Speech on Growing up in Adversity 1 Dear leaders, teachers and dear students,
Good Morning, everyone!
I am xxx. I think it is a great honor to take part in the school speech contest this time. Thank you for giving me such an opportunity. In this competition, one of the topics I want to speak is growing up in adversity.
As we all know, there are always good times and bad times in life, but in good times, there will still be bad times. At this time, what we encounter is prosperity, which proves that we are lucky, but if it is adversity, we should not feel unlucky. You know, there are opportunities in bad times, mainly depending on how you handle them. In life, nine times out of ten things are unsatisfactory, and we can't think that the world is gloomy as soon as we encounter unsatisfactory things. We should learn to grow hard in adversity, and the chances in adversity are half and half. As long as you don't get discouraged easily, you will always find a way out.
We should know that the success of many celebrities is not smooth sailing. They have experienced countless difficulties before they can succeed and become well-known celebrities. For example, Beethoven can compose so many famous songs in such adversity as deafness, which is enough to prove that adversity is not terrible. The terrible thing is that he gives up on himself, so adversity is not always terrible. Sometimes when we encounter difficulties, we find it difficult to solve them. In fact, we haven't learned to accept ourselves in a bad environment. Adversity is to let yourself see your own shortcomings, and then slowly change in resistance and acceptance, until you really accept your imperfect self and accept the self that is not good in some places. Only by growing up in adversity can we not be defeated by adversity.
Have you heard the story of salmon breeding against the current? Salmon must return from the ocean to fresh water every year to produce fry, which is the only way for them to reproduce. They must return to the river from the sea to keep their offspring alive, otherwise they can't reproduce, but you know what? How difficult is it to swim against the current? It always goes downstream, relying on water power to drift with the current, but salmon must swim against the current in order to breed, which depends on their swimming ability to succeed. Do you think salmon, a kind of fish, has to go through difficulties and obstacles against the enemy and the environment on the way back to the upper class, and can face adversity? Why can't we? We do the same in our study. Sometimes I feel that the topic is difficult, I don't want to do it, I want to give up, but why can't I use reverse thinking to find a way?
We are still students, and the difficulties we encounter are not as good as one tenth of others, but we can grow from them in the face of adversity. We are salmon that swim against the current, and let ourselves grow in adversity.
Thank you, and the speech is over.
Good afternoon, teachers, students and debaters. I'm debater Liu. Today, our view is that adversity is more conducive to people's growth.
First of all, let's explain our definition: adversity refers to the situation that people need to make more efforts than expected in the process of pursuing their goals, including difficulties and setbacks, which can bring tests and challenges to people. Growth refers to the improvement of people's knowledge, connotation, experience, ability and personality, so as to be closer to maturity. Growth here emphasizes the process, and maturity emphasizes the result. At this time, it is necessary for us to expand the definition of despair. As I said just now, adversity is a situation in which people need to make greater efforts than expected within the range that people can bear, while despair is a situation in which people suffer beyond the range that people can bear. Just like, no food is despair, and the food given is rarely adversity. Of course, just give a lot of food and more delicious food.
Next, we will explain step by step how adversity is more conducive to people's growth:
First of all, adversity is conducive to sharpening people's will and making people's personality more sound. Sima Qian's "Letter to Ren An" did not go over his head. At this time, the difficulties were desperate in front of those who bowed their heads, because for them, these difficulties made them have no choice. At this time, similar cases of despair are beyond the scope of this debate.
Then, adversity can make people sum up experience from failure and lay the foundation for future success. Mr. Yang Zhenning, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, said that if he had not encountered so many adversities in his life, he would not have achieved today. Not only Edison's old example of making tungsten wire tells us the importance of this adversity, but there are many examples, so we don't need to list them one by one. Let's start with our preparation for senior three. Many of us have left behind a lot of knowledge points in our first and second year of high school, which is much behind other students who have been studying hard. Preparing for the exam in the third grade is undoubtedly a kind of adversity for students who have fallen behind in knowledge points, and they need to make greater efforts than expected to approach and achieve their goals. Every student here must have missed a lot of questions and reviewed the same knowledge point countless times, so as to be able to cope with the same type of questions related to the college entrance examination and reduce the error rate.
According to human nature, if there is a smoother road to go, we will not choose the road full of thorns. Many times, we can't help falling into all kinds of adversity. There is no choice in life, and there is a lot of helplessness, isn't there?
In addition, we don't deny that prosperity is conducive to people's growth, but relatively speaking, adversity is more conducive to people's growth. As Christine sang in "The First Dream": "If pride is not coldly photographed by the real sea, how will you know how hard you have to work to go far? If your dream never falls off a cliff, how do you know that persistent people have invisible wings? " What does it matter if you get stuck in the mud on the way to your dreams? The flowers in the mud are the most beautiful!
To sum up, I insist that adversity is more conducive to people's growth. My speech is over, thank you!
Speech on Growing up in Adversity 3 Dear teachers and students:
Hello everyone! The topic of my speech today is: grass growing in adversity.
In the winter afternoon, I walked on the forest path in my hometown. Fresh air, fragrant fragrance, quiet voice! La la la la la, I am humming a ditty and walking casually.
Beautiful sounds pass by, the stream is playing a symphony, running forward, the birds are chirping in a cheerful rhythm, and the wind is whistling as if the music inspiration is endless, the melody is constantly changing, and the beautiful scenery in front of you is panoramic. The leaves are yellow, and the fallen leaves are like the spirits of the earth. Several small fish in the stream are playing in the water. The wild chrysanthemum gives off a burst of fragrance, which is intoxicating
Suddenly, an unremarkable grass growing in a crack caught my attention. I thought to myself, how did it survive in a gap without nutrition and water? I removed the stone and found that the root of the grass was actually "broken". It suddenly dawned on me that this grass is struggling to grow in order to see the light, the sunshine and the whole world. No matter how bad the environment is, it is growing tenaciously, just to realize its little dream.
A week later, when I went to see it again, I found it was higher than before. However, the leaves were frozen by the cold climate in winter and began to turn yellow, even with traces of insect bites, but even so, the grass grew tenaciously.
So I go to see it every weekend and bring some fertilizer occasionally.
A few weeks later, I returned to my hometown. The first thing is to look at that strong grass. When I got there, I was shocked. Where is the grass? The grass disappeared, and suddenly I found that the root of the grass was still in the gap. It must have been eaten by a small animal. I thought it would sprout again next spring.
A grass, for its own dream, that little dream, grows desperately, even in the real world of the jungle, it is still growing hard. Isn't it? People grow up in adversity for their dreams, even if they can't realize their original dreams, they are also exercising themselves and making themselves braver.
Although the grass in adversity does not live as long as the grass in greenhouse, the grass in adversity is not afraid of wind and rain, and so are people. People who grow up in adversity may have encountered many setbacks and suffered from failure, but at the same time they have gained rich social experience and unusual courage!
Speech on Growing up in Adversity 4 Dear teachers and students,
Hello everyone!
There is a good saying, "Plum blossoms are fragrant, and it is freezing cold if you don't order them."
Adversity produces talents, and adversity produces true knowledge. Growth requires adversity, difficulties and even despair. Growth is not always smooth sailing, there will always be hardships, setbacks and failures.
When we grow up, we will always have muddy paths just like walking; There will be uneven slopes; There will be uneven dirt roads; It is impossible to always level the road. In a word, this road is bumpy.
This is the way of life. It will never be smooth sailing, there will be twists and turns.
The road to growth will not be smooth sailing, and there will inevitably be some setbacks and hardships.
Beethoven, a famous music master, was deaf in both ears. He once warned himself, "I will hold my destiny by the throat, and it will never make me completely yield." So he played a brilliant "destiny" swan song; Writer lev tolstoy, who is ugly and short, is often laughed at, but he used his life to complete works such as Resurrection and AleKarenina. In view of the harm of radium, Madame Curie discovered radium with her life and won the Nobel Prize. ...
In the process of growing up, we often need this dilemma. If not, we can create it.
When Han Xin attacked Zhao, the soldiers were asked to line up with their backs, leaving themselves in a state of no retreat. As a result, all the soldiers fought bravely and defeated Zhao. When Xiang Yu attacked Qin Jun, he led troops across the river, broke the rice cooker and sank the ferry, which made the soldiers fall into the desperate situation of no way back to show their determination to defeat the enemy without fighting, and finally defeated Qin Jun. ...
Grow like a ballad, sometimes high and sometimes low;
Growth is like a path, sometimes flat, sometimes bumpy;
Growing like a stream, sometimes stirring, so soothing;
……
Growing up is something that everyone has experienced. In the process of growing up, some people go downstream in prosperity. Some people are in adversity and go upstream.
Therefore, people who often learn to grow up in adversity, predicament and despair must be strong.
"The sunshine is always after the storm." Only when we get out of the predicament of life can we have a good life.
Those who dare to create a desperate situation for themselves in their growth will eventually succeed and create brilliance. But in fact, few people expect that they will despair. On the other hand, people who talk all day about "the sword is sharpened and the plum blossom is bitter and cold" but do nothing all day, covet pleasure and live under the protection of their parents are doomed to failure.
Growth needs adversity, and it is because of growth that life becomes more colorful; It is because of growth that there are challenges in the world ...
Growth needs adversity. "Adversity makes true knowledge."
Speech on Growing up in Adversity 5 Dear teachers and students:
Without wind and rain, there would be no maturity of autumn fruits; Without the biting wind, there would be no tenacity of pine and cypress. In adversity, don't blame others blindly, but study how to overcome difficulties. Peterson said: "In life, there are often countless blows from the outside world, but the final decision is in your own hands."
Adversity gives people valuable opportunities for tempering. Only those who can stand the test of adversity can become truly strong. Great men at all times and in all countries struggled out of adversity with indomitable spirit. Beethoven, who was deaf, trudged on the black and white keys covered with thorns, knocked on the sacred door of fate with his fingers, and made a brilliant movement in which musicians struggled tenaciously against bad luck. Sima Qian endured the pain of castration and completed the historical masterpiece Historical Records. Zhou Wenwang was detained and played Zhouyi. "Heaven will descend to the people of Sri Lanka, and they must first suffer their minds and work hard." Therefore, adversity is a stepping stone for the strong to climb the peak and an abyss for the weak to go to destruction.
Some countries in Europe and America deliberately turn straight roads into detours. The high cost of road construction and driving time are really "asking for trouble" for Europeans and Americans who have economic minds and regard time as money. But they think it is worthwhile, because speeding on a straight road without any obstacles for a long time can easily paralyze people and lead to traffic accidents. With the obstruction of corners, drivers must always be vigilant and dare not take it lightly. Facts have proved that their approach is wise.
Adversity needs neither praise nor expectation, but it must be faced squarely. Once we are in adversity, the most important thing is to have confidence, perseverance, courage, perseverance and practical spirit. Even at the end of our rope, we still have to think that we will have a turn for the better.
Speech on Growing up in Adversity 6 Dear teachers and students,
When the young eagle grows big enough, the mother eagle will drive the young eagle out of the hole and let the young eagle know how to fly. On the contrary, if we continue to leave the young eagle in the cave, then the young eagle will die in the law of the jungle in the future. Animals are still like this, and people who are higher animals should learn to grow up in adversity. Without wind and rain, there would be no maturity of autumn fruits; Without the biting wind, there would be no tenacity of pine and cypress. In adversity, don't blame others blindly, but study how to overcome difficulties. The strong are optimistic and enterprising to meet it, and the weak will only become weak in adversity.
Charlotte Brontexq's life is hard and magnificent, just like a cactus flower in the desert. After many failures and understanding cynicism, she finally wrote Jane Eyre, which caused a sensation in the literary world. Beethoven, who was deaf, trudged on the black and white keys covered with thorns, knocked on the sacred door of fate with his fingers, and made a brilliant movement in which musicians struggled tenaciously against bad luck. Sima Qian went to prison innocently, endured the pain of imprisonment in prison and endured humiliation and burden. He just finished the great historical work-Historical Records under great pressure, and my life is not always smooth.
When I got good grades, all I got was a gratified smile: "This achievement is well deserved." ; When I am proud that I passed my opponent's exam, I will only be greeted by a pot of cold water: "There are people outside, and your success is negligible." When I am weak because of repeated failures, a pair of big hands will help me wipe away my tears and firmly say, "What are you afraid of? Try again! " "
Although we can't compare with those celebrities, adversity has tempered our will and made us stronger. "A person's life is like a rushing flood. It is difficult to stir up beautiful waves without encountering islands and reefs." Adversity is the cornerstone of success, and life is wonderful because of setbacks. Let's grow in adversity!
Speech on Growing up in Adversity 7 Dear teachers and students,
Hello everyone!
Seize today and be strong in adversity.
When a ray of sunshine in the morning gently touches your cheek, when the sunshine penetrates the leaves and sprinkles on the brand-new beauty, take a deep breath. Do you feel happy that you are a healthy and free person? The light in front of us, the wonderful music flowing from the radio, and the inner longing for hope, everything is so beautiful! They are gifts from heaven ... how happy we are!
But there are always some unfortunate things. Helen Keller, the protagonist of If I Have Three Days of Light, is an unfortunate person. Her misfortune is because when she was one year old, a sudden illness changed her from a carefree little girl to a deaf-mute blind person who could not see her eyes or hear her ears overnight. However, she is lucky. Her luck lies in the pain and hardship of her fearless growth, overcoming many difficulties and realizing her dream with a positive attitude and a desire for knowledge. At first, Helen was short-tempered after being deprived of sight and hearing. She can't feel the love in life. She longed for the light in her heart. It was not until the arrival of Anne Sullivan that she rekindled her hope for life. With the help of the teacher, she learned to read and write. With tenacious perseverance and firm belief, she finally got into an ideal university.
Helen longed for heaven to give her three days of light so that she could study her relatives and friends. She wants to visit museums and art galleries. She tried to understand the true face of human beings and nature. She also wants to live an ordinary day in the eyes of healthy people ... I wander in her simple language, and I am moved by her spirit of always going up in adversity.
This summer vacation, I took the King Music Theory Band 5 exam. I have always been confident that I can pass the exam smoothly, and when I came out, I was dumbfounded and failed! I am full of regret and regret, and I want to give up. I don't want to learn such boring things anymore. That day, I hid in my room and cried silently. I even want to rush outside in the rain, trying to let the rain wash away my unhappiness. A few days later, I turned to the book "If Give Me Three Days of Light" on the bookcase, and Helen's fearless and brave spirit came into my mind again. I smiled lightly, but it was only an exam. If my ability is reached, why not try again?
In real life, there are always people around us who are healthy but afraid of difficulties; Excellent conditions, but not progress, avoiding homework, ignoring the teacher's teaching, encountering insurmountable homework problems, and holding the attitude of giving up thinking and not answering short questions; Has our will been obliterated by long-term immersion in happiness? No, it's not. I believe this is just a short sleep. We need to wake it up. Like Helen, we should hold the courage and confidence in life and constantly surpass ourselves.
We can't predict tomorrow, but we can grasp today; We can't expand the length of life, but we can expand the width of life; Let's seize today and be strong in adversity!
