what we can't afford to lose

what we cannot afford to lose :我们不能失去主题词：亲情，友情，爱情，自尊，人格，希望，勇气，信念，坚持，健康。

在每个人的心中都有一些难以忘怀的事，这些事曾经在某一瞬间让我们明白什么才是我们最珍贵的。

在我的心灵深处，也同样珍藏着一些事以及一些感悟。

记得在我很小的时候，我的体质非常的不好，常常需要打针，吃药。

那时最让我羡慕的便是我的同龄人能够自由自在，无所顾忌的去玩耍。

后来长大了，渐渐地看见曾经疼我的姥姥开始生病，每一次陪她去医院打针都会让我的内心起伏不停，心疼不已。

为此，我常常祈祷上天，希望它能够让每一个我爱和爱我的人拥有一个健康的体魄，用快活的心活出生命赋予我们最美的年华。

也正因如此，我对亲情的理解更加深刻：它是我们每个人都不可或缺的事，也是我们所拥有的最美丽的礼物之一。

因为亲情，我们渐渐地去懂得感恩、去体会他人的内心世界，去安静的面对一些是是非非。

也正因为亲情赋予我们的这些，我们才能用心去聆听他人的话语，收获真挚的友谊和无悔的青春。

现在，我们大多都已远离父母家人，在属于我们自己的圈子中过着我们自己的生活。

很少有人会愿意静下心来与家人沟通。

甚至很少认真思考家中的一个电话饱含着多少母亲的思念和父亲的等待。

如果有人问我生命中最珍贵的是什么，我想我的身心已与亲情融为一体。

亲情，这是一个普通但却沉重的话题，一个我们不能失去的珍宝。

谢谢大家！In every human heart there are some unforgettable things. These things in a short moment may made us realized that what is most precious to us. Deep down inside of me, also treasure some of the things as well as some insights. I remember when I was very young, but I was quite weak, so I often need injections, medication. I’m so jealous most of my peers could free to go play outside. When grew older, I saw my grandmother became sick, every time to accompany her to the hospital, every time I saw her having injections would let me feel down and kept my heart, distressed. So, I always pray to God, I hope it could allows everyone I love and who love me to have a healthy body and we should live vivaciously for the beautiful time that life gives us. Also, because of this, my understanding of the family is more profound: it is absolutely a necessary thing that each of us cannot afford to lose, it’s the most beautiful gift in the world. Because of the family, we gradually understand how to be grateful, we try more to know the inner world of others and we become more quiet in the face of the right and wrong in our life. And, for all the things that family given to us, we can carefully listen to the words of others, and harvest sincere friendship and youth without regret.Now, most of us have been away from our parents and family, to live our own lives in our own circles. Few people would be willing to stop and to communicate with their families. Even rarely seriously consider a phone call from home has how many mothers’ love and fathers’ wait. If someone asked me what the most precious thing in my life is, the answer must be family. Family, a common but serious topic, is a treasure that we cannot afford to lose. Thank you!。

What we can’t afford to lose_____the bravery to fight against fearBY Claire Huang Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It’s a great honor for me to stand here. I want to start my speech with the story of a little boy. Many years ago, this is how all boring stories begin, a little boy named Bruce Wayne fell into a deep ,abandoned well where he encountered numerous ugly bats which are as black as the darkest night he’d ever seen. Bats had become the greatest fear in his mind especially after his loving parents were murdered on another horrible night. Yes, fear. This is what I attempt to talk about today. The first time I saw the question what we can’t afford to lose , I heard a voice inside of me answering: what we can’t afford to lose is the bravery to fight against fear, because fears are rooted in every one’s life, even for an innocent boy. In my speech, I’m going to emphasize three points, explaining specifically what the bravery to fight against fear is.Having the bravery to fight against fear firstly means we should embrace fears rather than evade them. In a film called front of the class, there is a man who had Tourette's disorder-a congenital disease and he made strange noises uncontrollably because of the disease. It caused so many disappointments and frustrations on his way to become a teacher. He was so scared, scared to be mocked, scaredto fail again, scared by the disease itself, until one day his stepmother told him: Honey, you are struggling so hard to conquer it, why you don’t just befriend it? At that moment, he was hit by the epiphany that to conquer fear one has to live with it instead of eliminating or ignoring it, because fear is part of our human nature. Having the bravery to fight against fear at its second level implies that we should transform fears into power. Fears can be the source of our energy. Jim Cassidy, an excellent athlete has said: if one day, I didn’t feel nervous before games, then I would know in my heart the fire for success had vanished.Nick Vujicic, the author of life without limits and an encouraging, world-famous public speaker, set an extraordinary example for people. Nick was born without limbs. Although his parents have always been supportive and taken good care of him, he couldn’t resist the sense of fear. He was afraid that when he grew up, he would lose his dignity by counting on others’ sympathy and patience. Then he decided to be self-reliant and get rid of others’ help gradually. He used his fear to recapture himself and finally led a ridiculously good life. So, when fear hits you hard in the face, knocks you down to the ground and devastates you , just pick yourself up and get power from the excruciating fear!Having the bravery to fight against fear also means having sympathy for people and always being willing to give our hands to people who livein terrors. We can’t devastate fears ourselves, if we don’t practice compassion with people. I know people who successfully recovered from terrible depression. They fully understand how it feels when the growing sense of fear pervades in your world and have realized that without others’ kindness and compassion, they would n’t plod through fears and recover from depression. It’s not strange that helping others has become one of their life missions. When you have fears or have struggled in fears, just step out of your silence and try to have connections to people who feel the same.I want to conclude my speech by finishing the story of Bruce Wayne. Decades ago, When Bruce Wayne grew up, he audaciously embraced his fear, became a knight who used bats as his symbol and rescued the city he loved from darkness and fears. Yes, it’s the story of Batman, it’s the story about the audacity to fight against fear and most importantly every one of us could be the batman in our own life, when we never lose our bravery to fight against fear.Thank you for listening.。

英文演讲稿WhatwecannotaffordtoloseWhat We cannot Afford to Lose— Live in Hope Good afternoon, honorable judges and dear audience, it's my great honor to stand here and deliver you a speech. Today I’m standing here to call your attention to one of the most valuable elements that we cannot afford to lose in our life------Hope.Without controversy, in our entire life, money, family, time, youth, etc(and so forth) are all indispensable ingredients which mean a great deal to every one of us. However, ladies and gentlemen, to my mind, hope surpasses all the others. For if we lose hope, the color of our world will fade into black and white, and our life will become a pointless existence.For example, Steve Jobs bore the harshness of sleeping on the floor in his friend's dorm after he quit Reed College only because the hope that he would succeed one day sustained(支撑) him.Hope is a powerful engine to propel 推动our life in a positive direction. Hope is a stimulant (兴奋剂)['st?mj?l?nt]to vitalize(使有生气) us even if we lose heart in frustration. Hope is a mystery that enables us to endure(忍耐) all the sufferings along our path to success .Countless times, Helen Keller repressed(压抑) her cry towards the unfairness of life and managed to overcome all the reversals(逆转)just because she always held a strong hope to see, to hear, and to speak.Suppose there is only a vague[veg](含糊的) hope in Stephen Hawing's heart, how could he have accomplished his great work, the Brief History of Time, making himself one of the mostdistinguished scientists and professors? Without hope, we will indulge(放纵) ourselves in the endless desperation when we encounter some difficulties. Can you imagine how we will suffer from such a empty and meaningless life? No doubt, hope is definitely what we cannot and should not afford to lose for a better tomorrow.Like I said, hope is not the closing of your eyes to the difficulties, the risk,or the failure.It is a trust that —if I fail now —I shall not fail forever; It is a trust that life is good,love is powerful,and the future is full of promise.So my dear friends, please cherish and bury hope deep in our heart!Thanks for your attention!。

What We Cannot Afford to Lose古有廉者不受嗟来之食，古有天文祥为节而死，在近代为了新中国，宁死不屈的仁人志士也不少见。

可是在今天，人们却越来越贪婪无度，盲目追求物质，失去了原则和底线。

如郭美美之炫富门事件，再如企业生产的假酒、毒牛奶，无一不是自私自利的行为，更不要说那些贪官污吏了。

我们不禁要问，这个社会怎么了，为什么文明驱逐了野蛮，自身从内部开始腐烂。

为什么人心如此之浮躁，甚至失去了做人的基本良知？中国有句古话，人之初性本善，我们相信每个人的本心都驻着一位善良的天使，可是社会的污浊遮蔽了人的本心，花花绿绿的世界从不同的角度影响着一代又一代走马观花不知所措的孩子。

这个世界缺失的是良知和原则。

也许中国的许多问题是经济发展过程中不可避免的，可是我们一定要防微杜渐，居安思危，我呼吁我们每一个人都擦亮自己的眼睛，有自己的判断能力，不要被繁杂种种所蒙蔽。

我们还要用合适的方式去爱我们的年轻一代，不要溺爱他们。

但最最重要的是以身作则，也许你以为自己坚持良知和原则并不能改变什么，可是我们相信，世人皆有向善之心，你可以影响你周围的人，你周围的人又会影响更多的人，这样我们的社会就会向好的方向发展。

所以，请做一个有原则的人。

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.There is an old saying in China, a man with moral integrity will not accept food given in charity. It is about an story in ancient times when the wars brought everything in chaos and numerous people in starvation. A rich man wanted to help the poor, so he shared food with them. One day he saw a man in the street, starving to death, so he yelled at him, hey, you,come and eat! The poor man stared at him back, and said, I would rather die in dignity.As far as I am concerned, this poor man is someone with principles. Among the long history, a number of people sacrificed themselves for what they believed in, such as Qu Yuan, Wen Tianxiang in ancient times and Dong Cunrui, Liu Hulan not too many years ago. They have principles,too. Principles tell right from wrong, and guide people’s decisions and behaviors. (A man with principles is someone that can be trusted. )However, nowadays it seems that less people follow their principles, some even don’t have principles or basic conscience. A year ago, a beautiful 20-year-old girl, Guo Meimei, showed off her expensive bags, clothes and car on her microblog, which arouse huge heated outcry. Another girl claimed that she would rather cry in a BMW rather than smile on a bicycle. Some businessmen lost integrity, too, they produce fake or inferior commodities to achieve larger profits, even at the risk of the consumers’ health.So we have to ask, what’s wrong with these people, what’s wrong with the whole society? Modernizing replaced the savage, but gets rotten itself. Are we really civilized, spiritually? Why are people so greedy, so selfish, so eager to pursuit something they don’t really need? An old saying goes, human nature is kind at the beginning of life. I believe that there is always an angel in the bottom of everyone’s heart. However it is so fragile that can be easily influenced by the outside world, especially in such an age with advanced media tools. Massive information, good or bad, poured into our eyes and ears, formulating complex and confused brains. (Imagine when the young teenagers have access to all the information in the world, what will they be like when they grow up? I don’t have an answer.)What we cannot afford to lose is conscience and principles. I appeal that we have our own judgments and opinions, so that we are clear in mind and will be less polluted. Follow your principles and stick to your rules, so that you win trust and gain respects. Teach your kids to have their own minds, love them in proper manner, instead of spoiling them.A man with principles is mighty, life with principles is full of meaning. So find your principles and stick to them. thank you!。

We cannot afford to lose the courage to try againGood evening ,my dear judges. Today my topic is we cannot afford to lose the courage to try again. To be honest, when the topic came to me ,it just drove me crazy . I confess I’m a greedy person .There are many things I cherish,I cannot afford to lose. Until last weekend , I watched the movie 《The Shawshank Redemption》again，and some scenes impressed me .Andy wrote to the state senate and requested funds for building a library from them .He wrote many times ,but got no answers. He said nothing but continued to write letters to them ,a letter a week. It took him six years that the state government finally allocated the enclosed funds for his library project. It remind me of my experience as a salesman when I was a freshman. My roommate and I found a part-time job as a salesman. At the beginning , we were both excited and promoting our product to passerby passionately. However, in the next few hours, we got no customers. Many passerby refused directly or just ignored us. When I saw this scene , I felt disappointed and my pride was deeply hurt. I wanted to give up ,but my roommate asked me to try one more time , if we failed, then we gave up. I agreed. This time ,we met a friendly man ,and we made our first deal. I will never forget this experience. It made me understand how important to keep the courage to try again when you failed . There is no so-called failure in the world unless you stop trying.The road of life is not smooth all the time .Difficulties and setbacks are unavoidable. Many people never dare to try after they failed, so they will never know success exists next time . As a student , an ambitious person , what we cannot afford to lose the courage to try again. Finally , I want to quote from a player to end my speech “ Let me win , but if I cannot win , let me be brave in the attempt“.。

What we can’t afford to lose?There are a lot of things in the world that we can’t afford to lose, such as our health, family, believes, ideas and so on. However, I think the most important one is peace.Generally speaking, war is repugnant while peace is welcome. Do people have an innate taste for war? Or is it just an acquired scheme learned from human society? Human beings pursue peace and prosperity through the establishment of a family, communities and nations. Why should we let all of these be destroyed by wars? Actually all wars are civil wars, because men are brothers and we are a family. In peace sons bury their fathers, but in war fathers bury their sons. If we don’t end war, war will end us. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said that the real and lasting victories are those of peace, and not of war.It is well-known that peace and development are the themes of our time, but peace is not a simple issue. Peace is the pursuit of the enduring mankind. Peace means a chance of survival. Everyone wants to live in a peaceful world, one without wars, exploitation and oppression. People can only be normal in a state of peace conducive to the survival, development and constructive activities. Some people have made plenty of contributions to peace, even sacrifices.As Thich Nhat Hanh puts it, if we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entiresociety, will benefit from our peace. Peace is always beautiful. Even one war is too many. So we can’t afford to lose peace.That’s all. Thank you!。

What we can not afford to loseHere are many things in the world that we can not afford to lose,such as our life,our love,our health,our youth and so on,whereas,the most obvious is our youth.As is known to all that we have one life,and the life is very short,however,there being one thing important in our life is youth.Youth for everyone in life is the most precious period. In this period, we have spent the same time, abundant energy and agile mind. Youth is a person to say goodbye to childish maturity period: we came from boyhood, through the transition of adolescence to maturity. Youth for every one person is a somewhat as period, in this period we will be for the future life lay a solid foundation. Youth is so precious and important, so every one of us should cherish youth, take control of your own youth.Consequently we can't afford to lose our youth.In our youthful year,we have dreams,we have ambitions,and we endeavor ourselves to turn them into reality.In the proceedings of realizing them,we have ever cried,we have ever laughed,with the bittersweet of our life.It's a good recalls of our life while we come to be adults gradually.In our youthful year,we have emotions,we have feelings,and we pay our real love to others.We are fond of a person,we fall in secret love with ones,we spend a better life with others on our campus experiencing the period and the beauty.In the proceedings of paying,we quarreled,we loved.With the beauty of life,we transit from adolescence to adulthood unconsciously.It's a better memories of our gold life when we become elder.In our youthful year,we have paid,we have returned.When we help a person who suffers difficulties,what we return is appreciation of their inner ;When we care about children who are far away from their parents,what we return is warmth of their heart;When we look after an elder person,what we return is passion of their their heart;When we.......Youth,it's sunlight in our life,it's the most irradiant period,it's the most unforgettable time.Nothing can replace youth in our life.If we lose youth,our life must be boring,must be suffering an eclipse,our lives must be have no energy and breath.because of the beauty of youth,we can not afford to lose ouryouth,however,youth,we are worthwhile holding!。

What We Cannot Afford to LoseIt is a much commonplace that no one can get something without losing anything, which is so we must break eggs when we want to make omelet. However, there is something that we can not afford to lose, from my personal perspective, the confidence is one of the most significant elements that we must keep in our heart all the time.Nowadays the confidence has decreased rapidly among people, especially for college students. As you know, the plagiarism has become an increasingly serious problem on campus. many students hand in papers and essay as their own work, while in fact is that part of all it is another person’s words or even ideas. Some one is likely to attribute this behavior to their lazy or the intelligent problem, but I would like to say it’s the lack of confidence that causes the bad influence on students, even leads to a series of side affections .If we can believe in ourselves’endeavor, considering our hard-working must be useful to us, would you want to cheat others in exam? If we cantrust in our capacity, thinking we are one of the greatest persons, would you like to copy other’s papers? If we have enough confidence in ourselves, regarding we are as good as others, would you eager to follow by others step not to chase beyond them? Apparently, the answer is no. Nobody likes to say, “I am a fool or mentally handicapped man.I’m the person who can’t catch up with my classmates.” Are you the man?Draw a conclusion, fundamentally, it is the shortage of confidence that makes the above all phenomena to spread widely in school.So I give this speech to all the people who like me, to encourage us to pursue the confidence as our best. We can afford to lose many things, such as the money we can make again or more in the future and so on. But what we cannot afford to lose is the confidence, which is the dispensable factor to our future successful career and life, even if the characteristics. only the confident person is the most beautiful people. I believe it deeply.。

Whatwecannotaffordtolose演讲稿尊敬的评委、亲爱的同学们：大家好！我今天演讲的题目是《何可失之不得》。

我们每个人的生命都是有限的，我们不能够永远存在于这个世界上。

然而，在这短暂的一生中，我们会经历许多风风雨雨，经历许多喜怒哀乐。

有些东西，我们可以失去它们，而不会对我们的生活产生太多影响；有些东西，我们可以失去它们，但我们依然可以继续前进；而有些东西，我们绝对不能够失去，因为它们是我们生活中不可或缺的。

首先，我们不能够失去的是健康。

健康是我们一切的基础，是我们追求梦想的前提。

没有健康，我们将无法去经历这个世界，无法去追寻自己的梦想。

因此，我们应该珍惜自己的健康，保持良好的生活习惯，勤加锻炼，远离疾病。

只有拥有了健康，我们才能够更好地去追求其他的东西。

其次，我们不能够失去的是家人和朋友。

家人和朋友是我们人生旅途中最重要的伴侣和支持者。

他们给予我们爱和鼓励，帮助我们度过困难的时刻。

无论是在喜悦还是悲伤的时刻，他们都会陪伴在我们身边。

没有家人和朋友的陪伴，我们的生活将变得孤独而无趣。

因此，我们要时刻珍惜和家人朋友在一起的时光，用心对待他们，彼此关心、支持、理解，营造一个温馨和谐的家庭和朋友圈。

再次，我们不能够失去的是时间。

时间是世界上最宝贵的资源，是一去不复返的。

每一个时刻的流逝都意味着我们离自己的梦想又远了一点。

因此，我们要合理安排自己的时间，充实每一天，努力学习和提升自己。

我们要珍惜青春年华，不要浪费时间在琐碎的事情上，而是要追求自己的理想，为自己的人生增添更多的意义。

最后，我们不能够失去的是希望和梦想。

希望和梦想是我们前进的动力和目标。

有了希望和梦想，我们才能够勇往直前，克服各种困难和挑战。

即使生活给予我们的是一次又一次的打击和挫折，我们也不能丧失希望。

我们要相信，只要坚持不懈，我们的梦想一定会实现，我们的人生一定会变得更加美好。

亲爱的同学们，让我们珍惜和我们生活中不可或缺的东西，不论是健康、家人和朋友、时间，还是希望和梦想。
