尊敬的领导、各位老师、亲爱的同学们:大家上午好!今天我讲话的题目是《青春更是一种责任!》英国查尔斯王子曾经说过:“这个世界上有许多你不得不去做的事,这就是责任。”责任不是一个甜美的字眼,它有的仅是岩石般的冷峻。当一个人真正成为社会的一分子时,责任作为一份成年的礼物已不知不觉地落在他的肩上。它是一个你不得不付出一切去呵护的孩子,而它给予你的,往往是灵魂与肉体上的痛苦,这样的一个十字架,我们为什么要背负呢?因为它最终带给你的是人类的珍宝——人格的伟大。20世纪初,一位美国意大利移民曾为人类精神历史写下灿烂光辉的一笔。他叫弗兰克,经过艰苦的创业,他用所有的积蓄开办了一家小银行,但一次银行遭抢劫导致了他不平凡的经历。他破产了,储户失去了存款。当他带着妻子和4个儿女从头开始的时候,他决定偿还那笔天文数字般的存款。所有的人都劝他:“你为什么要这样做呢?这件事你是没有责任的。”但他回答:“是的,在玻璃上也许我没有责任,但在道义上,我有责任,我应该还钱。”偿还的代价是30年艰苦生活。当寄出最后一笔“债务”时,他轻叹:“现在我终于无债一身轻了。”他用一生的辛酸和汗水完成了自己的责任,而给世界留下了一笔真正的财富。
同学们,老师们:新的一学期已经开始了。老师和同学们都带着新年的喜庆来到学校,你应该向老师和同学祝福:新年好!新的一年总让人产生新的希望和想法。为了不让你的新年想法变成空想,希望变成失望;这时候,你需要制定自己新年的学习计划。学校虽然有着详细的作息时间,老师也指导同学们如何听课和做作业;但学校和老师的安排都是对大多数人做出的。全校3千多人,每个班六十多人,每一个同学的学习情况都是有差别的,学生也要根据自己的情况安排好自己的学习。一些成绩好的学生往往都是在学习上有着自己鲜明个性的。你的学习计划至少应该包括学习目标、时间安排、补缺补差。学习目标可以结合每次联考具体制定,对每门学科在年级、班级的名次都确定一个具体的目标。时间安排上要结合自己的习惯合理安排;要把自己的生活安排好,春天也是传染病高发的季节,同学们要加强锻炼,合理安排学习、生活、运动的时间,提高学习的效率。
新加坡是一个通用英语的国家,这个国家的公共场所的各种标语大多是用英文书写。但其中的一些涉及文明礼貌的标语,如“不准随地吐痰”、“禁止吸烟”、“不准进入草坪”等却用中文书写。为什么呢?人家回答:因为有这些不文明行为的多数是中国大陆的游客。为此,到新加坡考察的一位中学校长语重心长地说:不文明行为也是国耻啊!我们学校也经常教育同学们要养成良好的文明习惯,然而遗憾的是,在我们身边,在一部分同学身上,还存在着一些不文明行为。有的同学的养成习惯太差,你看他不是把垃圾放进垃圾桶里,而是随意乱丢。特别是每次开过饭后,餐厅周围垃圾一片,不堪入目!而那些乱扔垃圾的同学竟不以为然地认为“反正有值日的同学打扫,扔了又何妨!”除此之外还有个别同学在教室或走廊上起哄打闹,走路推推搡搡,以至于撞坏门窗;再例如有些同学之间相互讲脏话、粗话,甚至在有了错误被老师批评教育时,不是虚心接受而是无理顶撞老师。如此种种不文明行为与我们学校的文明习惯养成教育背道而驰!
