Do I Need To Like Myself?
Yes! People who don't like themselves are a pain in the neck!
Usually, people with a poor self-image use one of two irritating strategies. They either:
a) criticize you a lot or
b) they criticize themselves a lot.
STRATEGY A: They criticize you a lot. They figure that by criticizing other people they can feel better about themselves.
Let's take Fred, who feels inferior. Fred thinks he has a big nose and piggy eyes. He also secretly feels a bit stupid.
So what's his strategy to feel better about himself? He criticizes all his friends. He has names for them like “Flathead”, “Chicken Legs” and “Dogbrain”. Whenever someone else makes a mistake, he announces it to the whole class. (He probably doesn't even realize he criticizes people—or why he does it.)
If you have parents, friends or brothers and sisters who don't like themselves—they might criticize you and everyone around them. Just remember that they criticize you because they have a problem. If you remember that they are actually hurting inside, you won't get so upset by their behaviour.
STRATEGY B: Some people who don't like themselves criticize themselves a lot. They use reverse psychology...
Take Mary who doesn't like herself. She's always telling you, “You are prettier than me. You are smarter. Nobody likes me.” She's hoping that you will reply, “No Mary! You are clever. You are beautiful.” After a while, people like Mary get on your nerves!
In a nutshell
When we don't like ourselves, we irritate other people. We also put ourselves through a lot of stress. When we accept ourselves a little better, we don't play these games.
How Can I Like Myself﹖
In our hearts, most of us believe we should be doing better. We think that we should have gotten higher grades. We want to be popular and hang out with the “in” crowd. We feel we don't measure up to our parents' expectations. Our parents help to confirm this idea when they ask, “Why can't you be more like your brother?”
Whenever you are feeling low, be your own best friend. Accept that, up to now, you have lived your life the best way you know how. No one sets out to screw up their life! Like anyone, you've done the odd stupid thing. With more information you'll likely do better in the future.
Liking yourself means forgiving yourself. If you have made some serious mistakes, if you have hurt some people—and yourself—feeling guilty won't help.
If you are feeling guilty about something, you have already suffered enough. Being guilty for another six months won't help anybody.
Forget perfection and aim for improvement.
It's a funny thing. When you forgive yourself for your own mistakes, you automatically begin to let others off the hook for the same things.
“But I'm Not Brilliant...”
You might look at yourself and say, “I'm not as beautiful as my sister, I'm not as talented as my friends and I'm not brilliant at anything! How can I feel good about me?”
Fact: Nobody is good at everything and most of us have those thoughts!
But here's the lowdown! Talent and beauty are very useful—but there are plenty of talented and beautiful people around whom we don't necessarily admire. And some of them are a pan in the butt!
The qualities most of us value above all others are honesty, courage, persistence, generosity and humility. Take a look at this list and you'll find something interesting. You aren't born with these things. You develop them. Anyone can have them! If you want self-respect, and respect from others, you don't have to be an Einstein or a super-model.
You simply work at developing your own honesty, determination, generosity, humility and courage. It is called “character”.
In a nutshell
How you feel about yourself is in your hands.
非得喜欢自己吗?
确实如此!不喜欢自己的人很讨厌!
通常，自我感觉不好的人会采用两种策略，要么老是挑剔别人，要么总是挑剔自己。
策略一：老是挑剔别人。他们以为挑别人的错就能自我感觉良好。
比如说弗雷德吧，他就觉得自己不如别人。弗雷德感到自己长了一个大鼻子、两只猪眼睛，还暗自感觉脑子有点笨。
那他想感觉好一点怎么办呢?于是就挑所有朋友的毛病，给他们起一些怪名字，什么“平头”啊“鸡腿”啊“狗脑”啊等等。每当有人犯错误，他就对全班同学宣布。 (他很可能压根儿就没意识到在批评别人，或者为什么要这么做。)
如果你父母、朋友或兄弟姊妹不喜欢自己，他们可能挑剔你和身边的每一个人。请记住，他们挑剔你是因为他们有问题。其实他们内心有伤痛，记住这一点，你就不会对他们的行为感到特别心烦了。
策略二：有些不喜欢自己的人老说自己不好。他们的心理正好相反。
拿玛丽来说吧，她就不喜欢自己。她总对别人说“你比我漂亮。你比我聪明。谁都不喜欢我。”她心里其实希望对方这样回答“不对，玛丽!你很聪明，很漂亮。”不用多久，玛丽这种人就会令人生厌。
简言之
不喜欢自己，就会去烦别人。同时自身也会承受很大的压力。对自己好一点，就不会去玩那些烦人的把戏了。
怎样才能喜欢自己?
内心里，大多数人都认为自己应该比现在强。我们认为考试分数应该再高一些。我们想受人欢迎，跟那些“时髦的”人在一起。我们感到达不到父母的期望。父母也证实了这一点。他们会问“你就不能向你哥哥多学一点?”
无论何时你感觉不良，你要做自己最亲密的朋友。要承认到目前为止，你是在以你所知的最佳方式生活。谁都不会成心破坏自己的生活。你跟别人一样做了些奇怪而愚蠢的事。你如果知道得多一些，将来就会做得好一些。
喜欢自己意味着原谅自己。如果你犯了严重的错误，如果你伤害了别人，伤害了自己，内疚是不管用的。
如果你为某事感到内疚，你已经受到了足够的折磨。再内疚半年，对人对己都无济于事。
忘记完善，立志改善
这是很有趣的一件事。一旦你原谅自己的.过错，就会自动不再追究别人同样的错误。
“但是我不很出色……”
你也许会将自己审视一番，说“我没姐姐那么漂亮，也没朋友那么聪明，我哪方面都不出色!叫我怎么感觉良好?”
事实是：没有谁是万能的，而且大多数人都有你这种想法。
不过真相是这样的!才智和美貌很有用，但是聪明漂亮的人我们并不一定就羡慕，这样的人在我们周围大有人在。再说有些人不过是徒有虚名而已!
大多数人最看重的品质是诚实、勇敢、顽强、慷慨和谦逊。只要看看这一串词语，就能发现一件有趣的事。这些品质不是与生俱来的，是后天培养的。人人都能拥有!想自重并受人尊重，不一定非得是爱因斯坦或超级名模。
你只需努力培养自己的诚实、坚毅、慷慨、谦逊和勇敢就行了。这就叫“品格”。
简言之
自我感觉如何全看你如何把握。
good afternoon, everyone!
the topic of my speech today is “being a good listener”.
good listening can always show respect, promote understanding, and improve interpersonal relationship.
many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children, so they will understand them better, and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students, then they can meet their needs better, and place themselves in a good relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates, thus they will help and learn fr-om each other, and a friendship is likely to be formed.
what i want to stress is that each of us should listen more to others. show your respect and never stop others till they finish their talk; show you are interested by a supportive silence or a knowing smile; be open-minded to different opinions even though you don’t like them. in a word, good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other.
thank you for your listening!
our school is not big but in our school"s e are many flowers in the garden. i often play with my friends in the can catch the is so summer,our school is so there are many trees on the give us some fall,school is cool,you can see many colorfull leaves on the winter, snow is white and children make snowman on the floor.
i love my school,our school is beutiful and happy every day。
Good morning everybody, i’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. we all know that bingxin has a famous saying “we always admire the beauty of flowers but its sprout was watered by tears of struggle and rained by blood of sacrifice”. so for the majority, behind their success, are filled of sweat and tears.
Eagle flying in the vast firmament, must be experienced the pain of countless times fall under the cliff, then hammered out a pair of volley wings. a shinning of pearls, inevitably suffered countless body friction and numerous waves’ shock. in this view, a real successful people, and he must experienced numerous times to stand up again and agin after failed, because without sweat and tears on the life road ,no one can casually get the beautiful flowers.
Alfter a heavy fall shi tiesheng lost his legs, it must be a heavy blow for anyone. but he didn't lose faith in life, but use his brain and hands to show the infinite love of life; beethoven was blind and deaf, but he still had written the "hero" "destiny" and so on a large number of music works, in his unfortunately life, he doggedly gripped the "fate of the throat. they all had a fall, but they are strong enough to stand up, fight against fate and misfortune, finally they succeed. so for each of us, wrestling is not terrible, lose confidence and courage in life is the most terribe thing. in my opionion, the sweat and tears during the life’ journey are very important for us, they hone our will, and enrich our experience. as the saying goes, how can you see the rainbow without a rainy day, while you don't work hard and not struggle, how can you gain the successful flowers.
All in all, the sweat and tears on the struggling road is inevitable, don’t look for shortcuts anymore, steadfast walk every step, we will succeed in the end. so belief yourself, nothing is impossile, just do it.
Thank you for taking your time to listen to my speech, i hope in the near future we all can be successful.
This day, is a great pleasure to the platform, and so much more willing to make contributions to the class the classmate to run for class cadre. I think, I will use the exuberant energy, a clear mind to do a good job in the class cadre to give full play to my strengths to help classmates and x class people work together to improvement
I didn't pull a year from the moment the class cadre, but my whole body is clean, there is no "officer officer phase state", "newspeak" bureaucratic AIRS; Timidity is less about the private, more aggressive, aggressive.
I think I deserve a doer, do not need those beautiful words to modify. Work has tempered my, life makes me. Dale Carnegie said, "don't be afraid to sell yourself, as long as you think yourself have talent, you should think that self is qualified gives this or that position".
I believe that with my new well read "officer", with my courage and talent, with me in the same boat with you deep friendship, this campaign speech brought me must be the inaugural address of the next. I will at any time, any situation, the first is "to the students of thought, the anxious students of urgent." I never believe in "done no work" is the creed, on the contrary, I think a class cadre "reactive power is too". Because I usually get along well with everybody, better interpersonal relationships, it reduces the work resistance objectively. I will work with the young students in together, opine, a cry of our youth. When the conflict between teachers and students, I have to distinguish between right and wrong, insist the principle. Personality is or is not correct as a teacher, I will dare to heart to seek the students legitimate rights and interests if the classmates to I distrust, can put forward "no-confidence" at any time, to impeach me. You trust, I wouldn't like to impeach Clinton impeachment trouble, I will not die not to walk.
Now that is a flower, I'm going to open; Now that is a tree, I would grow into pillars; Since this is stone, I will go to spread out the road; Since this is the class cadre, I would become an excellent pilot!
The sparkling light of meteoroids comes from the frictions, and the bright pearl of tears from the shell, and a class of good leadership and the joint efforts of all the students from the class cadre.
Introduce myself I'm confident speech synthesis under the help of the classmates, I am qualified for the job, is because of this drive, when I went to the podium, I feel confidence one hundred times.
Are you holding the hand of the votes will hesitate? Thank you very much trust!
hello, everyone. i am very happy to introduce myself to you. my name is.....i am eleven years old. i am friendly and honest. i can always get on well with others.i hope i can be a friend of yours soon. i like playing badminton and i also like swimming. i often play badminton with my best friend in the park on weekends. in summer i love swimming in the swimming pool because it is cool and i think it is one of the best ways of keeping healthy.in winter i like going skiing and playing with the snow. i also like reading books and i often read books in the evening. i often help my parents with the housework，too because they are busy with their work. i am very happy to be a member of this class.that's all. thanks very much.
Let me begin my speech with a replay of scenes familiar to most， if not all， of those present here today.
＂Mum， I＇m sorry， but I need 3，000 yuan for my tuition this year.＂
＂Mum， it is my friend＇s birthday tomorrow， I must buy her a present.＂
＂Mum， this jacket was out of fashion long ago， would you do me a favor？ ＂
Take. Take. Take. The relationship between a mother and a child always seems to follow such a pattern. I know my mother is always there for me， providing me with everything I need； from food to clothing， from tuition to pocket money. I never thought twice about all she did until one day she said， ＂Will there be a time that you＇ll say you have taken enough from me？ ＂
Like a child endlessly asking， we humans， throughout history， have been continually demanding what we desire from nature. We enjoy the comfort and beauty of our furniture， yet we never bother to think about the serious soil erosion caused by deforestation. We take it for granted that we must warm ourselves in winter times， yet we seldom realize the burning away of precious natural resources. We appreciate all the prosperity from the development of modern industry， yet few would give the slightest consideration to the global air and water pollution caused by industrial wastes. Our ruthless exploitation has permanently impaired our mother earth. As we tragically learned from last summer＇s floods. we cannot continue our carelessness.
Finally， standing here at the threshold of the 21st century， we cannot help thinking of our posterity. Nature is not only the mother of the present generation， but also the mother of the generations to come.
How severely our descendents will criticize us if we leave them a barren and lifeless mother？ How much more they will appreciate us if we give them a world of harmony to inherit？ Let us start respecting and caring for nature from now on. Let us start the campaign of creating a mutually beneficial relationship between people and nature right from this moment. With this new start， I firmly believe， that our children， and our children＇s children will live in a brand new age of green trees， clean air， crystal water， blue sky and an even more promising world！
Celtic believed that the sun god helped them grow crops. But each year thesun god is attacked by an evil force called Samhain and spent six months incaptivity. Samhain, and two other titles, "Lord of Dead" and "Prince ofDarkness", came to Celtic land with cold and dark winters.
The celts are very afraid of the night of October 31, because they feellike there's a bunch of evil souls lurking everywhere. They set fire to theirhome to let evil spirits leave their homes. (the last untranslated paragraph wasthat the flames could frighten the ghost away.) They believed Samhain had calledthe dead, and they believed that Samhain would turn the dead into somethingelse, like a cat. The celts will be disguising their evil spirits with terribledisguises. (this is the prototype for Halloween.)
Then Rome took over the Celtic lands and put the Roman holiday togetherwith the Celtic Samhain festival on October 31, and it was now Halloween.
Ladies and gentlemen ,
good morning.Today ,my topic is ‘be the best and to be myself’.
Who is the best student in your class Do you think the best student often draws attention from others and are you even jealous of him or her from time to time
Frankly speaking, I do.
In my class , my deskmate is considered to be the best.In teachers’ eyes ,he is a clever boy ;
So intelligent is he that he is able to figure out difficult problems in extremely short time.From most classmates’ point of view ,he is an energetic friend.Not only can he play the Jazz drum wonderfully ,but also he is good at so many sports .Furthermore ,he always shows his sense of humour in the communication with others.Definitely ,he is the best.Nevertheless ,I don’t admire him in the least or I don’t agree that I’m supposed to become what he is .Despite the fact that I have ever been green with envy ,I’m conscious that everyone has his own values .No matter how outstanding others are, I should spare no effort to be myself .I used to think of myself as an average student.Although I am capable of playing the trumpet and using computer software practically, seldom do I show my advantages at school .On account of that, it seems that the only impression I have left on my teachers and classmates is that I’m a hardworking ,modest and silent student.What I wonder is how I can show my outgoing and lively side to them.If I make it, I am surely the best of myself.
It goes without saying that we ought not to seek to be like others all the time .I have been looking for my particular value in the society and that should be the best of myself.
That’ all.Thank you for your attention.
First of all, I want to thank you all for coming to this party. I have thrown this party, because I wanted to thank you all for being kind to me while I have been here.Looking back, it seems like a very short five years living here and working together with you. My wife and I still remember the first day we arrived in Los Angeles, and every thing looked so huge, compared with things in Taipei. The first several months were a difficult time, but we tried very hard to adapt ourselves to the new environment, new life style, and a new place of work. There were times of disappointment, anger, and humiliation, and there were also times of joy, excitement, and happiness, Through them all, you have always been with us to share the sorrow and happiness, and we are deeply grateful to you for that.Millions of thanks to you all, and don't forget to finish your dinner before it gets cold.

Good morning/afternoon! Ladies and gentlemen，boys and girls! I’m very glad to make a speech here. The topic of my speech is "be a civilized, courteous person."
Since the day I was born, I began to have a proud name—Chinese! Since the day I began to talk, the most beautiful sentence I’ve ever learnt has been “I love you, China!We all know that China is one of the four ancient civilizations in human history, is a vast territory and abundant resources, a long history of a state of ceremonies. Five thousand years of development of the Chinese nation, inherited many traditions and virtues from generation to generation.
Good manners are so important in our society. Each of us was still babbling, Our parents education how we treat people politely, When we enter the school, the teacher teaches us how to speak civilized and moral, it can be said that each of us knows how to be a civilized person. However, I would like to ask you: as a student in the new century, how will you show our elegant demeanor? How to make our school image better? How to let the distant guests feel the new appearance of us ?
Everyone should be polite. Polite people show good manners. As a new century pupil, as the flower of our motherland and the future of the world, we must be a civilized pupil! But how can we be a civilized pupil? Meet teachers and guests take the initiative to say hello; on the stairs, crowded, pay attention to humility; pay attention to health, not littering, see the paper always picked up; take good care of public property, do not write scratch; with the students, can live together in peace together, friendship and cooperation. To be wrong, to apologize, to respect and trust each other. At home, filial piety, considerate parents, respect the elders. In the face of their elders to listen to criticism, temper, do not contradict. The guests came home warmly, generously and politely. On the outside, obey the traffic laws, don't throw confetti, protect the environment sanitation; help others, always for the sake of others, do good, the hearts of others".
" A smile, say "hello", a "please", a "sorry", a "thank you" or" You are welcome" can make people open the window to the soul, They can make a difference. to exchange, to understand each other. a person is ordinary, insignificant, but everyone raised the banner of civilization, you can let the civilization of the new wind blowing across the land of china. Please start with each "little me", because society is like an ocean, and each of us is a small drop of water into the ocean. Please bring my song back to your home, please leave your smile behind. Let us work together to study, With our excellent performance, excellent work by our great motherland.
Thank you for your listening!
Ladies and Gentlemen ,Good afternoon!I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.today my topic is “youth”.I hope you will like it ,and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it. First I want to ask you some questions:
1、 Do you know what is youth?
2、 How do you master your youth? Youth
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.
I still remember the Titanic,though it's a big ship but it still sunk,so ,in my opinion ,the best ship is the friendship.
Everyone needs friends because there are a lot of things that you can't deal with yourself,and the friends just make up for it.
Friendship just likes the sun ,it can make you fell warm though in the cold winter,friendship just likes the water in the desert ,it can make you fell that in the world ,there still has hope .in a word ,the friendship is the same meaning as the greatness ,selfless and devotion.
To make friends ,adding a friend equals adding a way ,open your heart ,devote yourself,let friendship make your world colourful.
Hold Fast To Your Dreams
I have a dream today。
I have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted， every hill and mountain shall be made low， the rough places will be made plain， and the crooked places will be made straight， and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed， and all flesh shall see it together。
Wow， what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King。 But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up， and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams。
However， we meed dreams。 They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality。 They keep us going。 Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great。 When we were little kids， we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy， something significant。 Now what we need to do is to maintain them， refresh them and turn them into reality。 However， the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions。 Well， just start with concrete objectives and stick to it。 Don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future。 Through our talents， through our wits， through our endurance and through our creativity， we will make it。
Hold fast to dreams， for if dreams die， life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly。 Hold fast to dreams， for when dreams go， life is a barren field frozen with snow。 So my dear friends， think of your old and maybe dead dreams。 Whatever it is， pick it up and make it alive from today。
译文
抓牢你的梦想
我这天有一个梦想。
我梦想有一天，幽谷上升，高山下降，崎岖之地变平原，曲折之路成坦途。圣光展露，满照人间。
这对马丁路德金是怎样的一个梦想啊。但是这个变化着的世界似乎在告诉我，在成长的过程中，人们却不知不觉把他们的梦想弄丢了，而我自我也有时会觉得在告别很多童年的梦。
然而，我们是需要梦想的。梦想滋养我们的灵魂，梦想代表着我们被现实拉垮时依然具有的期望。它鼓励我们不断前进。大多数成功人士都是梦想家，同时也是普通人，只是他们敢于梦想敢于成就伟大。当我们还是孩子的时候，我们都梦想过做
做一番大事业，此刻应当做的就是保存好那些梦想，再度恢复它们，并将它们实现。但是最难的是我们通常不明白怎样付诸实施。那么，就从体的目标开始，坚持去做吧。不要让那些莫名的恐惧迷惑了我们的双眼，影响了我们对未来的信念。用我们的天资和智慧，用我们的耐力和创造力，我们必须会实现梦想。
抓牢你的梦想，因为如果梦想死亡，生活就成了一只折断翅膀的鸟再也不能飞翔。抓牢你的梦想，因为如果失去梦想，生命就成了一块覆盖着冰雪的贫瘠的冻土。亲爱的朋友们，想想那些过去的或已经死去的梦想吧。不管是什么，重新将它捡起，并从这天开始让它重生。

everytime i am asked what i want to do in the future. i think a minute and say being a doctor is my dream job.
doctor is an other kind of artist who does human art by fighting with diseases and making people feel good. i think it is a pleasure to try my best to bring happiness to others. it is a feeling of pride and i am fond of it. in modern life, a mass of people work day and night to seek wealth and as a result they ignore their health. it is known that strong body is a foundation of beatific life. i dreamed to be an excellent doctor who can help them have a right to enjoy life again. curing people is a doctor's holy responsibility.
i am chinese. i am proud of being a chinese with five thousand years of civilization behind. i've learned about the four great inventions made by our forefathers. i've learned about the great wall and the yangtze river. i've learned about zhang heng(张衡)and i've learned about zheng he(郑和) says the yellow river civilization has vanished(消失)?i know that my ancestors have made miracles(奇迹)on this fertile land and we're still making miracles. who can ignore the fact that we have established ourselves as a great state in the world, that we have devised our own nuclear weapons, that we have successfully sent our satellites into space, and that our gnp ranks no. 7 in the world? we have experienced the plunders (掠夺) by other nations, and we have experienced the war. yet, based on such ruins, there still stands our nation----china, unyielding and unconquerable!
i once came across an american tourist. she said, “china has a history of five thousand years, but the us only has a history of 200 years. five thousand years ago, china took the lead in the world, and now it is the us that is leading.”my heart was deeply touched by these words. it is true that we're still a developing nation, but it doesn't mean that we can despise (鄙视) ourselves. we have such a long-standing history, we have such abundant resources, we have such intelligent and diligent people, and we have enough to be proud of. we have reasons to say proudly： we are sure to take the lead in the world in the future again, for our problems are big, but our ambition (雄心) is even bigger, our challenges (挑战) are great, but our will is evengreater.
i am chinese. i have inherited (继承) black hair and blackeyes. i have inherited the virtues of my ancestors. i have also taken over responsibility. i am sure, that wherever i go, whatever i do, i shall never forget that i am chinese!
thank you.
