George
W.Bush's Inaugural Address January 20, 2001
President
Clinton, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, the peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country.With a simple oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.As I begin, I thank President Clinton for his service to our nation.And I thank Vice President Gore for a contest conducted with spirit and ended with grace.I am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of America's leaders have come before me, and so many will follow.We have a place, all of us, in a long story--a
story
we continue, but whose end we will not see.It is the
story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.It is the American story--a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise belongs, deserves a chance,that
no insignificant person was ever born.Americans are called to enact
that that
everyone everyone this promise in our lives and in our laws.And though our nation has sometimes halted,and
sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.Through much of the last century, America's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea.Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we
carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along.And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.While many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise, even the justice, of our own
country.The ambitions of some Americans are limited by failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of their birth.And
sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share a continent, but not a country.We do not accept this, and we will not allow it.Our unity, our union, is the serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation.And this is my solemn pledge: I will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity.I know this is in our reach because we are guided by a power larger than ourselves who creates us equal in His image.And we are confident in principles that unite and lead us onward.America has never been united by blood or birth or soil.We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens.Every child must be taught these principles.Every citizen must uphold them.And every immigrant, by embracing these ideals, makes our country more, not less, American.Today, we affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's
promise
through civility, courage, compassion and character.America, at its best, matches a commitment to principle with a concern for civility.A civil society demands from each
of us good will and respect, fair dealing and forgiveness.Some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because, in a time of peace, the stakes of our debates appear small.But the stakes for America are never small.If our country does not lead the cause of freedom, it will not be led.If we do not turn the hearts of
children
toward knowledge and character, we will lose their gifts and undermine their idealism.If we permit our economy to drift and decline, the vulnerable will suffer most.We must live up to the calling we share.Civility is not a tactic or a sentiment.It is the determined choice of trust
over
cynicism,of community over chaos.And this commitment, if we keep it, is a way to shared accomplishment.America, at its best, is also courageous.Our national courage has been clear
in
times
of depression and war, when defending common dangers defined our common good.Now we must choose if the example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us.We must show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations.Together, we will reclaim America's
schools,before ignorance and apathy claim more young lives.We will
reform and

by choice, shaping a balance of power that favors freedom.We will defend our allies and our interests.We will show purpose without arrogance.We will meet aggression and bad faith with resolve and strength.And to all nations, we
will speak for the valuesss that gave our nation birth.America, at its best, is compassionate.In the quiet of American conscience, we know that deep, persistent poverty is unworthy of our nation's promise.And whatever our views of its cause, we can agree that children at risk are not at fault.Abandonment
and abuse are not acts of God, they are failures of love.And the
proliferation
of prisons, however necessary, is no substitute for hope and order in our souls.Where there is suffering, there is duty.Americans in need are not strangers, they are citizens, not problems, but priorities.And all of us are diminished when any are hopeless.Government
has
great responsibilities for public safety and public health, for civil rights and common schools.Yet compassion is the work of a nation, not just a government.And some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor's touch or a pastor's prayer.Church and charity, synagogue and mosque
lend
our communities their humanity, and they will have an honored place in
our plans and in our laws.Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty, but we can listen to those who do.And I can pledge our nation to a goal: When we see that wounded traveler on the road to Jericho, we will not pass to the other side.America, at its best, is a place where personal responsibility is valuessd and expected.Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats, it is a call to conscience.And though it requires sacrifice, it brings a deeper fulfillment.We
find

President Bush Addresses TO United Nations
United Nations Headquarters
New York, New York
September 14, 2005
THE PRESIDENT: Mr.Secretary General, Mr.President, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen: Thank you for the privilege of being here for the 60th anniversary of the United Nations.Thank you for your dedication to the vital work and great ideals of this institution.We meet at a time of great challenge for America and the world.At this moment, men and women along my country's Gulf Coast are recovering from one of the worst natural disasters in American history.Many have lost homes, and loved ones, and all their earthly possessions.In Alabama and Mississippi and Louisiana, whole neighborhoods have been lifted from their foundations and sent crashing into the streets.A great American city is working to turn the flood waters and reclaim its future.We have witnessed the awesome power of nature--and the greater power of human compassion.Americans have responded to their neighbors in need, and so have many of the nations represented in this chamber.All together, more than 115 countries and nearly a dozen international organizations have stepped forward with offers of assistance.To every nation, every province, and every community across the world that is standing with the American people in this hour of need, I offer the thanks of my nation.Your response, like the response to last year's tsunami, has shown once again that the world is more compassionate and hopeful when we act together.This truth was the inspiration for the United Nations.The U.N.'s founding members laid out great and honorable goals in the charter they drafted six decades ago.That document commits this organization to work to “save succeeding generations from the scourge of war,” “reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights,” and “promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom.” We remain committed to those noble ideals.As we respond to great humanitarian needs, we must actively respond to the other great challenges of our time.We must continue to work to ease suffering, and to spread freedom, and to lay the foundations of lasting peace for our children and grandchildren.In this young century, the far corners of the world are linked more closely than ever before--and no nation can remain isolated and indifferent to the struggles of others.When a country, or a region is filled with despair, and resentment and vulnerable to violent and aggressive ideologies, the threat passes easily across oceans and borders, and could threaten the security of any peaceful country.Terrorism fed by anger and despair has come to Tunisia, to Indonesia, to Kenya, to Tanzania, to Morocco, to Israel, to Saudi Arabia, to the United States, to Turkey, to Spain, to Russia, to Egypt, to Iraq, and the United Kingdom.And those who have not seen attacks on their own soil have still shared in the sorrow--from Australians killed in Bali, to Italians killed in Egypt, to the citizens of dozens of nations who were killed on September the 11th, 2001, here in the city where we meet.The lesson is clear: There can be no safety in looking away, or seeking the quiet life by ignoring the hardship and oppression of others.Either hope will spread, or violence will spread--and we must take the side of hope.Sometimes our security will require confronting threats directly, and so a great coalition of nations has come together to fight the terrorists across the world.We've worked together to help break up terrorist networks that cross borders, and rout out radical cells within our own borders.We've eliminated terrorist sanctuaries.We're using our diplomatic and financial tools to cut off their financing and drain them of support.And as we fight, the terrorists must know that the world stands united against them.We must complete the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism that will put every nation on record: The targeting and deliberate killing by terrorists of civilians and non-combatants cannot be justified or legitimized by any cause or grievance.And the world's free nations are determined to stop the terrorists and their allies from acquiring the terrible weapons that would allow them to kill on a scale equal to their hatred.For that reason, more than 60 countries are supporting the Proliferation Security Initiative to intercept shipments of weapons of mass destruction on land, on sea, and in air.The terrorists must know that wherever they go, they cannot escape justice.Later today, the Security Council has an opportunity to put the terrorists on notice when it votes on a resolution that condemns the incitement of terrorist acts--the resolution that calls upon all states to take appropriate steps to end such incitement.We also need to sign and implement the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism, so that all those who seek radioactive materials or nuclear devices are prosecuted and extradited, wherever they are.We must send a clear message to the rulers of outlaw regimes that sponsor terror and pursue weapons of mass murder: You will not be allowed to threaten the peace and stability of the world.Confronting our enemies is essential, and so civilized nations will continue to take the fight to the terrorists.Yet we know that this war will not be won by force of arms alone.We must defeat the terrorists on the battlefield, and we must also defeat them in the battle of ideas.We must change the conditions that allow terrorists to flourish and recruit, by spreading the hope of freedom to millions who've never known it.We must help raise up the failing states and stagnant societies that provide fertile ground for the terrorists.We must defend and extend a vision of human dignity, and opportunity, and prosperity--a vision far stronger than the dark appeal of resentment and murder.To spread a vision of hope, the United States is determined to help nations that are struggling with poverty.We are committed to the Millennium Development goals.This is an ambitious agenda that includes cutting poverty and hunger in half, ensuring that every boy and girl in the world has access to primary education, and halting the spread of AIDS--all by 2015.We have a moral obligation to help others--and a moral duty to make sure our actions are effective.At Monterrey in 2002, we agreed to a new vision for the way we fight poverty, and curb corruption, and provide aid in this new millennium.Developing countries agreed to take responsibility for their own economic progress through good governance and sound policies and the rule of law.Developed countries agreed to support those efforts, including increased aid to nations that undertake necessary reforms.My own country has sought to implement the Monterrey Consensus by establishing the new Millennium Challenge Account.This account is increasing U.S.aid for countries that govern justly, invest in their people, and promote economic freedom.More needs to be done.I call on all the world's nations to implement the Monterrey Consensus.Implementing the Monterrey Consensus means continuing on the long, hard road to reform.Implementing the Monterrey Consensus means creating a genuine partnership between developed and developing countries to replace the donor-client relationship of the past.And implementing the Monterrey Consensus means welcoming all developing countries as full participants to the global economy, with all the requisite benefits and responsibilities.Tying aid to reform is essential to eliminating poverty, but our work doesn't end there.For many countries, AIDS, malaria, and other diseases are both humanitarian tragedies and significant obstacles to development.We must give poor countries access to the emergency lifesaving drugs they need to fight these infectious epidemics.Through our bilateral programs and the Global Fund, the United States will continue to lead the world in providing the resources to defeat the plague of HIV-AIDS.Today America is working with local authorities and organizations in the largest initiative in history to combat a specific disease.Across Africa, we're helping local health officials expand AIDS testing facilities, train and support doctors and nurses and counselors, and upgrade clinics and hospitals.Working with our African partners, we have now delivered lifesaving treatment to more than 230,000 people in sub-Sahara Africa.We are ahead of schedule to meet an important objective: providing HIV-AIDS treatment for nearly two million adults and children in Africa.At the G-8 Summit at Gleneagles, Scotland, we set a clear goal: an AIDS-free generation in Africa.And I challenge every member of the United Nations to take concrete steps to achieve that goal.We're also working to fight malaria.This preventable disease kills more than a million people around the world every year--and leaves poverty and grief in every land it touches.The United States has set a goal of cutting the malaria death rate in half in at least 15 highly endemic African countries.To achieve that goal, we've pledged to increase our funding for malaria treatment and prevention by more than $1.2 billion over the next five years.We invite other nations to join us in this effort by committing specific aid to the dozens of other African nations in need of it.Together we can fight malaria and save hundreds of thousands of lives, and bring new hope to countries that have been devastated by this terrible disease.As we strengthen our commitments to fighting malaria and AIDS, we must also remain on the offensive against new threats to public health such as the Avian Influenza.If left unchallenged, this virus could become the first pandemic of the 21st century.We must not allow that to happen.Today I am announcing a new International Partnership on Avian and Pandemic Influenza.The Partnership requires countries that face an outbreak to immediately share information and provide samples to the World Health Organization.By requiring transparency, we can respond more rapidly to dangerous outbreaks and stop them on time.Many nations have already joined this partnership;we invite all nations to participate.It's essential we work together, and as we do so, we will fulfill a moral duty to protect our citizens, and heal the sick, and comfort the afflicted.Even with increased aid to fight disease and reform economies, many nations are held back by another heavy challenge: the burden of debt.So America and many nations have also acted to lift this burden that limits the growth of developing economies, and holds millions of people in poverty.Today poor countries with the heaviest debt burdens are receiving more than $30 billion in debt relief.And to prevent the build-up of future debt, my country and other nations have agreed that international financial institutions should increasingly provide new aid in the form of grants, rather than loans.The G-8 agreed at Gleneagles to go further.To break the lend-and-forgive cycle permanently, we agreed to cancel 100 percent of the debt for the world's most heavily indebted nations.I call upon the World Bank and the IMF to finalize this historic agreement as soon as possible.We will fight to lift the burden of poverty from places of suffering--not just for the moment, but permanently.And the surest path to greater wealth is greater trade.In a letter he wrote to me in August, the Secretary General commended the G-8's work, but told me that aid and debt relief are not enough.The Secretary General said that we also need to reduce trade barriers and subsidies that are holding developing countries back.I agree with the Secretary General: The Doha Round is “the most promising way” to achieve this goal.A successful Doha Round will reduce and eliminate tariffs and other barriers on farm and industrial goods.It will end unfair agricultural subsidies.It will open up global markets for services.Under Doha, every nation will gain, and the developing world stands to gain the most.Historically, developing nations that open themselves up to trade grow at several times the rate of other countries.The elimination of trade barriers could lift hundreds of millions of people out of poverty over the next 15 years.The stakes are high.The lives and futures of millions of the world's poorest citizens hang in the balance--and so we must bring the Doha trade talks to a successful conclusion.Doha is an important step toward a larger goal: We must tear down the walls that separate the developed and developing worlds.We need to give the citizens of the poorest nations the same ability to access the world economy that the people of wealthy nations have, so they can offer their goods and talents on the world market alongside everyone else.We need to ensure that they have the same opportunities to pursue their dreams, provide for their families, and live lives of dignity and self-reliance.And the greatest obstacles to achieving these goals are the tariffs and subsidies and barriers that isolate people of developing nations from the great opportunities of the 21st century.Today, I reiterate the challenge I have made before: We must work together in the Doha negotiations to eliminate agricultural subsidies that distort trade and stunt development, and to eliminate tariffs and other barriers to open markets for farmers around the world.Today I broaden the challenge by making this pledge: The United States is ready to eliminate all tariffs, subsidies and other barriers to free flow of goods and services as other nations do the same.This is key to overcoming poverty in the world's poorest nations.It's essential we promote prosperity and opportunity for all nations.By expanding trade, we spread hope and opportunity to the corners of the world, and we strike a blow against the terrorists who feed on anger and resentment.Our agenda for freer trade is part of our agenda for a freer world, where people can live and worship and raise their children as they choose.In the long run, the best way to protect the religious freedom, and the rights of women and minorities, is through institutions of self-rule, which allow people to assert and defend their own rights.All who stand for human rights must also stand for human freedom.This is a moment of great opportunity in the cause of freedom.Across the world, hearts and minds are opening to the message of human liberty as never before.In the last two years alone, tens of millions have voted in free elections in Afghanistan and Iraq, in Lebanon and the Palestinian territories, in Kyrgyzstan, in Ukraine, and Georgia.And as they claim their freedom, they are inspiring millions more across the broader Middle East.We must encourage their aspirations.We must nurture freedom's progress.And the United Nations has a vital role to play.Through the new U.N.Democracy Fund, the democratic members of the U.N.will work to help others who want to join the democratic world.It is fitting that the world's largest democracy, India, has taken a leadership role in this effort, pledging $10 million to get the fund started.Every free nation has an interest in the success of this fund--and every free nation has a responsibility in advancing the cause of liberty.The work of democracy is larger than holding a fair election;it requires building the institutions that sustain freedom.Democracy takes different forms in different cultures, yet all free societies have certain things in common.Democratic nations uphold the rule of law, impose limits on the power of the state, treat women and minorities as full citizens.Democratic nations protect private property, free speech and religious expression.Democratic nations grow in strength because they reward and respect the creative gifts of their people.And democratic nations contribute to peace and stability because they seek national greatness in the achievements of their citizens, not the conquest of their neighbors.For these reasons, the whole world has a vital interest in the success of a free Iraq--and no civilized nation has an interest in seeing a new terror state emerge in that country.So the free world is working together to help the Iraqi people to establish a new nation that can govern itself, sustain itself, and defend itself.It's an exciting opportunity for all of us in this chamber.And the United Nations has played a vital role in the success of the January elections, where eight and a half million Iraqis defied the terrorists and cast their ballots.And since then, the United Nations has supported Iraq's elected leaders as they drafted a new constitution.The United Nations and its member states must continue to stand by the Iraqi people as they complete the journey to a fully constitutional government.And when Iraqis complete their journey, their success will inspire others to claim their freedom, the Middle East will grow in peace and hope and liberty, and all of us will live in a safer world.The advance of freedom and security is the calling of our time.It is the mission of the United Nations.The United Nations was created to spread the hope of liberty, and to fight poverty and disease, and to help secure human rights and human dignity for all the world's people.To help make these promises real, the United Nations must be strong and efficient, free of corruption, and accountable to the people it serves.The United Nations must stand for integrity, and live by the high standards it sets for others.And meaningful institutional reforms must include measures to improve internal oversight, identify cost savings, and ensure that precious resources are used for their intended purpose.The United Nations has taken the first steps toward reform.The process will continue in the General Assembly this fall, and the United States will join with others to lead the effort.And the process of reform begins with members taking our responsibilities seriously.When this great institution's member states choose notorious abusers of human rights to sit on the U.N.Human Rights Commission, they discredit a noble effort, and undermine the credibility of the whole organization.If member countries want the United Nations to be respected--respected and effective, they should begin by making sure it is worthy of respect.At the start of a new century, the world needs the United Nations to live up to its ideals and fulfill its mission.The founding members of this organization knew that the security of the world would increasingly depend on advancing the rights of mankind, and this would require the work of many hands.After committing America to the idea of the U.N.in 1945, President Franklin Roosevelt declared: “The structure of world peace cannot be the work of one man, or one party, or one nation.” Peace is the responsibility of every nation and every generation.In each era of history, the human spirit has been challenged by the forces of darkness and chaos.Some challenges are the acts of nature;others are the works of men.This organization was convened to meet these challenges by harnessing the best instincts of humankind, the strength of the world united in common purpose.With courage and conscience, we will meet our responsibilities to protect the lives and rights of others.And when we do, we will help fulfill the promise of the United Nations, and ensure that every human being enjoys the peace and the freedom and the dignity our Creator intended for all.Thank you.(Applause.)

小布什出任美國總統(tǒng)的就職演說詞 我覺得還不錯,有許多好的短語!
Thank you!
Chief Justice Rehnquist, President Carter, President Bush, President Clinton, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, the peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country.With a simple oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.As I begin, I thank President Clinton for his service to our nation.And I thank Vice President Gore for a contest conducted with spirit and ended with grace.I am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of America's leaders have come before me, and so many will follow.We have a place, all of us, in a long story--a story we continue, but whose end we will not see.It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.It is the American story--a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person was ever born.Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws.And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.Through much of the last century, America's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea.Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along.And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.While many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise, even the justice, of our own country.The ambitions of some Americans are limited by failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of their birth.And sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share a continent, but not a country.We do not accept this, and we will not allow it.Our unity, our union, is the serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation.And this is my solemn pledge: I will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity.I know this is in our reach because we are guided by a power larger than ourselves who creates us equal in His image.And we are confident in principles that unite and lead us onward.小布什出任美國總統(tǒng)的就職演說(二)
America has never been united by blood or birth or soil.We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens.Every child must be taught these principles.Every citizen must uphold them.And every immigrant, by embracing these ideals, makes our country more, not less, American.Today, we affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's promise through civility, courage, compassion and character.America, at its best, matches a commitment to principle with a concern for civility.A civil society demands from each of us good will and respect, fair dealing and forgiveness.Some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because, in a time of peace, the stakes of our debates appear small.But the stakes for America are never small.If our country does not lead the cause of freedom, it will not be led.If we do not turn the hearts of children toward knowledge and character, we will lose their gifts and undermine their idealism.If we permit our economy to drift and decline, the vulnerable will suffer most.We must live up to the calling we share.Civility is not a tactic or a sentiment.It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, of community over chaos.And this commitment, if we keep it, is a way to shared accomplishment.America, at its best, is also courageous.Our national courage has been clear in times of depression and war, when defending common dangers defined our common good.Now we must choose if the example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us.We must show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations.Together, we will reclaim America's schools, before ignorance and apathy claim more young lives.We will reform Social Security and Medicare, sparing our children from struggles we have the power to prevent.And we will reduce taxes, to recover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working Americans.We will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invite challenge.We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century is spared new horrors.The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake: America remains engaged in the world by history and by choice, shaping a balance of power that favors freedom.We will defend our allies and our interests.We will show purpose without arrogance.We will meet aggression and bad faith with resolve and strength.And to all nations, we will speak for the values that gave our nation birth.America, at its best, is compassionate.In the quiet of American conscience, we know that deep, persistent poverty is unworthy of our nation's promise.And whatever our views of its cause, we can agree that children at risk are not at fault.Abandonment and abuse are not acts of God, they are failures of love.And the proliferation of prisons, however necessary, is no substitute for hope and order in our souls.Where there is suffering, there is duty.Americans in need are not strangers, they are citizens, not problems, but priorities.And all of us are diminished when any are hopeless.Government has great responsibilities for public safety and public health, for civil rights and common schools.Yet compassion is the work of a nation, not just a government.And some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor's touch or a pastor's prayer.Church and charity, synagogue and mosque lend our communities their humanity, and they will have an honored place in our plans and in our laws.Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty, but we can listen to those who do.And I can pledge our nation to a goal: When we see that wounded traveler on the road to Jericho, we will not pass to the other side.America, at its best, is a place where personal responsibility is valued and expected.小布什出任美國總統(tǒng)的就職演說(三)
Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats, it is a call to conscience.And though it requires sacrifice, it brings a deeper fulfillment.We find the fullness of life not only in options, but in commitments.And we find that children and community are the commitments that set us free.Our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom.Sometimes in life we are called to do great things.But as a saint of our times has said, every day we are called to do small things with great love.The most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone.I will live and lead by these principles: to advance my convictions with civility, to pursue the public interest with courage, to speak for greater justice and compassion, to call for responsibility and try to live it as well.In all these ways, I will bring the values of our history to the care of our times.What you do is as important as anything government does.I ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort;to defend needed reforms against easy attacks;to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor.I ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators;citizens, not subjects;responsible citizens, building communities of service and a nation of character.Americans are generous and strong and decent, not because we believe in ourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves.When this spirit of citizenship is missing, no government program can replace it.When this spirit is present, no wrong can stand against it.After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson: “We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong.Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?”
Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration.The years and changes accumulate.But the themes of this day he would know: our nation's grand story of courage and its simple dream of dignity.We are not this story's author, who fills time and eternity with his purpose.Yet his purpose is achieved in our duty, and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another.Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purpose today, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignity of our lives and every life.This work continues.This story goes on.And an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm.God bless you all, and God bless America.

此時此刻,站在這里,我思緒萬千。坦白的說,接過閃耀著激情與光輝的旗幟,接過這沉甸甸的責任與囑托,我的心情復雜而凝重。首先我必須感謝自律會,感謝老師和同學們給予的信任與支持。兩年來,目睹著各部門不斷的開拓與發(fā)展,各項規(guī)章制度的逐漸完善,各個朋友的不斷成熟,我也在其中不斷的成長。與自律會共同走過的每段路途,都在我生命的旅程中留下前進的軌跡。而今天站在這里接受重任,不僅是對我成長的檢驗,更是我對自己的一次挑戰(zhàn)。為此,我可以承諾,對即將為自律會付出的一切,我無怨無悔。
自律會是在學生處的直接領導和正確指導下開展工作的學生組織,是切實為同學服務的團體。我校第七屆自律會是開拓創(chuàng)新不斷進取的一屆,更是取得輝煌成績的一屆。正如源祥主任所說的各項工作和活動,都在進一步的不斷完善,也都取得了優(yōu)秀的成績。對我印象最深的是,自律會的兩個大型活動“社區(qū)文化節(jié)”和“社區(qū)吉尼斯”的成功舉辦,豐富的同學們的社區(qū)生活,同時也為同學們提供了展示自己才藝的舞臺。當然我們的成就不僅只體現(xiàn)在這兩個大型活動上,各部門開展的各項日常工作和活動都是非常有意義的,就如:督導部的查違規(guī)電器減輕了社區(qū)的安全隱患、管理部的衛(wèi)生檢查促進了社區(qū)的美化、權(quán)益部的3.15活動提高了同學們的維權(quán)意識、社區(qū)生活報的文章豐富了同學們的精神文化生活,等等。眼前的成就都是從各部
門平凡的日常工作中取得,是所有第七屆成員共同努力地結(jié)果。
當然在取得以上成績的同時,由于時間有限和其他客觀原因,自律會在發(fā)展的道路中也存在著一些問題。剛才源祥主任已經(jīng)說了很多了,我這里在強調(diào)三點。1自律會各部門在工作的交流與合作還有所不足。2各部門成員在工作職責不夠明確,考核制度不夠完善,致使部門成員在工做中缺少準則等。3由于我們的工作性質(zhì),很多工作不被同學理解,造成成員們的工作激情有所減弱。
前人優(yōu)秀的方面我們需要傳承與發(fā)揚,不足的地方我們需要改善與創(chuàng)新,針對以上存在的問題,新學年我打算采取以下措施:1通過各種方法增強各部門的各項交流,比如校自律會各部門座談交流會、趣味小互動、友誼拔河賽等等 2通過對考核制度的完善,加強對自律會全體干部、委員的考核,調(diào)動大家的積極性,讓日后的工作做到有據(jù)可依。3在做好本職工作的同時,做好各項宣傳,將我們的工作與同學們形成互動,努力一同建設和諧社區(qū)4還有其他的不足在新學年的工作中,我會用我的行動逐一做好。
自律會是把神圣火炬,我們每個人都是火炬手。接下本屆自律會承前啟后的一棒,新的團隊,新的機遇,新的挑戰(zhàn),我深知肩上的任務之重。我可以并希望大家也能充分預見到,在今后的工作中,我們將面臨各種壓力與挑戰(zhàn),我們必須有魄力、有信心、有步驟地一一克服。壓力很大,但我們永不放棄超越。每個人的力道雖然微薄,但自律會集體的能量是巨大的。
“聚是一團火,散是滿天星。”面對如此優(yōu)秀、團結(jié)的隊伍,我不必再說多么美好的誓言。‘低調(diào)做人,高調(diào)做事’,這是我欣賞的一句話,也將成為我對自律會的詮釋。今晚此刻我有一個夢想,希望在座的新一屆自律會成員、特別是10級的新生,你們是自律會的明天,是自律會的未來。我相信通過我們的努力,在自律會這個溫暖的大家庭中,我們可以繼續(xù)不斷完善自己、磨練自己、施展自己。我們將一道盡自己的智慧與力量去拼搏、去奮斗,去爭取一顆平常心,一步一個腳印地完成蛻去稚嫩、走向成熟的心路歷程,做好我們自律會。
再次感謝學生處領導對我們的栽培,感謝同學們對我們的信任,我們不會辜負大家的厚望。我們會用自己的行動,讓你們看到一個嶄新的自律會。謝謝!
第五篇:就職演講
尊敬的各位領導,老師,親愛的同學們:
大家晚上好!很榮幸能站在這里參加管院學生會的就職演講,更要感謝大家對我的支持和信任,謝謝大家!首先,做一下自我介紹,我叫房宏揚,來自于09級工程管理1班,很榮幸擔任實踐部部長。
實踐部是一個充滿了激情與挑戰(zhàn)的展現(xiàn)自己的平臺。讓同學們在實踐中學習,在實踐中成長,在實踐中鍛煉自己,在努力與堅持之后更加成熟。實踐部是同學們參加各項實踐活動的窗口,負責學生會的保障工作及開展實踐活動,是一個旨在加強學生與社會交流、豐富廣大學生課余生活的職能部門。
俗話講,“沒有金剛鉆,不攬瓷器活”,我相信今天上臺的各位都是各部的佼佼者,對于我而言,長達一年的實踐部的工作經(jīng)歷,使我對實踐部的各項工作得到了進一步的了解,能力也得到了很大的提高,但是人的能力要在充足的空間下,才能充分的發(fā)揮,否則將會“駢死與槽櫪之間”所以我希望自己站在更高的位置上,看的更遠些,發(fā)揮更大的作用,去帶領實踐部,把實踐部的工作搞的更好更出色。
我將從以下幾方面開展我的工作:
一,抓住根本,經(jīng)常搞一些與實踐有關(guān)的各類活動,讓每一位同學都參與到實踐活動中,真正的去體驗實踐活動所帶來的樂趣,另外要向同學們大力宣傳實踐活動所帶來的好處,增加同學們的積極性。
二,挖掘部門中各干事潛力,讓每一位學生會的干事都參與到活動中,真正實現(xiàn)鍛煉到每一位干事的目標.多舉辦一些活動,使我們部承擔的各項活動,擴大規(guī)模,以提高我們部門在全院的影響力.三,發(fā)揮本部特色,加強與其他部的聯(lián)系共同搞好學生工作。
我將努力加強自身修養(yǎng),努力提高完善自身素質(zhì),我將時時要求自己待人正直,公正做事,時時要求自己,嚴以律己,寬以待人,我要力爭學生干部的職責與個人品德同時到位。
憑借一年以來在學生會的工作經(jīng)驗,憑借我對實踐部工作的熱情,我確信自己一定能勝任實踐部部長一職
最后,我真誠的希望大家,相信我,支持我,賦予我這次展示才能的機會。
謝謝大家!
