believe in yourself, that is self-confidence.

confidence is power--the power to attract, persuade, influence, and succeed. imagine what your life would be like if you had an abundance of self confidence !

confidence isn't an inherited trait, it' s a learned one. this means that you can have an abun-

dance of self-confidence. start here, right now.

confidence starts in the mind. what you think of yourself very much influences the way you feel about yourself. this, in turn, affects the way you speak and act.

no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

the very first thing you have to do to create abundant self-confidence is to start thinking with confidence. pay attention to your internal dialogue, and learn to notice when you allow negativity or doubt to control the course of your thinking.

your environment has a tremendous influence on you. the books you read, the people you spend time with, and the music you listen to all influence the way you think and feel about yourself and the world around you.

in a nutshell, your environment can either build up your self-confidence or drag it down.

if you're in a situation where you're discouraged, such as an unhealthy relationship or a miserable job, you have to change that situation if you want your self-confidence level to grow.

create an environment that supports you if your desire to have abundant self-confidence. spend time with confident people.

remember those, self-confidence can be yours. take it!

相信自己，也就是自信。自信

信信就是力量——吸引、说服、影响和成功的力量。想想一下，如果你有信心，你的生活会是什么样子！

自信不是来自遗传，而是需要学习的。这意味着你也可以自信。从现在、从这里开始。

自信必须首先从想法开始。你怎么样看待自己，很大程度就影响了你觉得自己怎样。它也会影响你说话和做事的方式。

没有你的默认，谁也无法将你看低一等。

自信的第一步是开始自信地审始自己。注意你内心的对话，当你让消极和怀疑控制你的思想。

你周围的环境对你有很大的影响。你读的书，和你在一起的人，听的人都会影响你的思维方式，你对自己的感觉，以及你对世界的看法。

总之，你的周围环境要么增强你的自信，要么打击你的自信。

如果你现在所处的环境让你备受打击，比如说有一段不健康的关系或者一份痛苦的工作，如果你想提高自信的话，你就要改变你现在的处境。

如果你想自信，就要创造一个支持你的环境，花时间和自信的人在一起。

记住这些，自信就属于你。抓住它!

life is what we make it

are you dissatisfied with today's success? it is the harvest from yesterday's sowing. do you dream of a golden morrow?

you will reap what you are sowing today. we get out of life just what we put into it.

nature takes on our moods: she laughs with those who laugh and weeps with those who weep. if we rejoice and are glad the very birds sing more sweetly, the woods and streams murmur our song.

but if we are sad and sorrowful a sudden gloom falls upon nature's face; the sun shines, but not in our hearts, the birds sing, but not to us.

the future will be just what we make it. our purpose will give it its character. one's resolution is one's prophecy.

leave all your discouraging pessimi** behind. do not prophesy evil, but good. men of hope ***e to the front.

人生自创论

你对今日的成就满意吗？它是昨日播种的收获。你梦想有一个辉煌的明天吗？你只能收获你今天播种的东西。我们从生活中得到的正是我们以前付出的。

大自然反映了我们的心情：她笑得像人笑，哭得像人哭。如果我们心情愉快，鸟儿的歌声会更加优美悦耳，甚至树木和溪流也会轻柔地唱起我们的歌声。

但是，如果我们心情忧伤，突如其来的幽暗就会笼罩自然界的脸庞；遍地阳光，却没有照映在我们心上，鸟儿依旧鸣叫，却不再是对这我们欢唱。

未来是靠我们去创造。我们的意志决定未来的性质。一个人的决心就是他的预言。将一切令人沮丧的悲观抛在脑后。不要预言不幸，但你可以预言运气-一个有希望的人会出现。

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 ***es to love, satisfaction, happiness and many other human feelings, it is ***pletely 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 situation.

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!

blue pla***

we all have a ***mon home. she provides us with enough food, enough water and enough living room. we get everything from the nature to live better, but we donnot do anything to protect her.

how the air is polluted; the earth is poisoned; water is unsafe to drink and rubbish is burying the civilization that man owns.

our environment is being polluted faster than nature and man's present efforts can prevent. time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry. so many trees will be cut down, and more large cities will be set up.

lots of waste material, in return, is produced and harms the environment. so some experts declare that the balance of nature is being upset, so that the very survival of man is in danger.

there is a poem written by langston hughes hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die,life is a broken-winged bird. that can never fly.hold fast to dreams, for if dreams go, life is a barren field,frozen with snow. how beautiful it is. yes, we shouldn’t give up our dreams.we shouldn’t give in to the large pressure on the way to realize our dreams.how shall we dorobert h. goddard gave us the answer, “it is difficult to say which is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and reality oftomorrow” youth is not a time of life，it is a state of mind; it is not a matter ofrosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees， it is a matter of the will, aquality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions.it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.youth means a tempera-mental 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 may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. worry,fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust. whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, 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 is a wirelessstation: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, you and i will remain 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 upto catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may have young heart at 80.

青春不是生命的一瞬，它是一种自然的心境；青春不是如花的脸庞、鲜红的嘴唇和健康柔润 的双腿，它是一种意志、想象、精力，更是生命中那生机勃勃的春天。 青春是冲动的勇敢而不是懦弱,青春是挑战的欲望而不是安逸的生活。即使年过花甲,壮心不已.没有人痴长百岁,而伴随着的是我们抛却幻想,锤炼生活的经历。岁月让我们的皮肤起了皱纹,但缺乏激情会让我们的灵魂萎缩。焦虑、恐惧、缺乏自信让心稽首，更让心灵的青春尘封。无论60岁还是16岁，我们每个人都有着天生的好奇心、孩子般刨根追底不厌其烦的渴求欲望、幻想游戏人生的生活方式。在你我心中有着心灵的默契：只要我们的心还能从人们的身上和大自然的怀抱中感受到美丽、希望、快乐、勇气和力量，那么我们依旧年轻无限。当幻想破灭，而你愤世嫉俗，对生活充满悲观情绪，那么你已经老了。即使在20岁的时候，只要你积极乐观的追求你心中的幻想，一直到永远，那么你在80岁的时候仍有一颗永保青春的心。

〚7〛演讲稿英文

Last year when I was here, I was speaking to you about a swim which I did across the North Pole.去年，当我站在这里的时候，我在谈论我横跨 北极的游泳。

And while that swim took place three years ago, I can remember it as if it was yesterday.那还是发生在3年前， 对我则好像是昨天一般。

I remember standing on the edge of the ice, about to dive into the water, and thinking to myself, I have never ever seen any place on this earth which is just so frightening.我还记得我站在冰层的边缘， 就要扎进水里， 然后我自己想到，我再也再也 不要看到地球上的这个地方，这里是如此的让人恐惧。

The water is completely black.The water is minus 1.7 degrees centigrade, or 29 degrees Fahrenheit.It's flipping freezing in that water.

那里的水是全黑色。水的温度是负1.7摄氏度， 华氏29度。那水里就是翻动的冰块。

And then a thought came across my mind: if things go pear-shaped on this swim, how long will it take for my frozen body to sink the four and a half kilometers to the bottom of the ocean?然后一个念头在我脑中划过： 如果这场泳出了点问题， 我这冰冻的身体要花多长时间 才能沉到这4500米的底部呢?

And then I said to myself, I've just got to get this thought out of my mind as quickly as possible.然后我告诫我自己，我要把这个念头尽快的 抛在我的脑后。

And the only way I can dive into that freezing cold water and swim a kilometer is by listening to my iPod and really revving myself up,能让我扎入 这冰冷的水里 然后游了4千米的唯一方法就是 听着我的iPod，让我自己全力运转起来，

listening to everything from beautiful opera all the way across to Puff Daddy, and then committing myself a hundred percent -- there is nothing more powerful than the made-up mind --and then walking up to the edge of the ice and just diving into the water.

我听了所有的歌，从华丽的歌剧 到吹牛老爹， 然后全身心的投入 没有什么比下定决心还要厉害的 --然后走到冰的边缘 扎入水里。

And that swim took me 18 minutes and 50 seconds, and it felt like 18 days.这次游泳花了我 18分50秒， 但好像是18天一样。

And I remember getting out of the water and my hands feeling so painful and looking down at my fingers, and my fingers were literally the size of sausages because -- you know, we're made partially of water -- when water freezes it expands, and so the cells in my fingers had frozen and expandedand burst.

我记得当我从水里出来时 我的手时如此的疼痛 然后我看着我的手指， 我的手指真的像香肠一样粗，因为--你们知道了，我们身体一部分由水组成 -- 当水结冰时会膨胀， 这样我手指的里细胞 就冷冻了，膨胀了炸裂了。And the most immediate thought when I came out of that water was the following: I'm never, ever going to do another cold water swim in my life again.我从水里上岸的一瞬间的想法 时这样的： 我一生中 再也再也不要去在冰冷的水里游泳了。

Anyway, last year, I heard about the Himalayas and the melting of the -- (Laughter) and the melting of the glaciers because of climate change.就这样，去年，我听到了喜马拉雅山 以及那里融化的--(笑) 因为气候变化 所融化的冰川。

I heard about this lake, Lake Imja.我听说了这个湖泊，映佳湖。

This lake has been formed in the last couple of years because of the melting of the glacier.这个湖是几年前 由于冰川融化所形成的。

The glacier's gone all the way up the mountain and left in its place this big lake.这些冰川顺山而下 然后在这里留下了这个大湖。

And I firmly believe that what we're seeing in the Himalayas is the next great, big battleground on this earth.由此我坚信 我要去看见的喜马拉雅 就是我下一个在地球上的 战场。

Nearly two billion people -- so one in three people on this earth -- rely on the water from the Himalayas.将近20亿的人口 -- 世界上三分之一的地球人口 -- 依靠着喜马拉雅山的水源。

And with a population increasing as quickly as it is, and with the water supply from these glaciers -- because of climate change --decreasing so much, I think we have a real risk of instability.而世界人口照这个速度发展下去， 而冰川水源的提供 -- 由于气候的变化 --下降的如此之快， 我像我们就有了一个十分不稳定的威胁。

North, you've got China; south, you've India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, all these countries.北方，我们由中国;南方，我们有印度，巴基斯坦，孟加拉， 和其它所有国家。

And so I decided to walk up to Mt. Everest, the highest mountain on this earth, and go and do a symbolic swim underneath the summit of Mt. Everest.这样我决定了 登上珠峰， 地球上的最高峰， 如何在珠峰下 游一次具有象征意义的泳。

Now, I don't know if any of you have had the opportunity to go to Mt. Everest, but it's quite an ordeal getting up there.我不知道，你们是否有机会去珠峰， 但是要去那的话，是一个考验。

28 great, big, powerful yaks carrying all the equipment up onto this mountain -- I don't just have my Speedo, but there's a big film crew who then send all the images around the world.28只巨大的牦牛 载着所有的仪器登上山峰 -- 我不仅仅带这我的泳裤。 还有一个摄像团队这个摄像团队，会向世界各地直播。
