Chapter 28 Persevere in practicing hard and look forward to it with confidence

As long as he is busy every minute and every second in his daily life and work, he can hand over the final victory to himself.He can look forward with full confidence to waking up one fine morning and discovering that he has become a success. I hope you will turn to this page every morning at the dinner table until you have these words of Professor William James in your heart: "Young people should not worry about whether they have received higher education. As long as they are busy every minute and every second in their daily life and work, they can hand over the final victory to themselves. He can have full self-confidence Looking forward to waking up one fine morning and finding that he has become a success, no matter what he is after."

Now, with the support of the famous psychologist Professor James, I also want to tell you that as long as you persevere and practice hard, you can confidently look forward to waking up in a beautiful morning and finding that you are already in the city. Or one of the top speakers in the community. No matter how empty this sentence sounds, it is a truly unbreakable general rule.Of course, there may be some exceptions. For those who are unstable, have extremely low self-esteem, and have no life experience at all, they naturally cannot dream of becoming the local Daniel Webster one day.But generally speaking, this assertion is correct.

Let me illustrate with another example.Former New Jersey Governor Stocker was at one of our training class's graduation dinners.He commented that the speeches he heard that night were as good as the speeches he had heard in the Senate and House of Representatives in Washington.And these "speakers," tongue-tied and cowering before their audiences months before; they were New Jersey merchants—those you could find anywhere in any American city, not ancient Cicero. 106-43 BC, Roman statesman, orator, and writer).But waking up one fine morning, they suddenly find themselves among the great speakers in their town, perhaps even the nation!

Of the hundreds of people I've known, many have struggled to gain enough self-confidence to be able to speak in front of others.Among the many successful people, only a very small number of them are god-given talents, and most of them are just ordinary businessmen who can be seen everywhere. Persistence is the secret of their success.On the contrary, those who have some special talents are often discouraged. They are too eager to make money, and as a result they become mediocre and lackluster.Ordinary people, as long as they have courage and goals, can climb to the peak of their career even if they come to the end of their life.

This is in line with human nature and nature.The same thing can be seen everywhere in all walks of life.American oil magnate John D. Rockefeller once said that the first key to business success is patience and confidence in the ultimate success.The tip for improving speaking skills is also effective. A few years ago, I was in the Austrian Alps and tried to climb a mountain called Werder Kaiser. According to the "Bedick Travel Guide", it is extremely difficult to climb the peak, and amateur climbers should be equipped with a guide.My friend and I are neither professional climbers nor hired guides.A friend asked us if we could be successful, and our unanimous, resolute answer was, "Of course!"

"Why do you think you will succeed?" My friend asked. "Many people have succeeded without a guide," I said, "and I never do anything without thinking of failure first." Always have faith, the right mindset to do everything from giving speeches to conquering Mount Everest. The key to your success often lies in the thinking you do before you speak.Imagine yourself speaking to someone under absolute control.This is something you can do.Believe that you will succeed, and believe it firmly, and only then will you happily do everything you need to do on your way to success.

During the Civil War, Admiral Dupont offered a host of plausible excuses for why he failed to lead his ships into Port Charles.After listening intently to his description, Admiral Farage calmly said to him: "But there is another reason that you didn't mention." "What reason!" Admiral Du Pang was full of suspicion. "You don't believe you can do it." In my training class, the most valuable thing that most of the trainees get is self-confidence-an extra trust in their own success: Among the various psychological states of life, nothing is more important to a person's success than self-confidence. It's important.

Emerson once wrote: "There is no greatness without zeal." This is not just a literary rhetoric, but a path to success. William Felpo is perhaps one of the most beloved and popular Yale professors of all time.He wrote in the book "Teaching Fever": "For me, the love of teaching is far more than other professions. I love teaching, just like painters love painting, singers love singing, and poets love writing poetry. Before I wake up in the morning, I can't help but think passionately about my group of young and lively students." It is no surprise that you can be successful if you are passionate about your career and excited about the work ahead of you.The main reason why Professor Philpoe can have such a great influence on students is that he adds his own care, sincerity and enthusiasm to the teaching process.

If you add this enthusiasm to your speech study and training, you will also find that all obstacles will disappear.It is a challenge to focus all your mind and strength on communicating effectively with others.Think about the self-confidence and ease with which you are, the pride that grabs attention, shocks emotions, and moves audiences, and you'll see that your ability to express yourself can create other problems as well. ability.Training eloquence is a way to success and can cultivate the self-confidence necessary for career and life. In the "Dale Carnegie Course Teaching Manual", there are some words: "When the students find that they can control the audience's attention, be appreciated by the teacher and win the applause of the whole class, they will gradually develop an inner A sense of empowerment that increases their courage and inner peace, a feeling they have never experienced before. With this feeling, they begin to do things they never dreamed possible and find themselves longing to speak in public .These people tend to become active in business and beyond.”

The word "domination" is often mentioned in the book.One of the hallmarks of today's social dominance is clear, powerful, powerful expression of thought.This expression dominates the words of leaders in everything from private interviews to public speeches.If you can flexibly master many of the skills in this book, you will surely be able to be confident and a leader in your family, social groups, civil organizations, companies and government agencies.
