiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate your growthand intentionally devour life and all it offers. You are the artist that paintsyour future with the brush of today.
Paint a Masterpiece.
God gives every bird its food, but he doesn't throw it into its nest.Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it's truly up to you.
"We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pagesare infinite---"
I do not know who wrote those words,but I have always liked them as areminder that the future can be anything we want to make can take themysterious,hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine,justlike a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.
We are all in the position of the we plant a good seed,we reap agood our seed is poor and full of weeds,we reap a useless weplant nothing at all,we harvest nothing at all.
I want the future to be better than the past.I don't want it contaminatedby the mistakes and errors with which history is should all beconcerned about the future because that is where we will spend the reminder ofour lives.
The past is gone and ing we can do will change future isbefore us and ything we do will effect day will brings withit new frontiers,in our homes and in our businesses,if we will only are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of humanendeavor.
“我们正在阅读一本页数无限的书的第一章的第一节……”
我不知道这段文字是谁写的,我一直很喜欢并用它们来提醒自己,那就是未来操之在我。我们可以掌握神秘而不可知的未来，从中创出我们所能想象的任何东西，一如雕刻家可以将未成型的石头刻出雕像一样。
我们每个人都是农夫，我们若种下好种子,就会有丰收，倘若种子长得不良且长满杂草,我们就会徒劳无获，如果我们什么也不种,就根本不会有什么收获。
我希望未来会比过去更好。我不希望未来会被那些充斥在历史中的错误所污染，我们应关心未来,因为往后的余生都要在未来中度过。
往昔已一去不复返而且是静止的，任凭我们怎么努力都不能改变过去，未来就在我们眼前而且是动态的我们的所作所为都会影响未来，只要我们体会的出来,每天都可以发现新的知识领域伴随而生，可能是在家里,也可能是在我们的事业中，我们正处在人类所努力钻研的每个领域中进步的起点。
Good afternoon, ladies and issue of the Yellow River hasbecome the biggest concern of members of the Chinese peoples PoliticalConsultative childhood, in fact, is closely associated with father is an engineering geologist, and he used to take me with him onhis trips to the hydropower stations on the river.I enjoyed those trips,especially the trip to Longyang Xia ough ten years have passedsince my visit, I can still recall the scenery; I can still recall the water Isaw at the was pure, clean and blue, not like the water I saw inthe middle reaches of the river, which had turned brown and muddy after passingthrough the Loess Plateau.
Once during our stay at the power station, we were caught in when rain stopped, I could see trickles of water rolling downmountain slopes and flowing into the carried little mud or sand,because at that time, trees and grass still grew around the theyprotected the Longyang Xia I was struck by the beauty of nature, and asa child I wanted to stay there and to grow up with our Yellow River.
Li Bai, the Tang Dynasty poet, said praises to the flowing water in theYellow saw it as coming down from heaven and nurturing the peoplealong her way to the ver, in 1997,for 330days, not a single drop ofwater from the Yellow River went into the droughts are not the onlypunishment by nature.A friend of my father's, a university professor, is doingresearch on the Yellow rding to this professor, the Yellow River willsoon change its course if we allow this situation to use there isno longer enough water to carry away the silt and mud in the lower reaches ofthe river and the riverbed rises higher and higher each year.
We have taken too much from nature, but given back too little in this is the cost of the unbalanced we had taken care of thevegetation in the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River, we would stillexperience the river as Li Bai described it.
While the developed countries are consuming proportionally more naturalresources than the rest of the world, they've also taken some good measures inprotecting as a developing country, China can learn from them inthis aspect.
Last year, when I was visiting Australia with a group of Chinese studentswho had won prizes in an English Skills Test, our Australian hosts invited us tojoin them for a horse-ride in the r two hours on horseback, wereached a valley, where there was a most beautiful meadow, with flowers in allcolors dotted on a huge blanket of I began to praise the beauty ofnature, my friends told me that in this valley, there used to be a big mine andthe wastewater from the mine turned everything the mine wasabandoned, people made great efforts to restore the green alsoused the latest biological technology choosing the best grass seeds suitable forthe local the beautiful meadow is a result of commitment, hard work,and new technology.
What happened to this valley in Australia should also happen to our YellowRiver and, in fact, it is happening.I have seen farmers planting trees onmountains along the Yellow River.I have seen them climb the mountain tops withseedlings on their shoulders because they had no machinery.I have seen thempour on trees the water they had carried up in buckets from miles down e farmers are quietly nourishing our Yellow River, just as the riverhas nourished them.
And these farmers, men and women I don't know, gave me the confidence thatwe and our Yellow River will grow together, and someday in the future, we willbe able to drink the clean water from our Yellow River again, because she is ourdearest mother.
Thank you.
