我的崗位，我的責(zé)任

各位領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，各位評委，同事們大家好：

我是來自生產(chǎn)中控的xx，今天我演講的題目是:我的崗位我的責(zé)任。

責(zé)任是什么，責(zé)任與我們每個人的工作生活密不可分，與企業(yè)的生存發(fā)展密切密切相關(guān)，與國家尊嚴(yán)休戚與共。每個人都要承擔(dān)自己應(yīng)盡的責(zé)任，把單位當(dāng)成自己的家，對單位做出貢獻(xiàn)，具有積極向上、不折不撓、拼搏進(jìn)取、吃苦耐勞、勤奮好學(xué)的精神。只要我們盡到自己應(yīng)盡的責(zé)任，快樂便會在辛苦的付出中快樂便會在辛苦中付出中體現(xiàn)，并贏得他人的尊敬，進(jìn)而受到企業(yè)的重用，從而實現(xiàn)個人的價值。

每個人都有自己的責(zé)任，在社會上我們要履行一個公民的責(zé)任，在家庭中我們要履行作為一名家庭成員的責(zé)任，在公司我們要履行我們的崗位責(zé)任。

作為一名員xx員工，怎樣才能更好的履行好我們的崗位責(zé)任哪？ 首先，在思想上，我們要樹立自己的崗位責(zé)任感，真正的融入崗位中，調(diào)動自己的全部激情，堅持不懈的去做一件事情，認(rèn)真嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)娜プ鍪?，不管工作簡單與否，都要認(rèn)真完成。小到開好每個閥門，大到投好每一批料。工作中認(rèn)真當(dāng)頭不予余力的去做好崗位上的每個環(huán)節(jié)只有這樣，我們才能走到我們事業(yè)的成功，讓我們的生命中充滿成功的愉悅。美國著名演講大師羅素.H.康維爾說:‘‘成功的秘訣無他，凡事都自我要求達(dá)到極致而已’’。這充分說明了在崗位中認(rèn)真負(fù)責(zé)的高度責(zé)任感的重要性。

其次，我們在崗位工作中要培養(yǎng)追求卓越、精益求精的品質(zhì)，在工作崗位上的追求卓越、精益求精。既是對自己工作崗位的負(fù)責(zé)，又是對自己人生的負(fù)責(zé)。

要做追求卓越、精益求精。我們就要去掉敷衍了事的作風(fēng)，下定把崗位工作做到最好的決心。

要做到精益求精，最重要的是我們要把崗位職責(zé)研究透，把工作現(xiàn)狀研究透，在研究怎樣干好這份工作，搞清楚所做工作目前的狀況，存在什么問題，有哪些經(jīng)驗，鉆研進(jìn)去，深入下去，不斷精進(jìn)。力求成為本專業(yè)的第一。正確處理一和三之間的關(guān)系，善于舉一反三，不能舍近求遠(yuǎn)，而立足崗位求作為。只有這樣，我們才能算真正理解我的崗位我的責(zé)任的真正內(nèi)涵。

最后，我們應(yīng)該更好的鍛煉我們的崗位執(zhí)行力。我們首先端正我們的工作態(tài)度，積極聽取上級領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的指導(dǎo)。把崗位責(zé)任當(dāng)成分內(nèi)的事情。專注于所做的工作，全力以赴的做好本職工作，從思想上端正工作態(tài)度，付諸于行動，做好崗位工作，為齊魯?shù)陌l(fā)展做出應(yīng)有的貢獻(xiàn)。只要我們每個人從身邊的一點一滴做起，在平凡的崗位上做出不平凡的工作，擔(dān)負(fù)起自己的崗位責(zé)任，就一定會有我們齊魯?shù)妮x煌明天。

背景介紹：Under great academic pressure, a high school student at a famous school in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, killed his mother at home on February 7, Legal Daily reported.A new term had just started.The student and his mother had an argument about his learning state.Then the boy said: “Mom, I have prepared something for you.Lower your head and close your eyes.”

His mother did so, and he took the prepared dumbbell to pound his mother's head.After smashing two times, he cut the mother's throat with a paper knife.Then he tied his mother's neck using a shoelace and knotted it.He went to school after his mother was confirmed dead, with a quilt covering her body.Being asked by the investigators whether he regretted killing his mother, he casually replied: “I do not regret it.Because I longer need to learn under so much pressure.”(China.org.cn February 24, 2012)

據(jù)《法制日報》報道，河南省鄭州市某高中名校，一名學(xué)生因?qū)W習(xí)壓力大，于2月7日在家中親手殺死了自己的母親。

新學(xué)期伊始，母子倆因?qū)W習(xí)狀態(tài)發(fā)生爭執(zhí)。之后，男生說：“媽，我給你準(zhǔn)備了一樣?xùn)|西，你把頭低下，把眼睛閉上?！?/p>

他的母親照做后，他舉起準(zhǔn)備好的啞鈴砸向母親，砸過兩下，又用裁紙刀在母親喉嚨割了兩下，還用鞋帶纏上母親的脖子并打了結(jié)。確定死亡后，他用被子把母親的尸體蓋住，然后去上學(xué)。

辦案人員問其是否后悔殺死母親時，他隨口答道：“不后悔。我可以不用學(xué)習(xí)了，不用壓力那么大了?！?引入話題As you know,it is a common phenomenon in modern society.An increasing number of students suicide or kill people around them(their families,friends,classmates,even strangers)owing to the so-called pressure from study or society.Just in our school ,there are many cases like that.原因分析：But how could the threatening tragedy happened?As far as I am concerned，there are reasons from three aspects to do with it.Above all,the.They are so any stress no matter how light it is.They communicate less with others and don't know how to relieve their pressure.The second aspect,.Our.And it seems that the score we get in tests is to be the only way togo for further and further education because the certification can appearantly show that we are capable to do the job.(應(yīng)試教育下分?jǐn)?shù)至上的人格扭曲)

And the last aspect,Families put ton children.They are not paying attention to give children but to expect them to make bigger progress next time,which may discourage children.結(jié)束語：Guess what?I had the same kind of thought as the child did in my childhood,but,of course,I didn't put it into practice.You know,just thinking.So,I believe it is up to children themselves.With strong mental power and self-control ability,I think all of these won't have happened.

第三篇：speech演講稿——

品三國之曹操

品三國是不可能不講到曹操的，所謂三國就是魏蜀吳嘛，而魏國的開國皇帝實際上就是曹操。是他死后兒子曹丕稱帝，追認(rèn)他為魏武帝。

曹操這個人在歷史上的名聲不大好，多有罵名啊，客氣的說奸雄，罵難聽點那說是奸賊啊。但是魯迅先生說，曹操其實是一個很有本事的英雄，我稱不上是曹操的同黨啊，但是他這個人，我非常佩服。英雄、奸雄、奸賊，我們該怎么評價這位復(fù)雜的人物呢？

曹操年輕的時候,曾被許劭預(yù)言’治世之能才，亂世之奸雄’,意思是說如果你曹操如果身逢治世，那你就能夠成為一個能臣；如果身逢亂世，那你就是一個奸雄。許劭何許人也?那是有名的鑒定家，當(dāng)時有個習(xí)俗，就是拿你這個人找鑒寶專家給你鑒定鑒定將來有沒前途。

曹操擔(dān)任的第一個官職為洛陽北部蔚，這是一個什么官職呢？洛陽當(dāng)時是東漢王朝的首都，蔚是負(fù)責(zé)軍事和治安的崗位，也就是說曹操擔(dān)任的是副縣級的公安局長，這個公安局長不好當(dāng)啊，為什么呢，大家都知道首都嘛，是大城市啊，都是權(quán)貴，這些權(quán)貴和他們家屬從來都是橫行霸道的，從來就不把王法放在眼里，怎么辦呢？所以得有一個特殊的人，這個人得有很多鬼點子，能夠治住權(quán)貴，膽子又大，誰都不怕，所以說曹操去當(dāng)這個公安局長是非常合適的。

當(dāng)時來了個不怕死的，蹇碩的叔叔蹇圖，蹇碩是什么人，蹇碩是當(dāng)今圣上最寵愛的宦官，權(quán)重一時，炙手可熱，所以他的叔叔也不把什么法令吶衙門吶放在眼里，公然違禁在晚上走，喝醉了就在街上走。當(dāng)時發(fā)布了戒嚴(yán)令，也叫宵禁令，就是晚上是不能在外面走來走去。他不但晚上在外面走而且是喝醉了酒，被曹操手下抓了進(jìn)來，曹操升堂：蹇圖，知罪嗎？蹇圖這個時候大概酒也醒了，哎呀，好像是不是犯了宵禁令哪？曹操說對了，知道怎么懲罰嗎？蹇圖說這個我就不大想得起來了，要不你問問我侄子？曹操說你侄子是誰呀？蹇碩呀！曹操說我不認(rèn)識，我誰也不認(rèn)識，我只認(rèn)得法律，不知道該怎么懲罰吧？本官告訴你，亂棍打死，來啊，打。打死了，就把這個當(dāng)時最牛的宦官的叔叔就在堂下當(dāng)場打死。所以曹操都是盡忠盡責(zé)的。

那我們來分析講下曹操這個人的性格，大家都說曹操這個人為人奸詐，這個不能算數(shù)的，所謂兵不厭詐，總不能自己人就說足智多謀，敵人就說他是奸詐狡猾，實際上都一樣，為了謀取自己的利益，兵不厭詐。第二件事情，都說曹操篡漢，試問王朝為什么一定要姓劉？為什么不能姓曹，說這個姓曹的替代了姓劉的就是奸，這個太說不過去了吧。

新版的三國演義中，曹操的一句華麗麗臺詞：寧肯我負(fù)天下人，不可天下人負(fù)我。是啊，一個人寧肯自己對不起普天下的人，也不能讓天下的人對不起自己，這也太壞了吧，老百姓都討厭曹操，但是這個事情是事實嗎？如果不是事實，那豈不是一樁冤案嗎？這個事情史書上記載了這么一個故事：當(dāng)時曹操因為董卓要迫害他，于是從京城逃了出來，路過一個老朋友家，叫呂伯奢，呂伯奢可以算是曹操的伯父，是曹操父親的故友，呂伯奢么見侄子來訪,那是殺豬宰羊款待啊,親自出去買好酒,吩咐下人磨刀殺豬,分外熱情,但是曹操被曹操聽到了磨刀的聲音,唯恐那些人要害自己,干脆先殺手為強(qiáng),然后把他一家咔嚓殺光了,殺了以后發(fā)現(xiàn)是誤殺,然后凄滄曰,唉,算了算了,殺都?xì)⒘?雖然我錯了,現(xiàn)在也沒有辦法,只能寧肯我辜負(fù)別人,不可以讓別人辜負(fù)我啊.我們從心理學(xué)的角度體察一下這個語境,曹操說這個話是一種自我安慰,自我排解,我也是沒有辦法啊,也是走投無路啊.另一個方面,你想想曹操當(dāng)時是正在被董卓的人通緝罪犯,是一個犯人啊,聽到磨刀聲能不起疑心殺戮,這個叫做誤殺.所以曹操的歹毒是該質(zhì)疑的.再說曹操是奸詐,最能體現(xiàn)他奸詐的例子,是三國有名的以少勝多的官渡之戰(zhàn).講官渡之戰(zhàn)(即興)

曹操又是一個很寬容的人.當(dāng)時曹操和袁紹作戰(zhàn)的時候,打仗不是都講究一個出師有名嘛,于是袁紹找了一個文人叫陳琳,這個陳琳啊,是個筆桿子,下筆千言,洋洋灑灑,從哪罵起呢,從曹操的祖宗罵起,說起這個中國文化啊,一罵人就罵到人家父母親,罵到祖宗八代,還不帶什么臟字,那么后來袁紹敗兵,陳琳做了俘虜,曹操說:陳琳啊,兩軍交戰(zhàn),你發(fā)表個聲討書這很正常,不過罵罵我就算了嘛,你罵我父母干什么.陳琳說:對不起啊,箭在弦上,不得不發(fā).曹操說,好好好,算了算了,你也算是個人才,還做你的筆桿子吧,后來陳琳就成了曹操的筆桿子,所以曹操真的很寬容.陳琳這個故事也體現(xiàn)了曹操很惜才,講到惜才,大家有沒想到關(guān)羽和曹操的故事,當(dāng)年關(guān)羽被曹操所獲,對關(guān)羽那是封侯拜將,關(guān)羽當(dāng)時那可是要房有大宅院,要車有赤兔馬,如此大恩,當(dāng)?shù)弥獎渖性诘臅r候,關(guān)羽念桃園三結(jié)義之情,毅然選擇了回歸劉備集團(tuán),大家贊揚(yáng)關(guān)羽高尚,但是沒有曹操的義,關(guān)羽能回劉備集團(tuán)嗎?不公平啊.如果你以為曹操是個簡單重義的人那你就錯了,曹操的報復(fù)心很強(qiáng),狠毒的人.但凡得罪過他的人

陳宮和曹操的故事(即興)陳宮 字公臺

曹操能夠如此地本色,說明是英雄,而且是大英雄,不過這個英雄很狡猾,因此是個狡猾的英雄,簡稱奸雄.但是這個奸雄呢,又非?？蓯?可愛的奸雄.

第四篇：英語演講稿《speech paper》

·

Thank you!

Chief Justice Rehnquist, president Carter, president Bush，president Clinton, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, the peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country.With a simple oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.As I begin, I thank president Clinton for his service to our nation.And I thank Vice president Gore for a contest conducted with spirit and ended with grace.I am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of America's leaders have come before me, and so many will follow.We have a place, all of us, in a long story--a story we continue, but whose end we will not see.It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer.It is the American story--a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person was ever born.Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws.And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.Through much of the last century, America's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea.Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along.And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.While many of our citizens prosper, others doubt the promise, even the justice, of our own country.The ambitions of some Americans are limited by failing schools and hidden prejudice and the circumstances of their birth.And sometimes our differences run so deep, it seems we share a continent, but not a country.We do not accept this, and we will not allow it.Our unity, our union, is the serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation.And this is my solemn

pledge: I will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity.I know this is in our reach because we are guided by a power larger than our selves who creates us equal in His image.And we are confident in principles that unite and lead us onward.America has never been united by blood or birth or soil.We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens.Every child must be taught these principles.Every citizen must uphold them.And every immigrant, by embracing these ideals, makes our country more, not less, American.Today, we affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's promise through civility, courage, compassion and character.America, at its best, matches a commitment to principle with a concern for civility.A civil society demands from each of us good will and respect, fair dealing and forgiveness.Some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because, in a time of peace, the stakes of our debates appear small.But the stakes for America are never small.If our country does not lead the cause of freedom, it will not be led.If we do not turn the hearts of children toward knowledge and character, we will lose their gifts and undermine their idealism.If we permit our economy to drift and decline, the vulnerable will suffer most.We must live up to the calling we share.Civility is not a tactic or a sentiment.It is the determined choice of trust over cynicism, of community over chaos.And this commitment, if we keep it, is a way to shared accomplishment.America, at its best, is also courageous.Our national courage has been clear in times of depression and war, when defending common dangers defined our common good.Now we must choose if the example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us or condemn us.We must show courage in a time of blessing by confronting problems instead of passing them on to future generations.Together, we will reclaim America's schools, before ignorance and apathy claim more young lives.We will reform Social Security and Medicare, sparing our children from struggles we have the power to prevent.And we will reduce taxes, to recover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working Americans.We will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invite challenge.We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new century is spare

d new horrors.The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake: America remains engaged in the world by history and by choice, shaping a balance of power thatf avors freedom.We will defend our allies and our interests.We will show purpose without arrogance.We will meet aggression and bad faith with resolve and strength.And to all nations, we will speak for the values that gave our nation birth.America, at its best, is compassionate.In the quiet of American conscience, we know that deep, persistent poverty is unworthy of our nation's promise.And whatever our views of its cause, we can agree that children at risk are not at fault.Abandonment and abuse are not acts of God, they are failures of love.And the proliferation of prisons, however necessary, is no substitute for hope and order in our souls.Where there is suffering, there is duty.Americans in need are not strangers, they are citizens, not problems, but priorities.And all of us are diminished when any are hopeless.Government has great responsibilities for public safety and public health, for civil rights and common schools.Yet compassion is the work of a nation, not just a government.And some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor's touch or a pastor's prayer.Church and charity, synagogue and mosque lend our communities their humanity, and they will have an honored place in our plans and in our laws.Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty, but we can listen to those who do.And I can pledge our nation to a goal: When we see that wounded traveler on

the road to Jericho, we will not pass to the other side.America, at its best, is a place where personal responsibility is valued and

expected.Encouraging responsibility is not a search for scapegoats, it is a call to conscience.And though it requires sacrifice, it brings a deeper fulfillment.We find the fullness of life not only in options, but in commitments.And we find that children and community are the commitments that set us free.Our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom.Sometimes in life we are called to do great things.But as a saint of our times has said, every day we are called to do small things with great love.The most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone.I will live and lead by these principles: to advance my convictions with civility, to pursue the public interest with courage, to speak for greater justice and compassion, to call for responsibility and try to live it as well.In all these ways, I will bring the values of our history to the care of our

times.What you do is as important as anything government does.I ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort;to defend needed reforms against easy attacks;to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor.I ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators;citizens, not subjects;responsible citizens, building communities of service and a nation of character.Americans are generous and strong and decent, not because we believe in ourselves, but because we hold beliefs beyond ourselves.When this spirit of citizenship is missing, no government program can replace it.When this spirit is present, no wrong can stand against it.After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman John page wrote to Thomas Jefferson: We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong.Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?

Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration.The yearsand changes accumulate.But the themes of this day he would know: our nation's grand story of courage and its simple dream of dignity.We are not this story's author, who fills time and eternity with his purpose.Yet his purpose is achieved in our duty, and our duty is fulfilled in service to one another.Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purpose today, to make our country more just and generous, to affirm the dignity of our lives and every life.This work continues.This story goes on.And an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm.God bless you all, and God bless America.

第五篇：英語演講稿：Resignation Speech

Good evening: This is the 37th time I have spoken to you from this office, where so many decisions have been made that shape the history of this nation.Each time I have done so to discuss with you some matter that I believe affected the national interest.In all the decisions I have made in my public life I have always tried to do what was best for the nation.Throughout the long and difficult period of Watergate, I have felt it was my duty to persevere--to make every possible effort to complete the term of office to which you elected me.In the past few days, however, it has become evident to me that I no longer have a strong enough political base in the Congress to justify continuing that effort.As long as there was such a base, I felt strongly that it was necessary to see the constitutional process through to its conclusion;that to do otherwise would be unfaithful to the spirit of that deliberately difficult process, and a dangerously destabilizing precedent for the future.But with the disappearance of that base, I now believe that the constitutional purpose has been served.And there is no longer a need for the process to be prolonged.I would have preferred to carry through to the finish whatever the personal agony it would have involved, and my family unanimously urged me to do so.But the interests of the nation must always come before any personal considerations.From the discussions I have had with Congressional and other leaders I have concluded that because of the Watergate matter I might not have the support of the Congress that I would consider necessary to back the very difficult decisions and carry out the duties of this office in the way the interests of the nation will require.I have never been a quitter.To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body.But as President, I must put the interests of America first.America needs a full-time President and a full-time Congress, particularly at this time with problems we face at home and abroad.To continue to fight through the months ahead for my personal vindication would almost totally absorb the time and attention of both the President and the Congress in a period when our entire focus should be on the great issues of peace abroad and prosperity without inflation at home.Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow.Vice President Ford will be sworn in as President at that hour in this office.As I recall the high hopes for America with which we began this second term, I feel a great sadness that I will not be here in this office working on your behalf to achieve those hopes in the next two and a half years.But in turning over direction of the Government to Vice President Ford I know, as I told the nation when I nominated him for that office ten months ago, that the leadership of America would be in good hands.In passing this office to the Vice President, I also do so with the profound sense of the weight of responsibility that will fall on his shoulders tomorrow, and therefore of the understanding, the patience, the cooperation he will need from all Americans.As he assumes that responsibility he will deserve the help and the support of all of us.As we look to the future, the first essential is to begin healing the wounds of this nation.To put the bitterness and divisions of the recent past behind us and to rediscover those shared ideals that lie at the heart of our strength and unity as a great and as a free people.By taking this action, I hope that I will have hastened the start of that process of healing which is so desperately needed in America.I regret deeply any injuries that may have been done in the course of the events that led to this decision.I would say only that if some of my judgments were wrong--and some were wrong--they were made in what I believed at the time to be the best interests of the nation.To those who have stood with me during these past difficult months, to my family, my friends, the many others who joined in supporting my cause because they believed it was right, I will be eternally grateful for your support.And to those who have not felt able to give me your support, let me say I leave with no bitterness toward those who have opposed me, because all of us in the final analysis have been concerned with the good of the country, however our judgments might differ.So let us all now join together in affirming that common commitment and in helping our new President succeed for the benefit of all Americans.I shall leave this office with regret at not completing my term but with gratitude for the privilege of serving as your President for the past five and a half years.These years have been a momentous time in the history of our nation and the world.They have been a time of achievement in which we can all be proud, achievements that represent the shared efforts of the administration, the Congress and the people.But the challenges ahead are equally great.And they, too, will require the support and the efforts of the Congress and the people, working in cooperation with the new Administration.We have ended America's longest war.But in the work of securing a lasting peace in the world, the goals ahead are even more far-reaching and more difficult.We must complete a structure of peace, so that it will be said of this generation--our generation of Americans--by the people of all nations, not only that we ended one war but that we prevented future wars.We have unlocked the doors that for a quarter of a century stood between the United States and the People's Republic of China.We must now insure that the one-quarter of the world's people who live in the People's Republic of China will be and remain, not our enemies, but our friends.In the Middle East, 100 million people in the Arab countries, many of whom have considered us their enemy for nearly 20 years, now look on us as their friends.We must continue to build on that friendship so that peace can settle at last over the Middle East and so that the cradle of civilization will not become its grave.Together with the Soviet Union we have made the crucial breakthroughs that have begun the process of limiting nuclear arms.But, we must set as our goal, not just limiting, but reducing and finally destroying these terrible weapons, so that they cannot destroy civilization.And so that the threat of nuclear war will no longer hang over the world and the people.We have opened a new relation with the Soviet Union.We must continue to develop and expand that new relationship, so that the two strongest nations of the world will live together in cooperation rather than confrontation.Around the world--in Asia, in Africa, in Latin America, in the Middle East--there are millions of people who live in terrible poverty, even starvation.We must keep as our goal turning away from production for war and expanding production for peace so that people everywhere on this earth can at last look forward, in their children's time, if not in our own time, to having the necessities for a decent life.Here, in America, we are fortunate that most of our people have not only the blessings of liberty but also the means to live full and good, and by the world's standards even abundant lives.We must press on, however, toward a goal not only of more and better jobs but of full opportunity for every American, and of what we are striving so hard right now to achieve--prosperity without inflation.For more than a quarter of a century in public life, I have shared in the turbulent history of this evening.I have fought for what I believe in.I have tried, to the best of my ability, to discharge those duties and meet those responsibilities that were entrusted to me.Sometimes I have succeeded.And sometimes I have failed.But always I have taken heart from what Theodore Roosevelt once said about the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again because there is not effort without error and shortcoming, but who does actually strive to do the deed, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumphs of high achievements and with the worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.I pledge to you tonight that as long as I have a breath of life in my body, I shall continue in that spirit.I shall continue to work for the great causes to which I have been dedicated throughout my years as a Congressman, a Senator, Vice President and President, the cause of peace--not just for America but among all nations--prosperity, justice and opportunity for all of our people.There is one cause above all to which I have been devoted and to which I shall always be devoted for as long as I live.When I first took the oath of office as President five and a half years ago, I made this sacred commitment: to consecrate my office, my energies, and all the wisdom I can summon to the cause of peace among nations.I've done my very best in all the days since to be true to that pledge.As a result of these efforts, I am confident that the world is a safer place today, not only for the people of America but for the people of all nations, and that all of our children have a better chance than before of living in peace rather than dying in war.This, more than anything, is what I hoped to achieve when I sought the Presidency.This, more than anything, is what I hope will be my legacy to you, to our country, as I leave the Presidency.To have served in this office is to have felt a very personal sense of kinship with each and every American.In leaving it, I do so with this prayer: May God's grace be with you in all the days ahead.From：sjbzxsp.com/bjbylc/ bxsjbwz.com/hxbylc/ bxsjbwz.com/bjw/ bxsjb32q.com/zyylc/ sjbdgrm.com/mgm/
