My Understanding of Innovation
Good afternoon everybody. I’m Alison from GAMI. It’s my honour to stand here to share my understanding of innovation.
About innovation，what comes to your mind firstly ? As for me, most innovation shines our lives in the long process of humanhistory. Just imagine ten million years ago, what are our ancestors’ lifestyles? They must hunt animals or pick the roots and leaves for food laboriously with si-mp-le tools ; They have to roar with each other to communicate in a long distance; Their transportation basically rely on walking. In short, their lives are hard, si-mp-le, even a little boring. However, taking a look at our lives today! We can order KFC at home , our food is more easily and diversifiedly to be acquired; we can get in touch with our friends anywhere at anytime by telephone , E-mail andWeChat! Our vehicles include buses ,cars, planes and so on, it becames so easy to reach the destination. So how did these happen? Those changes are all owing to the countless innovation. It makes our lives become more convenient, comfortable and colorful.
But in today’s modern life , don’t we need to innovate? No no, let’s have a look at the problems we are facing: air pollution, traffic jam, waste of resources. Those are related to our survival. Maybe we can make a huge machine to filter the polluted , or invent a car which not only can drive along the road, but also can fly in the sky; or one day we synthesis super energy materials, we would never relay on traditional resources any more. Are those ideas too exaggerated? Who knows? Just as hundreds years ago, nobody can imagine we can fly by plane. Time will tell you the truth Edward, a famous psychologists, said: Without innovation, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns. Therefore, innovation is an eternal topic for people, countries and societies! That’s all, thank u !
What we cannot afford to lose
We cannot lose innovation
There is a wonderful word which expresses the most original motions and desires among human-beings. With solving any kind of imperfections, our world has moved ahead. This is the word “innovation” that we cannot afford to lose.
We chicaned every detail of the innovation. Thousands years before, we created fire when we took a stone to knock another one. Since Han Dynasty, four great inventions had been created and it is one of the greatest signs that China become to the ancient civilized country. And nowadays, thousands of software, products, architectures and public facilities have upgraded more than that about 100 years ago. So how did these happen? What will you do if you are not satisfied with your tools anymore? What will you do if old mode cannot afford to develop in a company? There is no doubt that we should innovate no matter where we are and what we do. Not because of the design itself, but actually for its intended purpose.
If there was no Apple, everyone could not imagine how to contact others easily and enjoy a better Internet surfing.
If there was no Microsoft, perhaps we still worked in a dim office and duplicate some troublesome documents. If there was no Newton, and no theory of gravity, maybe I will win the Nobel Prize like Newton rather than just standing here. I have heard that three apple changed the world. The first one seduced Eve. The second one awakened Newton. The third one was in the hands of Steve Jobs. We sort of think the innovation of the world began with apple. I imagine lots of people want to become another Newton or Jobs right now with just one hand to change the world, right? Have the innovation to follow your heart. It somehow already reflects what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Via questioning, we can start to innovate. Via innovating, we can start to create better lives. No innovation, no improvement. No improvement, no success. And no success, no civilization. Now, our time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life! Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice! Don't let yourself down! It is the innovation that we cannot afford to lose!
關於創新的英語演講稿 [篇3]
Dear teachers and students：
Good morning / afternoon / evening! My name is Liu zi yuan. The title of my speech is the relationship between creativity and imagination.
尊敬的老師、同學們大家早上/下午/晚上好!我叫劉子源。我演講的題目是創造力和想象力之間的關係。
There is no creativity without imagination. With the development of the society, creativity becomes more and more important. People could not satisfy with ordinary life. So we need creativity to meet their requirements. We can see significance of the creativity from an example. The smart phone—iphone spread all over the world. That was the creativity of The Apple Inc. It is obvious that it will produce a bigger profit than common manufacturing. But, hao can we acquire creativity?
沒有想象力就沒有創造力。隨着社會的發展，創造力變得越來越重要。人們已經不能滿足於日常生活。所以我們需要不斷的`創新來滿足他們的需求。通過一個例子我們可以知道創造力的意義。蘋果智能手機的使用遍及全世界。這就是蘋果公司的創新。很顯然，這項創新產生了巨大的利潤比起普通的製造業。但是我們怎樣才能獲得創造力？
I think the creativity roots in imagination. Albert Einstein said that imagination is important than knowledge. Because we should creative a thing that is never appeared, we need to image. Use all the things and information around us to think and then go to achieve it. Without the imagination of the Wright brothers , human could not complete the flying dreams. Without the imagination of the Alexander Graham Bell, we could not hear the voice from a distance. If the creativity can make the human progress, imagination will be the road to success. Where the imagination come from? Knowledge ? Experience ? practice? I consider that all of them are indispensable. It is often said that knowledge is power. So we should empower ourselves with knowledge. After that we need to obtain experience form practice. These are the basis, and we must strengthen them to extend our imagination.
我認爲創造力紮根於想象力。愛因斯坦曾經說過，想象力遠遠比知識更重要。因爲我們要創造一個事物，以前從沒有出現過的，因此我們需要想象。利用我們周圍所有的事物以及信息去想象，然後去完成它。 沒有萊特兄弟的想象力，人類就不能實現飛天的夢想；沒有貝爾的想象力，我們就不能聽到來自遠方的聲音。如果說創造力可以使人進步，那麼想象力就是通向成功的道路。想象力來自哪裏？知識？經驗？還是實踐？我覺得所有這些都是必不可少的。俗語有云：知識就是力量。所以我們首先應該用知識武裝自己，然後我們需要從實踐中獲得經驗。這些都是基礎，我們必須用它們來擴展我們的思維。
As contemporary college students, we must shoulder the responsibility of the future of our motherland. What we need is not only the knowledge of the past, but also is the innovation of a new field. Our thought can not be bound by the old things. We should understand that an excellent nation is always full of creativity. So we must promote our imagination. There is no creativity without imagination.
That’s all, thank you!
作爲一個當代的大學生，我們需要肩負起祖國的未來。我不僅需要舊的知識，而且更要創新新的知識領域。我們的思想不能被舊知識所束縛。我們應該知道，一個優秀的民族永遠是一個具有創新性的名族，所以我們必須提升我們的想象力。因爲沒有想象力就沒有創造力。
演講完畢，謝謝大家！
