2分钟的英语励志演讲稿（通用3篇）
How often do you hear people say “I will be happy when …”such as “When Iget that thing，I will be happy，” “I will be happy when I pass the exam” and “Iwould be happy if I had more money”。 I have heard these things before and I amsure that I will hear them again。
Many people want to believe that finding happiness is all about finding orgetting something that they want。 However，not many people have ever foundlong-term happiness by achieving a goal。 There will always be another thing thatthey want。 There will always be another exam or another dollar。
To break this vicious cycle，we must find our happiness somewhere else―within ourselves。 In other words，happiness is pletely an inside job。 The keyto finding happiness is to understand that happiness is a choice rather than theresult of an experience。 We have been given everything
We need to be happy。 Allow yourself to choose happiness。 If life wasperfect，would you be happy? Life is perfect because we create it with ourchoices。 Since we can create life，we can create happiness and choose how muchbetter our lives can get!
Only when we can accept that life is perfect as it is，and that our livesare the sum total of everything that has happened up to this moment，can weaccept the joy and the happiness we deserve。
There is actually a pie in the sky。 It was made especially for you。 It isyour favorite flavor。 You can eat as much of it as you want。 It is all yours andyou don’t have to share it with anyone。
Now，all you have todo to get your pie is build a set of stairs，climb up your stairs，and reach outyour hand to take it。
First，you must figure out what the design of your stairs will be。 If youdon’t know，find a person who has managed to build a set of stairs to reach hispie，and find out what needs to be done。
Next，you will need to prepare for your stairs。 You need to buy the woodand the tools。 You might need to replace some broken tools。
Finally，and this is the hardest step，you need to focus your mind on yourwork。 The actual work requires constructing the stairs。 You may find that you’veworked really hard for days，weeks or even months，and then suddenly find thatyour stairs are not going to line up with your pie。 So you need to make surethat you still have money to buy new materials and rebuild your stairs in theright direction。
With proper planning and careful pacing，you will be able to reach yourpie。 Your pie is right there，right above you。 All you need to do is get it。
Time is like a sharp knife。
It can carve hard lines on beautiful faces and wear out youth year afteryear，but using it well can make a piece of simple stone into a great statue。St。 Mary Academy is still a simple piece of white stone briefly carved，but astime marches on，duanwenw，。 it may be spoiled by dust，worn out by weather，orbroken into separate pieces。 It may be also carefully carved by knife intowonderful statues。 Everyone at school，including our schoolmates，controls thisknife。
If I have a chance to live to be an old woman，I shall，in my peacefuldreams，seek the old paths leading through the trees which I used to travel downin my earlier days。 The old bell tower，standing in the golden sunlight，makes aslow，solemn1 sound as girls pour into the church like a stream。 There they willkneel，pray and whisper to their spiritual Lord about the little things in theirlives。 They will ask him to help them in reaching their future goals and I canhear the old church tower whisper in return，“Yes，St。 Mary certainly possessesthe most hard-working girls that shall glorify2 her with their brightfutures!”
What I feel when I hear these words depends on whether I have done anythingmeaningful over the years。 If I have been successful，I will smile with prideand contentment，for I have taken a part，though a very small part，in carvingout，with the knife of time，this wonderful model of school life。
