每天說英文挑戰 (2022.03.18)

Morning everyone,

Today, I would like to share one of my favorite TED talks. The title of this talk is“8 secrets of success,” and it’s given by Richard St. John. 

The talk was recorded in 2005, and I first watched it on YouTube in 2007, as far as I can remember.  So since then, the 8 secrets given in this talk have been my principles.

Of course, I can’t say that I have been acting on these 8 secrets thoroughly, but they have indeed helped me make many decisions much more easily.  So here are the 8 secrets:

Among these 8 secrets, I personally find “persist” pretty challenging. Therefore, I’ve been trying hard to figure out different ways that can motivate myself to continuously work toward my goals. 

I hope you find some inspirations from this talk as well.

Have a nice day.

大家早安，

今天，我想分享我最喜歡的TED 演講中的其中一個。這個演講的題目是「成功的 8 個秘訣」，由 Richard St. John 主講。

演講是在 2005 年錄製的，就我所記得，我是在 2007年在 YouTube 上第一次看這段演講。 所以從那時起，這次演講中提到的 8 個秘密，一直是我的原則。

當然，我不敢說我一直都有徹底執行這8個秘訣，但它們確實幫助我更輕鬆地做出許多決定。 所以以下是這8個秘密：

熱情 passion

勤勞 work

精通 good

專注 focus

強迫 push

服務 serve

創意 ideas

堅持 persist

在這 8 個秘訣中，我個人覺得「堅持」非常具有挑戰。因此，我一直在努力尋找不同的方法，來激勵自己不斷朝著目標努力。

希望你也能從這段演講中找到一些靈感。

祝你今天過得愉快。
