20**财富演讲稿 (四篇)
the word wealth always reminds people of money and the sayings or concepts related to money. for example, “money talks”; “money makes the ghosts turn the mill”; “as birds die for food, so men die for wealth”; “the poor have no friends even though they live in the noisy downtown, while the rich have remote kinsfolk even if they live in the deep mountains”; “poverty chills ambition” “one cent short may put a hero in an awkward situation” etc, etc..
in the 980’ s, all shops were state-owned with marked prices. you couldn’t buy what you wanted with even one cent short, so one cent could indeed embarrass a hero. a popular song at that time started “i picked up one cent at the roadside, and i handed it over to the policeman…” but now no one cares to pick it up even if it were ten cents.
people’s reverence for money is expressed in varied ways. the names of companies or stores are often “beer of wealth and honor”, “restaurant of wealth and rank” “store of the aristocrats” “hotel of fame and prestige” etc. (even some people’s names have the meanings of “full of gold” or “great fortune”). at new year’s time, the god of wealth is worshiped and the picture of the god is covered with signs of money. when a millionaire is walking in the street, people will show their profound reect even though they know very well that they can not get a cent from him. the english film “the million-pound note” makes a most vivid revelation of this situation. with the million pound note in hand, the hero has the privilege to buy on credit, or on loan and is even presented money from others. it’s an idealized end of the story that the hero is still loved by his girl friend even after he lost his million-pound note. however, without the million-pound note, they couldn’t have known each other. it’s very difficult for people to make friends directly with beggars.
the song of “all good things must end” in a dream of the red mansions attacks the money worshipers by saying:
“all men long to be immortals
yet silver and gold they prize
and grub for money all their lives
till death seals up their eyes”
but when chen shih-yin tries to expound this song by analyzing the inconstancy of human relationships and the incomprehensible human heart, he has to say:
“while men with gold and silver by the chest
turn beggars, scorned by all and diossessed”
the conclusion is that it doesn’t work without money.
in ite of the human civilizations over thousands of years, people can not deny the function of money. this shows how important money is. money plays a decisive role to individuals, to families and even to countries or nationalities. otherwise, why is everyone, from doorkeepers to presidents, trying to earn as much as possible? why does every country need chancellors of the exchequer, who keep formulating and revising financial laws and regulations? how different it is to be a creditor nation and a debtor nation! the united states is playing the tyrant just because it is wealthy enough. a poor man may cherish lofty airations, but will probably be beaten because of his poverty. the afghanistan may have won a lot of sympathy, but how difficult it would be to live solely on charity.
of all ages and in every country, all kinds of corruption stem from money. no matter how rough the man is, and in what deicable way he earned the money, he can grease the palms of or buy over some very decent officials or even intellectuals. can you see how crucial a role money is playing? (a case in point is the bankrupt of the company)
some people or organizations like some religious groups claim that they have seen through the human vanity and can take money lightly, but to people’s puzzlement, they are also accumulating money, either to renovate the temples, or to regild buddha’s statues, in whatever pretexts. they are not engaged in production, so they can only depend on the donations from the devout believers. sometimes your sincerity relies on whether you donate and how much you donate. do the monks care about money? the answer is affirmative. what’s more, many monks are already provided with a salary.
we are living in a material world, and it’s really difficult to deny the function of money or wealth. we need money for food, clothes, education, hoital, housing and tranortation, etc. there’s rarely anything that doesn’t need money. what we can discuss now is not the importance of money, but whether money is almighty and whether more wealth can bring us more happiness.
we must say that money is not almighty, and there are many things which money can’t do. for example, many emperors like qin shihuang longed for elixirs. as wealthy as they were, and as mighty as they were to take every measure to search for long life medicine, they still could not avoid the sad denouement that “their graves are a covered with weeds”.
many great men suffered from fatal illness. even though they were treated with the best medical means, they had to suffer as much as the ordinary people, and met with the same inescapable fate. rich or poor, great or ordinary, we come and go with nothing belonging to us.
huang shiren, the cruel hearted landlord, was rich but xi’er would rather hid in the deep mountains and turn into a white-hired girl than marrying him;
wang baochuan wouldn’t give up her marriage with xue pinggui even though she had to live in the cold cave for over ten years;
emperor shunzhi of the qing dynasty owned the whole country, but just because of the death his beloved concubine, he eventually became disillusioned with this world and ent the rest of life in the temple as a monk (it’s all right even if it is a legend).
many love stories can never be bought with money. the ever-lasting folktale of liang shanbo and zhu yingtai shows people’s identification with this point of view.
wealthy men also have a lot of worries: afraid of being stolen or kidnapped, they may have to hire a bodyguard; they’re concerned about their oiling the children, or worry about the family discord because of the legacy diutes after their death; fearing devaluation if they don’t invest, while fearing of bankrupt if they invest; where is their happiness?
how much is enough? no limitation. as poor as beggars without a penny, they can make a living by begging. it’s said that some have become millionaires through begging. as wealthy as a billionair
生命是财富的基数——安全演讲稿
对于个人而言，再也没有比生命更重要的东西了。有了生命，才能学会生存的本领；学会了生存的本领，就影响着人们的生活方式和生活质量；生活的方式又直接决定着生命的价值。这三者是互为条件，相互依存的。
生命是宝贵的，是美好的，也是脆弱的。尤其是“独生子女”时代，生命对于一个家庭而言，是希望，是未来，是谱写幸福生活的音符。
生命，其实就是过程，是从诞生到消亡的生存过程。生命的意义，在于过程的质量，在于生存的价值，在于生活的品位。
生命对每个人来说并不是永恒的，生命中的每一时刻都在向死亡移动。 2年的雪灾和千年难遇的汶川5 . 2地震， 2年的猪流感，还有的旱灾和青海玉树的4. 4大地震。这一切的一切，对很多人来说，生命是一个会戛然而止的不确定状态，所以我们一定要抓住生命的每一瞬间，利用好生命中的每一天。
很多人一辈子忙忙碌碌，要说他不努力吧，他比谁都努力，起早贪黑，拼命工作，然而努力了半辈子，却没有看到他有什么结果，无论在经济上还是在时间上，他都没有获得什么成就，更谈不上对生活的享受和感悟，唯一能看见的只是他每日为生存而忙碌的身影，终于有一天，他发现了自己最大的悲哀---他自己只是为了生存而象牛一样活着。
仔细想想，人生真的是一场旅程。有的碌碌无为、无所事事、一事无成；有的是为了别人眼里的社会形象而活着，终其一生没有为自己的感受而活过；有的渡过的是放浪形骸（hai）、玩世不恭的一生；当然也有大彻大悟，视俗世、名利如粪土的大悟之人……
不论我们选择什么样的生活方式，我们都应该为自己的选择无怨无悔。记得有 这样一句话“生活比生存更广阔”。是的，我们的生活真的不应该仅仅只是为了生存，不论我们在什么样的生存状态，我们在谋求生存的同时，还应学会体味生活，学会感悟生命；学会欣赏人生旅途靓丽的风景，感受宇宙万物自然的奥秘；在春华秋实的四季交替中，体味这人生旅途中的百味变化。
生命、生存、生活的意义就是活着。
生命是根本，生存是桥梁，生活是目的，最后的责任是发展社会，繁荣祖国。
生命是生存和生活之根本；生存着才能使生命得以延续，才能继续生活；生活是为了生存，生存是为了生命的延续。所以，为了来之不易的生命，我们必须好好生活，使自己很好地生存下去。
生命是我们得以生存和活下去的基础，活着，真好！然而，人不可能永远活着，生命从它诞生的那一天就开始走向死亡，就开始与死亡做一生的搏斗。所以活着，真的不是一件容易的事。
我们这一代青少年，生在幸福里，长在红旗下，正处于人生的黄金时代。在这美好的环境里，我们更应该去珍惜时间、珍爱生命、学会生存、热爱生活和学习，在科学的道路上不断地探索、前进，为祖国未来的繁荣昌盛贡献出自己的力量！
高三励志演讲稿：磨难也是一种财富
亲爱的同学们：
大家好！今天我演讲的题目是“磨难也是一种财富”。
在高考中有位考生写过这样一段话：我曾经埋怨过，脚底发黄的布鞋，踏不出青春的活力，直到我发觉霍金转动的轮椅，嵌出深深的历史痕迹；我曾咒骂过，脸边黝黑的胎记，映不出美丽的脸庞，直到我看见全身黝黑的黑人，露出甜甜的美丽微笑……
也许你曾抱怨过上帝是捉弄人的，他对你吝啬幸福，却让痛苦折磨着你，日日夜夜，疲惫不堪，换来的只是滚烫的泪珠。但苦尽甘来后，当你揭开那沉重的幕纱，你会看清，上帝其实是公平的，磨难也是一种财富。
曾经有人做了这样一个试验。他点清了一座山林中的红羊后，把山中的狼全部捕捉起来，让红羊没有敌人。照理说，红羊应该是悠闲自得、快乐地生活了，但事与愿违，红羊为了争夺一小片土地、甚至一棵青草而搏斗，由原来一支整齐的队伍变为一盘散沙。
经过搏斗的红羊一只只疲惫不堪，过去那种矫健、奔跑如飞的红羊在这座山林中再未曾出现过，而且，红羊的数量也在逐渐减少。是什么原因呢？
因为人们捕获了狼，红羊没有了给它们造成生命威胁的动物，而自相残杀直至消亡，失去了危机。同时也失去了生机。可见，在生态环境中，没有磨难就不会有生态平衡的系统。
张海迪胸部以下失去知觉，但这些困难没有打倒她，反而使她有了更为远大的目标，学习掌握了德语、日语、英语。她为什么能取得常人都不容易取得的成就呢？因为她在承受巨大挫折的同时，也将挫折化为了动力，让挫折成为自己的奴隶，再一次战胜了磨难。
人生如一块璞玉，这是上帝赐予你最大的财富，这块璞玉中有着酸甜苦辣，也许痛苦过后便是幸福，这是上帝给予你最大的机遇。只有自己努力来雕琢这块璞玉，才能使它成为完美无瑕的艺术品。
同学们，当你遇到挫折、困难时，不妨想想，上帝是公平的，有时磨难也是一种财富。
五四青年节演讲稿：宝贵的精神财富
W范文网上天地精心整理了《五四青年节演讲稿：宝贵的精神财富》，望给大家带来帮助!
86年前爆发的五四运动，是一场彻底反帝反封建的伟大爱国革命运动、一场伟大的思想解放运动和新文化运动。五四运动促进了马克思主义在中国的传播，为中国共产党的成立准备了条件，从而拉开了中国新民主主义革命的序幕。五四运动也是现代中国青年运动的发端，正是在五四运动中，中国青年作为一支新生的社会力量登上历史舞台。中国共产党成立后，中国青年运动确立了正确的方向，在革命、建设和改革的各个历史时期，一代又一代先进青年在党的领导下，为争取民族独立和人民解放，为实现国家富强和人民幸福，进行了不懈奋斗，建立了卓越功勋。
五四运动给我们留下了一笔宝贵的精神财富，这就是爱国、进步、民主、科学的五四精神。五四精神始终激励着一代又一代中国青年，中国青年运动又丰富和发展了五四精神。党领导全国人民的奋斗实践，使五四精神不断升华到新的境界。五四运动86年来，中国社会发生了翻天覆地的变化，五四先驱们追求的理想和目标正在变成现实。当前，我国已进入全面建设小康社会、加快推进社会主义现代化的新阶段。在新的历史条件下发扬五四精神，就要坚持以邓小平理论和“三个代表”重要思想为指导，在全面建设小康社会的伟大实践中谱写青年运动的崭新篇章。
勇于承担历史责任，是五四以来中国青年运动的光荣传统。我们今天要进一步发扬这一光荣传统，肩负起历史赋予当代青年的使命。实现全面建设小康社会的奋斗目标，进而实现中华民族的伟大复兴，把我国建设成为富强、民主、文明的社会主义国家，是全国各族人民的共同理想，也是当代青年的历史使命和当代青年运动的主题。青年一代要牢记党和人民的重托，牢记自己肩负的历史使命，以昂扬的姿态和饱满的热情投身全面建设小康社会的伟大实践，为实现党的xx大确定的各项任务贡献青春、智慧和力量。
当代青年要肩负起历史使命，就要勤于学习。在科技进步日新月异的当今世界，更加需要发扬五四先驱们倡导的科学精神。全面建设小康社会的实践离不开科学理论的指引，现代化建设离不开科学文化的武装。要懂得马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想、邓小平理论和“三个代表”重要思想，掌握丰富的科学文化知识，具有适应社会发展需要的技能和本领，都需要下苦功夫学习。青年一代也要与时俱进，跟上时代和社会前进的步伐，为此就要树立终身学习的观念，学习学习再学习。青年处在学习的关键时期，一定要珍惜大好时光，发愤学习，刻苦钻研，打牢人生成长进步的根基。
当代青年要肩负起历史使命，就要善于创造。全面建设小康社会是前无古人的事业，在这一伟大实践中，有大量新情况需要去认识，有大量新课题需要去解决，有大量新任务需要去完成。只有不断创造，不断开拓，事业才能发展，社会才能进步。青年时期是最富有创造力的时期，青年是最具有创造热情和创造潜力的群体。青年一代要努力培养自己的创造能力，充分发挥自身的创造潜能，紧密结合全面建设小康社会的伟大实践，在不断认识和把握客观规律的基础上，勇于创造，善于创造，不断地有所发现、有所发明、有所创造、有所前进。
当代青年要肩负起历史使命，就要甘于奉献。同人民紧密结合、为祖国奉献青春，是总结中国青年运动的必然结论，也是当代青年运动的正确方向。奉献是崇高的精神境界，美好的人生追求，也是成就事业的前提。青年只有在为祖国和人民做出奉献时，青春才更加亮丽，自身价值才能更好地实现。要把个人的命运同祖国的命运紧密联系在一起，把个人的追求融入全民族的共同理想之中，自觉服务祖国和人民，无私奉献社会，艰苦奋斗，不懈进取，在火热的社会实践中创造出无悔的青春、永恒的青春。
五四以来的中国青年运动史，是中国社会伟大变革的历史篇章中一部绚丽的青春史诗，是中华民族伟大复兴的交响乐中一部雄浑的青春乐章。在全面建设小康社会的历史进程中，中国青年运动必将谱写更加光辉灿烂的篇章。让我们紧密团结在以******同志为总书记的党中央周围，高举邓小平理论和“三个代表”重要思想伟大旗帜，坚定不移跟党走，在建设中国特色社会主义的奋斗中，唱响新时期的青春之歌!
