上课铃声响过,我早早的坐在位置上等待林老师进教室,这节课是公布考试成绩的时候了。
林老师出现在教室门口,手里拿着一叠试卷,沉甸甸的。老师把试卷发了下来,我一看—82.5分,我的身子不由得颤抖了一下,这张试卷我完全可以考95分以上,我头脑一时恍惚,不知道应该把眼睛往哪看。
我把试卷藏了起来,眼睛死死地看着空无一字的黑板,不禁回想起近段时间的生活:这段时间我太懒了,懒得写作业,懒得听课,懒得翻书,而懒的后果就是成绩直线下降。现在坐在教室里看着窗外,我心里才会有难过和后悔。好怀念以前的生活呀,那时候作业少,每天有的是时间可以无忧无虑的玩耍。哪像现在啊,不能吃零食,不能开电脑,更不能随便地出去散步。
这一节课,我只知道盲目的订正试卷上错误的地方,至于老师的分析,完全没有听进去。下课铃声响了,林老师突然点名让我到她办公室去一趟,走进办公室,林老师泡了一杯菊花茶给我喝,然后问我味道怎样。我皱了皱眉头,觉得挺难喝的。不过我发现干菊花泡在开水里全都散开了,一大朵一大朵悠悠然地浮开,好美。慢慢地又感觉舌头掠过一丝甜味,隐隐约约,不能太刻意去感觉。我把感受告诉了林老师。林老师微笑着点点头,说:“这学习啊,也就想着菊花茶一样。开始是有点苦的,甚至你根本没法看到它之后美丽的摸样,但你还是得努力才能追求到之后的美丽。”
我懂了,学习就像杯中的菊花,要看到它的美丽,是需要水的温度和长时间的浸泡的。失败不也是一种美丽吗?让我静下心好好思考自己错在哪里,使我的成绩像菊花一样绽放!

学习励志演讲稿:成功不见得聪明,失败不见得愚笨
同学们,在这个世界上,在成功者的队伍里面,很多人并不见得很聪明,在失败者的队伍里面很多人并不见得愚笨。其实,有一样东西比聪明的脑袋更重要,那就是人的心灵和意志,一个人的贫穷很大的程度是心灵的贫穷,一个人的成功很大程度是意志的成功!
马加爵事件,大家都知道,他最致命的弱点是什么呢?就是心灵有问题,斗志有问题。在做案前,他花了很多时候很多精力上网查资料:用什么工具杀人最隐蔽,逃跑时走什么路线等等,他都花了很多心思去考虑,但是,整个过程他都没为父母考虑过,马加爵他没有想到,当自己的父母以负罪的心情,给那些被残暴杀害大学生的父母们下跪时,那些老人会操起棍棒就想......——这是心灵也了问题呀!另外,他的意志很薄弱,别人一句话就能把他打-倒,就起了杀人的念头。马加爵很聪明,在大家与同学玩扑克的时候总是赢,他的同学跟他开玩笑,你这小子为人有问题,打扑克总是搞假总是赢牌,所以,大家都不喜欢你,过生日聚会都不想喊你这个为人虚假的人——为了这句话,马加爵就生出杀人的歹心,……
一个婴儿生下来,没有人会问是生下一个__还是一个部长;是生下一个老板还是一个打工仔;是生下一个教授还是一个流浪汉,人们只会问:是个男孩还是个女孩?是个少爷还是个千金?对一个刚生下来的孩子来说,将来的一切都未知数,没有谁知道也不可能知道他将来会成为什么样的人。由此说来,人刚生下都是一样的,要有差别那大体上就只有男女之别。然而,随着时间的推移,环境的改变,学习的艰难,世道的艰辛,人情的冷暖,人们的心灵和意志就会慢慢地发生改变,这样的改变将会导致人与人之间的差距,于是,有些人很成功,有些人很失败;有些人很出色,有些人很平庸;有些人很幸福,有些人很痛苦。你想在这个激烈竞争的社会成为一个很成功、出色、幸福的人,关键在于你有没有一颗永远不冷不死的心!有没有一股不很管是主观因素还是客观因素都打不垮的意志!
在这个美好的下午,让我们听着音乐好好地享受,让我们打开心门,进入我们的心灵世界,与自己的心灵对话。让我们回忆从幼儿园开始回忆,把我们丢失的东西找回来……
人活世上,谁不希望能有作为于社会,回报于家庭,慰藉于自己?
可是,岁月的风霜,世事的艰辛,人情的冷暖,使许许多多的人变得麻木失望,心无爱恨,漠然无情,不思进取,怯于奋争......
这些年来,在你最需要帮助的时候,是谁向你伸出援助之手?在茫茫的人海中,是谁是哪几个人最关心你最疼爱你?你出门在外,是谁总是牵挂着你惦念着你?是谁总是盼着你回家等着你吃饭?在你生病的时候是谁最紧张最着急?在你兴的时候是谁比你更高兴?在你最痛苦的时候又是谁比你更痛苦?在你最失落无助的时候,是谁来安慰你鼓励你?在你最孤独寂寞的时候又是谁来陪伴你?是谁对你的生命影响?在你的心目中谁占的位置最多?
你或许在乡村长大,你们家世世代代都是农民,为了生存为了你也能象别人的孩子一样体体面面地生活、成长,你的爸爸妈妈艰难度日终年劳作,但只要自己的孩子能有书读肯上进,再苦再累他们都心甘情愿无怨无悔。夜幕降临,每当你上教室上晚自习的时候,你爸爸妈妈或许都还没回到家吃晚饭,要是他们离家在外漂泊在外做生意打工捡破烂,也许因为贷不出手工钱未得到身无分文常常不知道晚饭在哪里;当你进入梦乡的进修,你的爸爸妈妈还常常为带来你的学费和为生活一家老小的生活费而发愁,常常整日整夜睡不着觉......他们知道现在的社会要靠本事吃饭,你虽然读了书,可是社会上竞争的人很多饭碗很少,竞争很激烈,孩子能存在能够照顾自己已经是很不容易了,所以他们的后半辈子也不敢对你抱有太大的指望,他们晚年生活也许还得靠他们自己。其实你的爸爸妈妈累死累活无非就是希望自己的孩子能够成人成为对社会有用的人,受人尊敬让人看得起,不白费他们的一番心血!想想你自己,能做到了吗?作为农民或作为民工的爸爸妈妈到他们真正老了实在做不动的时候,他们的生活将没有任何依托,在很大的程度上将要依靠他们的孩子才能度过他们生命中最凄凉的岁月,而倾注了他们一辈子心血又是他们生命中可以依靠的你,能给他们带来什么呢?
你一天天长大,可是你的父母却一天天变老了。你平时有没有看过他们的模样?你有没有仔细打量过他们?他们的模样已经老到什么程度了呢?你知道不知道?他们或许已经变得很老了,由于新陈代谢的缘故,人总会自然变老的,但如果老得太快衰老得太早那就不正常了。这些年来,他们为生活奔奔波波,为工作劳劳碌碌,为孩子忧心忡忡。你或许还常常跟他们顶嘴、吵架,惹他们生气伤心,你的学习又不怎么理想,你的行为总让他们很不放心,他们常常为你将来的前途和出路担忧发愁,他们还能年轻到哪里去?况且他们身上可能还有很多病痛,他们又舍不得上医院看医生,怕检查怕住院,老这么硬撑着,他们的生命有没有危险?他们能活多久?无论如何你都要抽点时间,给自己一个机会好好看一看你的爸爸妈妈!是时候了!

当你开心的时候,你会微笑;当你成功的时候,你会微笑;那么当你难过、委屈、无助甚至是绝望的时候,你是不是也能豁达乐观,泰然处之,微笑着告诉别人:“没事,我很好”!
无论遇到多大的打击与困难,只要你对着镜中的自己笑一笑,再唱首小曲儿,鼓励自己:一切都会好起来的。这时候,你的微笑充满了自信和力量。好像有一种超凡的魔力,从中读出自强与希望。它像阳光一样,可以驱散乌云,把许多令人沮丧,失意的不良情绪一扫而光。在微笑后面有着坚实,巨大的力量,那是一种对生活巨大的热忱与信心。
微笑能带给人快乐,也带给自己快乐,一个懂得知足常乐的人是幸福的。如果人人脸上时常挂着微笑,这种来自于微笑的磁力,能够使许多人的心灵相通、相近。能发出真诚微笑的人,总是乐于帮助别人,愿意分担他人的忧伤,减轻他人的痛苦,也愿与人分享快乐,而这种共同分享的感觉是幸福的;时刻挂着微笑的人是快乐的,也能使别人感到愉快,并能有一种安全感,是成熟、理性的表现。
健康、愉悦的微笑能增进人际关系,使人和睦相处,也是不良心里的一剂良药。微笑能消除郁积的紧张和压力,使人们感到鼓舞,欢愉和情趣盎然。
微笑是一种境界、一种胸怀、一种潇洒,微笑是一种积极向上的乐观态度,一种处变不惊的人生理念,一种高格调的真诚与豁达,一种直面人生的成熟与智慧。记住了,生活是一面镜子,你对她微笑,她就对你微笑!
微笑着,去唱生活的歌谣,不要抱怨生活给予了太多磨难,不必抱怨,生命中太多的曲折。大海如果失去了巨浪的翻滚,就就失去雄辉,沙漠就失去了壮舞,就会失去壮光,人生如果仅去追求两点一线的帆顺,生命就失去了魅力。 微笑着去唱生活的歌谣,把每一次的失败都归结为一次尝试,不去自卑,把每一次成功都想象成一种幸运,不去自傲。就这样,微笑着,弹奏从容的玄乐,去面对挫折,去品味孤独,去沐浴忧伤。 微笑着去唱生活的歌谣。把‘人’字写直写大,活出一种尊严,活出一种力量,不向金钱献眉不向势力背躬。清贫,是一首朴素的歌;平凡,是一行亮丽的诗。微笑着,我们去唱去吟,在平静中红尘飞舞,在孤寂中品世沉浮。 微笑着去唱生活的歌谣。把尘封的心胸敞开,让狭隘自私淡去;把自由的心灵放飞,让豁达宽容回归。这样一个豁然开朗的世界就会在你的眼前打开:蓝天,白云,小桥,流水。潇洒快活的一路过去,鲜花的芳香就会在你的鼻翼醉人的环绕,华丽的彩蝶就会在你身边曼妙的其舞。 微笑着,去唱生活的歌谣。眼泪要为别人的悲伤而流;仁慈,要为善良的心灵而发;同情,给予穷人的贫苦;关怀;温暖给予孤独的凄凉。微笑的我们要用微笑的力量去关照周,去感化周围,去影响周围,直到每一个人脸上都挂起一片不落的灿烂。 是的,就这样,我们微笑着去面对生活带给我们的一切。
在生活中,我们难免有时高兴,有时悲伤,高兴地时候,我们也不必压抑自己的感情,该笑时就笑,让自己充满信心,乐观向上。
俗话说:“笑一笑,十年少,愁一愁,白了头。”因而我们面对生活,应有一种积极乐观的态度。其实,我们度过一天时,心情高兴,一天的时间会逝去,心情愁闷,一天的时间也会逝去,那么为何不高兴地度过每一天呢?
我们遇到挫折时,微笑是成功的起点;遇到烦恼时,微笑是思想上的解脱;心情舒畅时,微笑是愉悦的表现。
当见到久别了的朋友,激动之情难于言表时,微笑便是表达感情的最好方式;当朋友陷于困境时,给他一个微笑,这是对他的最大鼓励;当相互之间产生误会时,给对方一个微笑,便是误会烟消云散的最好方法;当自己遇到挫折时,微笑面对困难,能使自己重新树立生活的信心。
困难没什么大不了,就怕自己不敢面对;挫折也无所谓,就怕自己没了信心,坎坷又如何,只怕自己还未曾尝试。 生活中,艰难困苦,伤心忧郁在所难免,没有人能随便便成功,把握生命里的每一次感动,用真心的笑容,去迎接雨后的彩虹。

关于这场演讲:james cameron的大笔预算(票房更庞大)的电影创造出想象的世界。在这个演讲中,他揭露了自己从小就喜欢奇幻体验的背景:阅读科幻小说,深海潜水,以及这一切如何转变成成功的巨片如《异形二》、《终结者》、《泰坦尼克号》与《阿凡达》。
i grew up on a steady diet of science fiction. in high school i took a bus to school an hour each way every day. and i was always absorbed in a book, science fiction book, which took my mind to other worlds, and satisfied, in a narrative form, this insatiable sense of curiosity that i had.
and you know that curiosity also manifested itself in the fact that whenever i wasn’t in school i was out in the woods, hiking and taking “samples”——frogs and snakes and bugs, and bringing them back, looking at them under the microscope. you know, i was a real science geek. but it was all about trying to understand the world, understand the limits of possibility.
and my love of science fiction actually seemed to mirrored in the world around me, because what was happening, this was in the late’ 60s, we were going to the moon, we were e_ploring the deep oceans. jacques cousteau was coming into our living rooms with his amazing specials that showed us animals and places and a wondrous world that we could never really have previously imagined. so, that seemed to resonate with the whole science fiction part of it.
and i was an artist. i could draw. i could paint. and i found that because there weren’t video games and this saturation of cg movies and all of this imagery in the media landscape, i had to create these images in my head. you know, we all did, as kids having to read a book, and through the author’s description put something on the movie screen in our heads. and so, my response to this was to paint, to draw alien creatures,alien worlds, robots, spaceships, all that stuff. i was endlessly getting busted in math class doodling behind the te_tbook. that was, the creativity had to find its outlet somehow.
and an interesting thing happened——jacques cousteau shows actually got me very e_cited about the fact that there was an alien world right here on earth. i might not really go to an alien world on a spaceship someday. that seemed pretty darn unlikely. but that was a world i could really go to, right here on earth, that was as rich and e_otic as anything that i had imagined from reading these books.
so, i decided i was going to become an e_otic scuba diver at the age of 15. and the only problem with that was that i lived in a little village in canada, 600 miles from the nearest ocean. but i didn’t let that daunt me. i pestered my father until he finally found a scuba class in buffalo, new york, right across the border from where we live. and i actually got certified in a pool in a ymca in the dead of winter in buffalo, new york. and i didn’t see the ocean, a real ocean, for another two years, until we moved to california.
since then, in the intervening 40 years, i’ve spent about 3,000 hours underwater, and 500 hours of that were in submersibles. and i’ve learned that deep ocean environment, and even the shallow ocean, is so rich with amazing life that really is beyond our imagination. nature’s imagination is so boundless compared to our own meager human imagination. i still, to this day, stand in absolute awe of what i see when i make these dives. and my love affair with the ocean is ongoing, and just as strong as it ever was.
but, when i chose a career, as an adult, it was film making. and that seemed to be the best way to reconcile this urge i had to tell stories, with my urges to create images. and i was, as a kid, constantly drawing comic books, and so on. so, film making was the way to put pictures and stories together. and that made sense. and of course the stories that i chose to tell were science fiction stories: terminator, aliens and the abyss. and with the abyss, i was putting together my love of underwater and diving, with film making. so, you know, merging the two passions.
something interesting came out of the abyss, which was that to solve a specific narrative problem on that film, which was to create this kind of liquid water creature, we actually embraced computer generated animation, cg. and this resulted in the first soft-surface character, cg animation that was ever in a movie. and even though the film didn’t make any money, barely broke even, i should say, i witnessed something amazing, which is that the audience, the global audience, was mesmerized by this apparent magic.
you know, it’s arthur clarke’s law that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. they were seeing something magical. and so that got me very e_cited. and i thought, “wow, this is something that needs to be embraced into the cinematic art.” so, with terminator 2, which was my ne_t film, we took that much farther. working with ilm, we created the liquid metal dude in that film. the success hung in the balance on whether that effect would work. and it did. and we created magic again. and we had the same result with an audience. although we did make a little more money on that one.
so, drawing a line through those two dots of e_perience, came to, this is going to be a whole new world, this was a whole new world of creativity for film artists. so, i started a company with stan winston, my good friend stan winston, who is the premier make-up and creature designer at that time, and it was called digital domain. and the concept of the company was that we would leap-frog past the analog processes of optical printers and so on, and we would go right to digital production. and we actually did that and it gave us a competitive advantage for a while.
but we found ourselves lagging in the mid’90s in the creature and character design stuff that we had actually founded the company to do. so, i wrote this piece called avatar, which was meant to absolutely push the envelope of visual effects, of cg effects, beyond, with realistic human emotive characters generated in cg, and the main characters would all be in cg, and the world would be in cg. and the envelope pushed back. and i was told by the folks at my company that we weren’t going to be able to do this for a while.
so, i shelved it, and i made this other movie about a big ship that sinks. you know, i went and pitched it to the studio as romeo and juliet on a ship. it’s going to be this epic romance, passionate film. secretly, what i wanted to do was i wanted to dive to the real wreck of “titanic”. and that’s why i made the movie. and that’s the truth. now, the studio didn’t know that. but i convinced them. i said, “we’re going to dive to the wreck. we’re going to film it for real. we’ll be using it in the opening of the film. it will be really important. it will be a great marketing hook.” and i talked them into funding an e_pedition.
sounds crazy. but this goes back to that theme about your imagination creating a reality. because we actually created a reality where si_ months later i find myself in a russian submersible two and a half miles down in the north atlantic, looking at the real “titanic” through a view port, not a movie, not hd, for real.
now, that blew my mind. and it took a lot of preparation, we had to build cameras and lights and all kinds of things. but, it struck me how much this dive, these deep dives was like a space mission. where it was highly technical, and it required enormous planning. you get in this capsule, you go down to this dark hostile environment where there is no hope of rescue if you can’t get back by yourself. and i thought like, “wow. i am like living in a science fiction movie. this is really cool.”
and so, i really got bitten by the bug of deep ocean e_ploration. of course, the curiosity, the science component of it. it was everything. it was adventure. it was curiosity. it was imagination. and it was an e_perience that hollywood couldn’t give me. because, i could imagine a creature and we could create a visual effect for it. but i couldn’t imagine what i was seeing out that window. as we did some of our subsequent e_peditions i was seeing creatures at hydrothermal vents and sometimes things that i had never seen before, sometimes things that no one had seen before, that actually were not described by science at the time that we saw them and imaged them.
so, i was completely smitten by this, and had to do more. and so, i actually made a kind of curious decision. after the success of titanic, i said, “okay, i’m going to park my day job as a hollywood movie maker, and i’m going to go be a full time e_plorer for a while.” and so, we started planning these e_peditions. and we wound up going to the bismark, and e_ploring it with robotic vehicles. we went back to the “titanic” wreck. we took little bots that we had created that spoolled a fiber optic. and the idea was to go in and do an interior survey of that ship, which had never been done. nobody had ever looked inside the wreck. they didn’t have the means to do it, so we created technology to do it.
so, you know, here i am now, on the deck of “titanic”, sitting in a submersible, and looking out at planks that look much like this, where i knew that the band had played. and i’m flying a little robotic vehicle through the corridor of the ship. when i say, i’m operating it, but my mind is in the vehicle. i felt like i was physically present inside the shipwreck of “titanic”. and it was the most surreal kind of deja vu e_perience i’ve ever had, because i would know before i turned a corner what was going to be there before the lights of the vehicle actually revealed it, because i had walked the set for months when we were making the movie. and the set was based as an e_act replica on the blueprints of the ship.
so, it was this absolutely remarkable e_perience. and it really made me realize that the telepresense e_perience that you actually can have these robotic avatars, then your consciousness is injected into the vehicle, into this other form of e_istence. it was really really quite profound. and may be a little bit of a glimpse as to what might be happening some decades out as we start to have cyborg bodies for e_ploration or for other means in many sort of post-human futures that i can imagine, as a science fiction fan.
so, having done these e_peditions, and really beginning to appreciate what was down there, such as at the deep ocean vents where we had these amazing animals. they are basically aliens right here on earth. they live in an environment of chemosynthesis. they don’t survive on sunlight based system the way we do. and so, you’re seeing animals that are living ne_t to a 500 degree centigrade water plumes. you think they can’t possibly e_ist.
at the same time i was getting very interested in space science as well, again, it’s the science fiction influence, as a kid. and i wound up getting involved with the space community, really involved with nasa, sitting on the nasa advisory board, planning actual space missions, going to russia, going to the pre-cosmonaut biomedical protocols, and all these sorts of things, to actually go and fly to the international space station with our 3d camera systems. and this was fascinating. but what i wound up doing was bringing space scientists with us into the deep. and taking them down so that they had access astrobiologists, planetary scientists, people who were interested in these e_treme environments, taking them down to the vents, and letting them see, and take samples and test instruments, and so on.
so, here we were making documentary films, but actually doing science, and actually doing space science. i’d completely closed the loop between being the science fiction fan, as a kid, and doing this stuff for real. and you know, along the way in this journey of discovery, i learned a lot. i learned a lot about science. but i also learned a lot about leadership. now you think director has got to be a leader, leader of, captain of the ship, and all that sort of thing.
i didn’t really learn about leadership until i did these e_peditions. because i had to, at a certain point, say, “what am i doing out here? why am i doing this? what do i get out of it?” we don’t make money at these damn shows. we barely break even. there is no fame in it. people sort of think i went away between titanic and avatar and was buffing my nails someplace, sitting at the beach. made all these films, made all these documentary films for a very limited audience.
no fame, no glory, no money. what are you doing? you’re doing it for the task itself, for the challenge —— and the ocean is the most challenging environment there is, for the thrill of discovery, and for that strange bond that happens when a small group of people form a tightly knit team. because we would do these things with 10-12 people working for years at a time. sometimes at sea for 2-3 months at a time.
and in that bond, you realize that the most important thing is the respect that you have for them and that they have for you, that you’ve done a task that you can’t e_plain to someone else. when you come back to the shore and you say, “we had to do this, and the fiber optic, and the attentuation, and the this and that, all the technology of it, and the difficulty, the human performance aspects of working at sea, you can’t e_plain it to people. it’s that thing that maybe cops have, or people in combat that have gone through something together and they know they can never e_plain it. creates a bond, creates a bond of respect.
so, when i came back to make my ne_t movie, which was avatar, i tried to apply that same principle of leadership which is that you respect your team, and you earn their respect in return. and it really changed the dynamic. so, here i was again with a small team, in uncharted territory doing avatar, coming up with new technology that didn’t e_ist before. tremendously e_citing. tremendously challenging. and we became a family, over a four and half year period. and it completely changed how i do movies. so, people have commented on how, well, you brought back the ocean organisms and put them on the planet of pandora. to me it was more of a fundamental way of doing business, the process itself, that changed as a result of that.
so, what can we synthesize out of all this? you know, what are the lessons learned? well, i think number one is curiosity. it’s the most powerful thing you own. imagination is a force that can actually manifest a reality. and the respect of your team is more important than all the laurels in the world. i have young film makers come up to me and say, “give me some advice for doing this.” and i say, “don’t put limitations on yourself. other people will do that for you, don’t do it to yourself, and don’t bet against yourself. and take risks.”
nasa has this phrase that they like: “failure is not an option.” but failure has to be an option in art and in e_ploration, because it’s a leap of faith. and no important endeavor that required innovation was done without risk. you have to be willing to take those risks. so, that’s the thought i would leave you with, is that in whatever you’re doing, failure is an option, but fear is not. thank you.
可以失败,不能畏惧
詹姆斯?卡梅隆
ted大会上的演讲
20__年2月
在我成长过程中,科幻小说一直是我的精神食粮。高中时我每天搭巴士上下学,单程要一小时。坐公车时,我总是沉浸在科幻小说里,仿佛被带入另一个世界,书中讲述的一个个故事极大地满足了我无休无止的好奇心。
事实上,在课余时间,我常常在好奇心的驱使下,去徒步旅行,钻进树林去采集“标本”——青蛙、蛇、昆虫之类,把它们带回家,放在显微镜下观察。我是个真正的科学怪人,总是想尽可能的去了解这个世界,去揭示它可能存在的极限。
我非常热爱科幻小说,因为它们似乎就是现实的写照,书中的一切都确实发生在我们身边,60年代末期,人类登上了月球,探索了深海。电影摄影师雅克.格斯特让我们在电视上看到了神奇的海洋生物,向人类展示了从未想象到的动物,竟和奇妙的水下世界。这似乎与科幻小说中的构想遥相呼应。
我还是个画家,能绘画,能创作。那时的我接触不到电视游戏,缺乏登峰造极的cg电影技术,连多媒体领域的素材库都没有,所以我不得不在脑海中臆造这些形象。就像孩子们读书时会想象书中的场景那样,我们读小说时,作者所描绘的影像就会脑海中不断放映。这些影像一出现,我就会把它们画下来,于是我开始画外星人、外星世界、机器人、宇宙飞船等等。老师不止一次在数学课上逮到我在课本后面乱涂乱画,因为我得给我的想象力开启一扇让其肆意奔涌的闸门。
然而一件有趣的事——雅克.格斯特的电视节目的播出,着实让我兴奋不已,我相信地球上就存在一个外星世界。虽然我可能永远无法进入这个世界,因为这确实不现实。但是我能游历水下世界,它就在地球上,富饶又充满异星情调,就像我读了科幻小说后所幻想的那样。
所以15岁时,我决定成为一个潜水员,去探索神秘的海洋。唯一的问题是,我生活在加拿大的一个小山村,距离最近的海也有600英里。但我没有因此气馁,而是缠着父亲,而是缠着父亲,直到他同意让我参加在边境纽约州布法罗市——需要从我家穿过美加国界线——的一个潜水培训班。于是在一个寒冬,我在布法罗基督教青年会的一个泳池里获得了潜水证书。然而,直到两年后,我们全家搬到了加利福尼亚,我才见到了真正的大海,进行真正的潜水。
从那时算起到现在的40年间,我在海底潜水共约3000小时,其中500小时是在潜水艇里度过的。无论是深海还是浅海环境,大海都丰富多彩,充满奥秘,超乎我们想象。比起人类的想象力,自然的想象力更加浩瀚。直到今天,每次下潜时,我仍旧对眼中的海洋世界充满敬畏,而我与大海的不解情缘仍在延续着,上演着。
但成年后,我并没有以潜水为职业,而是选择了电影摄制作为自己的事业。孩提时,我就喜欢画漫画,画很多东西。我喜欢讲故事,画图画,而要把它们结合起来,电影摄制是再合适不过的工作了。电影摄制将图片和故事有机结合,并赋予它们更深刻的意义。当然,我选来拍成电影的都是科幻故事,比如《终结者》、《异型》、《深渊》。 拍摄《深渊》时,我把自己对水下世界的爱、对潜水活动的爱融入其中,把对这两件事的激情融合到了一起。
拍摄《深渊》时,又出现了些有趣的事:我们要塑造一个水状的生物,为了解决这一特效上的问题,我们使用了“计算机生成动画”技术,即cg。电影史上第一个软表面的电脑绘制形象在此技术下诞生了。虽然这部电影没让公司赚到一分钱,还差点亏本,我还是得说,我看到了令人惊奇的一幕,全世界的观众都为这种像魔法一般的新技术神魂颠倒。
根据亚瑟?克拉克定律——任何非常先进的技术,初看都与魔法无异。很多观众都像是看到了神奇的魔法。这让我非常兴奋。我想cg技术也应该用到电影艺术中去。所以,在下一部电影《终结者2》中,我们把这种技术又推进了一步。和工业光魔特效制作公司一起,创造了一个液态金属人。这部电影能否大放异彩就要看特效了。事实证明,特效不负众望。我们又一次施展了魔法,观众们依旧为之疯狂。尽管这部电影还是没让我们没赚到什么钱。
这两次经历是一条分界线,对电影大师们来说,这意味着一个全新的、充满想象与创造的世界即将诞生。于是我和好友斯坦?温斯顿——拍摄前几部电影时的首席特效化妆和角色设计师——创立了“数字领域”公司。这个名字意味着,我们要跳过光学影印模拟制作过程直接进入数字电影制作。实际上,我们也确实是这么做的,这使得我们在一段时间内有了一定的竞争优势。
虽然我们确实已经组建了公司进行造型设计,但在90年代中期,我发现我们有些落后了。 我写了《阿凡达》这部电影,想要以此大力推动视觉效果和cg效果,用cg生成具有真实人类情感的角色,完全用cg诠释主要角色和世界。但这电影不得不延期拍摄,因为公司员工告诉我,我们一时半会还没有能力做到这点。
于是我把《阿凡达》搁到一边,转而制作了另一部电影,这部电影主要描述了一艘巨轮——“泰坦尼克号”——的沉没。 我告诉电影制片方,我把它定位为巨轮上的《罗密欧与朱丽叶》,一部关于爱情的电影,就像罗密欧与朱丽叶的故事一样凄美动人。而实际是因为我想潜入海底寻找真正的“泰坦尼克号”的残骸,所以我才要做这部电影。但制片方并不知道这一真相。为说服他们,我说:“我们要潜入海底,寻找真正的“泰坦尼克号”,这样可以拍摄真实的画面。如果把这个片段用在首映式上,会引起很大的轰动,也会有良好的市场反响的。”我真的说服了制片方组建了一支探险队呢。
虽然这听起来有些疯狂,但这就回到了“想象创造现实”的主题。因为我们确实创造了现实,6个月后,我乘一艘俄罗斯潜艇,在北大西洋2.5英里深的水下,从观察舱里看到了真实的“泰坦尼克号”,不是电影里的,也不是高清屏幕上的,而是真实的“泰坦尼克号”。
《泰坦尼克号》的拍摄着实让我兴奋。我们做了很多准备工作,搭建相机、设置灯光及各种设备。但令我震惊的是,这次深海拍摄就像是一次太空任务,需要尖端的科技和周全的计划。我乘坐潜水艇潜入深海,那里漆黑又充满危险,如果无法靠自己返回水面,其他人也无法开展营救工作。我想:“这就像生活在科幻电影中似的,真是太酷了。”
不过,我真的热衷于海底探险。当然,探求科学的那种好奇心才是最重要的,科学需要冒险,需要好奇心,也需要想象力。只是在好莱坞拍电影是无法体验到这些经历的。我能够想象出一个生物并为它创造出视觉效果。但是透过潜艇窗户看到的那些生物,这是我永远想象不到的。在随后的探险中,我在深海热泉里看到了一些无人见过、无人知晓的生物,实际上,我们看到它们并拍下照片时,它们还没有科学记载。
这一切让我感到非常震撼,我必须做的更多。为了满足自己的好奇心,我做了一个决定。 在《泰坦尼克号》成功后,我决定暂别好莱坞导演这一主业,做一段时间全职探险家。于是我们开始计划一些探险,一行人兴致勃勃的去了俾斯麦海域,在自动探测车帮助下,对这一海域展开了探索。然后我们重回“泰坦尼克号”的残骸we took little bots that we had created that spooled a fiber optic.我们决定进到“泰坦尼克号”内部做一次内部调查,这是史无前例的,从没有人看过沉船内部,因为他们无计可施,然而我们想出了办法。
我坐在潜水艇里,到了“泰坦尼克号”的甲板上,看着这些厚木板,感觉这里很像当年船上的乐队演奏的地方。我操控着自动探测仪在穿廊间穿梭,操作仪器时,我的思想像是跟着它走了。我感觉我自己真的到了泰坦尼克号,这艘遇难船的内部。这种似曾相识的感觉像梦一样,从未有过。假如我想转弯,没等探测器的灯光照到那,我就能知道接下来会看到什么。这是因为还在拍电影的时候,我就在“泰坦尼克号”的模型上工作了数月,而那个模型恰恰是根据它的设计图制作的精确复制品。
这是一次不同寻常的体验。这次远程控制的经历让我清楚的认识到,我们可以把自己的意识注入这些机器化身中,它们是另一种形式上的生命存在。这种体验意义重大。如管中窥豹,可见未来一斑,或许我们马上就能用机器生命体进行科学探索,或者为未来的人类做各种事情,只要是我这个科幻小说迷能想到的。
在这些探险之后,我开始真正欣赏那些海底生物,比如我们在深海热泉所见到的那些神奇生物。这些生物虽生活在地球上,但基本可以称为外星生物。它们生活在一个化学合成的环境中。它们无法像我们一样在太阳为生命基础的体系下生存。在海底,还能看到生活在500摄氏度水汽下的动物。你无法相信它们能在那生存。
与此同时,因为从小受科幻小说影响,我对太空科学也非常有兴趣。我迫不及待的加入了空间社,真正参与到nasa中,同咨询委员会一起,策划真实的太空任务,我们前往俄罗斯,参加前天体生物医学会的研讨等等诸如此类的任务,让宇航员带着3d摄像机进入国际空间站。这令人着迷,但我急切的想让这些太空专家同我们一起潜入深海,天体生物学家,行星专家,都对特殊环境充满兴趣,带他们去深海热泉,观察深海生物,取一些样本,测试仪器等等。
所以我们既是在拍纪录片,也在研究科学,更确切的说是在研究空间科学。i'd completely closed the loop between being the science fiction fan, as a kid, and doing this stuff for real.在探索发现的旅途中,我学到了很多,不仅仅是科学知识,还有领导能力。很多人认为导演就是领导者,像船长或者其他领导者一样。
没进行这些探险以前,我并不真正了解领导力的内涵。因为有时我会问自己,我到底在这干什么呢?为什么要做这些节目? 我从中得到了什么? 我们并没有从这些见鬼的节目中赚到钱,还差点破产。我也没有赚到名声。很多人以为我拍了《泰坦尼克号》、《阿凡达》后,就在沙滩上修磨着指甲,享受生活呢。 其实,我拍了这些电影,这些记录片,只换来了为数不多的观众。
得不到名声,等不到荣耀,也得不到金钱,我问自己,你在做什么呢?其实只是为了任务本身,是为了挑战——海洋就是现在最具挑战性的环境了;是为了探索发现时的惊喜;也为了一个小而紧密的团队所产生的那种不可思议的团队感。我们这10到12人在一起共事多年。有时要在海里一起工作两三个月。
在这个团队中,我发现最重要的东西就是互相尊重。每个人做的工作都无以言表。我回到海边告诉其他人,我们必须这样做,用光学纤维,用这种技术那种技术,各种技术,战胜一切困难,考虑演员在海里的表现。这种互相配合并肩作战的默契是无法言明的,这些事情只有警察或者参加过战斗的人经历后才能明白,他们知道这是无法向他人表达的。我们必须建立起这种默契,建立起互相尊重的默契。
所以,我开始拍摄接下来的电影《阿凡达》时,试着运用了这种领导原则,我尊重我的团队,他们也很尊重我。这让团队变得很有活力。所以,这次我也带了一支小团队,在未经探索的地区拍摄《阿凡达》,创造前所未有的新技术,这非常有意思,也颇具有挑战性。在这四年半多的时间里,我们就像一家人一样。这完全改变了我拍电影的方式。 有人评论说,卡梅隆只是把一些海洋生物放到了潘多拉星球上。但我来说,建立这种互相尊重的默契不仅仅是做商业电影的基本法则,而是过程本身改变了事情的结果。
我能从这些经历中总结出什么,又能学到什么?首先要有好奇心,这是你拥有的最强大的东西;其次要有想象力,这是你展现现实的力量;第三:尊重团队,这是比世界上一切荣誉都更为重要。 有不少年轻电影导演向我讨教成功经验,我告诉他们:“不要作茧自缚。别人会束缚你,但你自己不要作茧自缚。不要说自己不行,要敢于承担风险。”
nasa里流行一句话:“只能成功,不能失败”但是,在艺术领域和探索发现时是允许失败的,因为这是需要运气的。只有冒险,创新,才能成功。你必须愿意承担风险,这就是我给你们的建议,无论你做什么,可以失败,不能畏惧。

每个人都渴望成功,喜欢成功,可是成功带给我们的只是短暂的快乐,而失败带来的却是更加坚定的信念,更大的决心,所以我们应当为失败喝彩。
在一次数学测试中,平常成绩不错的我竟然只考了79分,这使我很苦恼,这不得不说是我学习中的一个大大的失败。眼泪是在所难免的了,可是泪水并不能洗刷失败,失败在我的心里留下了一个深深的痕迹,这是我的头脑里充满了一个念头:我必须得努力,我要创造出更好的成功。我找到了自己失败的原因,从而让自己可以突破成功。
我一直想成功努力着,每当我想要放弃的时候,就会想起这让我流泪的失败,为了不再流泪,不再失败,我一定得加倍努力。
努力最终还是有收获的。在第二次测试中,我获得了一个满分。成功虽然使我很快乐,可是我更加怀念自己在失败后那坚定的信念。“失败乃成功之母”这句话说的太有道理,没有失败给我们带来的痛苦,哪儿会有我们想要成功的信念呢?每一个失败带来的不仅仅是眼泪,在这后面更多的是成功的喜悦!
世界上最可怕的不是失败,而是没有信念。在我们得到了失败,然后又以自己的努力获得了成功,这样的成功会更加有意义,会更加惹人爱,会更加吸引人,因为这样的成功更加快乐!所以让我们一起为失败喝彩吧!

尊敬的老师,亲爱的同学们:
大家好!
每个人都害怕挫折,讨厌失败。但我却要由衷地感谢它。
在我的生活中,经历过无数次失败,令我印象最深的便是自己开始学骑自行车的经历。
那时的我,年幼无知,总以为干什么事都轻而易举。这天,我满心欢喜地和父亲来到村外,迫不及待地让父亲教我骑车。他扶着自行车尾部跟着跑,几趟下来,累得父亲汗水直流。正当我专心踩脚踏板的时候,父亲悄悄地松开了手,我回头发现了,吓了一大跳,顿时感到手忙脚乱,车子倒了,我也摔了个四脚朝天。大人们看了,哈哈大笑。
我站了起来,勇敢的又骑上了车,然后还是父亲扶着自行车尾部跟着跑,突然之间,父亲又悄悄松开了手,这回我早已有准备,眼睛看着前方,手扶好把手把握方向,脚继续踩踏板,咦,车居然没有倒。我心里一阵窃喜,我居然会骑了。我又摔了一跤。大人们看了,笑的更起劲儿了。
我生气地又骑上了车,在父亲的慢慢训练下,我逐渐掌握了骑自行车的技巧,能够顺利稳当地骑着车走了。就这样一边骑着自行车,一边哼着歌,心里感到很高兴。
失败是一块试验石,它可以锻炼人的毅志和能力,使我们更加坚强,更加坚韧,在经历了大风大雨的洗礼之后,我们原本脆弱的心,经过在失败中淬火以后,会变得坚强,我们的毅志也会在无数次的挫折中磨炼得更加顽强,我们的信心了也会随着那份执著更加坚定,更加磅礴。
失败不足畏,我们既然向往辉煌,憧憬成功,那么就勇敢地拥抱失败,真诚地感谢失败。

我们每个人都不愿失败 ,不愿接受失败带来的痛,可这痛也不仅能让你痛,关键在你的态度如何。
今天,我要与大家分享一下对待失败的态度。
失败是成功之母,我们每个人都经历了大大小小失败无数。那么,你是怎样面对失败的呢?我的观点是:笑对失败。
笑对失败,是正确的态度。有些人失败后垂头丧气、埋天怨地,可这又有什么用呢?还不是失败了。为何偏要把它看作失败?难道它不是通往胜利的阶梯吗?老实说,我们都是人,不可能不失败。生活中也没有从不失败的非人类。但我们笑对失败,它也会笑对我们。既然,失败的事实无法选择。那么为何我们不尝试笑对失败呢?
汤姆?克鲁斯,听说吧!他是美国好莱坞巨星,曾被美国《时代周刊》列入“美国伟人”行列的成功人士——却也是从一连串的挫折和失败中走出来的。他出身贫寒,学生时代,他的成绩很糟糕。更糟糕的是他不但是个左撇子,而且有阅读障碍症,被人视为智力低下。在刚出道时,他便因皮肤黑,不英俊而被否定……但他仍自信汇成商学院,对人家说:“看着吧,不出十年我一定会成为好莱坞巨星!”但后来却不一定是一帆风顺。他的荧幕:处子秀仅仅是一个一闪而过且没有一分钱片酬的小角色。其后虽有出演了4部影片,并且其中有部电影他还出演了主角。但却因电影情节不佳和他表演的稚嫩而均告失败。而这一切并未将他击倒。他不断反思和改进自己,终于在1986年的一部描写美国海军战斗机飞行员的影片―――《壮志凌云>;>;中初获成功。
听完故事,你领悟到了吗?失败与成功其实是一种交替。我们就是在失败中不断成功。失败不可怕,我们不要为其担忧。我深信beat会有,但succeed也会有。纵然我们有时屡战屡败,但这样我们才会愈战愈强。
失败与成功好比春暖花开:春去春会再来,花谢花会再开。只要肯坚持,定会转失败为动力去获得成功。
let's smile together!无论何时,就算跌倒也要笑!笑了、乐了,你便拥有了一切!

人从都不会一直成功,也不会一直失败,失败的背后就是成功。是的,我就失败过,但我悟出了一个道理,事情是这样的……
有一次,上科学课,科学老师让我们回家做一个实验,将带子放在盒里,分两组,一组放在没有光的地方,加水,而另一组放在有光的地方,也加水。我用黑豆做了这个实验,豆子慢慢涨大了又裂,最后长出了小白芽,可有一天不幸发生了,由于水放得过过多,水变质了,豆子发了霉菌,我没法再换水,只能听天由命,几天后豆子臭了,虽然可怜,却也在我意料之中,那水都变质了,豆子能好吗?
第二次科学课,同学们拿着各种各样发芽的带子来到学校,我却两手空空,心里很不是滋味,后悔当时放了那么多水!
再后来的实验都是建立在那个实验的基础上的,我当然是别人做2,我做1,别人做3时,我刚刚做2!
我是觉的让豆子们多喝点,就长得快的原则,才多放的水,没想到,水居然放多了!
事情就是这样,生活也是如此,只要尽力,再坚持,愚公也能搬走两座大山,只要我们持之以恒,尽力而为,还有什么困难解决不了吗?

微微一笑,忘掉烦恼;微微一笑,重新出发;微微一笑,拥抱梦想。即使面对失败,只要我们微笑着一路向阳,也能看到曙光就在前方。
微笑,是一株"忘忧草"。人生之路有和风顺水之时,也有狂风暴雨之际,当我们身陷这大起大落之间,应该如何面对?正如开头所言,微微一笑,抛掉所有的痛苦包袱,还自己一身轻松。这时候的微笑,是乐观豁达--想想失败只不过是一次磨炼,咬咬牙拼尽全力与之对抗,用乐观这把利剑披荆斩棘,尽情挥舞,一路向前。微笑着面对一切,你将变得勇敢坚强,脚步也越来越轻松;微笑着面对一切,你会发现一切都在自己的掌控之中,你离成功也越来越近。
微笑,是前进的动力。"失败,对强者是个逗号,对弱者是个句号"。我的人生之章不应该因一次失败而草草结尾,而是应该重新站起去续写更美丽的篇章。亚洲飞人刘翔曾是中国的骄傲,可就在他经历了无数次成功与荣耀之后,失败也无情地踏入了他的生活。20xx年的奥运盛世,亿万人民的等待,祖国的期盼却因刘翔的退赛而黯淡无光。因为严重的腿伤让他辜负了全国甚至全亚洲人民的期望,他为之落泪的报道也见诸极端。对此,这个硬朗的汉子澄清道:"我没有哭,也没有必要哭,这不一定是坏事,我想它或许会转化为好事,成为我人生经历的一部分"。刘翔的释然让人们惊叹,相信他一定会在跑道上重展飞人英姿,成为强者。果然,刘翔不负众望在20xx年各个比赛中独占鳌头,再一次向世界证明了自己。失败,其实并没有那么可怕,笑一笑,没什么事情过不了,微笑着重新站立,失去的只是彷徨和犹豫,赢得的是坚韧与不屈。而与坚韧与不屈相伴相随的往往就是成功。
过去,也许我太追求完美,字典里满写着:冠军、第一、最好......一次比赛的挫败,一场考试的失利,一回表演的失误,都曾让我陷入惆怅的沼泽。越惆怅,越失落;越失落,越痛苦;越痛苦,越挣扎......幸好,老师的一个提醒,书中的一句箴言,让我及时醒悟,"胜败乃兵家常事","没有最好,只有更好","山重水复疑无路,柳暗花明又一村"," 只问耕耘,不问收获"......我开始平静地在又一个起跑线上启程,奔跑,微笑向前......
"失败是一笔难得的财富,而成功是失败的结算"。微微一笑,无所畏惧地向前走吧,一路向阳,胜利之花即将灿烂绽放!
