演讲稿
Today I’m going to talk about discover yourself.
Ever since
the accelerated development of human civilization, perpetual scientific
discovery of nature have companied mankind all along the journey. It was by
discovering the around us that human beings have been able to live a more
sophisticated life.
However, as G.K. Chesterton once said “one may
understand the cosmos, but never the ego, the self is more distance than any
star. Thus, a life is a journey of unrelenting offers to discover more of
ourselves. When I was six, I constantly picture myself as an elegant and skilled
pianist rendering Xiao Bang’s nocturnal beautifully on the stage, receiving
award and applause after my performance. However, as I further my piano lessons,
it was hard to be oblivious of my non-gifted skills. Sometimes I couldn’t help
but have this feeling of despair, when I woke up to the reality and discover
that my goal was unrealistic. Brutal but real. It was the first time; I had
discovered that I couldn’t have it at all, when I was twelve. I thought the
coolest job in the entire universe was to be a surgeon. I spent hours and hours
watching the drama Grey's Anatomy and couldn’t help falling in love with the
kind of live those doctor lead on the scream. I was utterly mesmerized by the
scalpel and all those fancy medical terms that use.
However, I stop to
dream about being a surgeon when I discover that it was the idea of being a
surgeon that appeal to me, not what it truly was. As a result, the dream ended
and I discovered some more about myself. This year, I turned sixteen and I could
proudly say I do not dream to be, but ascertain to peruse being a lower in the
future. Since junior high school I had always been awarded the most eloquent
debater in every single debater participated in. I can not only think logically,
but also deliver my thought promptly. My huge interest in philosophy also acts
my reason in whenever I tried to argue with something equivocal. Being aware of
the obstacles and the hardships on the way becoming a great lawyer never panics
me, for the simple reason that I have this faith and passion in what I am
aspiring after. G.K. Chesterton was absolutely correct; the most complicated
part of comprehending the world is the study of somehow smaller world,
ourselves. I subsequently realized that growing up is a process that discover
yourselves. We got to know what we truly are and become who we dream to be. As
we shape ourselves and as we shape of our lives. We gradually become more aware
of limits and potentials, and consequently learn to adjust learn what’s out
there, and by that ladies and gentlemen I’m proud to say that I have discovered
part of myself, sue to discovering today and definitely a lot more in the
future. I would always keep this in embedded in my heart.
Things do not
change, we do!

诸康妮 
诸康妮于2012年毕业于深圳外国语学校
17岁女生通过物理竞赛保送清华大学(深圳中学应艺琳)，与她同龄的另一名几乎全能的“牛人”被哥伦比亚大学录取，深圳中学和深圳外国语学校两名优秀高三女生引起南都记者的关注。她们为何如此优秀，你我不禁要问。
据了解，她们都兴趣广泛、多才多艺，她们都自信、开朗，更重要的，是她们都有一个温馨和睦而民主的家庭:应艺琳的妈妈允许女儿“犯错”，在饭桌上还和她热烈讨论问题；诸康妮的父母在女儿三年级前管教甚严，孩子长大后却实行“放养式”教育，甚至连出国、选择专业等大事都由女儿自己全权做主。“家长一定要给孩子足够的空间，不然会限制孩子的成长，影响他们的独立性。”
诸康妮说。
“全能牛人”诸康妮
动静相宜善规划
◎诸康妮——辩论高手、英语达人，SAT和托福接近满分，学校社团联合会主席、哲学社创始人、校报创始人和模拟联合国主席，会跆拳道、钢琴……
深外的“全明星”
17岁的诸康妮现在是深圳外国语学校的高三生，收到7所美国高校的录取书，她选择了哥伦比亚大学。
思维活跃、语速很快的诸康妮列举自己的活动和“头衔”，还是用了很长一段时间。她是深圳外国语学校辩论队的最佳辩手、社团联合会主席、哲学社的创始人、学校模拟联合会主席、校报创始人和主编。去年她参加21世纪英语全国演讲比赛，得了总冠军，还代表中国参加在英国伦敦举行的世界演讲比赛，今年到印度参加国际模联比赛，获得最佳代表称号。
作为深外A P课程班的高三学生，诸康妮成绩非常好，特别是英语。她的SAT考了2290分，SAT
2考了2380分，这两科的满分是2400分。托福考了117分，满分是120分。现在诸康妮已收到7所美国高校的录取通知书，包括哥伦比亚大学、杜克大学等顶尖大学，乔治·华盛顿大学还承诺给她总额8万美元的奖学金。但她还是选择哥大，在接受哥大校友面试时，他们聊了三个半小时，相谈甚欢。诸康妮还获得跆拳道的红黑带，钢琴7级，喜欢游泳、滑冰和瑜伽，特别钟情哲学。
初一就开始做规划
诸康妮认为自己最大的特点是善于规划。她从小就决定要出国。现在经决定到哥大学习经济和数学专业，辅修哲学。本科毕业后她计划到华尔街的金融机构工作一年，赚够学费后到哈佛大学法学院学法律(转按：3年需要$20+W)，毕业后当律师，“我以后一定会回国，中国在公益法领域是空白，我打算在这方面做些贡献。”
说起自己“善于规划”的特点，其实由来已久。诸康妮说她的父母就是很善于规划的人，家长的言传身教使她从初中一年级开始就会在每个月的月初，写下接下来一个月每天的学习计划，每天晚上睡觉前都会总结当天情况，做好明天细致的规划。
诸康妮说，她接受的是一种“放养式”的教育，在她长大之后，家里不会干涉她任何事情，包括她选择高中、大学，结交朋友，规划自己的学习和就业方向等等，“家长一定要给孩子足够的空间，不然会限制孩子的成长，影响他们的独立性。”但诸康妮强调，家长从小给她灌输精英意识，“把优秀当成一种习惯来培养。”小学三年级之前，为了培养她良好的习惯，父母非常严格，“每天在身边盯着，等我把功课做完才会离开。”当她真的把“严于律己”当做习惯，父母便放手让她自主发展。
哲学可以让人自信
诸康妮是一个动静相宜的人，她觉得平衡很重要。她喜欢滑冰，也喜欢瑜伽，喜欢各种活动，也喜欢静静钻研哲学书。她甚至认为哲学可能让一个人自信。
一个优秀的人，并不是一个全能的人，诸康妮从一件事情感悟到这个道理。中考时，她发现别的同学仰卧起坐可以随便做几十个，可她却怎么做都做不到。她每天晚上练习40分钟，最后做到40次了，但还是不如人意，于是她意识到每个人都有缺憾，要勇于去面对。与人相处时也是如此，她坦言自己在当学生领袖时，有时会比较强势，这个也是一个缺点。(来源:南方都市报

今年17岁的诸康妮好像懂得太多的道理。她喜欢心理学，看了很多佛洛依德的书，但她更钟情的是康德和尼采，她最喜欢看的哲学书是康德的《道德形而上学奠基》，文学方面，她喜欢《呼啸山庄》和《乱世佳人》。
点睛：
诸康妮每个月月初都会列出这一个月的学习计划，每天睡前都要总结，做好第二天的细致计划。父母在她上小学三年级之前，盯得很严格，养成了她很多良好的习惯，之后就是“放养式”教育。

点评
脑子很清晰，懂得去不断地发现认识自己，自信、独立、规划性、自律性很强的优秀女孩，家庭民主、宽松、温馨、给孩子他自己足够成长的空间也很重要。这样的孩子生存适应能力很强，值得我们思考借鉴。
