C9 speech (Persuade with power , 5 to 7 minutes)
Title: I believe I can
“ I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky…..” every time when I hear the song, I always feel that belief can make anything possible. Human is the most intelligent and creative animal, so they will create something to help their dreams come true. For example, they want to fly in the sky, they create airplane, for visiting other planet, they create space shuttle. We make everything impossible to possible, do you ever think about why we can make it? I thought about it. Because we have dreams, and we have belief, in order to make our dreams materialized, so we set our goals, and force ourselves to achieve it. And I believe the most pathetic is the one who doesn’t have dream, he even doesn’t have any goal in his life, it’s really waste of time, and even will hurt other people.
Why do I say that? I remember a story, three men lost in the desert, one day when they are walking, they find a magic lamp, so they rub the magic lamp and there comes a genie. He says “ Oh~ thanks for set me free, then each of you can make a wish, then I will make your wish come true.” A says I wish I can have a lot of money and send the money and I back to my country. Then he is gone. B think a while and says I wish I can have many beautiful women and send the women and I back to my country. Then he is also disappeared. Then C talk to genie that I don’t have any wish, just give me some wine, so the genie give him and ask “ Are you sure you don’t want any wish?” then he says drink alone is lonely, I wish my those two friends are here. Then all of them still back to the desert. See~ does he hurt other people? Don’t laugh, the story has part two. The other day when they are finding the way out, they find the magic lamp again, and they still rub the lamp, and still comes out a genie. The genie still give each of them a wish. Due to last experience, so A and B let C to make a wish first, C still talk to genie that he doesn’t have any wish, just give him some wine, and the genie give him and ask “ Are you really sure you don’t have any wish?” then he replies that I really don’t have any wish, so you can go now. Then the genie is disappeared.
Most of us always think what we have, then we will do something, and become the person you want to be. But actually, it’s totally inverse. You should set a goal about what kind of people you want to be then you do something, then you will have what you want. For example, like join toastmaster, you can’t think
I don’t have English abilities, so I can’t join it. You should think I would like to be one of the great speakers, so I want to join toastmaster, then I will have my English abilities, right? We also read some news that junkman donate money to tsi-chi or orphanage, although they don’t have lots of money, but they still do the charity. Why? Because they want to be the one to help others. Having dreams is important, and believe in yourself is important, too. To motivate your potential, to create your own value, that’s the most important. So what’s your dream? What’s your belief? Just do it now~

Mark Twain had said, Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. Share with my dear members
