Chapter 5 4. Do more imagination after the goal is achieved

Quote: If you wish to do something well, you can do it well.If you want to be rich, you can be rich; if you want to be learned, you will be learned. After the death of Carnegie, the steel magnate, people found among his belongings the plan he had drawn up when he was 32 years old.He was preparing to retire to Oxford to be fully educated, with "particular concentration on the study of public speaking". So why do people work on improving their language skills?In other words, what is the significance of effective language expression to people? We might as well imagine: facing an innumerable audience, stepping onto the podium confidently, listening to the silence of the audience after the opening, and feeling the moment when the audience is deeply attracted by your simple, humorous speech. A kind of full attention, experience the sense of accomplishment when the audience gives you endless thunderous applause, and then you accept everyone's appreciation for you with a smile...

Of course, the benefits of improving your speaking ability are not limited to being able to deliver successful speeches in formal occasions.Continue to imagine that relying on your eloquence, you have won a huge amount of business through tactful negotiations with the other party; relying on humor and temperamental eloquence, you have won the heart of the girl you love, and you have moved forward together with her. The palace of marriage, relying on your persuasive eloquence, you have made one country stop using force against another country, and hundreds of millions of people have avoided the disaster of war, and you have been respected by people... What is more attractive than this What about people?

Many students who come to the eloquence training class are mostly because they feel timid and restrained in social life, including politicians, celebrities, and ordinary people.Mostly they used to be in a situation where they felt overwhelmed when they stood up to speak and couldn't even get a full sentence out when they had to speak in front of a large number of people, even acquaintances .In such situations, they feel as if they are not themselves anymore because they have absolutely no control over themselves. But after completing the course of the training class, their changes made them all impressed.They found that it was no longer difficult to let themselves speak.They all felt that their previous shyness and restraint were childish and ridiculous.Of course, the natural and easy demeanor they cultivated in the training process also impresses their friends, family or customers.They begin to build their own confidence while at the same time managing their relationships with others with ease, which affects their entire lives.

After Carnegie's eloquence training, the improvement of eloquence ability will also affect people's character to varying degrees, even if it does not necessarily appear quickly. I asked Dr. David Ormen, a surgeon in Atlantic City and president of the American Medical Association, "What are the benefits of public speaking training in terms of mental health?" He replied: "To answer this question, it is best to write a prescription, which must be filled by each person himself. If he thinks he can't, then he is wrong." Here is what Dr. Omen prescribed for us. Strive to develop the ability to allow others to enter your mind and heart.Try to articulate your thoughts and ideas in person, or in public.As you progress through this effort, you will discover that you—your true self—are truly shaping a new image, surprising those around you like never before.When you try to talk to others, your self-confidence will increase, and your personality will become more and more gentle and beautiful, which means that your emotions have gradually improved.In turn, your emotions will make your body better.Men, women and children of this world need to speak.Even if I don't know what other benefits speech brings in business and industry, I still believe that it has infinite benefits.However, I do understand its health benefits.Speak to a few people, or many, whenever you get a chance—and you'll get better at it, as I did myself.At the same time, you'll feel refreshed and complete in a way you haven't felt before.

"It's a pleasant and wonderful feeling, and no drug can give you this feeling." Dr. Omen described it. This is best explained by the words of William James, the most eminent professor of psychology at Harvard University, when he said: "Almost no matter what kind of course, as long as you are full of enthusiasm for it, you can complete it successfully. If you care enough about the result, you can achieve it; if you want to do something well, you can do it well; If you want to be rich, you can be rich; if you want to be learned, you will be learned. Only then will you really want these things, and focus on them, instead of wasting your mind on a lot of irrelevant things Chores."

"Don't learn with a speculative attitude," Waters warned us. "This attitude will only get us nowhere. You should first make a plan for yourself, set a goal, and then work hard to achieve this goal. When you put your energy and talents on it, then you will not be far away from success. And what I call a speculative learning attitude refers to the kind of people who think that what they have learned will not be far away in the future. Time may bring benefits but no direction of learning." Visualize yourself successfully doing what you are currently dreading doing, and imagine yourself being able to speak in a variety of work and social situations.Your point of view is accepted by everyone and has brought you many benefits.This goes a long way toward achieving your goals.Therefore, it is very important to keep your goals in mind at all times.

It is very important for you to focus all your energy, not to lose sight of your self-confidence and the ability to speak with eloquence.Just think about the social importance of the friends you make from this, how much your ability to serve the public and society will be greatly enhanced, and the profound impact it will have on your life and career... In short , think that it will pave the way for you to realize your own value in the future, and you will be able to achieve your goals. How to achieve the desired goal: (1) Always keep in mind the benefits that achieving your goals will bring you.

(2) Clarify your goal and write it in a conspicuous place-it is best to "write" it in your heart and remind yourself every morning. (3) Recalling the embarrassment of being shy and embarrassed when speaking in the past, and other consequences brought about by it, you will stimulate the motivation to improve your eloquence.
