坚持英文演讲稿

那些坚持不懈的人会看到阳光Good morning ladies and gentlemen, When I was in high school, I once did very poorly on an important exam. My father didn’t punish me, but told me one simple sentence “fishing itself is more important than the fish.” I was a bit unsure hearing that. I know that my father loves fishing. I often saw him release the fish after catching them. And he had told me more than once that he went fishing just because he wanted to feel the rod in his hands as the fish plays with the hook, and to feel the thrill of lifting the fish out of the water. But I could not find out what his words have to do with me. I repeated his words over and over again. Then I began to understand what he really meant. To his way of thinking, the process of doing something is much more important than the result. And I realized a truth that I could cherish: those who are optimistic and self-confident, and who enjoy doing something new, worry less about failure. They see in every activity a process of self-discovery and self-fulfillment that can not be measured by an exam or the number of fish in one’s basket. Unfortunately, too many people think differently. These people insist that it is only the result that matters. A bad result makes them dissatisfied with themselves far more than it should. And the more they feel this way, the more they forgot what little they learned. Yes, I now said to myself, fishing itself is much more important than the fish. Although four years have passed, I can still remember the moment when my father said that sentence to me. We need to appreciate the value in living, despite its many setbacks. Roads are for the journey, not the destination. Sunshine awaits those who keep the path！ 女士们先生们，早上好： 我上中学的时候，曾经在一次非常重要的考试中考砸了。父亲没有骂我，只是对我说了一句很简单的话：“钓鱼本身要比鱼更为重要。” 我不太明白他的话是什么意思。我知道父亲爱好钓鱼。我经常看见他在钓到鱼之后把鱼放回水里。他也不止一次跟我说过，他去钓鱼，只是为了在鱼将要上钩之际获得那种钓竿在手的感觉，为了感受将鱼从水中拖出的那种振颤。但是我并不明白他的话跟我有什么关系。 我一遍又一遍地叨念父亲的话，慢慢地我开始懂得他的真正含义了。在他看来，做某件事情的过程要比结果重要的多。我也认识到一个自己可以珍藏起来的道理：那些乐观而自信的人，那些能从尝试新事物中得到乐趣的人，并不担心失败。他们把每一件事都看作是自我发掘和自我实现的过程，而这个过程是不能以一次考试的成绩或是筐里的鱼的数量所能衡量的。 不幸的事，太多的人不这样想。他们坚持认为结果是唯一重要的。一个坏结果会让他们对自己感到不满意，那是大可不必的。他们越是这样想，越会忘记自己学会的东西有多少。是的，现在我告诫自己，钓鱼本身比鱼更为重要。尽管已经过去四年了，我仍然能记得父亲说出那句话的那一刻。 尽管生活中挫折比比皆是，我们也要去赏识生活的价值。道路是为了旅行而存在的，不是为目的地而存在的。那些坚持不懈的人会看到阳光！
