Success Belongs to the Persevering 成功屬於不屈不撓的人
Nothing can be more exciting than success to a man. But you must face many difficulties before you can succeed. No one can make it easily. And it s harder for those who are in adverse conditions to succeed.
However,everything has two sides. Just as someone said, in every adversity there lies the seed of an advantage and in every defeat there is a lesson showing you how to win the victory next time. The most important forus is to establish a brief, that is perseverance. The British ex-prime minister Winston Churchill had a motto of Never, never, never, never give up . Nothing can substitute for hard work. Life is a process of struggle for success.
沒有什麼能比一個人的成功更令人興奮的了。但你必須面對許多困難才能成功。沒有人可以使它容易。在不利的條件下成功的人更難。
然而，任何事物都有兩面性。正如有人所說，在逆境中有一個優勢的種子，每次失敗都是一堂課，教你下次去贏得勝利。最重要的是有一個簡短的詞，那就是堅持。英國前首相溫斯頓邱吉爾有一個座右銘永不，永不，永不，永不放棄。沒有什麼能代替努力工作。生活是一個拼搏的過程。
there＇s no story without coincidence 無巧不成書
The story happened a year ago. One day, I was walking along the street when an old man walked towards me. He asked me the way in English. No matter how hard I tried I couldn＇t understand what he said. He repeated again and again. At last I seemed to know what he was saying.
He was a Japanese. He thought I could speak English. So he asked me the way in English. My goodness! His Japanese English confused me a lot. then he spoke English very slowly.He even wrote the English words on a piece of paper. In the end I managed to help him get the right way. I thought maybe it was necessary for me to learn some Japanese.
A few months later, I was enrolled to attend a summer course, learning Japanese. I was surprised to find that old man was there, teaching us Japanese. there＇s no story without coincidence!
這個故事發生在一年前。有一天,我沿著街道走的時候一個老人朝我走來。他用英語問我路。無論我如何努力我不明白他說什麼。他一次又一次地重複。最後我似乎知道他在說什麼。
他是一個日本人。他認為我會說英語。所以他問我用英語的方式。我的天哪!他的日本英語困惑我!然後他說英語非常緩慢。他甚至寫了英語單詞在一張紙上。最後我設法幫助他得到正確的方式。我認為也許是必要的,可以讓我了解一些日本。
幾個月後,我被錄取參加暑期課程,學習日語。我意外地發現老人在那裡,教我們日語。真是無巧不成書!
10 Tips for Successful Public Speaking 成功演講十秘訣
Know the room. Be familiar with the place in which you will speak. Arrive early, walk around the speaking area and practise using the microphone and any visual aids. Know the audience. Greet some of the audience as they arrive. It’s easier to speak to a group of friends than to a group of strangers. Know your material. If you’re not familiar with your material or are uncomfortable with it, your nervousness will increase. Practise your speech and revise it if necessary. Relax. Ease tension by doing exercises. Visualize yourself giving your speech. Imagine yourself speaking, your voice loud, clear, and assured. When you visualize yourself as successful, you will be successful. Realize that people want you to succeed. Audiences want you to be interesting, stimulating, informative, and entertaining. They don’t want you to fail. Don’t apologize. If you mention your nervousness or apologize for any problems you think you have with your speech, you may be calling the audience’s attention to something they hadn’t noticed. Keep silent. Concentrate on the message — not the medium. Focus your attention away from your own anxieties, and outwardly toward your message and your audience. Your nervousness will dissipate. Turn nervousness into positive energy. Harness your nervous energy and transform it into vitality and enthusiasm. Gain experience. Experience builds confidence, which is the key to effective speaking. A Toastmasters club can provide the experience you need. 熟悉場地。爭取熟悉你要在那裡發表演講的環境。提早到達並巡視講台，練習使用麥克風和其他輔助視覺設施。 熟悉聽眾。在聽眾進入會場時向他們致意。向一群朋友演講總比對一群陌生人演講來得容易些。 熟悉你的講稿。如果你不熟悉你的稿子或者對它不滿意，你的緊張感就會增強。練習一下你的演講稿，並且做必要的修改。
放鬆自己。做些準備活動鬆弛緊張的神經。 構想你自己演講時的情景。想像你自己在侃侃而談，聲音洪亮、吐字清晰、充滿自信。倘能構想自己成功，你就一定會成功。
要意識到在場的人們希望你成功。聽眾希望你的講話趣味昂然、催人向上、旁徵博引且風趣
