A Small Truth to Make Life 100%
Karamay Experimental Middle School Luo Jintao
Good afternoon， my dear friends and the honorable judges。
I’m very glad to be here and give you my speech。 I hope we all can enjoy the time。 Now， today my topic is: “A Small Truth to Make Life 100%”。
As a young English teacher， I have to face different kinds of students and deal with trivial things every day。 Life goes on， but sometimes it’s becoming frustrating and I feel very tired。 How to make my life become better? I’m always seeking for the answer。 Fortunately， when I read a magazine one day， I found the truth to make my life 100%。 Today I would like to share it with you。
Now， my dear friends， let’s do an interesting test together and then you will find the secret by yourself! As we all know， there are 26 alphabets in English， A to Z。 Against them we have the numbers 1% to 26%。 If A is equal to 1%， and B to 2%， and so on， until Z is equal to 26%， then can you guess what can make our life 100%? That is to say， what can make our life perfect?
Some of you may suggest “Money”。 However， after calculating， you’ll find it only comes to 72%。 Now try a few more。 Knowledge? Yes， knowledge is power! But this time it only comes to 96%。 How about love? That only shows at 54%。 Luck does even worse， only at 47%。 Though most of us think this is the most important。
Then what makes 100%? Hard Work? Closer， 98%。 But not exact。 Now， what on earth can make life 100%? Well， every problem has a solution， only if we perhaps change our attitude。 Yes! Only ATTITUDE comes out at 100%。
Many of the gifts we have been given have been distributed unfairly。 We all wish we had the ability of the talented， the money of the rich， and the luck of the beautiful。 But none of these matter。 There is only one thing we all have equally and can always control even in the worst situations。 And that is our attitude。
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it。 Therefore， attitude is the thing that shapes who you are the most。
Attitude is everything。 Now， my dear friends， please give the world a sunshine smile。 Change your attitude and enjoy every minute in your life。
That’s all。 Thank you!
