【国旗下演讲】 树立理想，追求卓越

2018届6班  班主任：刘合

尊敬的老师，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。

    理想是什么？托尔斯泰说，理想是指路灯，没有理想就没有追求的方向，没有方向就迷失了自我。德莱特说，理想是人生的太阳。

   作为学生的我们，也应切合实际的梳理自己的理想，并不断追求卓越。每天逼着自己跑快一秒，攻破一道难题，背会几个单词，在长久以后，这些小目标便会助你走向卓越。

   你可能会问，为什么要追求卓越？因为青年，你是国家和民族的曙光。个人的卓越纵然只是绵薄之力，但只要我们都奉献一份卓越，全国的13亿多份卓越足以让中国屹立于世界顶峰。所以，从小事做起，挤出20多分钟的书香时间，睡前再过一遍今天的学习内容，相信自己质的飞跃。

    没有冲出乌云，追逐灿烂阳光的动力，海燕何以披风破浪?没有破土而出，茁壮成长的坚定信念，小小树苗何以拔地而起，迎接清晨的第一缕霞光？漫漫人生，唯有中流击水，方能浪遏飞舟！让我们从现在开始，为自己设立更高的人生目标，树立崇高理想，追求人生卓越。

    Good morning everyone, today our topic is “The build-up of ideals and pursuit of excellence”.

   What is an ideal? Tolstoy said “Ideal is the beacon. Without ideal, there is no secure direction ; without direction, there is no life.” Dreiser said ideal is the sun of life.

   As students, we should also build up our ideals practically and pursue excellence constantly. For each day, try our best to run a second faster, to solve a difficult problem more efficiently and to recite a bit more words. We will benefit from the achievement of these small daily goals and pursue excellence.

    You may ask why we must be excellent? Well, this is because we are the youth, and we are the hope of our country. Although an individual excellence may not make a difference, the excellence of 1300 billion people will definitely make China stand out in the world. Therefore, let’s start small, finding 20 minutes for reading or reviewing what we’ve learned at bedtime. Do believe you will make a difference.

Without the motivation of streaking through the clouds to chase after the sun, how can a petrel survive on the sea? Without the faith of growing out of the ground, how can a sapling turn into a towering tree? In the journey of life, only by working hard can we overcome the difficulty and see the beauty of excellence. Dear fellows, let’s get started now. Set up better goals for ourselves to build up our ideals and pursue excellence!

   Thank you for your listening.
