Good morning everyone,
Thank you for being here today. It is truly an honor to have the opportunity to address such a distinguished audience. As we gather here today, I am reminded of the words of Eleanor Roosevelt, who once said, "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
Dreams are what drive us, what push us to achieve greatness. They are the sparks that ignite our passions and fuel our ambitions. And it is in this spirit of pursuing our dreams that I stand before you today.
Today, I want to talk to you about the power of dreams and the importance of believing in ourselves. Each and every one of us has dreams, aspirations, and goals that we long to achieve. Whether it's becoming a successful entrepreneur, making a difference in our communities, or simply finding happiness in our personal lives, our dreams hold the key to our future.
But dreams alone are not enough. We must also have the courage to pursue them relentlessly. We must be willing to overcome obstacles, face challenges, and take risks. It is through these experiences that we grow, learn, and ultimately achieve our dreams.
I want to encourage each of you to never lose sight of your dreams. Embrace them, nurture them, and let them guide you towards a future filled with purpose and fulfillment. Remember that the road to success is not always smooth, but with determination and perseverance, anything is possible.
Today, as we embark on this journey together, let us remember that we are not alone. We have the support and encouragement of those around us, and together, we can achieve greatness. Let us be bold, be fearless, and most importantly, believe in ourselves and our dreams.
Thank you once again for being here today. I am excited to share more with you and learn from each other. Let us make this a memorable and inspiring experience. Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Good evening and thank you for joining me tonight. It is a privilege to stand before such an esteemed audience and share my thoughts on a topic that is close to my heart. Today, I want to talk to you about the power of diversity and inclusion.
In today's world, diversity has become a buzzword. We often hear about the importance of diversity in the workplace, in schools, and in society as a whole. But what does diversity truly mean? And why is it so important?
Diversity is not just about race, gender, or age. It is about embracing and celebrating our differences – our different backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and ideas. It is about recognizing that each individual brings something unique to the table, and that by working together, we can create a better and more inclusive world.
Inclusion, on the other hand, is about creating an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered. It is about breaking down barriers and ensuring that no one is left behind. Inclusion is not just a nice-to-have; it is a necessity if we want to foster innovation, creativity, and productivity.
Today, I want to challenge each and every one of you to embrace diversity and inclusion in your own lives. Take the time to listen to others, to learn from their experiences, and to appreciate their perspectives. And most importantly, be an advocate for change. Speak up against discrimination and inequality, and actively work towards creating a more inclusive society.
Remember, diversity and inclusion are not just about meeting quotas or checking boxes. They are about creating a world where everyone has equal opportunities and where everyone's voices are heard. By embracing diversity and inclusion, we can build a society that is stronger, more resilient, and more united.
Thank you once again for being here tonight. I am excited to engage in a meaningful discussion with all of you and learn from your insights. Let us work together to create a future that celebrates diversity and inclusion. Thank you.

英文演讲稿开场白
Opening Statement
mr. chairman, senator thurmond, members of the committee, my name is anita f. hill, and i am a professor of law at the university of oklahoma. i was born on a farm in okmulgee county, oklahoma, in 1956. i am the youngest of 13 children. i had my early education in okmulgee county. my father, albert hill, is a farmer in that area. my mother's name is irma hill. she is also a farmer and a housewife.
my childhood was one of a lot of hard work and not much money, but it was one of solid family affection, as represented by my parents. i was reared in a religious atmosphere in the baptist faith, and i have been a member of the antioch baptist church in tulsa, oklahoma, since 1983. it is a very warm part of my life at the present time.
for my undergraduate work, i went to oklahoma state university and graduated from there in 1977. i am attaching to this statement a copy of my resume for further details of my education.
i graduated from the university with academic honors and proceeded to the yale law school, where i received my jd degree in 1980. upon graduation from law school, i became a practicing lawyer with the washington, dc, firm of ward, hardraker, and ross.
in 1981, i was introduced to now judge thomas by a mutual friend. judge thomas told me that he was anticipating a political appointment, and he asked if i would be interested in working with him. he was, in fact, appointed as assistant secretary of education for civil rights. after he had taken that post, he asked if i would become his assistant, and i accepted that position.
in my early period there, i had two major projects. the first was an article i wrote for judge thomas' signature on the education of minority students. the second was the organization of a seminar on high-risk students which was abandoned because judge thomas transferred to the eeoc where he became the chairman of that office.
during this period at the department of education, my working relationship with judge thomas was positive. i had a good deal of responsibility and independence. i thought he respected my work and that he trusted my judgment. after approximately three months of working there, he asked me to go out socially with him.
what happened next and telling the world about it are the two most difficult things -- experiences of my life. it is only after a great deal of agonizing consideration and sleeplenumber -- a great number of sleeplenights tha(t i amable to talk of these unpleasant matters to anyone but my close friends.
i declined the invitation to go out socially with him and explained to him that i thought it would jeopardize what at the time i considered to be a very good working relationship. i had a normal social life with other men outside of the office. i believed then, as now, that having a social relationship with a person who was supervising my work would be ill-advised. i was very uncomfortable with the idea and told him so.
i thought that by saying no and explaining my reasons my employer would abandon his social suggestions. however, to my regret, in the following few weeks, he continued to ask me out on several occasions. he pressed me to justify my reasons for saying no to him. these incidents took place in his office or mine. they were in the form of private conversations which would not have been overheard by anyone else.
my working relationship became even more strained when judge thomas began to use work situations t
o discuse-x. on these occasions, he would call me into his office for reports on education issues and projects, or he might suggest that, because of the time pressures of his schedule, we go to lunch to a government cafeteria. after a brief discussion of work, he would turn the conversation to a discussion of se-xual matters.his conversations were very vivid. he spoke about acts that he had seen in pornographic films involving such matters as women having se-x with animals and films showing group se-x or rape scenes. he talked about pornographic materials depicting inpiduals with large penises or large breasts involved in various se-x acts. on several occasions, thomas told me graphically of his own se-xual prowess.
because i was extremely uncomfortable talking about se-x with him at all and particularly in such a graphic way, i told him that i did not want to talk about these subjects. i would also try to change the subject to education matters or to nonse-xual personal matters such as his background or his beliefs. my efforts to change the subject were rarely successful.
throughout the period of these conversations, he also from time to time asked me for social engagements. my reaction to these conversations was to avoid them by eliminating opportunities for us to engage in extended conversations. this was difficult because at the time i was his only assistant at the office of education -- or of
fice for civil rights.
