Aspiration is the person you hope to become. The question is not
how much money you earn, how many fancy titles you land, or how many
awards you accumulate. Those status symbols are poor proxies for
progress. What counts is not how hard you work but how much you grow.
And growth requires much more than a mindset—it begins with a set of
skills that we normally overlook.

You can’t tell where people will land from where they begin. With the
right opportunity and motivation to learn, anyone can build the skills to
achieve greater things. Potential is not a matter of where you start, but of
how far you travel. We need to focus less on starting points and more on
distance traveled.

words is indeed could bring pain and happiness.
Lets hope to use it right,
everyone of us

Hitler planted words on his people. 我在想，犹太人也太无助，变成战争的羔羊和武器，如果当初有人可以发声，可以抗衡，在还没有萌芽的时候就让人看清事实，那就好了，那就不会有那么多人死了

时间穿越我跟不上了。但，家人潜逃，我可能也会离开，如果没有爱的话。家人，真的那么重要吗，我不认为，如果不是真心爱护，那只是个血缘关系

人总是有很多问题，我们帮得了多少就多少，尽力而为，最后决定还是别人做的，就算没帮到也没遗憾

第一章
月兔-爱一人不要失去了自己，失去热爱的事情，不然别人也不会爱你了

第二章
克朗-我们都要坚持到生命的最后一刻，即便现在没有派上用场，但是不会白白付出的，好像人生借阅室，对现在或未来都可能会有改变。好感动哦，最后主角牺牲救火死了，但歌曲流传下去了。

浩祢-啃老族
不受欢迎的工作不代表没有观众，行行出状元，好好活出自己，不要放弃

夏美（编辑）-每个经历都是养分，东西在变，我们也变，应对他，一定可以的

2) 要用现在的时间，做能力所及的事，把今后变明天，be proactive, 无聊的自尊算得了什么

1) 人生把事情做好，不忘记学习，可能有一天就会派上用场的，好好生活，世间一定有你的美好

you will eventually find meaningful happiness from something that is important. if theres ever, be bold and step out of comfort zone, do it, and make an impact from public speaking

Ted talk is about making ideas assessable, and to connect ideas to show it in broad view

Use technology/innovation moderately, at the end of the day, substance/idea over style

Stand still let body relax and emphasize the important points, stand still no rocking one leg one to another, move intentionally, add variety to pitch

Hand held note cards, 1 slide 1 note

wear something you are confident

nerves: use body breathe, leg hold to the floor, find friends face, backup plan to tell story or ask questions, THIS MATTERS be passionate on delivering the idea, I VE GOT THIS, rmb the power of vulnerability

open with curiousity, close with narative, reinforce, personal commitment, values and visions,

Rehearsal - until it is second nature and you can focus on the meaning, be comfortable or

Scripting:
you should tease the arrival of the next slide, that brings us to the future of cities eg.

Nobody minds you to pause, the key is to relax

Just make sure all sentences count and are interesting

less is more in presentation

Revelation, explain, delight
make audience curious, then reveal reason, use slides only it will make your words more interesting.
Like showing a slide saying ‘How black can a blackhole be.

Explain with metaphor with analogy, spark curiosity first

Tell story that carries a meaning, why. Be it to raise curiousity tension awe

Connection
Make eye contacts and smile just with a couple of people before starting, use humor to break the defence or ice, be genuine on the story and be relevant to the idea.
Sometime self depreciation works too.

Less is more. Share around an idea instead of many details.

An issue-based talk leads with morality. An idea-based talk leads with curiosity.
An issue exposes a problem. An idea proposes a solution.
An issue says, "Isn't this terrible?" An idea says, "Isn't this in-teresting?"

Anything worth to share is good public speaking

Inspiration can't be performed. It's an audience response to authenticity, courage, selfless work, and genuine wisdom. Bring those qualities to your talk, and you may be amazed at what hap-pens.
