Chapter 106 Hard work pays off

How I wish you would open this book every morning as you eat, and take to heart these words of Professor William James, the famous Harvard psychologist: All young people should not have doubts about their own learning results, no matter whether your starting point is high or low.As long as you give sincerely every moment, then you will eventually achieve your goals.One day, you will find that you have become an outstanding representative among your peers, no matter what career and pursuit you have chosen for yourself. Therefore, referring to the words of this famous professor, we can also say that in the process of self-speaking, as long as you are full of enthusiasm, adopt the correct method, and give sincerely, then one day you will eventually become an outstanding local speaker.

This sounds like fantasy, but it is a truth, of course, there are exceptions.However, a person who is decadent, wretched and silent will never be a hero. Next, let us share a specific example: Stokes, the former governor of New Jersey, attended a closed banquet held by public speaking classes in Trenton.At the banquet, he remarked that the cadets' speeches he heard that night were as good as those given by Washington legislators.In fact, these trainees are all businessmen, and only a few months ago, they still harbored a fear of crowds, which was hard to say.They are not New Jersey business start-ups, but ordinary businessmen that can be seen anywhere in the United States.Yet it was they who, one day, suddenly became the preeminent speakers of their city.

In fact, as a speaker, your success depends only on two factors: one is your innate quality; the other is the intensity of your desire.Professor James said, "For most things, your enthusiasm is the most important." If you are passionate about the result of things, you will often get this result-if you want to be a rich man, then one day you will You will be really rich; if you want to be a learned person, then you will be really rich in learning; if you want to be a good person, then you will really be a good person.Therefore, as long as you have no distractions and do your best, your ideals will eventually become reality.Again, we might as well say something like this: "If you want to be a confident speaker, you'll get there if you really think about it."

I watched carefully early on as thousands of people struggled to gain the confidence and ability to speak in public.Only a small number of those successful people are due to their excellent endowments, and most of them are ordinary people around us.Many smart people sometimes lose their chances of success because they are too disappointed or too obsessed with making money; but ordinary people finally stand in the forefront because of their perseverance. This situation is very reasonable and natural.Moreover, this situation is not uncommon in the business world and the professional world.The elder Rockefeller once said that the first factor in business success is patience.Well, the same is true in the field of speech.

Marshall Falk, who led troops against the strongest armies of his day, declared himself to have only one virtue: never being discouraged. In 1914, when the French army retreated to Marthe, General Geoffrey commanded more than 2 million soldiers to stop the retreat and began to fight back. This new battle became one of the most decisive battles in the history of the world. First, when the battle lasted for two days, General Jeffer's superior, General Fokker, sent him a classified telegram (this confidential telegram became one of the most important telegrams in military records), saying: "The situation is excellent now, You have brought command and my authority to its knees, and I will be prepared to fight back."

And the ensuing counterattack saved Paris. So, when the war is tough and hopeless, when your commanders compromise and relinquish power, that's the "best time" to strike back!fight back!Fight back!In doing so, you will gain what is most dear to you - courage and loyalty. Climbing "Kaiser" One summer a few years ago, I went to climb a mountain called "Kaiser" in the foothills of the Austrian Alps.Betico thinks this climb is very difficult, and we are amateur climbers, so it is especially necessary to find a guide.However, Betico and I did not go to the guide in the end.

So one person asks if we believe we can be successful.We answered in unison, "Of course I do." "What makes you so confident?" the man continued. "Some people have climbed without a guide, so I believe we can do it too, and I never carry the burden of failure." As an Alpine climber, I was definitely a novice.But whether I was attempting public speaking or charging the mountain, I was in the right frame of mind.It's all about wanting to win.You should imagine yourself speaking in public, confident and unhurried.In terms of your abilities, you can absolutely do this.Believe that you can succeed, and then work towards your goal.

General Dupont gave several satisfactory reasons to General Farrag for not following orders to steer the gunboat into Port Charles.After listening carefully, Farage replied, "You still overlooked one more reason, Your Excellency the General." "Which reason?" General Du Pang asked puzzled. "You yourself don't believe you can do it," Farrager replied. In public speaking training, the most precious thing students gain is self-confidence, that is, trust in their own abilities.And it is this that is most important to anyone's career success.
