Think a minute! The Former Prime Minister of England, Winston Churchill, became so famous for his great speeches that he's been called the greatest speaker of the century. He was also famous for his quick thinking remarks and comments. Yet he was not a natural or gifted speaker. In fact, earlier in Churchill's life he had a speech problem so that many people laughed and made fun of the way he talked.
But do you know how Churchill changed to become the greatest speaker of this century? He wrote his speeches word-for-word on paper, and practised them. He even practised the pauses and pretended to struggle to find the right word or phrase, even though he knew exactly what he was going to say! And he practised each speech many hours in front of a mirror. He worked on saying each word just the right way and even the expressions he used on his face when he spoke. You see, Winston Churchill was not a natural good speaker, but he disciplined himself and worked hard to become a great one!
And friend, you and I can never succeed in life without discipline and hard work. Because it takes work and sweat to succeed in your job and career, in school, in sport, in your marriage and family. Because even if you're born in a rich family, or with a smart mind or a strong body, you still have to work hard to truly succeed and reach your potential. Just think a minute...Leon (11561468) 于 2009-10-13 12:08:57 对此贴进行了编辑
