导语：3月14日是爱因斯坦出生的日子，他凭着无与伦比的创新能力和锲而不舍的钻研精神，最终成为现代物理学的集大成者，在这个饱含创新精神的三月里，Windows3.1和ipad3也走进了千家万户……因此，我班今天演讲的主题为：“坚持，追求和创造”。

“Stop and smell the roses”，大凡做出卓越贡献的人都有一颗善于洞察生活的头脑，他们不会忽视生活中任何一个异常的元素，他们会将这作为难得的机遇，深入研究，从而有所开拓、有所创造。

    总是有一种驱动力促使人们去探究未知世界里的谜团。别涅迪克由一只裂而不碎的烧瓶研制出裂而不碎的安全玻璃，主要得益于他对科学的敏感。达尔文由美洲和欧洲两地生物的异同而提出生物进化论，更得益于他不舍的探索。

总有一个方向促使人们向他发出挑战。奥斯特始终坚信电与磁之间一定存在某种联系，于是他一遍又一遍地闭合切断电源，最终发现了电磁互相转化的原理，也正是借着这个原理才使人们对电磁波有了新的认识和利用。敢于坚守一个方向并努力拼搏的人们往往成为创造的宠儿，因为创造的成果也要感激他们那种咬定青山不放松的奋斗精神。

总是坚信凤凰涅槃之后一切会更加美好。居里夫人凭借着对科学的热爱和生活赐予他的灵感，从沥青中发现了放射性元素镭。虽然她为此付出了美好而宝贵的青春，但她无怨无悔。为了科学，为了创造，纵使红颜变成了白发，但只要有创造性的成果来回报殚精竭虑的付出，也可以无怨无悔矣。

总是坚信有追求就有快乐，有追求就有创造。“杂交水稻之父”袁隆平与助手先后用了六年的时间做了3000多个杂交组合，都未得到满意的杂交品种。凭借着这份执着与追求，他在一块沼泽地里找到了希望，继而开创了震惊世界的第一次“绿色革命”。

总是坚守理想的人没有什么可以阻止他达到创造的高峰。爱迪生说创造是99%的汗水加上1%的灵感。他为世界创造出的光明划破了黑暗的笼罩。他不在意追求中的一次次挫折，他坚信机遇就藏在执着的身后，有坚持不懈的追求就会有成功的创造。

因此，作为中学生的我们之所以有时遇到障碍无法前进，也只是缺少那份坚持不懈的毅力和执着追求的恒心。要是两项兼得，幸运女神就会眷顾垂青，还害怕创造不出成果？（高一1班）

Those who can make a great contribution to society are usually capable of observing. They never ignore anything abnormal. Instead they take it as an once-a-life opportunity to dig deeper which often leads to something new, something creative.

People are motivated to explore the myth. Without Darvin's willpower , he couldn't promote the evolution theory based on his observation of variant creatures between America and Europe.

People a re challenged to reach the top. Rasters was convinced that there was some connection between electricity and magnetism. He found it eventually for his undying effort.

People are made over to believe in tomorrow. Madam Curie found radium out of asphalt. Despite all her lost moments, she had no regret for she never gave up on enthusiasm and inspiration.

People are unstoppable to follow their hearts. Edison came over 1600 failed experiments before succeeding in inventing the bulbs.

So for us students, when we run into obstacles and find no way moving forward, what we should do first and foremost is to find the athletes within ourselves. Let's turn scar into star. Turn zero into hero. Turn lemon into lemonade. Make our hands one hand and know that we can make it through.
