Chapter 30: Don't Lose Your Way
Ge Yunfei, who was standing not far behind Ye Li, shook his head secretly, Ye Li did have his own talent, his wit, and in the situation of stage fright just now, he mobilized the atmosphere in time and aroused others' recognition and curiosity about him, which was very good.
But he thinks that this kind of wit is taking the road of the sword and taking the edge of the sword, and it can't become an atmosphere, and just thinking about this kind of wit may be able to give other students recognition, but it can't create other students' admiration for Ye Li.
However, he immediately shook his head, Ye Li was only a fourteen-year-old student, and it was already very good to be able to do this, and he was still demanding so much to do, after all, he was worried that Ye Li would have complete stage fright and would not be able to get off the stage.
At this moment, Ye Li felt that although he had mustered up his courage, his voice was trembling a little, he took a deep breath, maintained his peace of mind, and then said according to the Zen principles in a Buddhist book he had read in his memory: "In a small town, there are two teenagers Ya and Mo Nan who were caught stealing sheep, and according to the local demeanor, they must be branded with the English letters ST on their foreheads, which means SheepThief, stealing sheep." ”
Ye Li paused, and found that most of the students in the audience seemed to be a little distracted, obviously not interested in his story, he couldn't help but raise his voice a little, and continued: "IELTS because he felt that it was a great humiliation, so he wandered alone in the distance, but people often ask him what the words on his forehead mean, he was in pain all day, and Zuihou died of depression. ”
In the local area, Mo Nan bravely faced his hometown fathers and elders, and proved his change with concrete actions, and year after year passed, Mo Nan re-established a good reputation in the local area. When he was old, a passing traveler curiously asked the locals what the letters on the man's forehead meant. ”
At this moment, Ye Li paused again, glanced at the audience, and found that although there was still noise in the audience at this moment, many people's eyes were staring at him tightly, and they had been attracted by this story.
Then Ye Li smiled slightly and said, "Oh! I don't know, but it could be Saint, the abbreviation of Saint! The locals replied proudly. ”
Ye Li seemed to be able to see the expressions of everyone in the audience, although there were still some people who still disagreed with each other, but many students began to think about it.
Ye Li continued: "When your heart is lost, or it is already asleep, then wake it up quickly! Get back on your feet and move forward instead of forever regretting the past. As long as you have principles in your heart, you will not be confused by gains and losses, and your mood will not be burdened by gains and losses. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Li paused, because he found that the story he remembered in his mind was finished, but the students in the audience did not react, and there was no trace of applause.
Not enough...... Not enough to impress them, not enough to make them identify with themselves......
Thinking of this, Ye Li's countless thoughts in his mind turned quickly, and in an instant, he had already found an article by Carnegie, the father of modern adult education in the United States, in his mind.
So he digested and absorbed it, and turned it into his own language: "There is another story that takes place in Italy, there is a famous movie star named Sofia? Phil, who has made more than 60 films, won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1961. But at first, she suffered numerous blows. She is too tall, her hips are too wide, her nose is too long, her mouth is too big, and her chin is too small, unlike ordinary movie actors, even if a producer takes a fancy to her and takes her to try the lens many times, but the photographer complains that because of her facial problems, she can't be photographed beautifully. And at this moment, the producer put forward a condition for her......"
Ye Li paused, noticed that the students in the audience were showing curious eyes at this moment, and began to listen attentively, the noise was almost negligible, and he couldn't help but secretly take luck.
A few days ago, when he was surfing the Internet, he stumbled upon information about this speech. That movie star in the previous life was called Sophia? Roland, and Sophia of this shijie? Phil's experience was so similar that he gave it almost without a second thought.
Carnegie, the founder of modern interpersonal education in the West, known as the greatest spiritual teacher of the 20th century and the master of success, did not appear on this shijie.
And this article is from Carnegie's "The Weakness of Human Nature".
The New York Times once said that in addition to Statue Liberty, the spirit of Carnegie is a symbol of America. Carnegie's The Weakness of Human Nature, on the other hand, has been regarded as the bible of social skills in the West for 70 years since its publication.
Ye Li talked eloquently at this moment: "The producer's condition for her is that if you really want to do this, you will have surgery on your nose and buttocks." But Sophia refused, she said: I have to look like everyone else? I know that the nose is the center of the face, it gives character to the face, and I like that my nose and face remain the way they are. As for my hips, that's part of me and I just want to keep it the way I am. ”
Hearing this, many students in the audience laughed a little knowingly, they already understood the meaning of Ye Li's story.
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Yes." As everyone knows, she is constantly honing her acting skills, determined to rely on her inner temperament and superb acting skills to win, zuihou she succeeded, and about her long nose, big mouth and other characteristics, on the contrary, became the standard of beauty. And she was even named one of the most beautiful women in this shijie in the 20th century. In her autobiography, she said: I don't imitate anyone, I never follow fashion like a slave. All I want is to look like myself, I have to be. ”
Hearing this, many students showed their eyes in approval and felt the inspiration of this story.
Seeing this, Vice Principal Chu's complexion changed a little, looking at the serious expressions of the students in the audience, he suddenly felt a little remorseful, he did everything possible to force Ge Yunfei to agree to let Ye Li make this impromptu speech, he thought that he had achieved his goal, but he didn't expect that Ye Li could perform so well, which made his Jihua a mess! For a while, he felt a trace of jealousy towards Ye Li.
And Ge Yunfei looked at Ye Li's gaze, more and more surprised, and thought to himself: This Ye Li has changed so much in an instant from the youth just now, and now he is getting better, this is really a great progress! However, there are still flaws, he is not at ease in integrating speeches and inciting the atmosphere, and if he can use body language, his speech level will be on a higher level......
Just when Ge Yunfei and the others thought that Ye Li's speech would end, at this time, Ye Li made a move that surprised them all.
At this moment, Ye Li suddenly picked up the microphone in his hand, put it on his chest, and then patted it gently, causing the microphone to sound a dull collision sound.
"What is he going to do?" Many students in the audience showed surprised expressions, you must know that Ye Li can perform so brilliantly, it is already very difficult, is he too excited now?
And Ge Yunfei was surprised, he just thought that Ye Li didn't use body language, but now Ye Li actually used it. It's just that he doesn't understand the meaning of Ye Li's action at this moment.
"There will always be some people who will lose their temper in addition to success!" Looking at this scene, Vice Principal Chu behind him came out with a hint of mockery on his face.
At the moment when Vice Principal Chu showed a mocking expression, Ye Li straightened up and said, "I just shared my experience with you. And I came to our big family, hoping to have more friends, we can communicate together, and make progress together. If you have an apple, I have an apple, we exchange with each other, we still only have one apple, but if you have a mind, I have a thought, we communicate with each other, then we have two minds! ”
Ye Li slapped his chest with the microphone again, and said sincerely and affectionately: "Here is my fiery thoughts, I hope everyone can come over, communicate with me more, and give me more pointers." I'm done, xiexie guys. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Li put the microphone back in place, bowed down, and bowed deeply to the audience.
Seeing this, the audience immediately cheered, and countless applause rang out.
Hearing Ye Li's words, they were deeply moved in their hearts, and at the same time, they had accepted Ye Li's arrival in their hearts.
Such a person is progressing with the students of their first high school!
This is the pride of a high school.
Vice Principal Chu's mocking smile was still nailed to his face, but he immediately froze in embarrassment, and then suddenly turned red, coughed a few times, and felt that his face was hot.
I really didn't expect this Ye Li to hide it deeply, he has such language ability and infectious energy at a young age, and the stage fright at the beginning is probably just not suitable for the atmosphere of this school!
This boy should not be underestimated...... Vice Principal Chu's eyes flashed with light.
Ge Yunfei finally showed an admiring gaze this time, thinking: "Ye Li's typhoon is really good, and Zuihou he can actually move people with emotion, this is really not simple!" I still underestimate him! The exchange of two thoughts, and the use of a microphone to pat the chest to mean thoughts, this is the first time I have seen this kind of statement and practice, although the language is simple and simple, but it is easy to understand, and the action is infectious, not bad......"
And at this moment, in a corner of the audience, a girl smiled sweetly, showed a natural expression, and said to herself: "What a cute speech." It's perfect for the cover of the school magazine! His typhoon is so good, if I go on stage, I will definitely cry. But since he gave such a good speech, the kind of stage fright at the beginning must have been deliberately pretended, to win the sympathy of others, hmph, I want to ask him directly! See what he has to say! ”
Suddenly, she clenched her fist lightly, looking at Ye Li's eyes full of challenge.
