重新回歸土馬后，收獲不斷，抓緊時間梳理一下。
一、再次挑戰(zhàn)英文演講
伴隨著Startups Toastmaster第7期活動的收尾，我完成了AC7演講，終于離AC10不遠(yuǎn)了這一次是英文的演講，我為了呈現(xiàn)一次更有料有自信的表現(xiàn)，提前作了一些準(zhǔn)備。
√?購買了手機(jī)版羅塞德石APP，沒事練一練
√ 學(xué)英語這件事在我的生命中來回?fù)u擺，拿起、放棄、拿起、放棄了無數(shù)次，這一次，從內(nèi)心和自己保證，再也不反彈了
√ 把過去曾經(jīng)在學(xué)英語上的投資都列個清單，結(jié)果嚇了我一大跳，過去到底是有多少無效勞動，浪費了多少時間呀，都這樣了居然還不能把英文作為我的優(yōu)勢擅長之一，這項投資的產(chǎn)出比也太低了吧，真的挺不服氣的。為了過去的沉默成本，很想博一把，就不信了，有那么難的嗎？真的再也不想出門旅行的時候用磕磕絆絆的單詞、短語和外國人交流了。很想用流暢的英文輕松表達(dá)自己的真實感受。
?我問自己，為什么要在這么多亂七八糟的書里學(xué)類似的東西，似乎永遠(yuǎn)都是從頭再來？這樣有意思嗎？這么多年涉及了各種英文資料學(xué)習(xí)，很少有把某一類教材學(xué)的很通透的。我特想追求把一款教材學(xué)精確之后帶來的痛快感。太多次的重頭再來，真的太浪費生命了。
1、新概念第一冊 學(xué)完
2、新概念第二冊 ing
3、新概念第三冊 1、2課
4、step by step 1、2冊，高中的時候 特訓(xùn)班
5、Listen to this 初級 學(xué)完
6、外教 某教材 一半
7、中國老師 某教材 學(xué)完
8、某外教 王府井 學(xué)完
9、中學(xué)國家教材 學(xué)完
10、大學(xué)國家教材 學(xué)的不怎么樣
11、賴世雄教英語初級 學(xué)完
12、賴世雄教英語中級 學(xué)完
13、破冰英語 初級 學(xué)完
14、破冰英語 中級 ing
15、走遍美國 初級 沒學(xué)明白
16、許國璋英語 初級 沒學(xué)明白
17、其他讀物就更別提了，我曾經(jīng)甚至想通過買英文版的機(jī)器貓漫畫書來提高興趣。

二、自我評估
演講前：為了這篇AC7的英文演講稿，我做了一些準(zhǔn)備，先找到一篇以前寫的中文文章作為主體內(nèi)容，設(shè)定標(biāo)題，再用百度翻譯中翻英，接著把翻譯出來的英文部分進(jìn)行部分詞匯修改，就成了英文演講稿。大概對演講稿進(jìn)行了15遍到20遍的演練，分成默念、正常音量演練和使用手機(jī)倒計時器掐時間演練。每一種練習(xí)方法都能快速鎖定演講中可能會出現(xiàn)的問題，并且及時找到應(yīng)對方法和及時優(yōu)化臺詞。
即使講過不少課，每當(dāng)站在土馬演講臺上，仍然緊張萬分。?為了緩解壓力，第一個舉手參與了即興演講環(huán)節(jié)，完全屬于故作鎮(zhèn)定，居然還混上個獎O(∩_∩)O~~Best Table Topics。
演講中：為了增加說服力，提前在黑板上添加了小插圖，在演講過程中邊說邊演示，幫助觀眾更容易理解；為了增加氣場，特意提高了音量；在演講中設(shè)計了角色扮演，自問自答環(huán)節(jié)。由于我永遠(yuǎn)無法做到寫什么演講稿就說什么，所以在正式演講的時候大概有30%都是即興發(fā)揮的，居然還能做到開頭、結(jié)尾相互呼應(yīng)。我也很佩服自己的圓場能力?？傮w7分鐘演講時間用到最后一秒，不多不少。
演講后：很幸運(yùn)，?聽眾給予了我肯定的評價，收獲了Best speaker。
小鼓勵=小動力，今后我要想把英文說的和中文一樣好，still long way to go.

三、附演講稿（呼，寫的好累，終于完成了?_?）
Pay for knowledge or not.
One day last year, a stranger who was a gril came and chat with me via Wechat, she told me: Miss Yuan I tell you, my boss hasn't raised my salary for 5 years, I'm really in a hurry, how can I be like you, how can I be a trainer, what should I do to become a trainer like you?
I replied, dear, I really want to help you, but your question is not that simple that I can tell you within 1 minute, it should be a consulting, we could find a Starbucks and sit down to chat for 1 or 2 hours. You can make a appointment via Zai Hang APP with me.
The girl opened the link I gave to her, ?she was surprised, What? I should pay 500RMB to meet and chat with you? Why you charge me? Why don't you help young people?
I answered, Yes, I'd like to help you, but my time is limited. If you're still hesitating, you can think about it and come to me later.
The story is a common one, but it told the truth, no pain no gain. If the girl doesn't think the help I will give her is valuable, how can she believe after she become a trainer, what she give to people is valuable? ?if you don't respect my time value, I don't have to answer your question.
When you are interested in something,to deal with some problems, you can use two resource, one is money to buy lessons, or invite an expert to chat with one by one,the other one is time, you can learn by yourself.But will you prefer money or time? This is a question itself.
My point is, life is short, if I'm still in my 20's, I can do everything to prove my thought, and see if it's right or wrong, but I don't have that much time anymore. Next year January, I'll be 35 years old. For me, I cherish everyday and I'd rather use money to buy time.
?Let's imagine, if you have 100 books, 99 are downloaded from net for free, one 1 is bought. Which one you will like to read first? I think most of you will choose the book you have paid for. Every book represents a writer's 30 year wisdom, if you read one book, you will gain 30 years wisdom, if you read 100 books a year, you will gain 3000 years wisdom. If you want to learn something, pay for a lesson will be the best choice, every lesson represents a teacher's at least 5 years wisdom, so never hesitate to pay for all those wisdom. Knowledge is like a mountain, some people who have paid a lot of money, time and effort to come to the top, you are still an the mountain foot, the best choice is, pay for it, it always the fasted way to get to the point.
Next time, when you want to solve some problem or learn something you really like, ask yourself, you want to pay money or time for it? Trust me, money is your better choice.
Thank you for your listening.?
讓每一次的土馬總結(jié)，都成為一周中重要的成長時刻吧，繼續(xù)探索，繼續(xù)加油！
