Can you remember the first time you spoke in front of a group? My own "first" happened in front of 30 people. My hands were shaking, my legs trembling. “G-g-g-g-good morning everyone. Today I will talk about…” 你还记得第一次在人群面前讲话的情景吗？我的“第一次”是在30个人面前讲话。双手颤抖，两腿哆嗦。“大家早……早上好，今天我要讲的是……” After that failure, I did whatever it took to overcome my fear of public speaking. I read books on presentations.I watched TED talks. I worked with public speaking coaches. 那次丢脸的经历后，我用尽一切办法克服演讲的恐惧。我阅读有关演讲的书籍，看TED演讲，向演讲老师学习。 Fast-forward a few months, to when I spoke in front of 200 people. I was still nervous about public speaking but I knew the audience wanted me to succeed. So, instead of focusing on my own fears, I focused on serving my audience. And in that way I became a confident speaker. 几个月很快过去了，又到了面对200人演讲的时刻。这次我仍然很紧张，但我明白观众希望我成功。所以，我并没有将焦点放在自身的恐惧上，而是将注意力集中在为观众服务上。这种方法使我成为一名自信的演讲者。 |
