Most Valuable Possessions on Earth
Marie was a single mother of two children in a rural Missouri community. She also dedicated much spare time to numerous charities and community projects.
Then one day Marie received some shocking news from her doctor. She had cancer, and it was spreading rapidly.
Soon, Marie witnessed what she had always known: although she was not financially wealthy, she already had the most valuable possessions on earth. Hundreds in her community and surrounding areas teamed up to help her and her family.
Many people she had touched in caring ways demonstrated(演示) appreciation for Marie's life. However, she lived long enough to feel the love of those she had cheerfully served.
The spirits of love and gratitude multiply(增加) when they are shared. Giving selflessly was a value that Marie displayed all her life, and her spirit of giving lived after her in those who knew and loved her.
All her life, Marie had demonstrated the truth of this simple principle: Rather, it is an attitude that comes from appreciating what we already have. We can find the happiness we seek if we will first share it with others. Then — and only then—we will have the most valuable possessions on earth: love, happiness, and increasing gratitude.
A. Happiness is the result of sharing love and gratitude.
B. She worked fulltime during the day and sold handcrafted leather gifts on weekends.
C. She lived a rather poor and hard life with the two children.
D. Marie didn't live to see the day when her bills were fully paid.
E. Love is second to none.
F. She had barely enough resources to put a cent in the medical treatments she would need.
G. Happiness will not come from worldly possessions of fortune.
A. You aren't like anybody else B. You already do lots of things well C. Turn your back on too many rules D. Practise speaking whenever possible E. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough F. The one thing you don't want is for them to fall asleep G. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse |
Public Speaking Training
Get a coach
{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.
Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. As far as we're concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.
You are a special person not a clone
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.
