no young man believes he shall ever die. it was a saying of my brother’s, and a fine one. there is a feeling of eternity in youth, which makes us amend for everything. to be young is to be as one of the immortal gods. one half of time indeed is flown-the other half remains in store for us with all its countletreasures; for there is no line drawn, and we see no limit to our hopes and wishes. we make the coming age our own-
the vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us.
death. old age. are words without a meaning. that paby us like the idea air which we regard not. others may have undergone, or may still be liable to them-we “bear a charmed life“, which laughs to scorn all such sickly fancies. as in setting out on delightful journey, we strain our eager gaze forward-
bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!
and see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting
themselves as we advance; so, in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations. nor to the uestricted opportunities of gratifying them. we have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on so forever. we look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseleprogress; and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave. it is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedneof our

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I’m glad to be here to give you my speech called ‘ Yes, we can.’
If we want to say ‘yes, we can’, we must know what things we need to do first. Just like to me, it’s my duty and honour to make it a good speech for you. I believe I can.
We need to know more meaningful things. For example, the 35th President of United States, J.F. Kennedy, said this in his inaugural speech: ‘Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.’ Can we do more for our society? Yes, we can. We can make it a better world through our hard work.
I n Barack Obama’s victory speech, he told a story about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old. She was born just a generation past slavery, a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn’t vote for two reasons, BECause she was a woman and BECause of the color of her skin.
