【英文演讲稿-一分耕耘,一分收获】Good morning, everyone.

Today, I want to share with you a simple yet powerful saying: "A little effort, a little harvest." In Chinese, this is often translated as “一分耕耘，一分收获”，which means that the more you work, the more you will gain. It’s a timeless truth that applies to all aspects of life — from school to career, from personal growth to relationships.

Let me start by asking you a question: Have you ever noticed how some people seem to achieve great things effortlessly? It might look like they just got lucky or were born with talent. But in reality, behind every success, there is usually a long period of hard work and perseverance. The famous American inventor Thomas Edison once said, “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.” That’s exactly what “一分耕耘，一分收获” means. No matter how talented someone may be, without effort, there is no reward.

In our daily lives, we often see this principle at work. For example, students who study consistently, even when it's not easy, are more likely to perform well in exams. Athletes who train every day, even when they feel tired, are the ones who win competitions. Similarly, in business, those who put in the time to learn, adapt, and improve are the ones who succeed in the long run.

But why is this concept so important? Because it teaches us patience and persistence. In a world that often values quick results, it’s easy to get discouraged when progress seems slow. However, the truth is that real success takes time. Every small step you take today builds the foundation for your future. You don’t have to be perfect or fast — just keep moving forward.

Moreover, this saying also reminds us that effort is not always immediately rewarded. Sometimes, you may work very hard, but the results may not come right away. That’s normal. What matters is that you keep going. As the saying goes, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” So even if your progress is slow, it’s still progress.

In conclusion, “一分耕耘，一分收获” is more than just a saying — it’s a mindset. It encourages us to value hard work, to believe in the process, and to trust that our efforts will eventually pay off. Whether you're chasing a dream, working on a project, or simply trying to improve yourself, remember: the more you put in, the more you will receive.

Thank you.
