【国旗下演讲】 树立理想 追求卓越

2020届11班  班主任：侯慧丽

敬爱的老师，亲爱的同学们:

大家早上好！今天我们演讲的题目是《树立理想 追求卓越》。

著名思想家苏格拉底曾说过:世界上最快乐的事情，莫过于为理想而奋斗。因此一个人要想成为一个追求卓越的人，就应该首先树立远大的理想。徐特立老先生也说过:一个人有了远大的理想，就是在最艰苦最困难的时候，也会感到幸福。周恩来总理小时候就立下“为中华之崛起而读书”的目标，正是有了这个远大的理想，他成为了共和国第一任总理，一个处处为人民着想，为祖国发展着想的好总理！

理想是一盏灯，点亮，人生便有方向；理想是一扇门，打开，希望就在身旁；理想是一条路，努力,就会到达远方。但仅仅树立理想是不够的，想要实现理想，追求卓越，就要有果断的执行力，更要有“破釜沉舟”的决心与“卧薪尝胆”的毅力，才能有“灭秦吞吴”的累累战果。

司马迁从小就立志要写成一部能够“藏之名山，传之后人”的史书。就在他写这部史书的第七年，由于为李陵辩白，触怒汉武帝，被捕入狱，遭受残酷的“腐刑”，曾因屈辱痛苦打算自杀，可想到自己写史书的理想尚未完成，于是忍辱奋起，前后共历时18年，终于写成《史记》，这部伟大著作深受人们推崇。鲁迅曾高度评价《史记》：“史家之绝唱，无韵之离骚。”

同学们，月考已经结束一周了，相信很多的同学考出了自己理想的成绩，但也有些同学的成绩不尽如意，其中很重要的一个原因是部分同学没有明确的学习目标，认为学习就是为了取得高的分数，却没有更高的理想和追求。同学们，让我们从现在开始，成为一个有理想的人，一个为了理想而不断追求卓越的人！最后祝愿各位同学在求知的道路上顺心如意，在期中考试中大放异彩！

谢谢大家，我们的演讲到此结束！

Setting ideals and pursuing excellence

Dear teachers and schoolmates,good morning!

Today our topic is Setting ideals and pursuing excellence.

The famous thinker Aristotle['æristɔtl] once said The happiest thing in the world is to strive for the ideal. So if a person wants to be excellent, he should set himself a goal. Mr. Xu Teli also said that a person with a high objective will feel happy even if he meets with lots of difficulties. Premier Zhou was determined to study for the rise of China when he was young. As a result, he became the first premier of New China , an excellent premier who was always thinking about his country and his people !

  An ideal is a lamp, light it ,and you will know the direction ; An ideal is a door, open it ,and hope is around the corner;An ideal is a road,keep going and you will reach the destination.But it isn’t enough only to set goals. To achieve your dream and pursue excellence, you need to have quick action , persistent determination and strong will.

 Si Maqian decided to write an influential book on history at a very young age. However,in the seventh year of his writing, he was put in prison just because the emperor got annoyed with him about his defending for his good friend Li Ling. In the prison, he suffered lots of cruel punishment and was going to kill himself. On thinking about his unfinished books, he cheered up again and spent 18 years completing his great works Historical Records, which is highly thought of by many people. The great writer Lu Xun once praised it as “the singing of the historian, the singing of no rhyme”.

Dear schoolmates, it’s more than a week since last monthly exam ended and I am sure that some of us got satisfactory results while others didn’t, mainly because some students didn’t set goals and ideals,only thinking that the purpose of study is to get high marks.Dear schoolmates, let’s become a person with great ideals , a person always pursuing excellence on the way to success! At last wish you everything goes well on the journey of study and good luck in the coming Mid-term Examination!

That’s all,thank you!
