（初中）国旗下讲话：成功在于奋斗
小草因为其出土前的奋力一搏，而感受到了春天的爱抚；雄鹰因为其飞翔前的奋力一搏，而感受到了天际的广阔；鲤鱼因为其跃过龙门前的奋力一搏，而看到了龙门那面的美丽景色……自然界如此，人生亦复如是，我们只有拼搏奋斗，才可以使自己的生命之路变得更加辉煌。人人都渴望成功，人人都羡慕成功者，但成功者的背后，是起早贪黑练习的艰辛，是凭着自己坚持不懈的品质。居里夫人发现了镭，是在一间十分狭小的的破草棚里，对几吨的沥青进行提炼之后,才得到了一克镭,这其间的艰辛又有谁了解呢？当成功者站在领奖台上，那鲜花与笑容背后，是他们矢志不渝的奋斗。要问成功的秘诀是什么，只有两个字：奋斗！但有些同学认为取得好成绩是靠运气，从此便守株待兔，作业不认真做，不努力学习了，这样取得好成绩吗？学海无涯，任何知识领域都是没有止境的。没有永远的成绩，只有永远的奋斗。理想和现实，仅一步之遥，但这一步必须付出艰辛的劳动和辛勤的汗水，成绩的彼岸可望也可及，但是它永远属于勇敢的跋涉者。
（初中）国旗下讲话：预防溺水
有人这样形容我们，我们是早晨冉冉升起的太阳，充满了青春活力，多么快乐，多么美丽！然而，你有没有想过，在我们离开母亲的搀扶，摇摇晃晃地行走在人生道上以后，我们美好的生命靠的是什么？有人说：“是生存还是死亡”，也有哲人说：“艰难和困惑是生命的本身”，我思来想去，只能说是“安全”！安全捍卫着我们的生命，维护我们生存的权利。但是随着气温的升高，炎炎的夏季即将来到，夏季是溺水事故的高发期，每年时有学生溺水事件的发生，蓓蕾初开，前程无限，却被无情的河水所吞噬，令人痛心。有关数据显示，目前全国每年有万名中小学生非正常死亡，平均每天约有40多名学生死于溺水、交通或事物中毒等事故，几乎相当于我们一个班的个数啊！其中溺水死亡居意外死亡之首。
初中秋季开学MKM周国旗下讲话
亲爱的老师、同学们：大家好!今天我演讲的题目是《新起点，新征程》!伴随着雄壮的义勇军进行曲，鲜艳的五星红旗伴随着初生的太阳冉冉升起。新的学期开始了，刚刚升入七年级的同学将迎来一个全新的阶段;八年级的同学将初次面对中考，九年级的同学也将面对求学路上的次考验——中考。新的起点，新的希望，新的梦想将在这里展翅飞翔!有句名言说，态度决定一切。对于学习来说，态度当然是最重要的。每个人不一定都能建大事业，有大成就，但掌握必要的科学知识，树立正确的人生观，培养基本的个人素质，这些是推进社会进步和实现个人理想的基础，都与我们的学习密切相关，所以端正的学习态度是学好知识的要素，是实现理想的源泉，再加上勤奋刻苦，我们一定能打败学习道路上的“拦路虎”，为新学期开一个好头!
初中期末考试前国旗下讲话稿
一天，一个年轻人在沙滩上散步，无意间，他转了一下头，却发现自己走过的两行脚印是弯曲的。他很不解,刚才自己明明走得很直,脚印怎么会弯曲呢?这时,他看到不远处有一块礁石,于是朝着礁石的方向走去.....等他再回头看时,发现沙滩上印着两行清晰笔直的脚印......其实，在生活中,不论我们做什么事,心中都要有一个目标。只有这样,才会找准方向、少走弯路。期末复习时间紧张，更应如此。 这样的目标，我建议大家定的适当地高一些，这样才能激励自己，给自己以动力。有这样一则寓言：一只小鸡看见苍鹰在高高的蓝天上飞过，十分的羡慕，于是他问母鸡：妈妈，我们也有一对大翅膀，为什么不能像鹰那样高飞呢? 真是个小傻瓜，母鸡回答说，飞得高有什么用处，蓝天上没有谷粒，也不会有虫子啊!.是的，如果你的目标不是蓝天，你就永远不会飞翔。其次.制定一个切实可行的复习计划凡事预则立，不预则废。我们的同学有没有给自己的复习定个计划呢?每一位同学除了跟着老师的进度，按照老师的要求复习外，还应根据自己的情况，给自己的薄弱学科，和各学科中的薄弱章节适当的增加些复习时间和练习。最后. 要有脚踏实地的有效行动
初中秋季开学国旗下讲话稿
今天，是新学期的第一天，祝愿同学们每天都能快快乐乐。下面是小编为您整理的关于初中秋季开学国旗下讲话稿的相关资料，欢迎阅读！初中秋季开学国旗下讲话稿 篇1 老师们、同学们：大家好!今天是开学第一天，满怀新学期的喜悦，带着对积极向上的校园生活的向往，我们又走到了一起。我首先代表学校，向新入学的一年级学生表示热烈祝贺与诚挚的欢迎!同学们，新学年走进校园，你有没有发现，我们的校园里又有了新的变化——那就是学校东西两边的围墙上布置了“临浦一小名人墙”和“三色工程系列图片”。我们希望每一位一小的学子了解一小的历史，知道自己的责任。临浦一小建于19xx年, 百年的砥砺成长，百年的春华秋实，学校积淀了丰厚的人文文化。历史演义作家蔡东藩、音乐教育家桑松青等先贤曾在一小任教。北大着名教授、历史学家柴德赓，中国共青团创始人俞秀松，着名学者喻守真都是我们的校友，他们的人生理想曾在这里启航。近年来，一小正在着力打造“守真”教育品牌，取名“守真”，一为纪念校友、着名的注释家喻守真，追慕其做学问之真;二则蕴含着我们的办学追求，即“志在求真，恪守不违”。我们追求平实、真实的学校教育管理，要求老师“传真知，动真情，做真师”，要求学生“诚实、朴实、踏实”，我们的底气是来自一小百年辉煌的办学成绩和优良的教风——民国时期一小获省教育厅褒奖“学风纯美冠南乡”;解放后的萧山教育四柱之一;近年来我校在区年度考核中连年获片第一。当然，打造守真教育品牌这需要一种自信，一种底气，但更需要一种信念。面对现实社会的肤浅、浮躁、功利，我们深感教学需要坚持和坚守平实与真实，教育需要坚持和坚守良心和真知，所以守真其实是一种很高的品味和很高的追求。
