How well are we in tune with the rhythm of life? in our busy day to day existence, we don't often stop to ask ourselves this question.
at least i don't.
and it wasn't until i joined a competitive sporting event that i learned a most important lesson – we must place our mind in harmony with the natural order of things to be successful.
Let me tell you what happened.
I decided to take part in an international marathon in my hometown last year.
being an ambitious person, i hoped to finish it within 5 hours, accompanied by my friend with whom i had trained.
The big day finally arrived.
“ready…set…bang” and we were off.
At first, we kept a rapid pace and ran nonstop.
at this pace, we finished the first 20 kilometers in 2 hours and i thought running a marathon was a piece of cake.
then my running mate began to slow down.
i urged him to keep running at the same pace but he said no, he wanted to conserve his energy.
i felt i had partnered with the wrong person, therefore, i sprinted on and left him behind in the dust.
A few kilometers later, i began to understand his strategy as my pace slowed to a jog then a walk.
after that i was incapable of moving another step.
i was humiliated as more and more people ran passed me.”
more than once i thought “maybe i should quit.
i started to doubt my ability to finish this race.
At this moment, my running mate caught up with me and slapped me on the back.
“follow me,” he shouted.
he had balanced his marathon pace and was encouraged me to do the same.
for the rest of this grueling contest, we walked, jogged, ran a few miles, and walked again.
slowly, painfully but hopefully this time, we established the most suitable pace within the natural flow of our physical capabilities.
Eventually we accomplished our first marathon of 42 kilometers in 4 and half hours.
i asked myself, what did this marathon mean to me? my marathon experience became an influential metaphor for my life about how we must learn to pace ourselves in everything, by being in tune with the rhythm of life.
Like the tide that ebbs and flows, we must listen to advice but make our own decisions.
like the show at dawn and dusk, we must learn to balance pride and modesty.
and from the way the wind can both shout and whisper, we must learn when to be strong and when to be gentle, for everything moves in its own rhythm and its own yin and yang elements.
it is the interaction of these complementary extremes that produces harmony, as laozi said, extremes meet.
since the marathon, this notion of two opposite forces working together has been my running partner, so to speak.
yin and yang exist everywhere, constantly interacting, and never existing in an absolute condition.
Ladies and gentlemen, life is like running a marathon, let us discover, define and develop a natural rhythm of life, in order to achieve both harmony and success.
Thank you for listening.

Good morning,ladies and gentlemen,today i am so happy to stand here to give you a speech.
Or rather, a real story of mine.
Though with time going by,i can still remember what you once told me.
You should be a brave girl.
Smiling,you looked into my eyes.
Year in,year out,nearly most of my memories are fading little by little.
But only this simple sentence remained,without being forgotten in my life.
Again and again,i can not stop myself from thinking about it.
So ordinary,but so impressive,so moving,just like the brightest sunshine,it helps me go through the darkest night.
I am such a sensitive girl in your heart.
You said,my sorroful facial expression made feel so distersssed.
However,there is one thing i never tell you,that is ,i am becoming a big girl gradually with your words and smiles.
I never tell you about it,for i believe oneday,you can see the great changes of mine for yourself.
That is what i want to do in return.
As i know,that will be the best gift for you.
I suddenly think of a song named MY HEART WILL GO ON.
There is a beautiful sentence going like this.
You are safe in my heart.
More than once,i was moved to tears by it.
I know ,i am also safe in your heart.
i have already forgotten when i told you i was going to leave for Australia this summer holiday.
You just smiled as usual,gently speaking.
Whatever you decide to do,i will be in favor of it,but, just onething,remember,when you fell lonely abroad,do not forget we are here ,praying for you.
We are all around you,far across the distance and space between us.
i closed my eyes,the flashback started.
The memories we had together,once we played games on the palyground,we played jokes on each other,you always wrote a lot of sentences on my articles to encourage me.
And the most unforgetable thing,you told me,you believed m i could be a big girl.
Sooner or later.
At that specific moment,i suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence totally.
So on that day,i smiled as you used to,looking at you.
The last words i said were,keep walking in sunshine.
Yes,keep walking in sunshine.
I said to you ,also to myself.
I know i am not alone wiht your company,and we can keep walking in sunshine till the last minute of our days.
I promise,i will be a big girl.
I promise,i will be a brave girl.
I promise,i will keep walking in sunshine.
That is my speech,thank you!

Good afternoon ，ladies and gentlemen!
I’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! my topic is Opportunities and Challenges.
First, I would like to know, what does your destiny offer you? Happiness, wisdom, a strong body or something else.
If I had asked this question to president Nixon, he would probably had said,”Our destiny offers not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity.”
Needless to say, one of the biggest opportunities given to China is the 2008 Olympic Games.
Till now, we have used two sevenths of the preparation time.
How much changes have you seen? New roads, new subway lines, public-exercising equipments with beautiful colors, large blocks of grass fields, and also lots of modern gyms which are under construction.
Other than those, there are even more good effects brought to us by the Olympic Games that cannot be seen directly.
For example, more and more people will get to know China.
I’m sure the mysterious Chinese culture will attract them strongly.
And the games will also do good to the economy and environment, for it is gaining the attention of foreign investors and the awareness of environmental protection is being strengthened.
What is more, Olympic Games give a unique opportunity to inspire and educate a new generation of Chinese youth with the Olympic values and the Olympic spirit.
Now that we have seen so many advances, could you even imagine us losing the holding rights?
I’ve already said a lot about the Olympics and China.
But I think everyone should use some time to think of this question, ”Does the Olympic Games have any special meaning to you?”
For us, I mean the Chinese youth, 20** Olympic Games is a tremendous gift.
Because what we are waiting for is to do something significant as repaying the love given to us .
The society is just like a ship, and in our dreams the captain is waving his hand and saying ”Hey! Come here and take the helm! ”How charming his voice is, but we have never heard of it in our true life.
This morning, however, when we wake up, we will see the Olympic Games waving its hand.
After chewing, most of us will have at least one plan about what to do for the Olympic Games.
And mine is to be a “comforter” ----that is someone who will give comfort to others.
At the end of my speech, I hope all the preparation will go well, and everyone will show their ability to the world.
Let us seize opportunities and give a big smile to challenges.
