英语演讲稿：My definition of success

The English speech about success

　 I’m glad to be here to share with you my definition of success.

　　When we mentioned the success, the usual worldly criteria are wealth, fame, high social status and something other like that. In reality, we can’t deny t these things in some way. But personally, I believe that success is the realization of people’ hopes and wishes. And to live with a high ideal is a successful life. It is not what one does, but what one tries to do, that make a man strong. So I believe that success is ninety-nine percent mental attitude, it calls for lots of positive quality: effort, love, diligence, efficiency and so on. I think the successful life always have these characters. If a person inherits his family’s millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person in material terms, it just can be said that he has the smooth way of life, he is lucky in some way, but that is not the success .Unceasing effort is the price of success. No matter what is the result, we always can get more from the process. What we should do is that insisting on our goals or dreams and always encourage
ourselves to challenge more, to hold the opportunities, never give up. It sounds like simple, but it is really hard to do. Also the key points of the success.

　　Relatively speaking, in our daily life, success would be rather simple. For me, I’m standing here to take part in the speech competition is somehow also success. As I’m a easy to suffer from stage fright, I choose to hold this chance, my goal is my own character training——to be more confident, to have more courage to front such situation, I really do it, I have truly gained by participating, I’m success.

　　What is success? I’m sure that everyone has his own interpretation as I do. In the inspiring words of Philips Brooks:“ Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers ,pray for powers equal to your tasks, then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle.” So believe in our hopes ,believe in ourselves. Every one can create the success.

　　Thank you!
