Discover yourself

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen. Today the topic of my speech is "Discover yourself "

I think each people is unique . Everyone is different from others .So I don’t need to envy others，because I think I am the only one in the world! So do you know yourself ?

In the eyes of my parents， I am forever a good kid ! In the eyes of my teachers， I am a hard-working girl ! In the eyes of my friends， I am a happy angle.，because the smile is always on my face ! But what do I think of myself !

In fact , everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages , so we want to develop our strengths . At the same time , we also need to discover our weakness and correct it.Slowly I discovered that I had a lot of good characters , such as kind , cheerful , generous ...and so on.

For example , I used to be a shy girl . I was too timid to speak in front of many people , but now I changed a lot . I often take part in all kinds of

activities ！

Last term, I took part in a Chinese speech contest. I needed to read and play with our partners . It’s the first time for me to act it. At the beginning , I was very nervous . But I didn't want to give it up . So we were ready for the speech carefully ! In the end , we won the first prize . My secret of success is confidence .we have nothing to lose ! so we can try our best .

But life always give us some frustrations and I wasn't always very confident . I always think that others are better than myself . I also have many disadvantages .Sometimes I get into trouble,especially in my study . I study very hard, but sometimes my grades are bad . It made me very upset .I think this is unfair . But I can't give up ,so I work harder and harder .Finally I made great progress by working hard !

Everyone should learn to discover yourself . Please believe in yourself !

I don't care whether I will succeed or not ,but I'm confident to stand here ! Because I'm the best one !

Thank you very much!
