外研社杯演讲比赛2014年- Change the unchangeable（一）Change the unchangeableGood morning, everyone. Its my pleasure to deliver this speech here. The subject of my presentation is “change the unchangeable”, which means try your best to make a change when stuck in an unchangeable situation. No wonder that there exists something unchangeable in our life, getting into the way of striving for what we want. There are plenty of unchangeable obstacles for us. They are serious and they are many. They will hardly be meet. But know this, my friends, they will be meet. Once you believe in yourself, the unchangeable is going to be changed.Nothing is impossible, and in a sense, nothing is unchangeable! The thing absolutely unchangeable does not exist. Sometimes, adversities seems really unchangeable for the moment, but we must realize that they can be changed in some way. Moses was a stutterer, yet he was called on to be the voice of god. As we can also see in the film “The kings speech”, stammer is unchangeable for the king, the duke of York. But once his realized that he need to make a change and inspired by the words “to be or not to be, it is a question”, he returned to the hospital, and accepted the retreatment again. With the help of the doctor Lionel Logue, he gradually made progress and managed to get over his unchangeable physical disability.There are endless examples. Abraham Lincoln overcome a difficult childhood, depression, the death of two sons and the constant failure seems unchangeable to become one of the greatest presidents in America. Helen Keller made an impact on the world despite being deaf, dumb, and blind from an early age.These were the people who managed to change the unchangeable. Some of them make a change in a direct way, and others do not change the adversity unchangeable exactly, but they succeed in changing what they could do in the unchangeable situation. They changed the authoritative view the majority put on them. And this is the right way in which we can change the unchangeable. To conclude, I appeal to all of you for doubting the unchangeable and trying to change the unchangeable.（二）Change the unchangeableGood afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. It is a great honor for me to be given these opportunities to deliver a speech. The subject of my presentation is change the unchangeable. One of my mottoes is “Change your thinking, change your life!” Im a big believer that our thoughts and emotions shape our experiences. The problem is that most people arent aware of their negative thoughts. Its almost like they have just become a habit, so it seems normal to them.You think that you are a victim. In fact, youre not a victim. So stop blaming other people or your circumstances for your problems, just because you dont like where you are now doesnt mean that you cant take personal responsibility to change it for the better. So get rid of that mentality because it doesnt help anything. Actually, it acts as an obstacle to success. Realize that you, and only you, are responsible for your destiny. Some things you can change. In fact, a lot of things you can change. You can lose weight. You can find a better job. You can go back to school. You can study hard. You can and you must change the unchangeable. You cant believe that the past determines your future. Just because you came from a poor family, or made mistakes in the past does not mean that you cant make your future better. If you have labeled yourself as a “failure” because of your past, then you will only continue your “failure” attitude into the future. And if youre heard of the self-fulfilling prophecy phenomenon, then you know that what you think, you become. So like I said in the opening paragraph: “Change your thinking, change your life!”In a word, you just make great effort; keep the right attitude, and believe that everything is possible if you try to do it. Change the unchangeable; your life will be better.（三）Change the unchangeableWhen I was about 10 years old in primary school, I believed that my future would have nothing to do with two things: music and English. Now, I play my guitar nearly every day and in the near future I will be hosting an English salon. Changing the unchangeable seemed to be a mission impossible to me at first sight, but then it dawned on me that to say whether one thing is unchangeable or not is sometimes quite a personal judgment. It might be our fear, indecisiveness or carelessness that prevent us from finding the solutions. We are just sometimes too used to the settled plans, customs and routines that we fail to come up with the idea of making changes. To change the unchangeable is just like to give a good speech on the stage that the priority is always to jump out of the box and see the things from different perspectives.Impassioned speechLandmarkOn Friday, first lady Michelle Obama gave an impassioned speech on diversity to high school graduates in Topeka, Kansas, where the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case started. 周五，在堪萨斯州托皮卡市，美国第一夫人米歇尔奥巴马就高中毕业生多样化发展作了激情的演讲。美国历史上意义重大的布朗诉托皮卡教育局案就发生在托皮卡市。 You all are the living, breathing legacy of this case, ” Obama said. “Many districts in this country have pulled back on efforts to integrate their schools. Many communities have become less diverse.Obama also delivered the commencement address to graduates of Dillard University in New Orleans. 米歇尔也在新奥尔良市的迪拉德大学作毕业典礼演讲。 “No dream is too big, no vision is too bold, she said on May 10. As long as we stay hungry for education and let that hunger be our North Star, there is nothing, graduates, nothing, that we cannot achieve.” 她在5月10号说：“梦想没有极限，远见还需大胆。只要我们渴望知识，把这渴望当做指引我们的北极星，同学们，那就没有什么事是办不成的。” At the University of Massachusetts Lowell on Sunday, Bill Nye had a similar message for graduates: Change the world. 星期天，比尔内在马萨诸塞大学卢维尔分校也向毕业生传达了相似的信息：“改变世界”。 Im not kidding. Change the world in new, exciting and big ways, Nye, better known as The Science Gu
