13、n can contribute to society and should be guaranteed the right to do so. women hold up half the sky. 我喜爱照镜子。记 得很小的时候，我常常踮着脚尖在跟我差不多高的梳妆台前，想要看到镜子里自己的小脸。现在，我依然喜爱照镜子，只不过那张旧梳妆台已变得太矮了。弯下腰去 照镜子时，我看到的已是一个年轻、散发着成熟光彩的姑娘，一个对未来充满自信的姑娘，一个对镜中的身影依然那般着迷的姑娘。 爱照镜子的这个癖 好始于我和奶奶共同度过的童年时光。我清楚地记得一天夜里，听见奶奶低声自语：女人啊，别人怎么就看不见
14、你，怎么就看不见你呢？我对此感到十分困惑，第二 天一早就跑到镜子面前要检验一下是否镜子照得见自己。直到现在长大成人后我才明白，奶奶所看不见的并不是镜子里的形象。 奶奶为了照顾一大家 人，起早贪黑，忙碌操持了一辈子。她每天为丈夫和十个子女生火做饭，每到家里来了客人，她却只能和家中所有女性成员一起挤在狭小的厨房里的灶前吃饭。家里 讨论家事，奶奶从没有过问的权利。爷爷去世之后，她只得听从新的一家之主我的大伯，也就是她的长子。经历了一生的艰辛，奶奶尽到了作为女儿、妻子和母 亲的全部责任，但作为一个人，她却很少被别人关注过。尽管她能够在梳妆台的镜子中看到自己的模样，在家庭和社会中她却总是一个隐形人。 我
15、过的 是与奶奶截然不同的生活。在家里，我与家人一同商定家庭事务。在学校里，我和其他同学一样经常组织各种活动。不仅如此，我做了奶奶做梦也想不到的事情：为 自己的未来做出选择。我的生活就是一连串自我抉择的结果。高中毕业时，我可以从众多大学中挑选一所。在大学里，我可以从一系列专业中挑选自己最喜爱的专业 从英国文学到商法。现在毕业将至，我又一次面对选择：或继续深造，或开始工作；或留在国内，或走出国门；或很快成家，或暂时单身。 不论成名富有还是默默无闻，我都会珍惜发挥自己潜质的机会。不仅如此，我更要帮助其他妇女珍惜发挥才智的机会，因为她们也是社会的全权成员。我十分珍惜这一点，因为我所享有的广阔的选择余地
16、是我的奶奶、我的妈妈，乃至千千万万个中国妇女几十年艰苦奋斗的结果。 然而，我和我们这一代人将要做出的并非是轻而易举的选择。重男轻女的偏见仍然主导着许多人的思想。当男人被鼓励着去竞争，去为自己的权力奋斗时，却要我 们女人保持沉默，坚守贞操，一味服从。这与只要我们当个贤妻良母又有什么不同？我们所面临的挑战正激励我们为更高的个人素质和更强的自立能力而奋斗。 我奶奶和我的故事折射出千百万中国乃至全世界妇女的生活。她们中仍有不少人正走着我奶奶曾经走过的道路，她们的价值还没有被认识到。努力工作，不懈奋斗，让世界的妇女都在镜子中看到自己，得到别人的承认，这正是每一个像我这样的青年所肩负的使命。 这是我的梦想
17、。我相信，这个梦想不仅曾是我们的奶奶、母亲和姐妹们所有过的，也是我们的父亲、兄弟、丈夫和男同事们所拥有的梦想。 妇女能够为社会做出贡献。她们的这种权利应该得到保障。当每一个人都充分认识到这一点时，我的梦想就会实现。 妇女能顶半边天。 敬的领导、老师、亲爱的同学们： 大家好！ 当代的青少年有理想，有热情，他们向社会寻求理解和信任，渴望施展自己的才华。然而在这变革和迅猛发展的时代，真正在探索中获得成功的青年，毕竟是少数的。为什么许多青年还在理想与现实的十字路口上失意徘徊，落伍为生活的弱者？一个很重要的原因是不能正确地认识礼仪与形象的重要。 浑圆瑰丽的梦想，固然充满了鲜活的诱惑，但创造精彩的过程，更
18、会滋养你不屈不挠的创造情怀。一个商人靠着自己坚韧的毅力而取得的成就，他的成功与礼仪、形象紧紧地融合在一起，构成了人生最幸福最壮美最起伏跌宕的动人乐章。 在座的各位同学，你们是否还记得俄国伟大的文学家、哲学家赫尔岑曾经说过：“生活中最重要的是有礼仪，它比最高智慧比一切学识都重要。”正确认识形象的重要是获得成功的基石，想想那些事业上的成功者，哪个没有自己的“光辉形象”？世界球王贝利，开始踢球时，有一次上台自我介绍，由于衣服穿戴搭配不得体，人家骂他“黑货色搞不出什么名堂，连最基本的形象也处理不好”，这句话给了他很大打击。但他毫不气馁，一边刻苦训练，一边美化自己的形象，即使走在街上看到镜子也要把衣装整
19、理一番。功夫不负有心人，他终于成了驰骋五大洲的世界超级球星，成为人们崇拜的足球英雄。可见礼仪和形象是成功不可缺少的条件，是通向成功的阶梯。 同学们，激烈的社会竞争不允许我们停留于顾影自怜之中，让我们“学好礼仪，美化形象”，努力用双臂构建自己的人生大厦。 迎奥运小学生演讲稿-行动起来，为北京添彩 2008，一个再普通不过的数字，但是，一提到它，会让多少中国人热血沸腾！一个数字怎么会有如此大的魔力？答案是简单而神圣的，在这一年里，北京将举办第29届奥林匹克运动会，那时，世界的目光将齐聚北京，而北京，也将以主人的身份，展现她最美丽的风采！ 2008
20、，北京的奥运将是一届绿色的奥运、科技的奥运、人文的奥运。其中，”绿色奥运”是三个最重要的理念之一。 这充分表现出我们要办好一届环保奥运的决心和信心！然而，要实现这一目标，我们要走的路还十分艰辛。 我想，作为一名北京的中（小）学生，我们更有责任，也更有义务积极地投入到环保行动中。我们的一举手，一投足，都会给首都的市容环境带来影响。因此，我们要从我做起，从身边做起，从小事做起，努力为北京争光添彩。那么，怎样才能从小事做起呢？ 其实生活中我们能做得也有很多。近年来沙尘暴肆虐北京，大家一定都有体会。过度放牧和采伐森林使土地沙漠化，虽然我们
21、无力使所有退化土地重新成为绿洲， 但至少我们可以在我们的学校植树，在我们的小区植树，如果人人都能行动起来，北京将成为绿色的北京，2008将成为绿色的奥运。 不知道同学们有没有这样的经历，自己由于懒惰不肯走路上学，于是天天让父母用汽车接送。可是现在北京汽车尾气已经严重污染了大气，难道我们应该视而不见吗？所以，停掉你家的汽车，蹬上自行车，让我们享受运动的快乐吧！ 仔细想想，我们能为北京2008做的，还远远不止这些，我们虽然不能像一些科学家那样研究不污染的清洁能源，或是污水处理系统，也不能去制止所有工厂停止使用危险化学品或向天空排放废气，但我们可以节约每一滴水，保护每一片绿地，为环保尽一份微薄的力量。让2008年的北京，不论是在二环还是五环，都能看到湛蓝的天空和茵茵绿草。 谢谢大家！ 9 / 10
