I was one of the only kids in college who had a reason to go to the P.O. box at the end of the day, and that was mainly because my mother has never believed in email, in Facebook, in texting or cell phones in general. And so while other kids were BBM-ing their parents, I was literally waiting by the mailbox to get a letter from home to see how the weekend had gone, which was a little frustrating when Grandma was in the hospital, but I was just looking for some sort of scribble, some unkempt cursive from my mother.

And so when I moved to New York City after college and got completely sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of at the time. I wrote those same kinds of letters that my mother had written me for strangers, and tucked them all throughout the city, dozens and dozens of them. I left them everywhere, in cafes and in libraries, at the U.N., everywhere. I blogged about those letters and the days when they were necessary, and I posed a kind of crazy promise to the Internet: that if you asked me for a hand-written letter, I would write you one, no questions asked. Overnight, my inbox morphed into this harbor of heartbreak -- a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied in rural Kansas, all asking me, a 22-year-old girl who barely even knew her own coffee order, to write them a love letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox.

Well, today I fuel a global organization that is fueled by those trips to the mailbox, fueled by the ways in which we can harness social media like never before to write and mail strangers letters when they need them most, but most of all, fueled by crates of mail like this one, my trusty mail crate, filled with the scriptings of ordinary people, strangers writing letters to other strangers not because they're ever going to meet and laugh over a cup of coffee, but because they have found one another by way of letter-writing.

But, you know, the thing that always gets me about these letters is that most of them have been written by people that have never known themselves loved on a piece of paper. They could not tell you about the ink of their own love letters. They're the ones from my generation, the ones of us that have grown up into a world where everything is paperless, and where some of our best conversations have happened upon a screen. We have learned to diary our pain onto Facebook, and we speak swiftly in 140 characters or less.

But what if it's not about efficiency this time? I was on the subway yesterday with this mail crate, which is a conversation starter, let me tell you. If you ever need one, just carry one of these. (Laughter) And a man just stared at me, and he was like, "Well, why don't you use the Internet?" And I thought, "Well, sir, I am not a strategist, nor am I specialist. I am merely a storyteller." And so I could tell you about a woman whose husband has just come home from Afghanistan, and she is having a hard time unearthing this thing called conversation, and so she tucks love letters throughout the house as a way to say, "Come back to me. Find me when you can." Or a girl who decides that she is going to leave love letters around her campus in Dubuque, Iowa, only to find her efforts ripple-effected the next day when she walks out onto the quad and finds love letters hanging from the trees, tucked in the bushes and the benches. Or the man who decides that he is going to take his life, uses Facebook as a way to say goodbye to friends and family. Well, tonight he sleeps safely with a stack of letters just like this one tucked beneath his pillow, scripted by strangers who were there for him when.

These are the kinds of stories that convinced me that letter-writing will never again need to flip back her hair and talk about efficiency, because she is an art form now, all the parts of her, the signing, the scripting, the mailing, the doodles in the margins. The mere fact that somebody would even just sit down, pull out a piece of paper and think about someone the whole way through, with an intention that is so much harder to unearth when the browser is up and the iPhone is pinging and we've got six conversations rolling in at once, that is an art form that does not fall down to the Goliath of "get faster," no matter how many social networks we might join. We still clutch close these letters to our chest, to the words that speak louder than loud, when we turn pages into palettes to say the things that we have needed to say, the words that we have needed to write, to sisters and brothers and even to strangers, for far too long. Thank you. (Applause) (Applause)

I was born in an ordinary family, but I never feel lacking anything in mylife. I receive love from my family. When I meet troubles, they support mewithout hesitation. The strong connection of kinship provides me the great powerto move on.

Chinese people pay special attention to the family reunion. No matter how faraway they are, the family members will come home and have big dinner ontraditional festivals. The meal means so much for everyone. People enjoy themoment to have communication with each other and strengthen the relationship.

With the family’s support, we will be a strong person, no matter how hard thelife is. When we meet difficulties, it is natural for us to think about ourfamilies, as they give us the motivation to get over the hard time. If we aretired, just go home and talk to our parents, then all the annoyances will beforgotten and they mean nothing to you compared to the kinship.

Lots of people lose hope at the so-called 11th hour1. In sports terms, we say that they lose hope just before the finishing line. They don’t think that they can be winners in life, but the truth is they can.

The 11th hour is the point when most people feel the pain. It is an important moment that decides whether you succeed or not. Champions always put in extra effort to become winners and succeed. Those who don’t put in extra effort leave the race with nothing. All they need to win the race is a little extra effort at that last point. This is the difference between winners and losers.

I know you have the ability to be a champion. The race will not be easy, but it can be won. You need to put in extra effort when trying to achieve your goal. Just do a little bit more. This is what will separate you from others who seek to be where you are. When you want to give up or slow down because you feel tired, try to keep on going until you reach the finishing line. You can do it because you still have strength within you.

This picture tells us the attitude of some people towards safety problems. Since they have the one-sided view towards the safety problems, they ignore these problems in our real life. They are just like the blind men in the story of "The Blind Men and the Elephant." In fact, safety problems are everywhere around us.

So the picture shows some people are much worried about their safety problems. But they do not think about the problems in a wise way. They do not want to work out some effective ways to solve these problems. They just only care about their own problems blindly. But, in fact, what they are doing is very dangerous to their safety because, as the picture tells us, coconuts on the coconut tree may fall down anytime and hurt them.

In my opinion, they are very near-sighted and their behavior is foolish. We should take everything into account when we are thinking and doing. We should learn how to analyze the concrete problems in a concrete way. At the same time, we should do something to make our environment safe. When something bad happens, we should take some effective measures to reduce the harm or damage to the minimum. Also we should launch some campaigns to raise people's awareness to safety. We should make some laws to protect people and their property from the harm and loss.

One of the most popular sentences online states that “remember...always act like you ‘re wearing an invisible crown.”What the saying indicates is the importance of confidence，an attitude that we should take toward our life.

It’s generally accepted that confidence plays a very vital role in one’s life. But do you really know what dose self-confidence mean? Well，it means that you have strong belief that you can do things and you will succeed in the end. If you want to do something well，you must have faith in yourself. Just like the old saying goes，confidence in yourself is the first step on the road to success. Otherwise，you may hardly to do anything right. Some people love to complain how incapable they are or how difficult their tasks are，they never think about the problem in themselves，which is lack of confidence. If they fail，they will refuse to have another try. Then they will never ever have the chance to overcome difficulties.

May be destined to a person's character，it is not easy to change. But if everyone into confident on their own elements，their life will become more colorful，more open. You may ask why you are confident? I think: confidence + opportunity = success. So self-confidence is indispensable auxiliary conditions. Everyone thinks oneself from birth，fate dominate everything，all want to follow the path of destiny. If you have such idea，may be you are wrong. Destiny is master in your hand，opportunity is in your side. The you find place，it did not work. Don't let the chance to run out in front of you，the first to catch the opportunities，of course. However，get the opportunities，of course，is a good thing. But people have the opportunity to don't you will achieve success. Some people often suffer from failure tripping，overwhelm be heavy setbacks，let these people thought he was a mediocre person，chance on them. Success will become very slim. So have the opportunity is important，the most important thing is that you have confidence. Even if you get upset about my setbacks，as long as you have a good mood，have full confidence in myself. Believe that failure and frustration on you again，can also be solved. So self-confidence is very important for a person，even if you don't have too much talent，have the confidence you have into a big step away from success than others. Albert Einstein said，confidence is to take the first step to success. So people should have confidence，also need confidence in life.

In a word，as a saying says，” Make the most of yourself，for that is all there is of you. "Confidence for us is an indispensable part of our life.

Smoking is not as commonplace and is subject to restrictions in most public places. Before smoking, the best policy is to ask if anyone minds, or wait to see if others smoke. Restaurants often have a section where smoking is permitted; many hotels designate rooms as smoking and non-smoking.

A handshake is the customary greeting for both men and women, although you should wait to see if the woman offers her hand.

Apart from greeting close family members or friends, Americans tend to refrain from greetings that involve hugging and other close physical contact. For the most part, they are unreceptive to being touched during conversation and other social situations.

The standard space between you and your conversation partner should be about two feet. Most U.S. executives will be uncomfortable standing at a closer distance.

Direct eye contact conveys that you are sincere, although it should not be too intense. Certain ethnic groups will look away to show respect.

Friends or acquaintances of the same sex generally do not hold hands.

To point, you may use the index finger, although it's impolite to point at another person.

To beckon someone, wave either all the fingers or just the index finger in a scooping motion, with the palm facing up.

To show approval, there are two common gestures: the “O.K.” sign, formed by making a circle of the thumb and index finger, and the “thumbs up” sign, formed by making a fist and pointing the thumb upward.

Dear teachers and students：

hello everyone!

Dream is ideal, ideal is desire. I think dreams are the purest, most beautiful, most lovely and most appreciated thing in people's hearts. In this way, my dream also has unlimited value, so my task is to pursue and realize the purest thing in my heart.

My dream is to help others and make them happy. This dream is really small. Compared with other people's police and doctors, it is just a small sand submerged in the desert. But I am willing to be a volunteer. As the saying goes: help others and be happy yourself. After all, through my unremitting efforts, my sand will slowly converge and become a desert larger than the Sahara desert.

Of course, dreams are like this. Let people strive to pursue them, whether they are big or small. My dream is so small, small and insignificant, but it makes me full of blood, pursue it all the time, and make me eager to realize it. Maybe that's the dream.

I am keen to pursue my dreams. Although I have encountered many difficulties on the way to pursue my dreams, as long as I actively deal with them, what can't be resolved?

Let's sing the poem of He Qifang: I am full of ideals and desires for life. With this attitude to meet the future, success may be waving to you.

Thank you!

This type of negative thought that can apply to many categories.

Maybe you don't think you're a good enough mother or good at a sport. Even if you find yourself lacking in something, there's no need to keep repeating it to yourself. The human brain is an incredible thing. Be inspired by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, Harvard-trained neuroscientist who suffered a stroke that left her unable to walk, read, write, talk, or remember her previous life. Dr. Taylor took eight years to recover and has since then written a best-selling book about her experience and appeared on Oprah.

Keep on working toward something, and watch the leaps and bounds you'll make.

As time goes by, people are being busier and busier with working, such as signing their contracts, meeting their customers, drawing up the balance sheets of their companies and so on. In this circumstance, people forget our most excellent skill--smile.

There are a great many kinds of power of smile. First of all, common touch can be showed by a kind smile. Imagine that you go to a company to attend an audition. With a confident smile, you are more likely to answer the question better. Furthermore, smile can eliminate angry. As a philosopher said, smile before you begin to get angry. The last but not the least, it reflects calm of a person when he is in danger or in trouble.

The beneficial aspects cannot be stated completely in this passage. But you can understand its power when you smile.

Honorable Judges, fellow students:

Good afternoon!

Recently, ther is a heated debate in our society. The college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at

extraordinary places. But will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? Will we be able to better the lives of others? Will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country?

The cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort. But the cynics are wrong. The college students I see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. We help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money.

The cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; and we neglect the need for character cultivation. But again, the cynics are wrong. We care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth. Last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.

As college students, we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives. We all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith, each will profoundly impact our future, or even the future of our country. I believe in all my fellow classmates. Though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish. I believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities. We are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks, and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place. I believe

As a popular saying goes, "Time is money." But does time definitely mean money? I don't think so. First of all, time is more precious than money. When money is spent, you can earn it back if you want to. However,when time is gone, it will never come back. To some extent, time is priceless. Second, not all time can be turned into money in the end. Some persons are idling all the time. Their time is just for wasting, not for earning money. They will end in nothing at last. So be sure to remember that time can be turned into money only with hard work involved in it.

hello everyone!

I have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted，every hill and mountain shall be made low，the rough places will be made plain，and the crooked places will be made straight，and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed，and all flesh shall see it together.

Wow，what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King. But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up，and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.

However，we meed dreams. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great.

I Am Tripping My Elephant Here

Once upon a time, a weenie ant was walking on his way. As he was walking, suddenly he felt the ground shaking terribly. He looked around with his paranoid eyes and saw an elephant walking right behind him. Quickly, the little ant covered himself with dirt, but one leg was unfortunately left out. A sparrow saw everything, so she flew down with the purpose of teasing the ant: “Hey, chicken! Watch out your leg, it’s out!” The ant felt embarrassed at first but then calmly responded: “ Shi?I am going to trip that elephant.”

Right now, I’m standing on this glamorous stage. But everything here reminds me of is a not so fun memory. Around this time last year I was in Nanjing competing in another speech contest. That was the first time for me to be in such a large event. Of course the pressure I was under was immense too. After a sleepless and stressful night, I went onto that stage without the feeling in my legs. That speech turned out to be horrible. I don’t remember how I get down from there, but I do remember afterwards I just wanted to find a hole to hide in just like the ant in the story. Back at my school, it took a long time for me to recover. Thanks to all the help I got from my special friends. My confidence was restored. After rounds of giving speeches and answering tough questions, I am here today. From all that I’ve been through I’ve learned that a good future is based on a forgotten past, if I want my life to go on well I have to let go of my past failure. So today, with out fear, I am tripping my elephant again.
