Three tips to achieve your dream: Courage, Persistence, Good emotion.
When I say “Courage”, I was about to say:
Children are always happy, you can always see shining smile on their face, you can always hear their “amazing” dreams, even when they make mistake, what they do is only to be given a second to cry, then they wipe out the tears, show you another smile which is shining enough to let you feel how wonderful they are…. from this point, they are our teacher, who can show you with themselves what is a good attitude to face either mistakes or difficulties.
If they do something wrong, what they need from you is only some words to encourage them, then they will do it again, work really hard untill, untill they got it right. Why? Do you know why? It’s only because they care.
They care about your encouragement, and they don’t want to let their teacher down; they care about the work itself, they have the courage to correct the mistake or to conquer the difficulty; they care about the sense of successful, even we don’t think they understand “honor” that much, but they actually understand many concept far better than us…
Once I was told by some close friends of mine(cannot remember, it also can be some book haha), “When you do a bad job, and no one comes up to you to say anything….that means, they gives up on you.” So in this point, even getting something which sounds pretty critical to you, it turns out to mean that people care you.
So, bring your courage with you, always.
When I say “Persistence”, I was about to say:
Brick walls are there for a reason. They let us know how badly we want things.
If your dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.
If the boat of your dream doesn’t come to you, swim to it!
I’m not the best example when it comes to persistence, but you can be the best example only if you want!
When I say “Good emotion/attitude”, I was about to say:
We do need to have a good mood every day, which is not only good for health, for yourself, but also an essential element to make yourself work and play well with others, and all these can give you a happy day!
When I mentioned those simple advice hard to follow, apart from telling the truth and apologize with your heart to make it right ….there is a third thing which is also very important :
Wait and people will show their good side to you. You cannot make them to do it in a hurry, but you can be patient.
No one, in the world, is pure evil. (Maybe only some one? Hahaha.)
Courage, persistence, good mood, how can dreams not come to you?
Until now, I felt like I did finished my C10, which I got the speech title on the subway way to meeting location……when it comes to my turn, my heart was almost jumping out and my hands were very cold, like in winter… I cannot believe I got that nervous… luckily, I finished it, on time.:-)
Today actually is our Nanjing No.1 Toastmasters Club’s one-year-old birthday. Same date in 2009, we had our first formal meeting at Kongzi Academy in Confucius Temple Area.
Happy Birthday to You, Nanjing No.1 Toastmasters, and, good night:-).
