? Ladies and Gentlemen:? Good afternoon. It is my great honor to speak here. The topic I would like to talk about is Innovation, which has stirred the public concern these days. As a proverb says:” Everything perfect at the moment is the result of innovation. So In my point of view it is definitely significant for everything and everyone. Several detailed reasons are as following:

? To begin with, innovation is the shortcut to progress. There is also an old saying from ancient China: “苟日新，日日新，又日新”, which warns us that we must keep a positive attitude towards innovating in order not to be behind others and to be better. It is so reasonable. Is not it? Because everything works like a boat in a river. If you keep innovating, you can go forward. Otherwise, you step back.?

? ? ?Besides, any successful career is driven by innovation. Numerous cases have shown the truth. And I am convinced that the experience of Jack Ma is the best proof. In 1995, Ma Yun decided to quit teaching in universities and set up the Internet in China. At that time, the Internet was just starting in the United States and other developed countries. Even Bill Gates was opposed to the Internet, let alone in China. Most people did not know what it was. Therefore, when he convened a friend to discuss this matter, his friends believed that the Internet could not be realized at all. However, he believed that the Internet would change all aspects of human life, firmly believed that his ideal would be realized, and resolutely embarked on the road of entrepreneurship. After countless difficulties, Alibaba finally achieved great success, and his innovation also promoted the development of China”s? ?e-commerce. Therefore, his success is based on his innovation in business. If one day, someone among us wants to do something great, they should focus on innovation.??

? ? ?Furthermore, innovation promotes individual all-round development. It means, by the way of innovating ourselves, we are more likely to be better members of society. For example, I had been so shy in the past when I communicate with others. But later on, I tried to communicate with different kinds of people. So now I am more confident than before. That is what innovation provides me.?

? ? ? Well, from what I have talked above. Innovation can be called a golden rule for everything, whether for a country, a corporation or ourselves. ? This is the end of my speech and all my ideas are contained.Thank you very much for your listening! ? (440words)
