3-minute civic seminar speaker

I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels the need to avoid older uncles and grandfathers.
Even if you want to be close to them, you’re naturally distanced from them because they’re constantly berating you.
We find adults difficult, and they find fault when they look at us, which makes us uncomfortable with each other.
I still remember the time I sat down cross-legged on the subway as soon as a seat became available, and the old man next to me slapped his knee and yelled at me to lower my leg.
I quickly said, “I’m sorry,” and lowered my legs, not really knowing what I was sorry for.
Last summer, I was walking through Hapjeong Station in my short pants when an elderly man grabbed me and shouted in disbelief.
“Is this the pool!”
I was dressed casually, not in the “missing bottoms fashion” that’s so popular these days, but there was a definite “need for advice” sparkling in his eyes.
Like water and oil, we try not to mix.
Adults who feel the urge to throw things at the “conceptless youth” on television, who feel their teeth chattering as they watch.
Or we look at the arguments between the elderly and the young on the subway and feel the urge to point fingers.
After all, aren’t we all interpreting, judging, and disagreeing with each other’s perspectives in our own way?
I have some advice for young women in particular.
When you’re in trouble, saying things like, “Why are you doing this to me?” only escalates things.
You need to have the wisdom to get out of it.
Otherwise, it’s easy to reinforce stereotypes about adults.
‘They’re stuck up, they have a narrow view, they’re more upset when they talk.’
I wonder if I’ve been guilty of these stereotypes myself.
Suddenly, I remember an old man who used to sell at a bazaar.
He was holding a 3,000 won imitation pearl necklace and said to a lady.
“It costs 3,000 won, but when you wear it, it looks like 300,000 won.”
In just half a second, the necklace was sold, and she showed an ease and class that the young man yelling next to her couldn’t match.
It was a moment when I realized the phrase, “You can’t fool the years.”
That’s when I realized.
I realized that age is not just something you eat, but a time of life experience and wisdom.
When we make an effort to understand each other better, maybe we can bridge the gap.

3-minute speech at a civic organization seminar

A Crisis of Familism, a Crisis of Humanity
They say familism is on the rocks, but isn’t this a human crisis?
In a survey, when families were asked how many times a week they eat together, the unexpected answer was “once or twice.” With busy schedules, dads are eating at different times, moms are eating at different times, kids are eating at different times, and increasingly, they’re not eating at home at all.
We’re living today without a sense of where we’re going or even a direction in life.
In an age where even what is most important in life has become blurred, what is in the hearts of modern people?
If children grow up like this, without sharing even a single meal with their families, won’t future generations have no idea where and why they should learn the importance of family?
The meaning of eating together
Of course, eating together isn’t necessary for love to exist, but eating isn’t just about satisfying hunger.
It’s the face-to-face conversations at the table, the casual “salty, fresh, delicious, what’s next,” that builds family bonds.
The warmth of eating a plate of vegetables together, of sharing a bowl of stew with each other, penetrates deep into our hearts.
Family is formed in the smallest of settings, in the smallest of conversations.
It’s not the big, heavy topics, but the everyday laughter and small talk that bonds us together.
In between, we learn to love, we learn to put aside our selfishness, and we learn to be together.
These are all things you can’t learn outside of family.
The power of family, the opportunity for resilience
As a society, we live with a lot of hurt.
But when families comfort and support each other, we learn new ways to love, develop responsibility, and practice patience.
When we model all of this for our children, and when there is a positive commitment to “let’s try to do better,” the family can be a place of true recovery.
If family disappears, what is left?
What would a family without a meal bring to us?
It’s time to take this simple but important meal between family members seriously.

3-minute speech by an environmentalist at a civic organization talk

Hello, everyone.
Thank you very much for your interest and support for the environment.
I am greatly encouraged by the passion and concern for the environment of so many of you here today.
To be honest, I often feel frustrated in the environmental movement. No matter how much I shout at the top of my lungs, people’s actions seem to sparkle for a moment and then go back to the drawing board.
But I decided not to give up, I decided to come back to the same place, change my strategy, and reach out to you once again to spread the word about the importance of the environment.
Now I don’t just want to promote, I want to make a difference in your life through repeated messages.
For example, Africa is known as the land of no cold, and even here, humans have survived and adapted to the environment.
There is even an interesting story that at one point, humans started walking on two legs instead of four to escape the hot surface and find fresh air.
But what about modern humans?
Most of us find it difficult to survive the summer without air conditioning.
Houses, especially those located under rooftops, heat up in the morning and often don’t cool down until the evening.
Then we turn on the air conditioner.
But the refrigerant in these air conditioners, Freon gas, is a major contributor to accelerating global warming.
The hotter the planet gets, the more we use refrigerators and air conditioners, which in turn spew more hot air into the streets, and the cycle continues.
There’s only one way to break this vicious cycle.
It’s to change one of our habits and break the link.
For those of you who say you can’t give up because it’s hot, let me ask you this.
If we don’t deal with the small discomforts of today, we’ll soon be facing a summer that’s twice as hot as it is now.
We need to stop before we get to the worst of it.
Summer is a hot season by nature.
During the hot season, it’s natural to accept the heat for what it is.
A home that can withstand the heat without air conditioning is a home that thinks about the future.
We want our lives to be able to pass on a sustainable environment to the next generation.
Let’s create a planet where we can breathe in natural breezes, not artificial ones.
Thank you for listening.
May your home and future always be in peace.

3-minute speech by a travel writer at a civic lecture

Good morning, fellow citizens.
For this morning’s talk, I’m on a train, which is also a journey.
I stood still and watched the people bloom and settle in the landscape unfolding through the window.
What a joyful and delightful time.
I’d like to start my talk by thanking you all for giving me the gift of this time of travel.
As a travel writer, I’ve been to a lot of places.
One thing I’ve learned along the way, one thing I want to share with you today,
“is that the more you travel, the more you see the world.
I’ve been exposed to new cultures and new worlds,
I realized how much I had been living in a narrow box.
This realization came to me in Tibet, my first travel destination.
Despite its heartbreaking history, Tibet is a land of simple people and warmth.
While there, I was lucky enough to witness a traditional Tibetan funeral ritual, the Chojang.
Watching the white powder of bones scatter from the high mountains,
I felt ashamed of all my prejudices and greed.
That funeral was not about desecrating or desecrating the body,
it was the kind of pure-hearted burial that only a man without greed can give.
It was an invaluable realization that I would never have known if I hadn’t left.
There was another side of life there that I would never have seen if I had stayed in one place.
This, my friends, is why traveling is not just a leisure activity.
It’s a full-body experience of a different world, a different way of life.
The experience will broaden your horizons, thrill your heart, and enrich your soul.
That’s why I like to think I write with my heart, not my hands and head.
The things I see, hear, and feel while traveling,
and that is the true source of my writing.
Traveling doesn’t have to be about luxury or crowded sightseeing.
Visiting a beautiful temple in Korea, or going on a road trip is a great way to travel.
It’s about taking a step away from the everyday life that suffocates you,
and reflecting on your smallness in a big world,
That’s what traveling is all about and what makes it truly rewarding.
The world becomes a bigger place the moment you decide to travel.
This year, go where your feet lead you.
And discover a world you never knew existed,
and you’ll be rewarded with small epiphanies and big surprises.
Thank you for listening.

Speech Training Coworker 3-minute speech

Everyone, today we’re going to talk about good habits.
As our saying goes, “An ant’s hole breaks the dike.”
The lesson is that neglecting small things can eventually lead to big, unexpected changes.
Breaking bad habits often requires more patience than curing a physical illness.
This is because it’s easy for humans to get stuck in past habits and behaviors.
Bad habits may seem insignificant at first, but they grow and eventually have a major impact on our lives.
After all, it’s not just a matter of behavior, it’s a matter of mindset and attitude.
Therefore, breaking bad habits requires a consistent effort to improve your mindset, just like treating a physical illness.
Bad habits don’t disappear overnight.
That’s why self-improvement is best accomplished by starting with small changes and sticking with them.
For example, just as we replace dirty water in a bucket with clean water a little bit each day, so too should we improve our habits gradually.
One of the things that successful people have in common is that they create and practice habits that ensure their success.
In fact, many successful people have good habits in even the smallest parts of their lives.
They use habits to improve the quality of their lives and build a foundation for achieving their goals.
Fortunately, all habits are learnable.
You can learn any habit you feel you need and want.
With determination and discipline, you can shape your character and personality in the direction you want it to go.
Developing good habits that bring health, happiness, and real progress in our lives is perhaps the most important goal of all.
So, let’s break free from bad habits and start building good ones.
We wish you a bright smile, clear thoughts, positive actions, and a life full of conviction and pride as you work on your habits.
The sooner you break free from bad habits, the sooner you’ll be successful.
Thank you for listening.
This concludes my presentation.

Sports Association Seminar Speaker 3-minute speech

Hello, everyone.
My name is ○○○.
Today, I’d like to talk about the topic of sports.
Sports are always a hot topic in Korea.
There are various sports such as soccer, short track, baseball, basketball, figure skating, swimming, etc,
There are tons of commentators and experts for each sport.
One day, a baseball player said in a post-game interview.
“I was about to burst into tears because of a tricky umpire.”
Upon hearing that, the commentator advised.
“A pitcher shouldn’t be swayed by the umpire’s calls. If you get sensitive to ball calls, your control will be off, so you just have to take it.”
While this makes sense, it’s never easy to put that into practice on the mound.
It’s a huge challenge for athletes to swallow their frustrations and focus on the game.
This situation is perhaps similar to our own lives.
Sometimes we are deeply hurt by words that seem so small and mundane.
The person who said it may not have meant much,
but it can leave a lasting impression on those who hear it.
The words of sports commentators in particular have a huge impact on athletes.
“Why can’t he do that?”
“I can’t understand that mistake.”
These harsh words can leave a mark on athletes.
What if we take a step back and put ourselves in their shoes?
The moment you throw a ball on a fastball course and it’s ambiguously called a ball,
who would be able to get past the frustration?
You feel like all your hard work is for naught,
You might even say to yourself, “I wish the commentator would come out and throw me a ball.”
This thought reminded me of my own past.
I once went through a period of frustration when I was trying to find a job.
I wanted to get a job, but it wasn’t easy, and it seemed like I had given up on getting a job.
During that time, the words I heard around me made it even harder.
“Fix your attitude.”
“Get a part-time job.”
“Don’t bounce from one part-time job to the next.”
Sometimes these words sounded like advice, but other times they felt like they were evaluating and judging my life.
Inwardly, I gritted my teeth, saying, “It’s easy to judge someone else’s life.”
but I had to bite my tongue for fear of further criticism.
The experience led me to a resolution.
“Let’s not judge other people’s mistakes or failures.”
Of course, a referee has a role and responsibility to be a referee, and a commentator has a role and responsibility to be a commentator.
But I think we need to try to put ourselves in the shoes of the person who failed, the party who made the mistake.
Isn’t it important to try to use softer words, to look at the other person with a warmer gaze?
Wouldn’t that be a little less hurtful to the parties and their families?
Thank you for listening.

Sports Seminar Instructor 3-minute speech

Think about ‘Korea in the world’. There are many different images of Korea in the minds of people around the world. Digital powerhouse, semiconductor powerhouse, Samsung, and Park Ji-sung are just a few examples. Among them, athletes play a big role in promoting the country’s image. Through sports, we feel fierce patriotism and shout as one. “Korea!” as one.
In tennis, we remember Arthur Ashe, who became the first black man to win a major championship at the 1968 U.S. Open, demonstrating that the reason blacks were not good at tennis was not a matter of race, but of poverty. Ash’s victory broke down the racial barrier to some extent, but the Western-centric structure remained unchanged. A black man had proven that he could win, but it was still a time when the prospect of an Asian winning still seemed remote.
Until she won a major, golf was a sport that was far removed from the rest of us, a sport for white Westerners. But Park’s victory broke down that barrier. It was more than just an athlete’s achievement; it broke down psychological barriers and opened us up to the possibilities of an era of internationalization. It was a pivotal moment that gave us the confidence to say, “We can do this too.” Remember the 2002 World Cup?
If you remember the 2002 World Cup, we were in a frenzy. When South Korea won game after game against European powerhouses, the world was amazed, and we felt proud, as if we were the center of the world. At that moment, we were more than a soccer powerhouse, we were a global entity.
Just as when a dike breaks, water from both sides eventually mixes, achievements like Park’s win opened up a new world for us. After her success, Koreans became known as “the proud people who conquered America,” and the world began to seem flatter and closer.
Even now, Korean athletes continue to excel in various sports, boosting our pride. I hope that sports will continue to provide great comfort and courage to our people. At the center of this will always be our athletes, and we should be proud of their hard work and dedication.
Thank you.

Sports Seminar Instructor 3-minute speech

Good afternoon, everyone.
It’s a real pleasure to be here today.
First place, the shadow behind it
“First place” means a lot, especially in the world of sports. The self-doubt that athletes feel when they don’t win a gold medal or a championship is unimaginable. This is partly due to the social climate and national consciousness that emphasizes “first place”.
The psychological stress on athletes is more than we realize. We need to start thinking about how we can help athletes find true happiness on and off the field, instead of just focusing on creating “number one athletes”.
Athletes experience challenges that the average person experiences over a long period of time, but in an extremely compressed timeframe. In most sports, athletes retire around the age of 30, and in sports like gymnastics and ice skating, athletes can be called “old” as early as their mid-20s.
Unlike the average person who starts out in their 20s, gains experience in their 30s, and finds their own way in life in their 40s and 50s, athletes go through all of that in less than a decade, and then have to prepare for the daunting “second half” of their lives after retirement.
The need for humanities in sports!
Athletes need a humanities education.
They need to learn how to imagine their future after retirement and how to have healthy relationships with fans and media.
Gaining the wisdom to overcome slumps and injuries through sports psychology or rehabilitation programs.
Gaining the confidence that sports is not inferior to other social arenas.
All of this helps athletes build a strong sense of self.
This humanistic approach goes beyond the academic realm and offers practical solutions that athletes can take back to their own lives and translate into concrete actions.
As a society, we need to think more deeply about the grueling and intense process of growing up as an athlete and the reality of being thrown into society after retirement without any preparation. To improve this, we believe that the introduction of the humanities in sports is no longer an option, but a necessity.
I deeply appreciate your listening.
Thank you.

Student 3-minute speech in class

Good afternoon, everyone.
My name is ○○○ and I will be giving a presentation on the topic of “Disability and Overcoming” today.
When I came across the topic of “Disability and Overcoming”, I remembered a book I read a few years ago called “Dissatisfaction”, which made me go back and read it again.
When I first came across the book, it was out of simple curiosity.
The author’s face on the front cover surprised me because he has a very honky-tonk face.
The back cover showed the author sitting in a tall wheelchair with only the top half of his body visible.
To be honest, even though I knew that I shouldn’t judge people by their appearance, I felt a sense of pity and relief that this didn’t happen to me.
Up until that point, I had been thinking of disability as something that happened in a ‘different world’.
But the moment I closed the last page of the book, my thoughts changed completely.
Instead, I was overwhelmed with feelings of shame and remorse.
Hirotada Otodake, the author of Five Body Dissatisfaction, was born with a physical disability that left him without limbs, but he was always smiling and living life more positively than anyone else.
He didn’t see his disability as a negative thing.
Rather, he embraced it as just another physical characteristic, and instead of being ashamed of it, he was living a life that was just as valuable as, if not more valuable than, normal people.
I also admire Otodake’s parents for guiding him in this way.
Usually, parents of children with disabilities tend to be overprotective, but Otodake’s parents believed in him completely and helped him develop independence.
Because of this, he never saw himself as an unfortunate person and was able to live a bright and positive life.
Reading this book naturally made me look at myself.
I realized how weakly and sometimes incorrectly I’ve been living my life, even though I have a healthy body.
Says Otodake.
“Disability is inconvenient, but it’s not unhappy.”
With few limbs, he was living a life that transcended his disability, and his story was inspiring and hopeful to many.
Thinking of him gave me the confidence and courage to try my best at anything.
It also made me realize how ashamed I was of the prejudices I had about disability.
I hope my story today has given you courage and enlightenment as well.
Thank you for listening so far.

Classroom presenter 3-minute speech

Good afternoon, everyone.
My name is ○○○ and I will be presenting on the topic of “Returning to the Humanities”.
Recently, I’ve been taking liberal arts classes or classes outside of the humanities, and I’ve been thinking that the humanities are becoming increasingly undervalued.
In fact, if you look at the trend of freshmen’s major choices, you can’t help but worry that the humanities are being neglected.
While college is supposed to be a place of learning, the reality is that students tend to favor majors that are more employable. For example, business majors with guaranteed employment attract many applicants, while humanities majors, which are the foundation of all disciplines, are relatively neglected.
However, as the world becomes increasingly complex and globalized, disciplinary boundaries will be blurred and the humanities will eventually be found to be the foundation of all disciplines.
Just as any building is bound to crumble like a castle built on sand without a strong skeleton, so too will disciplines struggle to maintain their relevance without a humanities foundation.
As a student of the humanities, it’s very unfortunate that such an important discipline is being undervalued.
When I first announced my choice of major, my parents encouraged me to pursue a more employable major.
It was an understandable response in the current job market, but as I’ve studied the humanities, I’ve become more convinced that the humanities are the foundation and core of all disciplines.
What do you think?
It seems that everything goes around in circles, not in a straight line.
You can go on forever, but you always end up coming back to the roots.
The humanities may be marginalized at the moment, but I believe that one day they will be reclaimed.
Because the humanities are the roots of our discipline that we need to return to.
Thank you so much for listening.
I hope this has inspired you to rethink the importance of the humanities.
Thank you.

3-minute classroom teacher speech

In history class, we have learned that when writing history, it is impossible to capture all the events, and that the historian’s subjectivity and abbreviations are involved in the process. It is often said that “history is written by the victors,” and the stories of the victors are valuable to them because they can use them to plan for the future or reflect on the past.
I suddenly ask myself the question. I definitely don’t think so. I still have a long way to go, and right now, I’ve only walked through one small door. However, I’m proud of myself when I think back to the time when I experienced failure in high school and rebuilt my mindset through the retake process.
Before I started my freshman year, I was strategic and determined; I read and listened to countless acceptance speeches, reflected on my senior year, and made a concrete plan for how I would spend my freshman year. An acceptance letter is a piece of history. But knowing that it’s abbreviated, I tried to fathom the struggles and hard work that you don’t see in it.
I reflected on the ‘ordinary day’. We may not all be stars on the silver screen or have glamorous jobs, but our ordinary days are so important to us. Some days we study well, some days we don’t, but all of those days add up to our ordinary days.
You probably won’t have a lightning bolt day and master an entire book. So what is true studying? I believe it’s the steady, meaningful accumulation of ordinary days. Even many successful Seoul National University students look like they’ve been studying hard for three years, but on average, they’ve only spent about six months of intense concentration.
The problem is that many educators view students who can’t study as lazy, unable to study, or weak-willed. I don’t think so; the real problem is that those students haven’t capitalized on their mediocre days. Bottom students are never lazy, never good at school, never weak-willed; they’re just taking each day as it comes.
By consistently putting in just three hours a day, you can become a top student. It’s important to remember that study habits aren’t something you can rely on the school to build – you have to build them yourself.

Teacher’s 3-minute speech in class

People often say things about how to become successful. They say things like, “Do your best, work hard, and focus.” We often think of “effort” as a burst of energy and focus.
But if that’s the only way students understand effort, I say: don’t force it. Real effort is about controlling your enthusiasm, studying consistently, and thinking about sustainability.
For those who have the habit of studying ingrained in them, it’s not an uphill battle. Think of the great scholars – sitting at a desk is second nature to them. They relax and follow their inner, pure curiosity.
While your mind may be racing to solve problems, your heart should be at peace instead of impatient. Why do you think we give up so easily? It’s because we’re overwhelmed with a tight schedule, and a sense of helplessness washes over us, like if one thing goes wrong, everything else will fall apart.
We’re too impatient. We want to get it over with, we want to review it quickly, we want to make it ours sooner. But I want you to take the long view, think long and study long. You have to be sustainable, you have to take long breaths so you don’t burn out. This isn’t just a year of studying and then it’s over, it’s a lifelong process that will take you through three years of high school, four years of college, and into your professional life.
Let go of impatience and take the long view.

Teacher’s 3-minute speech to the class

Good morning, everyone.
The classroom certainly looks a lot different now that the SATs are over.
Some students are reading mystery novels, some are watching movies on their portable devices, and some are huddled together playing cards.
Regardless of your test scores, you’ve done a great job.
But as I’ve been watching you play cards, I’ve been thinking of something I’d like to talk about.
I’m talking about tarot cards.
People often want to know the future they haven’t yet experienced.
Perhaps it’s because fate is an uncharted territory that no one can know for sure.
What do you think?
Is the future more exciting than the present, which is unsettling because you can’t see it?
Today, we’re going to talk about something you should probably think about before you graduate from high school.
Tarot cards have been used as a divination tool for many years.
A deck contains 78 cards, each with a picture that symbolizes a person, action, event, or personal trait.
For example, the Strength card depicts a gentle young woman taming a lion, while the Death card shows a skeleton in a black cloak.
Tarot card experts lay out a certain number of cards in a specific arrangement and interpret the symbolic pictures and the relationships between the cards.
Those who believe in them believe that tarot cards tap into the subconscious mind and reveal hidden truths about the past, present, and future.
But what about you?
Can you trust the results that come out this way?
For example, let’s say you were about to draw the third card from the right, but then changed your mind and drew the fourth card.
If it turns out that the third card predicted a future as a billionaire, while the fourth card suggested a future of struggling to make ends meet, could our lives really be changed by this one choice?
Believers in fate might consider even this to be a case of fate or destiny.
So I’d ask them this.
“If fate can be so easily turned upside down, can it also be turned upside down again?”
People often believe in fate and are very interested in fortune telling and horoscopes.
But there’s a difference between looking at it for fun and actually putting your life in its hands.
Tarot cards can’t tell you your life.
Don’t think that a single card will determine your future.
The most honest way to see your future is to look at your present self.
If you want to see your future, figure out who you are today.
And if you want to change your future, change your present.
That’s the smartest thing to do.
Thank you.

Classroom presenter 3-minute speech

Hello, everyone.
Today I’m going to talk about a personal development practice that I’ve been practicing.
When I was a junior in high school, my homeroom teacher gave us an unforgettable speech when we were tired of studying for the entrance exam. He was talking about the attitude we should have before entering college and what we should experience when we get there.
There was one thing in particular that he emphasized. At the time, I didn’t easily accept this advice, because I didn’t usually go to the movies, so going to a show seemed like a luxury, and I questioned how it would benefit my life.
However, that all changed when I saw the musical Phantom of the Opera.
The feeling in the theater was indescribable. I was amazed that the human voice could be so beautiful, the magnificent chandeliers falling across the stage was breathtaking, the spectacular stage direction and the actors’ performances were a world unto themselves, and my imagination became much richer than when I read a book, as I recalled lines and scenes from the show in anticipation of “what will happen next?”.
Since then, I’ve been completely hooked on going to the theater. The most recent musical I saw, Story of My Life, left me clutching my ticket and program book in my hand, and it didn’t just leave me impressed immediately after the show, but lingered with me for a day, a week, and a month afterwards.
Now, I make it a point to see a musical or play once or twice a month, and each time, I’m moved and learn something new. They don’t just entertain me; they teach me the meaning of true love, make me realize the futility of betrayal and revenge, and make me think deeply about friendship and relationships. These lessons enrich my inner world and give me important insights into how to live my life.
To summarize, attending a quality theater performance leaves me moved, inspired, and imaginative, and gives me the opportunity to reflect on many of the issues I face in life. It’s a valuable experience that’s hard to get from any self-help book.
I encourage you to find something you love to do and learn, and keep doing it, and that in itself will be your greatest self-improvement.
Thank you.

Classroom presenter 3-minute speech

Good afternoon, everyone.
My name is ○○○, and I’m here today to give a presentation on the topic of “Globalization of the Internet and Its Great Impact”.
The Internet has been active for more than 10 years now.
During this time, the Internet market has expanded faster than anyone could have imagined, and various ancillary markets have been formed based on it.
Korea has become an IT powerhouse, with computers in most households, and nowadays, we have gone beyond one computer per household to an era of multiple devices per household.
Not only that, but the internet culture is also developing at an incredible rate.
The internet has changed many aspects of our lives.
One of them is our relationships.
Before cell phones were ubiquitous, our parents’ generation met friends by calling out their names in front of their houses, or spontaneously bumping into them in the alley where they always played together.
My generation has had cell phones since we were kids, so we’ve been connecting with friends primarily through phone calls.
But what about now that we have the internet?
We now manage our connections through social networks (SNS), platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
There are obvious advantages and disadvantages to networking through social networks.
On the upside, you can expand your network to unimaginable heights, connect with a wide range of people, and share useful information quickly.
But there are also downsides.
Because you don’t interact face-to-face on social networks, it’s harder to feel that human connection, and relationships can be shallow and broad rather than deep and authentic.
Despite these drawbacks, social networks are creating a new paradigm for networking in the 21st century.
Today, people meet on Facebook, say hello on Twitter, and keep up to date on Instagram and other platforms.
Businesses are capitalizing on this shift by trying their hand at social network marketing, which has proven to be fast-paced and highly effective.
The world is constantly changing.
We can’t predict exactly what it will look like in the future, but it’s clear that we can’t explain it without computers and the internet.
Social networks will continue to proliferate and play an increasingly important role in the future.
Of course, the old ways of networking are still important.
But for those of you who have yet to experience social networks, I encourage you to get out there and see what this new world has to offer.
After all, we need to keep up with the times.
Thank you very much for listening to my presentation so far.

Classroom presenter 3-minute speech

Good morning, everyone.
Just the other day, I read in the newspaper that a man who was dubbed “Britain’s luckiest man” had won about 10 billion won in the lottery, spent it all in 13 years, and eventually committed suicide.
When you think about it, 10 billion won seems like an enviable amount of money to live on, but surprisingly, we don’t hear many stories of lotto winners ending their lives happily ever after.
The lottery winner was a hard-working factory worker with a good reputation. He was on a high after his win, ranking 61st on the Sunday Times’ Young Rich List. At the time, he vowed to “use his fortune to fulfill dreams that have always been out of reach.” Thirteen years later, however, he was broke, and ultimately made tragic choices.
What do you make of this story?
Every once in a while, maybe once a week, or even once a month, I imagine the glory of winning the top prize in the lotto. I can lose track of time in my happy fantasies as I plan my winnings. It’s a fun fantasy.
But in reality, the money doesn’t necessarily bring happiness to the person in the situation.
Humans are a fascinating species. Unlike other animals, we’re greedy, and we crave more and more. Once we reach our initial goal, we’re never satisfied, and we’re always screaming “more, more, more”.
That’s why we’re often told to set a target price in advance when trading stocks, so that we don’t lose our focus. But our greed is never-ending, and it’s human nature to want more, to look higher.
But I’m here today to tell you one thing, and I want to make sure you know it.
As we’ve seen, the more greedy we get and the more wealth we gain, the more we lose.
God doesn’t give us everything.
So when we set out to do something, we should always keep our eyes on the prize: dream, think, and act only as far as the goal we set out to achieve.
Remember, that’s the fastest path to happiness.
Thank you for listening to me today.

hello.
You are history students who are studying and researching Korea’s history with me. I feel a sense of responsibility and security knowing that I have colleagues who are learning and exploring history.
When studying history, there is a problem that we constantly face, especially in Korean history. This is the distortion of history. Why does our history have to be distorted? Is it that even the discipline of history cannot escape the logic of power?
It’s often said that history is “the record of the victors. This implies that history is not a narrative of objective facts, but rather a narrative shaped by the victors from their perspective.
Consider the Japanese occupation of Korea, a time we don’t like to remember. Unfortunately, the victor was Japan, not us, and it’s also the time when the distortion of Korean history was at its most extreme.
As students of history, we have a sense of duty to present as much evidence as possible and to uncover the single historical truth that is closest to the facts. We work tirelessly to do this by studying tons of literature, traveling to the sites, and reviewing papers with varying opinions. This process is essential to ensuring the objectivity of history.
However, despite the importance of correcting historical inaccuracies, this work is often neglected by many people outside of history. Busy livelihoods and practical concerns often lead to a neglect of history.
In fact, this apathy is probably a natural consequence. After all, most people’s knowledge of history is limited to what they learned in middle and high school civics class, and even then, they likely studied for test scores, treating the subject as something to memorize rather than something to take seriously.
But this reality leaves us with a sad state of affairs. Isn’t this indifference the reason why our history has been at the mercy of foreign powers and hasn’t stood up for itself?
There is no present without the past, and if Korea is to move forward on the path of true wealth and strength, it must rectify its past. That duty lies with us, the students of history.
Thank you for listening.
May we all never forget our efforts to correct history in order for Korea to stand upright.
Thank you.

Good morning, everyone.
The secret of how our thoughts and willingness to change become hardwired into our constitution and habits as naturally as the beating of our heart is in our brain. Our brain strengthens certain neural networks through repetition of behavior. This process is built steadily, like a tree growing and extending its branches, so we should use our brain as a starting point for change.
Our brains need to see a habit or behavior repeated enough times for synapses to form so that it doesn’t cause resistance. The reason it’s so hard to form new habits is that the brain has a natural tendency to maintain old, familiar patterns. Because of this, it takes at least 21 days of conscious effort for good habits to become ingrained, and even longer for bigger goals.
But if you set a goal, and incorporate the three ways below into your daily routine to help you succeed, you’ll find that after a few days, your eyes will shine with confidence and motivation that you can do anything. Use them to plant the seeds of change and build the foundation to grow them.
1. Move your body.
When you move your body, more energy goes to your brain, and your brain begins to activate on its own. Don’t just use your muscles through exercise, but feel your brain and body engage and reenergize through movement. For example, a simple stretch or walk in the morning can be enough to energize you for the day.
As blocked energy channels in your body are unblocked and energy is sent to every nook and cranny of your body, you’ll feel energized and motivated to put that energy to work. The energy you build through exercise isn’t just a physical boost; it’s a powerful force that can change your thoughts and behaviors for the better.
You’ll start to want to challenge yourself and feel more confident that you can accomplish anything. If you’re feeling drained and lethargic, instead of beating yourself up, you should focus on replenishing your body’s energy. Start by making small changes. When you move yourself, changes within you will follow.
2. Learn and harness your energy.
In order to master the energy flowing through our bodies, we must first be able to control our emotions – anger, joy, fear, sadness, and rage. It’s important to recognize how our emotions affect our behavior and decisions. This is the first step to taking control of yourself, and it also goes a long way toward understanding the flow of energy.
Mastering your energy means being able to make positive and productive choices in your daily life, rather than being easily swept away by the emotions of anger, sadness, and rage. It’s not about suppressing your emotions, but learning to understand and harness them. This way, you can take your energy to a higher level, rather than being swayed by the ups and downs of your emotions.
Try meditating to get in touch with yourself, or make it a habit to spend five minutes a day in silence and breathing. When your energy is flowing harmoniously, you’ll find a sense of inner calm that can fuel you through your day.
3. Develop the ability to discern information for self-affirmations.
Most successful people are those who have discovered and mastered the unlimited power within themselves, whether they realize it or not. The reason they’ve been able to harness their power and successfully manifest their will is because they’ve learned to discern the negative information that’s holding them back, and to take ownership and produce creative information.
Along with this, building the power of self-affirmation involves consistently practicing small actions that encourage yourself. Sometimes, the simple act of reminding yourself of all the things you’ve done well at the end of the day can make a big difference. When you fill yourself with positive information, that energy builds up inside of you and helps shape the direction of your life.
Information is more than just an accumulation of knowledge; it’s powerful when it leads to action. By sifting through the information you need and putting it into action, you can realize true self-affirmation.

Good morning, everyone.
I want to ask everyone here, what does “success” look like in your mind?
Everyone wants to be successful, right?
I don’t think there’s a person in the world who doesn’t want to be successful. But before we set our sights on success, we need to be clear about our own definition of success.
What is success to you?
Is it about acquiring great wealth?
Is it about achieving great fame?
Or is it about living a life that anyone would envy?
And why is that?
Let’s pose a question here: why do we want wealth and fame, and why do we want to live an enviable life?
After all, we all want to be successful in order to be happy. We want to achieve self-fulfillment.
So, how do we become successful?
Have you ever heard of the movie or book “The Secret”?
The common message in “The Secret” and its companion book, “Dreaming in the Attic,” is that “if you ask for it, you shall receive it.
Some of you might be thinking.
“How can wishing for something make it happen?”
“Will I ever succeed if I just wish for it?”
But the truth is, when we want something badly enough, all of our energy naturally starts to be directed toward that goal.
The power of positive energy, in particular, overwhelms negative energy.
Desire what you want to do, what you want to be, how you want to live.
And then think seriously about what you can do to make it happen.
You want it badly, with a positive attitude, and you consistently think and act toward that goal.
Set a goal, and find ways to make that goal a success.
This may seem like simple mind control, but if you practice it consistently, you’ll soon find that your eyes will glow with confidence and enthusiasm.
From then on, you’ll feel confident that you can take on and accomplish anything.
Most successful people have discovered and harnessed the unlimited power that lies within themselves, and that’s exactly what the core message of The Secret is all about.
All successful people have achieved their goals because they relentlessly pursued them.
Take this to heart and surround yourself with positive energy all the time.
Then success will become a natural part of your life.
Thank you for listening.

Good afternoon, everyone.
I’m ○○○, your presenter for today. It’s a pleasure to be here.
I was wondering if any of you here are into stocks?
Nowadays, with the KOSPI index exceeding 2000, even people who were not interested in stocks are thinking, “Should I do stocks?”
So, why do people invest in stocks?
Most people do it for one reason: money.
Money is so powerful that for some people, it’s their reason for living.
There’s even a movie line that goes something like, “Money is a bully.”
Why do we want to get money so badly?
And how much is money really worth?
We all probably have a desired amount of money in our minds, “How much money do I want to get?” But have you ever thought about why you want to get money, rather than the amount itself?
There are probably a lot of reasons why you want to get money – to buy a house, to buy a car, to never have enough, or to feel happy buying the things you want – and you might even have some crazy answers.
But interestingly, they all boil down to one thing: happiness.
They all boil down to one thing: happiness.
Isn’t that ironic?
Perhaps that’s why money is so powerful and contradictory at the same time.
If you watch the news these days, you’ll often hear about the tragic endings of lottery jackpot winners.
It seems like more money would make everyone happy, but in reality, happy endings are rare.
That’s because there are limits to what money can buy.
Money can’t buy you a blood family, and it can’t buy you true peace of mind and happiness.
Yet we still want money for happiness.
It’s a real contradiction, isn’t it?
I’d like you to ponder this relationship between money and happiness with me.
The world is fair, and what you gain, you must lose.
Isn’t it necessary to be greedy in moderation, and to let go of an excessive obsession with money in order to achieve happiness?
Money can never buy true happiness.
Thank you for listening so far.

Good afternoon, everyone.
Today, the brain has moved beyond the realm of science and is deeply entrenched in education.
What the developed world called the 21st century “the age of the brain” in the 1990s is now a reality, and the word brain has become a familiar term in our personal lives.
If you are sensitive to social changes, you may have already been paying attention to the influx of brain-related books in bookstores for a long time, and it has been quite some time since the keyword for health has shifted from “heart” to “brain”.
Brain science has become a new trend in education, especially when it comes to self-improvement, character issues, focus, memory, and more. With this shift, we’re seeing a steady increase in the number of parents who are seeking counseling and checking their children’s brains.
So where does the secret to a self-directed workforce lie? It’s in the difference in brain utilization habits.
One of the talents that has been gaining attention recently is a self-directed learner. Here’s an interesting example of this: a leading gifted high school in Korea conducted a survey on brain utilization among all students and came up with a surprising statistic.
When asked, “When you’re studying and having trouble focusing, do you have a way to recognize and switch your state?”, over 90% of students answered “yes”.
The most popular ways students mentioned to switch their brain state were
No. 1 was sleep to clear the brain,
Second was walking and meditating,
listening to music,
The internet and gaming,
5th was exercise.
What’s noteworthy about these results is that the majority of gifted students are used to being aware of their brain state and actively changing it – they’ve made it a habit, not just a practice.
In conclusion, the key to self-directed learning is not in mere theoretical knowledge, but in the ability to take action based on experience and make it a habit.
Cognitive training to improve concentration and memory is important, but behavioral training to become aware of your state and change your habits is even more essential.
At the end of the day, a talented person is not someone with a great memory and focus, but someone who is self-aware of their brain function and can manage and utilize it effectively.
How are you utilizing your brain power right now?
Thank you for listening.

Speaker’s 3-minute speech

The road of life has more bumps than flat sections, and we all have moments along the way where we fall or roll over. We may feel ashamed, embarrassed, or frustrated by our failures.
But there’s no shame in the fact that we fall, because we all do. What’s truly shameful is our unwillingness to pick ourselves up after we fall, or our lack of courage to get back up again.
There’s a German saying, “It’s no shame to fall. It’s the staying down that’s the shame.” It’s more than just a saying, it has a deeper lesson.
There is no one who hasn’t experienced failures and setbacks along the way in life. What matters is not being ashamed of failure, but rather the will to get back up.
When you listen to world-class athletes, they consistently say.
“What I’m most proud of is not my achievements, but the fact that I didn’t get discouraged by my many defeats and slumps, and was able to get back up each time.”
That’s true. If you don’t get back up, it’s a great shame, but if you do, that’s your greatest pride.
Think of the dandelion, a common plant we see everywhere. It’s a grass that is destined to be stepped on, but it will always bloom in the bright sun. No matter how painful and difficult it may be, if we have the will to blossom one day, just like the dandelion, we can get back up again, unashamed of our falls.
That will is hope, not despair; it’s a spirit of challenge, not resignation.
Failing to get back up from a fall is giving up on all the hard work you’ve put in. Giving up and quitting are the biggest obstacles we face as humans, and our daily struggle is a fight against them.
