关于时间的英文演讲稿 (一)
If you ask me what is the most precious, I would say that it’s time. Timeis something once lost, you could never have again.
Sincc I entered college I have felt a great burden off my mind and I justwant to relax.I did too many meaningless things to kill my time, such as playingcomputer games, watching TV, or gossiping. When i do these things, the time haslong been unwittingly flowed away. I seldom work on my lessons unless there isan examination. Then i work under pressure. I know it is not good, but what Ilack is self control.I know it is a problem, and it is time i did somethingabout it.
In my opinion, the best way to make full use of time is planning your timerationally and sticking the plan firmly. Spending more time on somethingsignificant not only will make your life fulfilling, but also will give you asense of accomplishment. Instead, killing your time with meaningless thingswould bring you depression even despair. Remember that those who abandon timewill be also abandoned by time.
As youth, we are in the prime of our life. We should make good use of ourgolden time. The teachers take pains to teach us every day so that we canacquire more knowledge. We study in the university and spending money that ourparents work hard to earn 。Parents hope we can learn knowledge in theuniversity. We should not fail their expectations. I should not rest contentwith what I have done. Entering cnllege is just a step in the threshold of thepalace of knowledge. The road is long. The modern age needs the well educated.The future world is highly competitive. If we idle away our time while young woshall regret it in vain when we are did.
Therefore, we should cherish it and spend it in meaningful things.
Time waits for no one. If it flows away, it will never come to us again. Wecan't take charge of our time but we should know the importance of time andcherish time.

We often hear the saying"Time is money."But I think time is much moreprecious than money.Because If we lost time, we can't find it.But We can try towoke harder to get more money.No matter whatever you do ,you can not get losttime back.
"Time flies.time and tides wait for no men".You can see how important timeis.Lunxun had said"I spent the time on my work while others are havig coffee."Wemust make good use of our time,especially for our students,we shouldn't wastetime in playing games and the like.

When the summer vacation comes, I will go back to my hometown and stay withmy grandma. My grandma loves me so much, every time when I go back to her, shewill cook me a lot of delicious food, she knows me so well. I am so happy tostay with her, I feel so peaceful, I love my grandma and I hope I can spend moretime with her.
当暑假到来的时候，我会回到家乡，和外婆呆在一起。我的外婆很爱我，每次在我回到她身边的时候，她会给我煮很多美味的食物，她很了解我。和她呆在一起我很开心，我感到很平静，我爱我的外婆，我希望能有多点时间来陪陪她。
关于时间的英文演讲稿 (四)
Nobody knows what time is like, for we cannot see it, nor can we touch it.Time is abstract, which we can only imagine in our mind.
But we do know that time passes very quickly. Some students, however, donot know the value of time, nor do they know how to make the best use of it, forthey waste it in going to films, playing games and doing other useless things.Why do we go to school early in the morning? Why do trains run so fast? Why domost people prefer taking buses instead of walking? The answer is very simple:we wish to save time because time is precious.
Today we are living in the twentieth century. We know that time is life.When a person dies, his time has ended. Since life is short, we must devote ourtime and energy to our studies so that we may be able to serve our country andthe people. But since time is invisible, we often neglect it. Lazinss. is thethief of time, for lasiness not only brings us a lot of harm, it also brings usfailure. If it is necessary for us to do some work today, let us do it today andnot leave it until tomorrow. Remember that time is more valuable than money.
关于时间的英文演讲稿 (五)
Goodmorning/afternoon,everybody!A famous American poet says , "Life is short, study is long." Everyone should work hard and study well. Never waste any time. Now we are young, we have so many things to do. Youth time is like a happy bird. If it flew away, it would never return. Nothing is more important than time.
Today some students spend too much time enjoying their lives such as eating, clothing, traveling and so on. Others spend too much time reading some useless books. A lot of time has been wasted. They have no idea that waste of time means wasting of one’s life.
While we are young and full of energy, let’s study hard.
My speech is over ! Thank you.
大家早上/下午好。美国一位著名的诗人说，"生命不息，学习不止。"每个人都应该努力工作，好好学习。不要浪费时间。现在我们正年轻，我们还有很多事情可以去做。青春是像一只快乐的小鸟。如果它飞走了，它就再也不会回来。没有什么比时间更珍贵。
今天，一些学生花太多的时间享受他们的生活，如饮食，服装，旅游等。而一些人读了很多没用的书。已经浪费了很多时间。他们不知道浪费时间就是浪费自己的生命。
我们年轻，充满活力，让我们努力学习。我的演讲到此结束！谢谢！

关于时间的英文演讲稿 (七)
honorable judges, fellow students: good afternoon!
recently, ther is a heated debate in our society. the college students arethe beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education atextraordinary places. but will we be able to face the challenge and supportourselves against all odds? will we be able to better the lives of others? willwe be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of ourcountry?
the cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, whichwould cringe at the slightest discomfort. but the cynics are wrong. the collegestudents i see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. we helpeach other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take parttime jobs to supplement our pocket money.
the cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; and we neglect theneed for character cultivation. but again, the cynics are wrong. we care deeplyfor each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth. lastweek, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order tomake a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.
as college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point inour lives. we all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each willprofoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country. i believe inall my fellow classmates. though we are still inexperienced and even a littlebit childish. i believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challengeand take on our responsibilities. we are preparing to assume newresponsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to makeour world a better place. i believein our future.
Today I am very glad to be here to share with you my ideas of success. Whatis success? It is what everyone is longing for.Sometimes success would be rathersimple. Winning a game is success; getting a high grade in the exam is success;making a new friend is success; even now I am
standing here giving my speech is somehow also success.
However, as a person’s whole life is concerned, success becomes very
complicated. Is fortune success? Is fame success? Is high social statussuccess? No, I don’t think so. I believe success is the realization ofpeople’
s hopes and ideals.Nowadays, in the modern society there are manypeople
who are regarded as the successful. And the most obvious characteristics ofhem are money, high position and luxurious life. So most people believe that ssuccess and all that they do is for this purpose. But the problem is wether itis real success. We all know there are always more money, higher position andbetter condition in front of us. If we keep chasing them, where is the end? Whatwill satisfy us at last? Therefore, we can see, to get the real Success we mustneed something inside, which is the realization of
people’ hopes and ideals.
Different people have different ideas about success; cause people’s hopesand ideas vary from one another. But I am sure every success is dear toeverybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our strivingfor success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightenedby the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and senseof responsibility. These are the best treasures. So now I am very proud that Ihave this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you. It is my success,cause I raise up to challenge my hope.
What is success? Everyone has his own interpretation as I do. But I amsure
every success leads to an ever-brighter future. So ladies and gentlemen,believe in our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a
successful life! Wish you all good success!

Men have only one chance to live in this world. Life is precious, so istime . The time you hold in your hand is so limited that you can’t afford towaste it. Once you let it slip away, you’ll never chase it back.
Since time is so precious, how can we make the most of it?In my point ofview, judgment and efficiency are the two key ingredients. It is vital to have asense of judgment. Whenever you are to make a decision, you should weigh thepros and cons. Therefore , it is much less possible to be regretful, thus avoidwasting time. And if you are sure you make the right decision, just jump on itand be decisive. Meanwhile, efficiency is also important. Being efficient meansyou are more productive than others. In this way, you are more competitive. Aslongs as you can entirely concentrate on the work you are doing, you willnaturally get your efficiency improved.
As the saying goes, ‘ Time and tide wait for no man’ . Always bear in heartthat time is precious but really limited. So it is wise of you to make carefularrangement of your time.

When people find out I write about time management, they assume two things.One is that I'm always on time, and I'm not. I have four small children, and Iwould like to blame them for my occasional tardiness, but sometimes it's justnot their fault. I was once late to my own speech on time management.
当人们发现我写关于时间管理的文章时，他们都会假设两件事：第一，我永远都准时，但我并不是。我有四个小孩，我偶尔将迟到归咎于他们，不过有时候真的不是因为他们。我有一次在去我的一个关于时间管理的演讲时迟到了。
We all had to just take a moment together and savor that irony.
我们都需要一点时间去好好地体味一下这有多么讽刺。
The second thing they assume is that I have lots of tips and tricks forsaving bits of time here and there.Sometimes I'll hear from magazines that aredoing a story along these lines, generally on how to help their readers find anextra hour in the day. And the idea is that we'll shave bits of time offeveryday activities, add it up, and we'll have time for the good stuff.
第二，人们总是假设我有很多关于如何节省时间的贴士和技巧。有时候我听说一些杂志在写这方面的故事，通常都是关于教读者如何在一天中获得额外一个小时。基本思路就是从日常的每个活动中挤出一点时间，加起来，然后我们就有时间去做更有意思的事情了。
I question the entire premise of this piece, but I'm always interested inhearing what they've come up with before they call me. Some of myfavorites:doing errands where you only have to make right-hand turns.
我对这个说法持保留意见，不过我还是愿意听听他们在找我之前有什么想法。我最喜欢的几个是：只完成那些只需要右转的事;
Being extremely judicious in microwave usage: it says three tothree-and-a-half minutes on the package, we're totally getting in on the bottomside of that. And my personal favorite, which makes sense on some level, is toDVR your favorite shows so you can fast-forward through the commercials.
在用微波炉时，要极度审慎：当食物包装上面写了3到3.5分钟时，我们要挑时间最短的那个。我个人最喜欢的是，录下你最喜欢看的电视剧，然后你就可以跳过广告了。其实在某个程度上，还是挺有道理的。
That way, you save eight minutes every half hour, so in the course of twohours of watching TV, you find 32 minutes to exercise.
这样，你每半个小时就可以挤出八分钟。那么你葱用来看电视的两个小时中，可以挤出32分钟锻炼的时间。
Which is true. You know another way to find 32 minutes to exercise? Don'twatch two hours of TV a day, right?
倒的确是这么回事儿。你还知道其他可以找到32分钟锻炼时间的方法吗?不要每天都看两个小时电视就行了，对吧? (笑声)
Anyway, the idea is we'll save bits of time here and there, add it up, wewill finally get to everything we want to do. But after studying how successfulpeople spend their time and looking at their schedules hour by hour, I thinkthis idea has it completely backward.
总之，就是要在各处都省点时间，加起来就有时间做我们想做的事了。但在我了解成功的人如何分配时间，并看过了他们的时间表后，我觉得这个想法是完全本末倒置的。
We don't build the lives we want by saving time. We build the lives wewant, and then time saves itself.
我们不是通过节省时间来打造我们想过的生活。我们应该先建立我们想要的生活，时间就会自然而然节省出来。
Here's what I mean. I recently did a time diary project looking at 1,001days in the lives of extremely busy women. They had demanding jobs, sometimestheir own businesses, kids to care for, maybe parents to care for, communitycommitments -- busy, busy people.
我来解释一下。我最近有个时间日记项目，观察最忙碌的女士生命中的1001天。她们工作繁忙，有时候是自己的生意，有时候要照顾自己的孩子，或者是照顾父母，还有服务社区等等——都是一些很忙的人。
I had them keep track of their time for a week so I could add up how muchthey worked and slept, and I interviewed them about their strategies, for mybook.
我让她们记录了一星期的行程，计算她们工作和睡觉的时间，为了我的书，我还采访 了解了她们的常用策略。
One of the women whose time log I studied goes out on a Wednesday night forsomething. She comes home to find that her water heater has broken, and there isnow water all over her basement. If you've ever had anything like this happen toyou, you know it is a hugely damaging, frightening, sopping mess.
其中一个被我研究过时间表的女士，在一个周三晚上出去了一趟，回家发现她的热水器坏了，地下室都被水淹了。如果你也遇到过这种事儿的话，你会知道眼前的景象多么令人崩溃和沮丧。
So she's dealing with the immediate aftermath that night, next day she'sgot plumbers coming in, day after that, professional cleaning crew dealing withthe ruined carpet. All this is being recorded on her time log. Winds up takingseven hours of her week. Seven hours. That's like finding an extra hour in theday.
于是那个晚上她立刻着手处理，第二天她找了一个水管工，第三天找了专业的清理人员来处理损坏的地毯。所有这些都算在了她的时间表内。总共花了她一周中的七个小时。七个小时。这就等于一周七天每天都要挤出一个小时。
But I'm sure if you had asked her at the start of the week, "Could you findseven hours to train for a triathlon?" "Could you find seven hours to mentorseven worthy people?" I'm sure she would've said what most of us would've said,which is, "No -- can't you see how busy I am?" Yet when she had to find sevenhours because there is water all over her basement, she found seven hours.
但是假如你在这一周刚开始时就问她，“你能在这周抽出七个小时来参加铁人三项吗?”，“你能在这周抽出七个小时指导七个有潜力的人吗?“我确定她会像大多数人一样， 说，”怎么可能，你看不出我有多忙吗?“ 但是她最后不得不抽出七个小时，因为她的地下室都被水淹了， 她挤出了这七个小时。
And what this shows us is that time is highly elastic. We cannot make moretime, but time will stretch to accommodate what we choose to put into it.
这件事告诉我们：时间是有弹性的。我们不能创造更多时间，但是时间会自己调整去适应我们选择去做的事情。
And so the key to time management is treating our priorities as theequivalent of that broken water heater. To get at this, I like to use languagefrom one of the busiest people I ever interviewed. By busy, I mean she wasrunning a small business with 12 people on the payroll, she had six children inher spare time.
所以时间管理的关键，就是对待最重要的事情应该像对待那个坏了的热水器一样。要做到这一点，我要借用我采访过最忙的人的话。她经营着一个小企业，请了十二名员工，空余时间她还要照顾六个孩子。
I was getting in touch with her to set up an interview on how she "had itall" -- that phrase. I remember it was a Thursday morning, and she was notavailable to speak with me. Of course, right?
我联系上了她，想要采访她关于她是怎么做到“无所不能”的。我记得那是一个星期四的早晨，她没时间和我说话。当然了，她很忙。
But the reason she was unavailable to speak with me is that she was out fora hike, because it was a beautiful spring morning, and she wanted to go for ahike. So of course this makes me even more intrigued, and when I finally docatch up with her, she explains it like this. She says, "Listen Laura,everything I do, every minute I spend, is my choice."
但是她没时间和我说话的原因是，她去远足了。因为那是春季一个美丽的清晨，所以她去远足了。这样的她让我变得更感兴趣了，当我最终联系上她时，她说：“听我说，劳拉，我做的所有的事情，我花的每分每秒，都是我的选择。
And rather than say, "I don't have time to do x, y or z," she'd say, "Idon't do x, y or z because it's not a priority." "I don't have time," oftenmeans "It's not a priority."
”所以与其说， ”我没有时间做这个，这个，或者那个。” 她会说：”我不做这些事情因为这些不是我的首要任务。““我没有时间”的意思通常是”那不是我的首要任务”。
If you think about it, that's really more accurate language. I could tellyou I don't have time to dust my blinds, but that's not true. If you offered topay me $100,000 to dust my blinds, I would get to it pretty quickly.
其实你想想， 那的确是更准确的说法。我可能会告诉你我没有时间清理百叶窗，但那不是真的。假如你愿意付我10万美金让我给百叶窗除尘，我会马上就去做。(笑声)
Since that is not going to happen, I can acknowledge this is not a matterof lacking time; it's that I don't want to do it. Using this language reminds usthat time is a choice. And granted, there may be horrible consequences formaking different choices, I will give you that.
既然那不可能发生，我可以说不是因为时间不够，而是我不想做。这么说提醒了我们，时间是一种选择。我会告诉你，当然，不同的选择有时候会带来可怕的后果。
But we are smart people, and certainly over the long run, we have the powerto fill our lives with the things that deserve to be there.
但是我们都是聪明人，从长远来看，我们有能力去选择一些值得做的事，来填补我们生命中的时间。那么我们应该怎么做呢?
So how do we do that? How do we treat our priorities as the equivalent ofthat broken water heater?
我们要如何像对待那个坏了的热水器一样对待我们的首要任务?首先，我们需要找出哪些事最重要。
Well, first we need to figure out what they are. I want to give you twostrategies for thinking about this.The first, on the professional side: I'm suremany people coming up to the end of the year are giving or getting annualperformance reviews. You look back over your successes over the year, your"opportunities for growth." And this serves its purpose, but I find it's moreeffective to do this looking forward.
我想给你们分享两个技巧。第一个，从职业的角度来说：我相信许多人在年底的时候，会发出或者收到年度绩效审查。你回头看看这一年的成功和“成长的机会”。这的确起到了它的作用，但是我发现往前看会更有效。
So I want you to pretend it's the end of next year. You're giving yourselfa performance review,and it has been an absolutely amazing year for youprofessionally. What three to five things did you do that made it so amazing? Soyou can write next year's performance review now.
我想让你们把这当做下一年的年底。你在给自己做年度绩效审查，在专业方面，这一年的表现非常出众。是哪三到五件事使这一年变得如此出众?你现在就可以写明年的绩效审查。
And you can do this for your personal life, too. I'm sure many of you, likeme, come December, get cards that contain these folded up sheets of coloredpaper, on which is written what is known as the family holiday letter.
你也可以在个人生活方面这么做。我相信你们许多人，包括我，在十二月，都会收到这种夹着彩色纸的卡片。上面写着“家庭假日信件”。
Bit of a wretched genre of literature, really, going on about how amazingeveryone in the household is,or even more scintillating, how busy everyone inthe household is. But these letters serve a purpose,which is that they tell yourfriends and family what you did in your personal life that mattered to you overthe year.
听起来像是一个挺悲惨的文学题材，谈论家里每个人有多了不起，或者更精彩点，家里每个人有多忙。但是这些信有它们的用处，它们告诉你的朋友和家人你这一年里做了什么对个人生活有意义的事。
So this year's kind of done, but I want you to pretend it's the end of nextyear, and it has been an absolutely amazing year for you and the people you careabout. What three to five things did you do that made it so amazing? So you canwrite next year's family holiday letter now. Don't send it.
那么今年快要结束了，我想让你假装这是明年的年底，对你和你在乎的人来说，这都是无与伦比的一年。哪三到五件事让你这一年表现如此出色?其实你现在就可以写明年的家庭假日信件了。先不要发出去。
Please, don't send it. But you can write it. And now, between theperformance review and the family holiday letter, we have a list of six to tengoals we can work on in the next year.
真的，不要发出去。但是你可以写。现在，有了绩效评估和写给家人的信，我们就有了六到十个明年可以努力的目标。我们需要先把他们分成可行的阶段性任务。
And now we need to break these down into doable steps. So maybe you want towrite a family history.First, you can read some other family histories, get asense for the style. Then maybe think about the questions you want to ask yourrelatives, set up appointments to interview them. Or maybe you want to run a 5K.So you need to find a race and sign up, figure out a training plan, and digthose shoes out of the back of the closet.
或许你要写一个家族传记。首先吗，你可以读读别人的家族历史，了解一下大概的风格然后可以想象你要问亲戚的问题，约定和他们见面谈话的时间。或者你想要参加一个五千米的短程马拉松。你需要先找一个竞赛报名，再做一个培训计划，从衣柜底下翻出你的运动鞋。
And then -- this is key -- we treat our priorities as the equivalent ofthat broken water heater, by putting them into our schedules first. We do thisby thinking through our weeks before we are in them.
然后——这是关键——我们将我们的首要事件视为那个坏掉的热水器，将它们优先放入我们的日程表里。我们要在事情发生的几周前就先想好。
I find a really good time to do this is Friday afternoons. Friday afternoonis what an economist might calla "low opportunity cost" time. Most of us are notsitting there on Friday afternoons saying, "I am excited to make progress towardmy personal and professional priorities right now."
我发现周五的下午最适合处理这事儿。周五的下午是被经济学家称为“低机会成本”时间。我们大部分人不会在周五下午想着，“我要朝我的个人和职业生涯的首要事件迈进了，所以很兴奋。“
But we are willing to think about what those should be. So take a littlebit of time Friday afternoon, make yourself a three-category priority list:career, relationships, self. Making a three-category list reminds usthat thereshould be something in all three categories.
但是我们愿意去想那些事是什么。所以在周五下午花一点时间，为自己做一个分成三类的首要事件的列表：事业、人际关系、个人。这样的三项分类列表提醒了我们每一个类别都应该有一些事。
Career, we think about; relationships, self -- not so much. But anyway,just a short list, two to three items in each. Then look out over the whole ofthe next week, and see where you can plan them in.
事业，我们经常考虑;人际关系，个人——很少会想。无论如何，只要一个短短的列表，每个都包含两到三件事。它们会帮助我们看清下周，如何在下周计划这些事情。你可以决定如何计划。
Where you plan them in is up to you. I know this is going to be morecomplicated for some people than others. I mean, some people's lives are justharder than others. It is not going to be easy to find time to take that poetryclass if you are caring for multiple children on your own. I get that. And Idon't want to minimize anyone's struggle. But I do think that the numbers I amabout to tell you are empowering.
这可能对一些人来说会比较困难一点。我的意思是，有些人的人生就是比较复杂。如果你自己有好几个要照顾的小孩，想要找时间去参加诗歌班一定不容易。我懂。我不想轻视任何人的困难。但是我觉得我接下来要说的数字，是会改变你的想法的。
There are 168 hours in a week. Twenty-four times seven is 168 hours. Thatis a lot of time. If you are working a full-time job, so 40 hours a week,sleeping eight hours a night, so 56 hours a week -- that leaves 72 hours forother things. That is a lot of time.
我们每周都有168个小时，24乘以7是168个小时。这是一段很长时间。假如你有一个全职的工作，一周是40个小时，每晚睡八个小时，一周是56个小时，我们有剩下72个小时来做其他事情。这是一段很长的时间。
You say you're working 50 hours a week, maybe a main job and a side hustle.Well, that leaves 62 hours for other things. You say you're working 60 hours.Well, that leaves 52 hours for other things. You say you're working more than 60hours. Well, are you sure?
假如你说你每周工作50个小时，比如一份全职和一份兼职。这样你还是有60小时去做其他的事情。假如你说你每周工作60个小时，你还是有52个小时去做其他的事情。你说你每周工作超过60个小时，你确定吗?
There was once a study comparing people's estimated work weeks with timediaries. They found that people claiming 75-plus-hour work weeks were off byabout 25 hours.
曾经有一个研究对比了人们估计的工作时间，和实际的工作日记。他们发现那些表示工作超过75小时的人，有25小时的误差。
You can guess in which direction, right? Anyway, in 168 hours a week, Ithink we can find time for what matters to you.
你可以猜到这个误差是多了还是少了吧?无论如何，在一周的168个小时里，我觉得我们总可以找到时间做我们想做的事。
If you want to spend more time with your kids, you want to study more for atest you're taking, you want to exercise for three hours and volunteer for two,you can. And that's even if you're working way more than full-time hours.
如果你想花时间陪陪你的孩子，或者准备你即将到来的考试，你想锻炼两三个小时或者 做两个小时志愿者，你都可以的。即便你的工作时间远超过法定时间。
So we have plenty of time, which is great, because guess what? We don'teven need that much time to do amazing things. But when most of us have bits oftime, what do we do? Pull out the phone, right?Start deleting emails. Otherwise,we're puttering around the house or watching TV.
所以我们有很多时间，这很好。但是你知道吗?我们根本不需要那么多时间去完成一个大目标。但当我们有一点空闲时间的时候，我们会做什么?拿出手机，是吧?开始删除邮件。或者在家里闲逛，看电视。
But small moments can have great power. You can use your bits of time forbits of joy. Maybe it's choosing to read something wonderful on the bus on theway to work.
但是每个不起眼的时刻都潜力无限。你可以用零星的时间，来获得零星的快乐。比如说在去上班的公车上读一些精彩的东西。
I know when I had a job that required two bus rides and a subway ride everymorning, I used to go to the library on weekends to get stuff to read. It madethe whole experience almost, almost, enjoyable. Breaks at work can be used formeditating or praying. If family dinner is out because of your crazy workschedule, maybe family breakfast could be a good substitute.
当我以前的工作需要我每天早上乘两趟公车和一趟地铁的时候，我周末会去图书馆找东西来读。这几乎，几乎让我的生活更丰富了。工作间隙的休息时间可以用来冥想或者祷告。如果你因为工作忙而不能吃家庭晚餐，试一下家庭早餐。
It's about looking at the whole of one's time and seeing where the goodstuff can go. I truly believe this.There is time. Even if we are busy, we havetime for what matters. And when we focus on what matters, we can build the liveswe want in the time we've got.
这就是看着一个人所有的时间，然后找到什么时候可以做想做的事。我真的相信，我们都有充分的时间。就算我们很忙，我们仍然有时间去做重要的事。当我们关注在重要的事上时，我们可以用所拥有的时间创造我们想要的生活。
Thank you.
谢谢。
关于时间的英文演讲稿 (十)
my brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sisters bureau and lifted out a tissue-wrapped package. this, he said, is not a slip. this is lingerie. he discarded the tissue and handed me the slip.
it was exquisite, silk, handmade and trimmed with a cobweb of lace. the price tag with an astronomical figure on it was still attached.
jan bought this the first time we went to new york, at least 8 or 9 years ago. she never wore it. she was saving it for a special occasion.
well, i guess this is the occasion.
he took the slip from me and put it on the bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the mortician. his hands lingered on the soft material for a moment, then he slammed the drawer shut and turned to me, dont ever save anything for a special occasion. every day you re alive is a special occasion.
