Title: Morse code
Speaker: Alex Sher date: 2008/12/16
Opening
About 15 years ago l liked radio (walking talking) and l want to be a ham, not a sausage. Do you know what their different? That is if you have licenses, you can use it in the public, but if you do not have any license, you only use it in private and avoid the police to catch you. So today I will use the Morse code to introduce myself. (.. .- -- .- .-.. . -..- … …. . .-. )
that mean I am Alex Sher
Body
The Morse cord was invented by American ,in 1832 his name is 〝Samuel Morse〞it use two objects to touch together, and control the sound happen and touch
.time length expression .The short sound is “dit”. The long sound is “dah”. Then combine the two sounds and variety to express the number and English letter. the language is one of tools easily to be used in the human communication.
On special condition. It may not work. For example when you are Urgent .you can use the style of Mores code with sound or light to express your Situation. Wait someone to assist you. Now I teach you, one is .-,tow is ..-,three is …-,and so on .
( … - - - … … - - - … )
Does anyone know this mean？ It was in the early 19th Century. At that time a biggest ship of the world is Titanic. Before it sink into water, the operator typed the message for a long time but non person want to believe it, also they thought the message was a joke. Three hours passed, there was one ship passed through and found that was true. The situation was serious but that was too late, there were many people dead already, it was century’s disaster.
Conclusion
If you are possible to study the skill of the Morse code that is a good thing .you may save others and help yourself .For example when you are bullied by your girlfriend .you may strike the signal for rescue. The beautiful angel will appear to rescue you and help you to separate from your ugly girlfriend.
Finally my dear fellow members, I must strike this message expresses my heart to you. ( .. --- ..-)does anyone know？ That is, I love you everybody, I love you so much. Thanks Toastmaster.
每天忙碌的生活中，能偷閒外出並且與同好一同出遊，最是愜意不過的事了，在秋高氣爽涼風徐徐的早晨，一行浩浩蕩蕩二十餘人，大伙就集合在文化中心的大門口，等待著9:30正式出發前往“三地門”。
到達了目的地，沒想到我們的member 中竟然有一位是擁有專業的導遊證的Alex, 他一路帶領我們並且沿途為我們介紹當地的特色（他還帶了領隊專用的麥克風呢）。
終於來到了我們這趟出遊的重頭戲～沙滔舞琉璃藝術空間，那是一間用巧思所搭造的藝術空間，到處都看得到用琉璃所拼成的藝術品，經過老師的解說並呼著2266的口號，同時再來段同手同腳的舞蹈後，我們開始正式體驗琉璃珠的製做，在近千度的火焰下，讓我感受到琉璃珠製做的辛苦，更領悟到文化的保留和藝術傳承是何等的不易。
我一直對自己在藝術上有一定程度的自信，相信自己一定可以做出一個美麗的琉璃珠（再加上 Darlene的鼓勵更是自信滿滿），當時我到處找尋靈感參考著要畫什麼樣式，猶豫著要做那一款的琉璃珠時，來到了展示賣場，其中有一顆不以線條勾勒的圖案，而是以四大色塊（紅、黑、黃、綠）所組成的琉璃珠，當時，我有種被震撼到的感動，因為它的古樸中帶有收斂的包容力，在請教店員之後，得知它是“大地之珠”，於是我不再猶豫當下就決定做大地之珠，更沒想到它所象徵的是財富的意思，這讓我覺得更有意義。
在老師的帶領之下，我完成了“大地之珠”，看著每位 member像小學生般認真的完成作品，讓我有一種回到小時候戶外教學的興奮。在大伙完成作品並等待編上帶子做成吊飾、手鍊和項鍊的同時，我們去享受著我們野炊的樂趣，思心的Jason和Lillian 為我和Jane準備了素食的食品，大伙有的煎蛋有的煮咖啡，每個人分工完成大家的午餐，這當中還有 Jonathan全程拍照記錄，大家在飽餐；經過一番寒暄之後就前往沙滔去領取我們期待己久的作品，每個人都興奮的show著自己的作品，而興奮和滿心期待的我從信封中倒作品時，看到的竟是分成兩半的琉璃珠。
當下；我想著“破財”；同時更讓我看見我對這個文化的不敬（因為當時我認為這個作品沒有那麼難完成和那麼神聖）。
在經過店員和老師的解說之下，才知道，有些作品是需要有十年甚至是二十年以上的功力才能完成的，在完成之後而有破裂也是常有的事，當我有些沮喪的接受這個事實，並接下她們感到遺憾所回贈的小吊飾時，貼心的joy拿著她自己完成的大地之珠要交換我那破碎的琉璃珠，內心感到十分的感動，雖不是自己親手完成的作品，但心中生起一份暖暖的同窗之情。
在大家興奮與琉璃珠拍照留念之後; Alex得知這樣的結果，為了不讓我感到遺憾而再次與店長小姐協商。當時的我覺得十分不妥也不好意思為他們帶來這種麻煩。
店長小姐十分有誠意的為我解釋，一個破裂的作品也有可能是上天想要傳達給你的某種訊息，（這點讓深信吸引力法則的我更是震撼不已）這樣的話語在這種充滿靈性的部落裡更增加了它的可能性，這句話就如同在回音谷裏一次次的傳到了我的耳裡。
然後，拿了一條美麗的大地之珠做為不讓我有所遺憾的補償，在充滿感激和意外之下收下這個禮物，一切不敢多想並希望不會造成店家的困撓的心態之下，逃離了這個讓我感到五味雜陳的地方。
回程的路上，方驚覺這個“大地之珠”就是我在展示賣場所驚豔的那顆珠，（吸引力法則再次的印証，而且我一直深信所有在你身邊所發生或出現的事，一定不是偶然的，而且在生命的過程中一定會再有所連結，只是沒想到會這麼快）。
回到家，欣賞者掛在鏡子前的這顆珠，它不僅僅是代表財富而己，還有著很多的美好的回憶，同時還有許多好友的善意的關懷。

Hi, everyone! My name is Tina. I’m now a senior in National Kaohsiung Normal University. I major in Chinese Literature. Talking about my personality, I think I am a brave girl and like to challenge things that people think I can’t do. I’ve joined Taiwanese speech competition even though I can’t make any Taiwanese sentence. I wrote down the speech in Chinese and then memorized by listening how my dad pronounce. When my friends heard I was joining a Taiwanese speech, they were surprised and said, “Tina! What are you doing? You should join English speech! Why are you joining in Taiwanese speech?” Well, I’ve already tried English speech when I was 13 and I won the first place. I just wanted to try something different.
