Speech: Let me be the sun.

People often say, "The hardest thing to know in the world is yourself." Just as there are no two identical leaves in the world, every individual and every "I" is unique in the world. So who am I? What kind of person am I? What kind of person should I be? This is an eternal topic full of speculation and exploration.

Since the sphinx in ancient Greek mythology put forward a riddle about "man", people began to realize a problem, that is, "know yourself". Knowing yourself can be said to be the first step for a person to go to society and life.

Do you know yourself? Were you surprised when you heard this question? Who can not know themselves? Then please listen to me tell a short story first. The little donkey and the little monkey live in the same owner's house. One day, the little monkey was very excited. He climbed onto the roof of his master's house and jumped up and down. The master praised the little monkey for his dexterity. In order to get the master's praise, the little donkey climbed onto the roof, with great effort, but trampled the master's tile. When the master saw it, he rushed down loudly and beat it again. The little donkey felt very wronged: why can the little monkey go home and get praise, but I can't?

So what's wrong with the little donkey? Its problem is that it doesn't know itself, its ability, character, specialty and identity. In fact, there are quite a few such students on our campus. Many students just learn from others every day, so they should study well. Whether it suits you or not, take it with you. It seems that following the fashion and keeping up with the trend is the coolest, most dazzling and most enjoyable thing: when you see stars wearing fashionable clothes and keeping a personalized hairstyle, you think this can best reflect your personality, so you also make your hair stand upright like a hedgehog; Also put a few eyes in one ear to cool off; Still dressed up in tight short clothes. As we all know, for students, this kind of dressing is like imitation, but in fact ugliness is beauty.

For another example, some students feel very graceful when they watch adults smoking and drinking. In order to show their so-called maturity, they sneak into the toilet and smoke in the corridor, but they don't know that this is also a childish, stupid and harmful practice. Not to mention truancy, surfing the internet and other behaviors, all because they don't know themselves and don't realize their current identity and responsibility. The subconscious thoughts of these people are: "Why can't we do what adults can do?" Because every season of life has its own scenery, you never ask "why can it snow in winter and not in summer?" We are now in the stage of increasing knowledge and health. Developing good living and study habits will be beneficial to life, but a bad habit may lead your life astray.

Other students show lack of self-confidence, lack of initiative and courage in their study and life, dare not try anything, and are always afraid of being laughed at by others for doing something wrong, which is also a sign of not knowing themselves. As the saying goes: "Since God has given talents, let them be employed!"! "Everyone has something special. Roses and peonies have their delicate fragrance; Chrysanthemum and wild lotus also have their charm and fragrance. You don't have to compare with others, you just need to show yourself and be yourself.

Picasso shaped himself with his own brush and left a wise saying to future generations: "You are your own sun." Each of us is our own master, and your life depends on your own writing. No matter you are excellent or ordinary, you should accept yourself. Others may not appreciate you, recognize you, or even discriminate against you and hurt you, but if you have firm beliefs and tenacious self-confidence, no one can beat you. Similarly, setbacks and hardships are the same, and there is nothing for a person with clear self-awareness and clear goals. Therefore, there is only one person who can beat himself at any time-that is yourself; Similarly, only you can save yourself. In other words, only you can be your own sun, illuminate your life and warm your life.

There is an old saying in China that "self-knowledge is the most important thing". Your word is not only precious, but also rare. Therefore, a person who dares to face himself and know himself correctly is valuable, and also a person who can grasp himself well. Knowing yourself is a sign of mature self-awareness; Knowing yourself is the basis of shaping your good personality; Know yourself and you will have your own real life!

Let us use Picasso's famous words to inspire ourselves, let us dominate our own destiny, let us be our own sun, write our own life with our own efforts and create tomorrow's glory!

Thank you!
