1、一 My view of successLadies and Gentlemen,Good evening! I am very glad to be here to share with you my view of success. Everybody desires success but what on earth is success?You may ask me “Is fortune success? Is fame success? Is a high status success? No, I dont think so. Although they may be calle

2、d success in some way, I think success lies more in the success of our striving for success. For example, Chinas entry into the WTO is a success; Beijings bid for the 2021 Olympics is a success; our national football teams dash into the World Cup is a success. However, have you imagined the efforts

3、it took to yield these successful examples? Many people only concentrate on the results but dont pay enough attention to the process entailed to success.What made the process and the eventual success possible? The answer is trying and constant trying. If we had quitted, success would have escaped fr

4、om us however much we yelled for it. In other words, it is perseverance that has made and will make success available to us.Therefore, whenever we begin to do anything, we should not always lay emphasis on the results only. Keep in mind that the process of chasing success may get us lots of experien

5、ce, may make us more intelligent, may make more determined and prepared for next endeavour. Even if we dont succeed in the end, the process will contribute to us in that it will prepare us for the future.As we all know, Rose, a famous brand, which plays a key role in leading the fashion home and abr

6、oad, is enjoying what we call prosperity and wide prospect. For the director and all the staff, it is definitely an amazing success. However, more attention should be given to what it took to make their dream come into reality.As to me, standing here giving a speech is also a success to some extent.

7、 No matter what the results are, I surely will get a lot of experience and make lots of friends because it is more important that I have done what I can.I would like to quote a great British naturalist John Ray as saying, “success belongs to the persevering. My friends, as long as you keep trying, s

8、uccess will approach you and hug you finally.At last, I wish this oral competition a great success, wish you all success! Thank you for being with me!二 My definition of successToday I am very glad to be here to share with you my ideas of success. What is success? It is what everyone is longing for.S

9、ometimes success would be rather simple. Winning a game is success; getting a high grade in the exam is success; making a new friend is success; even now I am standing here giving my speech is somehow also success.However, as a persons whole life is concerned, success becomes very complicated. Is fo

10、rtune success? Is fame success? Is high social status success? No, I dont think so. I believe success is the realization of peoples hopes and ideals.Nowadays, in the modern society there are many people who are regarded as the successful. And the most obvious characteristics of hem are money, high p

11、osition and luxurious life. So most people believe that s success and all that they do is for this purpose. But the problem is wether it is real success. We all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us. If we keep chasing them, where is the end? What will

12、 satisfy us at last? Therefore, we can see, to get the real Success we must need something inside, which is the realization of people hopes and ideals.Different people have different ideas about success; cause peoples hopes and ideas vary from one another. But I am sure every success is dear to ever

13、ybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility. These are the best treasures. So now I am

14、very proud that I have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you. It is my success, cause I raise up to challenge my hope.What is success? Everyone has his own interpretation as I do. But I am sure every success leads to an ever-brighter future. So ladies and gentlemen, believe in our ho

15、pes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a successful life!三 My Definition of SuccessBy Chen Heng 陳恒 上海外國語大學(xué)(獲得第五屆全國英語演講比賽冠軍)“Once upon a time， there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. To all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the han

16、d of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. One day, into the king's palace came a handsome young prince." Well, you know the rest. The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the pr

17、ince claiming the princess's hand triumphantly.And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line "And they live happily every after."Why aren't we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, I would say, so unimaginative? How can a story like that endure generatio

18、ns of repetition? Because, I think, it is a typical success story. It is highly philosophical and symbolic. By implication, we see a 4-step definition of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess; 2 ) challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks; 3 ) the proc

19、ess of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; and 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage.The story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result. Th

20、e reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa. If a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence

21、. The term "success", to be sure. will not sit still for easy definition. But as I understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor. To clarify my view, let me give another analogy.If we changed the rules of foo

22、tball, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. If we further changed the rules by not allowing Arsenal'

23、s defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. In accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its val

24、ue. The sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.The concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative. Something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person. In acquiring the ab

25、ility to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success. That's why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly to the field of science.I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up gre

26、at courage to take part in a speech contest like this. I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level contest.But I chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. Now here I am. If I come out first, it will be a great success for me. If I come o

27、ut last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. For me, it is a meaningful step forward

28、, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because I have truly gained by participating.Let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of success. You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned

29、 as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too.Thank you.譯文:成功之我見“很久以前，有個(gè)國王，他的女兒貌美如花。老國王向所有來求婚的男士提出了三個(gè)任務(wù)作為挑戰(zhàn)，而每一項(xiàng)任務(wù)都異常艱巨，幾乎不可能完成。一天，來了一位年輕英俊的王子好了，下面的故事你們都知道了。三項(xiàng)任務(wù)在不同的版本中各不相同，但關(guān)鍵局部的情節(jié)都如出一轍:王子成功地過關(guān)，得到了公主的芳心。而故事的結(jié)局也都一樣，最后一句都寫道:“從此他們幸福地生活在一起。為什么我們對如此美妙、如此不切實(shí)際,而我要說,如此缺乏想象力的東西這么樂此不疲呢?這樣的故事又如何能夠經(jīng)歷幾代人的重復(fù)?我想，因?yàn)樗堑湫偷某晒Φ睦?。故事的思想性很?qiáng)，具有代表性。通過故事帶給我們的啟示，我們認(rèn)識(shí)到了成功定義中的四個(gè)步驟;第一，目標(biāo)的設(shè)定，有如故事里美麗的公主;第二，所遇到的困難和挑戰(zhàn)，就像三大任務(wù);第三，克服困難的過程，故事中青年經(jīng)歷重重難關(guān)可以作為象征;第四，就是成功的果
