Actions speak louder than words. A five-minute speech.
Speech is a style that people often use in their work, study and life. It can be used to exchange ideas, feelings and express opinions! The following are some speeches I have compiled for you, hoping to help you.

Actions speak louder than words. I remember a philosopher said, "No matter how good the idea is, you can buy a dozen for a dime;" Only those who are brave enough to act are priceless. " Therefore, it is far from enough to have "talk" and "know" to succeed in your career, but also to have "action". "Actions speak louder than words" is the motto of all our students in Tsinghua. "Doing is better than knowing" is the screen name of one of my most devout fans on Kaifu Student Online. I want to thank him deeply, and at the same time, I want to thank countless young netizens who have been deeply in love with my Kaifu student network for many years, because it is these young netizens I have never met who have given me the warmest encouragement and the strongest support for the publication of Habitat Studies.

That revolves around my speech career, how on earth did I achieve "if I talk too much, I will lose, and if I talk too much, I will know"?

You see, the example I cited earlier is very typical-most people will be finished when they hear Mr. Wang Hongqing's sentence; But when I feel reasonable after listening, I will act immediately; Not only that, I will make it a habit and do it ten times, a hundred times and a thousand times over and over again. Isn't this a typical "action speaks louder than words, and action speaks louder than knowledge"?

So in the final analysis, if you really want to "action is better than words and action is better than knowledge", you have to work hard on your habits. Because only by working hard on habits can we "know what we must do and do what we must do" and have a strong "action power"; Otherwise, if we don't work hard on our habits, our "actions speak louder than words and actions speak louder than knowledge" is just an empty talk and a slogan, right?

In order to truly implement "action is better than words and action is better than knowledge", besides the big and key habits mentioned above, what specific and meticulous habits have I developed in my speech?

You see, in order to facilitate my emotional communication with the audience, it has become my habit to inquire about the local customs and interesting things of celebrities in the audience area online before each speech.

You see, a speech with a script and a speech without a script must be completely different in appeal. Therefore, from the first speech, I formed the habit of talking without writing.

You see, the speaker's "sincerity" is essential to make his speech really move people's hearts. So every time I give a speech, I will ask myself a question-how to make today's audience get the most benefit from the speech, which has long been my habit.

You see, whether the opening speech of each speech is wonderful or not is often very important to the speaker. If the opening is good, you will be full of confidence and the whole speech will be in full swing; If the opening is not good, you will lose confidence, and the whole speech may become less and less confident. Therefore, I have long formed the habit of carefully preparing for the opening ceremony, and even broke my hands and recited it again and again after writing it down.

You see, the success of every speech depends on whether the auxiliary equipment such as microphone, stereo, whiteboard and whiteboard pen are ideal, and even the temperature of the venue and whether to add or subtract clothes because of it must be carefully thought out; And the serious handling of all this has long been my habit.

You see, attending on time every time should also be an essential part of a successful speech, right? It is hard to imagine that a belated and well-founded speaker can be welcomed and recognized by the audience, and this is also a concrete manifestation of whether you have enough respect for your audience to some extent. Because I know this well, 85 1 of the 852 speeches I have made so far have arrived on time; The only time I was late was when I gave a speech at China Agricultural University. When I arrived, I found that the lecture hall of the Food College I was going to was not in their headquarters in the north of the Summer Palace, but in the east campus seven or eight kilometers away. I know I was busy driving before I came alive, and I was ten minutes late. I can only bow deeply and apologize to my young audience.

My friend, in the capital with such a serious traffic jam, I was only late once, and nearly a thousand speeches were only ten minutes. This should be a very good record, right?

So how did I do it?

The answer is habit-because this is a person's most basic professional quality, so I have long formed the habit of attending various dates and parties on time. Take my class in Tsinghua every morning as an example. My home is about 20 minutes' drive from Tsinghua, but considering the congestion in Beijing, I always leave by car one and a half to two hours in advance. I arranged to have breakfast at school. Why? Because in case the traffic jam is particularly serious that day, I can take this breakfast time as a maneuver and still ensure that I appear in front of the students on time.

Friend, what is this? Isn't this the power of habit, a habit that can't be more stable, firm and reliable after 852 speeches? Imagine, once you have formed such a habit, how can you not keep your appointment on time? "knowledge must be done, action must be constant, action speaks louder than words, and action speaks louder than knowledge"? Because of this, our teacher Feng, who is in charge of the joint class in Tsinghua, once said to me with emotion, "Teacher Zhou, we are most at ease with your class." But I think, to reassure them, especially my teacher Zhou, it is better to say that I have developed various habits and absolutely reassure them! Are you right?

And my friend, in order to truly implement the big habit of "knowing must be done, doing must be constant, doing is better than words, and doing is better than knowing", here is another specific and detailed habit that I must share with you.

So what is this habit?

As mentioned above, I have made 852 speeches so far. Why can I have such accurate figures?

To tell the truth, although my speech must be written off every time, I have developed the habit of carefully preparing an outline every time since June 22nd. 1999. Now, when you come to my house, you can see the 852 outlines I have stored in the bookcase. It is an unbreakable habit formed nearly a thousand times. Therefore, every time I give a speech now, I will habitually prepare this outline carefully, number it, mark the places that I pay special attention to in the upper left corner, and record the overall feelings, students' reactions and shortcomings in the lower right corner, so as to continuously improve, perfect and update it in the future. In this regard, even if I forget to bring my watch, the whiteboard pen is not smooth enough, and I will write it down if I work overtime for 5 minutes. ...

……

My friend, if you never leave, how do you feel after reading the above? You see, the reason why our teachers in Tsinghua are so assured of my lectures, the reason why Li Na's students keep singing while listening to the lectures, and every time I give lectures, I feel like I'm celebrating the New Year, as well as the so-called "Top Ten Golden Lists of China" that I happened to see on the Internet ... Imagine, aren't these all the results of various habits? And when all these career-related habits are gradually developed, consolidated and stronger, how can you not "know what it is, do what it does, say what it does and do what it knows" on the way forward? Then how can the magical "flywheel effect" we mentioned above not be realized for you?

With regard to "habit determines occupation", I would like to add two points in particular.

My friend, at this point, we have come to an end about the proposition that "habit determines occupation" On the occasion of farewell, I would like to add two points, which may be beneficial to you.

The first point I want to add is about what the Lord said, "He who sows with tears will reap with joy."

This is, of course, a very classic saying-we sow with tears and finally cheer for the harvest. This is just like the reason why I chose the career of speaking. It was a tearful and even painful experience. As for forming every specific habit, when we started sowing, there were also some hardships and "tears". But what I want to add is that after you sow with tears and after these habits are formed, your whole "cultivation" process has always been pleasant, relaxed and enjoyable.

Take my 852 speeches as an example. In these 852 speeches, I have to prepare the outline of each speech on time and carefully, and start from home one and a half to two hours in advance for each speech, summing up the advantages and disadvantages of each speech ... In fact, all this is a habit. As a habit, aren't all these things you are familiar with, used to, enjoy, strive for perfection, practice makes perfect and keep pace with the times? ! Therefore, young friends must not misunderstand the above five words "sowing with tears", and must not think that although my harvest is "cheering", the whole process from "sowing" to "harvesting" is "tearful" and painful, and I must grit my teeth every day; If it is, isn't it that the "ascetic monk" is working hard on his habits? !

The above is the first point I want to add.

The second point I want to add is about the last sentence in Wang Xuehong's commemorative article ── "Hard work and simplicity are not difficult to say, but it is difficult to stick to them as a habit for a lifetime".

What should I add to this sentence?

What I want to add is that it would be better to add the word "wisdom" after the word "difficulty".

Why?

Because in my opinion, we work hard on "habits", especially a "difficult" thing, not a very "smart" thing. You see, you will be surprised when you see that Wang Yongqing can insist on "lunch briefing" and "getting up at two o'clock in the morning" every day for decades. Because this is really commendable, Wang Yongqing is simply a superman! And we ordinary people can only look up and sigh.

But if you analyze it carefully, it all comes from habit. As long as we are willing to work hard on our habits, it is not difficult for us ordinary people to obtain this seemingly magical power.

Then why dare I say so?

You see, personally, I am a very ordinary person, and I am a person who throws my life into ruins. When I was young, I had no idea about persistence and perseverance for decades. But I didn't expect that today, I have insisted on getting up at about four o'clock every morning to write for more than ten years, practicing for more than thirty years every day, summing up the pros and cons 842 times in each speech, and insisting on "chanting the scriptures every day" for more than ten years, thousands of days ... How did all this happen? Almost all of them were acquired after I understood the mystery of habit.

Do you call all this "difficulty"? It can be said that it is both "difficult" and not "difficult".

Why?

Because when you know "habit", the greatest power in the world, when you know this kind of life wisdom, when you master this kind of life know-how, when you have this wonderful Aladdin magic lamp, in fact, it is easy for each of us to have this kind of tenacity and tenacity that lasts for decades.

In this regard, I just need to take wearing a seat belt as an example, and you will understand it easily.

You see, I always wear a seat belt when riding or driving. In other words, I have persisted for more than ten years, and I will be able to persist in wearing my seat belt for decades in my life.

Then where did my persistence of "decades like one day" come from?

In fact, it came from the first day when I got my driver's license more than ten years ago, and it came from the first five minutes when I first entered the cab that day.

Why?

Because first of all, as an official driver, I must take my own safety and my most precious life very seriously from now on. Secondly, I must put safe driving into practice. As an official driver, I must get into the habit of wearing a seat belt from the beginning. Third, it is not difficult to form a habit. As long as you repeat it enough from the beginning, this habit will be formed.

So, under the control of the above three concepts, the first thing I did when I got into the cab that day was not to start the car, but to plug in and take off the seat belt; Plug it in again and then take it off; Plug it in again and then take it off; Plug it in again and take it off again. ...

Friend, in the eyes of ordinary people, I must be a little insane, right? For this "plug-in, delete; Plug in the power supply and then remove it. You must be a little impatient when you read it, right? ! But to tell the truth, it is this seemingly "mental abnormality" that "plugs in and takes it off" over and over again; Plug it in again, then take it off. It is this extremely serious spirit of being highly responsible for my precious life that made me form extremely important living habits in less than five minutes, and my driving safety has been fundamentally guaranteed since then. Think about it, that is, how many people and families have been destroyed in China and even the whole world without the tireless repetition of these five minutes!

Therefore, my friend, I said earlier-"We should work hard on' habit', especially if it is a' difficult' thing, not a very' smart' thing"-am I right? ! When we don't know the "wisdom" of "habit", it is almost as difficult to have the tenacity of "being like a day for decades". But when we have this kind of "wisdom", it only takes five minutes to get the tenacity of "persisting for a lifetime" and "being like a day for decades". Isn't this a typical "one book is profitable" and "four is powerful"? Imagine, what else in our world can be higher than this "input-output ratio"? ! The problem is this "wisdom". You don't need to be as high as 2.23 meters in Yao Ming, but be serious and repeat it several times to get it. Then why do we put it on the shelf or pass by ourselves? ! !

Actions speak louder than words. The theme of my speech today is ideals and beliefs. Although the monument is silent and the facts speak louder than words, I still want to express my humble opinion here, hoping that everyone will be touched after listening. "Leviticus" Tolstoy said, "Ideal is the guiding light. Without ideals, there is no firm direction, and without direction, there is no good life. " So people should have ideals and ambitions from an early age.

People with ideals are like birds with wings. Throughout the ages, because countless people have lofty ideals and have struggled for them all their lives, they have achieved brilliant results. For example, our great Chairman Mao, he had ideals and great ambitions since he was a child. "Children are determined to go to the countryside, and they won't come back until they become famous. The bones don't need to be buried, and they are endless. " This is a poem he left to his father on the eve of reading, expressing his lofty ideals. He has ideals and lofty aspirations, and constantly strives for them, and finally becomes a generation of wise leaders. And our beloved Zhou, whose phrase "study for the rise of China" once amazed many people. His lofty ideals make him stand out among the students and make his life different. Great men become great men because they have ideals and ambitions since childhood and do their best to realize them. Pu Songling also said, "Where there is a will, there is a way. If you cross the rubicon, 102 Qin Guan will eventually return to Chu; " Hard-working people, heaven rewards hard work, and never stops. More than 3,000 armour can swallow Wu. "His self-encouragement inspired many people with lofty ideals.

In the long life, it is not enough to have ideals. In addition to lofty ideals, we must also have firm beliefs, which support life. Life without faith is unthinkable. Martin, a famous American human rights movement leader. Lu Se. King relied on his unswerving belief to oppose racial discrimination in the United States and strive for the freedom and equality of blacks. A firm belief is the foundation of success. When you have faith, you have the most precious wealth. The most terrible thing in life is that there is no firm belief. Faith is the air to breathe, the water for travelers in the desert, and the sun in our hearts. Because of our firm belief, we have created the miracle of "rope saws wood" and "water drops wear stone"! Because we have a firm belief, we have the determination and courage to face difficulties!

With lofty ideals and firm beliefs, we should go all out to realize our ideals. I don't think about whether I can succeed or not. Since I have chosen a distant place, I only care about bitterness and difficulty! We all know that hard work may not necessarily succeed, but no hard work will definitely fail. To say the least, even if we fail, we have a clear conscience and no regrets!

Where there are ideals, there is hope. If there is hope, don't give up. Let each of us light up the light of wisdom, fly the hope of tomorrow, put wings on our ideals and fly freely in the blue sky!

Five minutes' actions speak louder than words. Ideal is the spiritual pillar of mankind. It is different from fleeting things such as money and status, like eternal mountains, supporting a magnificent life. Like a rushing river, it gives people a vigorous and enterprising spirit. Comrade _ _ once said: "People can't live with vegetation, can't live in a drunken dream, and waste their lives doing nothing." His words touched on history and broke through the annual rings. Today, with the reform and opening up and the people of the whole country moving towards a well-off society, it still has practical significance.

Ideal and belief, a term that shines with passion, in the long years of war, how many people with lofty ideals pursued you and how many people paid the price of their lives for you. In days of darkness, where the nation was in peril, the October Revolution brought Marxism-Leninism to the dark old China, and the torch of the revolution reflected the South Lake in July!

Since then, many people groping in the dark have a direction to go forward and raised an ideal banner in their hearts. "Snow-covered, wild, cold plateau, food shortage", what supported the Red Army to complete the great feat of the 25,000-mile long March? It's faith, it's ideal!

How many martyrs died for their ideals? Ye Ting, _ _, Wang Ruofei, Jie Jiang, Zhao Yiman ... Their glorious images inspire generations to struggle for lofty ideals!

Imagine that a person without ideals and beliefs just wants to be comfortable, eat, drink and be merry in time, and waste his life all day. They will eventually be eliminated by the torrent of great changes.

A person with real ideals should cherish the creation and labor of reality and grasp every minute of the moment. Real life is by no means a straight and flat road, including desolate deserts and deep valleys; There are high mountains with horizontal resistance and rapids with broken circuits. Only by persisting in pioneering and enterprising can we usher in a brilliant future!

On the emotional balance, the motherland is the heaviest; Life and career have the longest road. Ideals without struggle are like floating clouds; Without ideal struggle, life will inevitably go astray. Ups and downs, the stream is full of vitality; Without wind and waves, the sea looks mediocre.

Take advantage of the strong east wind of the times and fight for the ideal! The cause is at your feet, embrace the cause with dedication and give everything selflessly to our great motherland!
