“天才就是1%的天赋加上99%的汗水。”这句耳熟能详的名言曾是很多人的座右铭，告诉我们后天的努力是成功必不可少的因素。但是，现实生活中有些人就是先天的天才，不需要很努力就可以在某一领域取得很高的成就。智力对我们的生活到底有什么样的影响呢?光华美高本期演讲将围绕着“为什么仅凭智力是不够的呢?”这个话题展开，大家自选立场，各抒己见。

本场**位选手戴同学以神童方仲永的事例论证，一个人仅仅靠聪明是不足够的，后天的努力十分重要。小时候的方仲永聪明过人，落笔成诗。他父亲就带他到处作诗挣钱，导致方仲永没有继续接受教育，所以⻓大以后写诗水平依旧没有提升，名气也日渐消减。戴同学认为21世纪成功的因素有很多，例如积累、合作等等。一个人的出⽣决定了他的上限，但⼀个人的努力决定了他的下限!

Edison said that genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. There are such abundant examples about postnatal effort that can enhance intelligence that I'd like to mention a familiar one. When Lang Lang was 10 years old. He entered the attached primary school of the central conservatory of music with the first place. He had to complete eight hours of training every day. After winning the first prize in the piano competition, 13-year-old Lang Lang lived the life of a student at school and home every day. In the morning, study culture; in the afternoon, practice piano under the guidance of teachers. When he got home after a day of lessons, he continued to practice. Eventually he became an excellent pianist.

第二位选手王同学拿到题目后首先理性分析什么是“足够”，但凡我们在生活中提到这个词，那就意味着这我们正通过一个特定的标准来判断，就像我们平常总说足够干什么事。所以，当面对一些问题的时候，我们先要明确到底是为了什么足够，再去考虑如何达成某个目标。

The first thing you do after receiving the topic is to analyze it. The term “enough” indicates that there must be a certain criteria or a purpose, like We often use the phrase “enough for” and “enough to” So here we ask, what for?

第三位选手赵同学引用丹尼尔·戈尔曼教授的名言，指出一个人若只是聪明而不会做人，未必能稳操胜券;相反，会做人并懂得处理好人际关系，往往能弥补不够聪明的缺陷。在她看来，智商虽然重要，但是光有智商是不够的，情商的培养和锻炼也是必不可少的。

I believe you will encounter people with high IQ and low EQ. Let me give you an example that I still remember vividly. When I was in primary school, I had an excellent classmate at the same desk, every exam, he can get a hundred, except Chinese. Every time I accepted his merciless mock. He always spoke some hurtful words to his classmates and attacked their shortcomings. Few people in the class played with him, only I, his desk mate, played with him occasionally, although he often spoke some hurtful things to me. But that's not what annoyed me the most. I believe that everyone has a favorite person when they are young.

第四位选手王同学以自己的求学经历来阐述这个关于智商的主题。于她而言，从小被夸聪明，长大却不太爱学习，但又总能靠小聪明考出成绩，后来又在一些重大考试中摔跤失利。这段曲折的经历让她感触颇深，也让她意识到人生就像一场旅途，只有不断地努力提升自我，方可走得更远，看到更靓丽的风景。

Life is like a road that never ends. We keep moving forward to pursue different ideals.Why study? Why grow? Because we can only go further on this road if we constantly improve our abilities in all aspects and improve ourselves.Intelligence is just a starting point. It only gives us a forward force at the beginning, no matter how big the force is, it can't let us go all the time. Just like force is the reason to change the state of motion, but not to maintain the state of motion. We need to continue to draw on other forces to move forward, like hard-working, self-discipline and perseverance.

第五位选手魏同学认为和智商相比，情商更重要。情商可以帮助你解决或避免一些人际关系上的问题，如果你只有智商而缺乏情商，那么你的生活肯定会受到负面影响。例如当众说出别人的考试成绩，并且加以贬低和讽刺;口无遮拦的说出嫌弃别人辛辛苦苦做出的成果，这些行为都会招致别人的厌烦。如果我们把智商与情商结合，并且运用到现实生活当中，得到的结果会更好。

Here is another example, I met a girl with low EQ a few years ago. In those days, my classmates were engaged in club activities. At that time, I joined the cooking club. Our task was to make a home-made dish together by each group. When the dish was ready, we tasted the taste. At that moment, one of the girls said：“ Have you add too much salt? It’s too salty! I’ve never eaten such a terrible dish!” Everyone was looking at her, but she didn’t realize the situation. You know, the atmosphere at that time was already extremely awkward, but she still continued saying who made this dish? It sucks. After seeing these examples, I’m pretty sure that you must be fairly clear about the consequences of low EQ.

第六位选手施同学认为当代社会大家都非常的重视天赋，甚至大家常常将它直接和成功连接起来。的确，天赋是非常的重要。在每年数百万的高考考生中，仅仅只有几千人能进入北大和清华这两个高等级学府，这些人凭借着天赋脱颖而出。但是，他认为最重要的是我们对于天赋的看法，很多时候不同人对于天赋的看法往往会决定他们是否能成功。

Life is like a race. All people are trying to get the finishing line of the race by their capacities in their life span. Most people start at the origin, while some people born with talents have already get forefront of the race. At the beginning, it is already an unequal competition but it is the attitudes people exert on the race that make the difference between people.You could see some of the people may be behind others at start point but they run beyond others and catch up with some front-runners by their industry because they know they already lose the competitions of intelligence and have perceptions that the > hard-work than others. So, they may be in inferior condition at the start, but eventually win at the end.

第七位选手胡同学认为一个人仅有智力是不够的，情商也是我们需要具备的一个重要特征。她从情商的概念以及自我意识、自我调节、动机和同理心四大特征两大角度分析情商对于我们的重要性。

Intelligence is definitely not enough. Emotional intelligence is also an important feature we need to have. Emotional intelligence, also known as EQ, is the ability to understand other people, what motivates them, and how to work collaboratively. EQ includes four features, self awareness, self-regulation, motivation, and empathy.

结语

智商决定起点，情商决定终点。天赋固然重要，但后天的努力也是万万不可忽视的。本场各位学子发挥出色，最后胡骞宇同学凭借出色的发挥夺得本场演讲的**名，其他几位同学表现出色，让我们继续期待下一场的精彩演讲!
