英语绘本演讲《做最好的自己》

i knew it would take sacrifices i knew it would take months and years of blood sweat and tears to reach the grades that i was achieving， but that's how you get to the top five percent no one was doing what i was doing no one was achieving the grades i was achieving as gary vainer chuck used to say to be an anomaly you've got to act like one and that was my mantra if you do exactly what everyone else is doing then by its very definition you will become average and if you're happy with average then so be it that's fine， but i know you're capable of so much more you only have one life it doesn't have to be average make the most of it no one at your university has ever achieved extraordinary grades that didn't have huge obstacles they had to overcome obstacles that every student has obstacles that you're experiencing right now trying to stop you from fulfilling your potential at first it's the motivation and discipline that keeps you going， but the motivation and discipline can only help you short term it's the passion you have within you that keeps you going not just the passion for studying and learning new things， but the passion for improving yourself the passion for striving to become a better person each day it's the passion to building a growth mindset that will help you become phenomenal in the long term and if you know anyone with a growth mindset if you know anyone around you that is focused on pursuing their dreams that is dedicated to becoming the best version of themselves every day you'll probably notice they seem a lot happier they have an optimism about them that other people just don't have and it's something that's so difficult to explain but when you get there you'll know exactly what i mean i was not the smartest of my class or the wealthiest or even the most academic， but my goals were clear i knew exactly what i wanted to achieve i was focused in on that four point out and nothing could take me away from achieving my goal i knew what i to do i knew what was going to take to graduate in the top five percent of the university i knew i needed to study every single night when i got home and when i started to get tired that was the time when i needed to carry on because when i started to get tired i knew at that point most of the people in my class were going to give up and watch tv or watch netflix， but i hadn't come this far just to be average so i kept pushing and kept studying i knew that if i missed even one night it could snowball into two nights three nights four nights everything i did was to take one step closer to achieving my goals i'd wake up at fiveam go straight to the gym i'd be at the library by six thirty before and most people were even awake by the time classes started at nineam i had already been studying for two and a half hours and once classes had finished at fourpm i'd go home eat and get a few hours more studying in before bed it was hard work， but i did what it took。
