大家上午好，今天我演讲的题目是：《信念是前进的动力》。

如果说，成功前面有几道必须开启的大门，那么信念就是打开这些大门的其中一把关键钥匙，是我们走向成功的不竭动力。

Good morning, everyone. The topic of my speech today is " faith is the motivation.”

If there are several doors to success, faith is one of the keys to open them. It is an inexhaustible motive force for our success. In order to convince everyone of her research, Mrs. Curie began research on elements.

法国科学家居里夫人在研究新元素时被世人怀疑，硬要居里夫人提取出这样的新元素来证明。要知道这种元素极难提取出来，可居里夫人为了让大家相信她的研究成果，又开始了提取元素的研究。在研究中，居里夫人遇到了许多的困难，可她有着坚定的信念：我一定要让大家知道这种元素的存在。坚持信念的居里夫人，最终收获了成功！

The French scientist Mrs. Curie was suspected by the world when studying new elements. And she was forced to prove it by extracting such new elements. In the study, Mrs. Curie met many difficulties, but she had a firm belief: Be sure to let everyone know the existence of this element. Finally, she succeeded.

《钢铁是怎样炼成的》里面的主人翁保尔柯察金说：“我在自己的一生里也曾经历过被遗弃和背叛的痛苦。可是有一种东西却救了我：我的生活永远是有目的、有意义的，这就是为社会主义而奋斗。”他用一生去兑现了他的每一个承诺，每一个信念。像保尔一般顽强不屈，为了自己一生的信念去拼搏，去努力，那样的人生，是令人尊敬的。相反，坚守不了或是没有信念的人生，是孱弱的，不堪一击的。

Paul, the hero of "How Steel is Made," said: "I have experienced the pain of being abandoned and betrayed in my life. But there is one thing that saves me: my life will always have a purpose and meaning,  and it’s to fight for socialism." He spent his life fulfilling every promise. Like Paul, fight for his faith and work hard. This kind of life is respectable. Otherwise, life without faith is weak.

信念是呼吸的空气，是沙漠中旅人的水源，是我们心中的太阳。坚定的信念与取得成功是分不开的，当我们有了信念，便有了前进的动力，便有了成功的机会。并且，坚定的信念，比成功本身更重要，生命的质量就是来自决不妥协的信念。

亲爱的同学们，11月，我们将迎来本学期的期中单元检测，这对我们所有人来说既是对半个学期以来我们学习成果的检验，也是一次展示我们实力的机会。也许此刻的你，信心满满，也许，此刻的你，有些担忧，但是无论如何，请给自己一个机会，坚定内心的那个永不满足的信念，努力拼搏！相信自己，我们能行！

Faith is like the air we breathe, the water for travelers and the sun in our hearts. It is closely related to success. When we have faith, we have the power to move forward and the chance to succeed. Moreover, a firm belief is more important than success.

Dear students, the midterm exam is coming. It is both a test of what we have learned and a chance for all of us to show our strength. Maybe you are full of confidence at the moment, maybe, you are worried. Anyway, please give yourself a chance and work hard!  Believe in yourself!  we can do it!

作为新时代的少年，祖国未来的接班人，在学习的路上难免会遇到困难和挫折，但只要我们坚守立志成才的信念，把自己的奋斗目标落实到每一次的行动中去。我相信我们会战胜学习道路上的每一个困难，最终成为祖国的栋梁之材！

我的演讲到此结束，谢谢大家！

As a teenager of the new era, the future successor of the motherland  will meet difficulties on the way of learning. As long as we keep our faith and put our goals into every action. I believe that we will overcome every difficulty, and become the pillars of the motherland!

That’s all. Thank you!
