3-minute speech for a public speaking engagement

Hello everyone,
Today I’d like to talk to you about the topic “Prepare to be Lucky”.
We often say things like “That person is lucky” or “He’s a lucky president”.
On the other hand, we often think to ourselves, “I’m unlucky” or “I must be unlucky”.
When you see someone win the top prize in the lottery, you envy them for being so lucky.
Of course, that person was lucky. But they won because they were interested in the lottery in the first place and actually bought a ticket.
Now, I’m not here to tell you to buy a lottery ticket.
A similar example is when an actor scheduled to play the lead role in a soap opera suddenly drops out due to illness, the actor who takes his place is considered “lucky”.
But that actor was able to seize the opportunity when it came because he had been working hard and earned the respect of those around him.
The same is true in sales.
Sometimes you get lucky and get a big order. But if you look closely, it’s because you’ve been showing up every day, building trust, and developing relationships.
In the end, you can’t expect luck to come to you without any effort.
Luck comes to those who are prepared.
This means that you have to be interested in it and ready for it to happen.
So what does luck mean to us?
While getting ahead in life and earning a good salary can be important, I think there are four things that make us truly lucky in the workplace
1. having a good boss.
A good boss makes your work life easier.
2. being a good boss.
It’s great to have a boss who is both competent and respected as a person.
3. working with good coworkers and being a good coworker.
Cooperation and trust are great joys in the workplace.
4. doing what you’ve always wanted to do.
If you’re able to do what you really want to do, isn’t that the best luck in the world?
There is no right answer to success at work.
Not everyone can succeed, and not all opportunities are equal.
But doing the best you can under the circumstances and waiting for your luck is something anyone can do.
I wish you all the best of luck today and in the days ahead.
This concludes my three-minute speech on the topic of getting ready for luck.
Thank you for listening.

 

3-minute speech by an AA speaker

Good afternoon, everyone.
I’m going to start off by asking myself if I’m worthy to be here.
There have been many times in my life when I have been a terrible person and ashamed of myself.
But yesterday, my therapist said something that really helped me.
She said that the only people who are truly great are those who have overcome themselves.
She reminded me that I am not small and insignificant for having the courage to change my weak and wrong self.
And that’s what I want to say to you, too.
As you know, we have all suffered similar hurts and pain.
I lost everything, including my family, by turning to alcohol after losing my job.
My weakness was to turn to alcohol to numb the painful reality of my life.
Nevertheless, it was through these treatment meetings that I was able to get back on my feet.
We fought ourselves to be human, endured the pain, beat the alcohol, and eventually beat ourselves.
It reminds me of the mezuzah I used to see at my grandmother’s house in the country when I was a kid.
A chunk of beans, well-trodden, wrapped in straw and hanging from the eaves,
in a room that didn’t get a single ray of sunlight in the winter, and wait and wait and wait to become miso.
Just as a lump of dirt must endure a fire of over 1000 degrees to become a solid clay pot.
We are the ones who endured those hours of fire and the long hours of fermentation.
I’ve been judged a lot in my life.
Some have accused me of not living like a man,
My wife left the house and said something to that effect.
Looking back, it’s been a muddy life filled with regret and shame.
But guys,
let’s give ourselves a pat on the back for today.
For going to sleep without drinking, for being human.
We’ve walked every day like a path of thorns.
We’ve been cut and bruised, and yet here we are, standing again.
Now, no one can easily criticize us or point fingers at us.
I believe.
The pain we’ve suffered is never in vain and will eventually harden us.
And I believe you will too.
I believe that the pain and trials in our lives are part of the process of being molded into the strongest and most beautiful vessels.
I feel a deep sense of camaraderie with all of you in this room.
I dare say, I’m very proud of us.
Thank you so much for listening to my inadequate story.

 

4-minute speech from the conference speaker

Everyone uses public transportation. In a country where we don’t run out of gas, it’s probably a good thing. It’s environmentally friendly, it saves energy, and it has a positive impact socially and economically. But it’s literally “public transportation,” and it’s not without its inconveniences. Everyone is in a mad dash for the 9:00 a.m. rush hour.
Every morning, the entire city feels like one giant battlefield, and while there’s a certain sense of camaraderie in seeing so many people moving toward the same destination at the same time, it’s also exhausting and stressful. You have to make it to work by 9:00 a.m., and the day before, you worked overtime, and you went out to dinner, and you’re exhausted. That fatigue from waking up in the morning and dragging your heavy body to work explodes on the subway or bus. You’re a sandwich with people pushing you from all sides, but you do it anyway. That’s how everyone gets to work and leaves work.
Students are tired because their backs hurt from long hours at their desks, pregnant women are tired because they’re pregnant, old people are tired because they’re old, and office workers are tired because they’re office workers, each with their own aches and pains. This is a space where tired people gather. Everybody is signaling that their backs are hurting, their legs are hurting, so the chairs that are available are coveted and everybody wants to get there first and sit down. How nice it would be if the chair somehow got there first and propped up my ass, or if it came to us on all fours, creaking and creaking from a distance. Maybe the chair is an old god with a skinny, hunched body.
In this landscape of public transportation, small episodes accumulate day by day. I see two women sitting in the old man’s seat. How brave of them, I thought, and looked closer to see that they were Japanese tourists, nibbling on a pamphlet. An old man nudged her leg with his cane to get her to get up. In fact, before that, several old men had rushed into the senior seats as soon as the doors opened, so they would turn around at the sight of them. The subway culture in Japan is a little different from Korea. You don’t give up your seat just because you’re older. You might think it’s disrespectful, but I think it fits in with the Japanese culture of equality. Seeing their embarrassed faces, I felt my own face turn red. I could feel that the atmosphere was quite dark.
As I watched them, I thought. You can’t discuss the physical strength of the elderly without having an elderly body. Sometimes, I see old people and young people fighting on the subway. Most of the time it’s a jockeying for position, with the older one shouting about being rude, the younger one shouting more about freedom and choice, and the younger one complaining about the way I look at them as if I’m telling them to get up. I can’t argue which is right, but what I would like to emphasize is that we are different generations and different cultures. Could it be that the differences between our past and present environments and our different experiences are creating a deep divide between us today?
This chasm, in particular, goes beyond the simple issue of giving up seats and leads to a larger issue of a lack of understanding between generations. While the older generation speaks up for the hard times they’ve lived through and the pain they’ve suffered, the younger generation complains that they, too, are dealing with fatigue and stress in a fierce race to survive – after all, they were born in different times and lived differently.
It would be great if each generation could show a little consideration and tolerance for the other. I believe that the only way to bridge the gap is through communication. I believe that trying to understand the other’s point of view, and having the space to put down and share a little of your own, will eventually make our society warmer. Because in the end, we are people who have to live together under the name of Korea.

 

University lecturer 5 minute speech

Hello, everyone.
It’s a pleasure and a pleasure to be here at ○○ University, the center of intellect. It’s an honor to be here, and I’d like to share a short but meaningful talk with you today.
It’s a tough time to find a job.
And the real economy is still in the doldrums. What’s on your mind these days? TOEIC, getting a job, success, credits… most of these things, right? Today’s universities are no longer just a place of knowledge, but a stepping stone into the world. Many students are in a constant state of planning and preparing for the future, running from one day to the next.
You’re busier than we were in the past. You start studying for the TOEIC as soon as you enter college. You bury yourself in the library for credits. You schedule your volunteer work in advance, and you don’t skip out on clubs to get a few lines on your resume. It’s a straight life of success, of specs, of specs.
Political and social slogans have long been outdated. We wall ourselves off from anything but our own lives and think about our own success in a closed room. But folks, what is success, and is it really okay if the life we dream of just ends with a ‘good job’ and a ‘stable income’?
I stumbled upon a book called Tree, Tree, Tree by Youngbok Shin. He writes, “The uprightness of the foolish changes the world.”
People who are not weak, people who are foolish and upright, people who do not see only themselves in the face of their neighbors’ difficulties… What about you? These people may seem out of step with the times, but are we forgetting that they are the only ones who can really make a difference?
As you know, 4.19 was sparked by the death of a foolish student.
We have the freedoms we have today because of the lives of independence fighters who endured torture, poverty, and misery to stand up to the Japanese regime. What about the smart people back then? Most intellectuals were assimilated into the Japanese system, writing poetry that sent young men off to war, and looking out for their own interests.
The freedoms and rights we enjoy today came from the sacrifices of these seemingly foolish, but truly courageous people, and we should ask ourselves if we are living up to their example.
Friends, for today, put aside all practicality, reason, and calculation.
Be as foolish as the Good Samaritan.
As much as you focus on the TOEIC LC, listen to your neighbor’s tears and tears.
The cries of those who have been forcibly displaced from their homes.
The sorrow of a Vietnamese bride who lost her youth and life in a fraudulent marriage,
and the dreams of young people who continue to pursue their dreams with 800,000 won.
I ask you to listen, to touch, and to think.
What kind of society you will live in. What it should be.
We all live for our own success, but what is true success? Isn’t it about working together to change not only ourselves, but our neighbors, our society, and the world? You shouldn’t just end up as a “racehorse running in a circle.
Otherwise, college is just a job school, not a place of knowledge.
If you don’t learn the tolerance to embrace others, you’re not an intellectual, you’re just a robot programmed to work.
Do you know the story of Ivan the Terrible? In Tolstoy’s fairy tales, there’s a story about Ivan the Terrible. Ivan the Terrible was a fool who would give anything to satisfy his greed, but he ended up appeasing even the devil.
That’s the power of foolishness: it’s often seen as a sacrifice, but it can be the fuel that drives change.
You’re not a racehorse looking straight ahead; you’re a living, breathing human being, looking left and right and far away.
A small touch, a small concern, can make a big difference. When your intelligence and your warmth come together, the world will be a better place to live.
Thank you for listening.
May you all be true intellectuals and socialists.

 

Lecture speaker’s 5-minute speech

As the Western adage goes, ‘The death of an old man is like the loss of a museum’ or ‘If you don’t have an old man in your house, borrow one.’ The experience and knowledge of the elderly living in an area. It is no exaggeration to say that their lives are intertwined with the local culture, the identity of the area. The elderly are not just the bearers of stories from the past, but living witnesses of history that connect the present and the future. Their memories are full of valuable assets that we should learn and pass on.
As medicine advances and life becomes easier and more affluent, the average human lifespan is steadily increasing. These changes are redefining the quality of human life beyond the mere extension of survival. Science fiction is replete with stories of humans dreaming of immortality, creating frozen humans to be awakened in the future, and so on. Many of these stories have yet to be realized, such as the idea that the 21st century will open up roads in the sky and separate the above-ground world from the underground world. However, if we consider the fact that human imagination is becoming reality, the above-mentioned stories may all become reality.
According to the ‘2010 Population and Housing Census’ released by Statistics Korea, 5.42 million people, or 11.3% of Korea’s population of 48.58 million, are aged 65 or older. According to the United Nations’ standards, a society is aging if the number of people aged 65 or older is more than 7% of the total population, and an aged society if it is more than 14%. Korea has already entered an aging society in 2000, and the pace of aging is very rapid. Given the current aging trend, it is possible that the aging society predicted for 2018 may be accelerated. Furthermore, it is expected that we will enter an ultra-elderly society by 2025.
So how should we approach this change? The aging phenomenon is more than just a number, it’s a call for structural change in our society. We can no longer view the elderly as passive, but rather as social assets that can be utilized for their experience and wisdom.
We will all be seniors someday, and as I say this, I wonder if that day will ever come. There are so many things that need to be solved right now, and I’m in a hurry to solve them, but being an elderly person, it’s hard to think about decades from now. When we think of the elderly, the first thing that comes to mind is stodgy old people, pagodas, and socialism, but that’s probably just a stereotype. How we view the elderly will shape how we treat ourselves in the future.
In TV dramas, older people are often portrayed as sages. When a problem arises, the young people immediately run to the elderly for answers. The old person sees the situation and gives wise answers, teaching and guiding the young people. Sometimes this drama makes me cringe. In real life, the elderly we encounter often look like the person who asks for a seat on the subway, or the person who carries a sign shouting “Jesus Heaven Unbelief Hell.” This perception contributes to our society’s view of the elderly as uncomfortable.
Topgol Park is the most popular place for seniors to go. But do you know this: Taegol Park used to be the most visited place by young people. When they get older, they still go to Taegol Park. We don’t go to Taegol Park, we go to Myeongdong or Sinchon. Perhaps in a few decades, Myeongdong and Sinchon will be filled with elderly people, just like Topgol Park is now. Then the young people of the future will move to another place, just as we don’t go to Topgol Park.
We should have a heart of respect and honor for the elderly. We can’t ignore their hard work to get to where we are now. They were the pioneers of the economic development that we have now. We shouldn’t forget that it was their sweat and tears that made our society so prosperous in the past. We should have gratitude and affection for them.
When we change the way we look at the elderly, we can build a better future. Why not try to communicate, why not open our minds to understanding, so that the younger generations of the future will treat us the same way? The past is a textbook from which we can learn to understand, and a stepping stone to the future. I hope today’s talk is not just a reflection on the issue of the elderly, but a small step towards finding a way for all generations to live together.

 

Lecturer’s 5-minute speech

Good afternoon. Dear employees of ○○ Company,
I am here today to make you aware of the importance of interpersonal relationships for a better social life.
Good interpersonal relationships are not a one-time effort.
However, if this lecture changes the way you think about interpersonal relationships and makes you more understanding and considerate of others, your social life will take a more positive turn in the future.
Interpersonal skills aren’t just about getting things done; they’re an important source of happiness and fulfillment at different stages of our lives. It has a huge impact on not only your personal success, but also the performance of your organization as a whole, so understanding and applying it well is essential not only to your career, but to your life in general.
Do you strive to understand others before you understand yourself?
We all want to be understood, but we tend to neglect the effort to understand others.
Much of the stress in our social lives comes from feeling like we’ve done our best and not been recognized for it, or feeling like others don’t understand us as we go about our work.
This is when people struggle with social life because they don’t feel understood. They think to themselves, I’ve tried so hard and no one seems to notice me.
However, interpersonal relationships aren’t just about being recognized. They’re about interaction. It’s more about how much trust you’ve built in your interactions with others, how much effort you’ve put into reaching out and understanding where they’re coming from. When you show trust and respect to others, it’s bound to come back to you. Small changes may seem insignificant, but over time, they make a big difference.
But while you’re thinking about this, I wonder if you’ve ever tried to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Of course, as the saying goes, it’s hard to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes.
If you find it difficult to put yourself in someone else’s shoes, try practicing taking a step back from the situation and looking at it objectively.
Practicing objectivity can be challenging at first, especially when emotions are running high or you’re stressed, and it’s easy to get caught up in defending your own position. But if you make it a habit to set aside your emotions in these moments and ask yourself, “Why did the other person act the way they did?” you’ll be able to see the problem in a new light. And you’ll be on your way to reducing misunderstandings and building a more collaborative relationship.
After all, everywhere we work is an organizational society, and it takes a team effort to achieve good results.
Therefore, rather than having subjective thoughts centered on myself, it will be better to look at the flow of organizational society from a more objective point of view to convince myself and give others the right advice.
Interpersonal relationships are also a tool for solving problems. For example, in a conflict situation, listening to the other person and trying to understand the challenges they face can help you see the essence of the problem clearly. This is key to solving problems more effectively, reducing conflict, and building mutual trust.
It can also give you a more sobering view of where you’ve gone wrong in your own interpersonal communication and why you haven’t been as successful as you could have been.
Once this kind of thinking becomes habitual, you won’t make the same mistakes in other things you do.
You,
Rather than judging others from a personal standpoint, being objective is the best way to ensure smooth interpersonal relationships and communication.
Looking at others objectively doesn’t just solve problems, it deepens and enriches your relationships. In turn, it has a positive effect on yourself, because people are naturally attracted to and trust people who treat them with respect and consideration. Your genuine attitude will be returned in greater measure down the road.
Starting today, I hope you’ll practice taking your own problems less personally, and instead try to step back and look at them with an objective eye. Understanding others is incredibly difficult, but it is possible to prioritize our common goals and judge ourselves and others accordingly. If you can do this, you will quickly begin to understand others.
I hope my lecture will help you in some small way in your social life.
I wish you a smooth social life in the future, and I’ll end this lecture now.

 

Lecturer’s 5-minute speech

Hello, everyone.
Nowadays, it’s the recruitment season for college graduates.
However, it seems that not all college graduates or soon-to-be graduates are looking so bright. The job market is still fierce and difficult, with the word “unemployment” no longer a foreign word. Many young people feel frustrated as they doubt their abilities and hit a wall of reality. But I am here to assure you. Opportunity still exists. It’s just up to you to find them and seize them.
Especially in the second half of this year, the age limit will be removed, which seems like a great opportunity for recent graduates, but when I meet graduates, I don’t see many people who think it’s an opportunity. Is it because they’re intimidated? Or is it because they don’t trust companies?
I think there is a deep distrust of the way companies recruit based on education. Of course, it is true that in the past, you were often evaluated based on your education and specifications alone. But times are changing. Companies are now looking to evaluate candidates on their true potential and practical skills, so how should we prepare for this change?
But from the perspective of the company hiring, isn’t there a reason to look at education and limit age?
What kind of person do they want to hire?
If you hire an older person and put them in the field, will they have a good working relationship with a younger senior and an older junior?
Since there are more senior people who went to so-called good universities, wouldn’t they be better able to work with their seniors to do the company’s work and, as a result, be more effective?
From an organizational perspective, there’s an obvious reason. Organizational harmony is about more than just work ability. People-to-people cooperation, trust, and teamwork are critical to getting things done. At the end of the day, companies want people who can foster these relationships, so it’s important to showcase these skills when you’re applying for a job.
So what’s a job seeker looking to get hired to do? There’s obviously only one way.
You can prove that you not only get along with your junior colleagues, but that you can actually work more effectively with them because they’re older, and that even if you don’t have a lot of seniority, you can relate well to people who do and get them to work with you more effectively than they can.
The question is, how do you demonstrate this in a limited application form and how do you demonstrate it in that short interview process?
This is where a strategic approach comes in. Instead of simply listing your strengths, you should give specific, tangible examples that are relevant to the company’s needs. For example, talk about a previous team project where you solved a problem by mediating a conflict situation, or a time when you brought a new idea to the table that improved the team’s performance. Companies use these real-world examples to judge your potential.
One thing is clear: CEOs face and solve similar problems countless times a day.
As a job seeker, you should take these challenges as an opportunity to showcase your CEO qualities.
CEO qualities don’t just mean leadership; they include problem-solving skills, accountability, and a willingness to constantly learn and grow. It’s important to demonstrate these traits as you prepare for the workforce. That’s because companies aren’t just looking for today’s talent, they’re looking for tomorrow’s leaders.
If a company sees the qualities of a future CEO in a candidate, they will definitely hire them.
It’s a tough job market, but there’s no need to be afraid. Failure is not the end, it’s a new beginning. Learn from your failures and make yourself stronger. It’s your attitude to overcome failure and the growth you gain from it that matters. If you use failure as an opportunity to cultivate the CEO qualities of resilience and perseverance, believing that you can succeed if you try again, being proactive, thinking positively, and acting courageously, you will gain confidence, and you will achieve your end goal.
Everyone, believe in yourself and never stop trying, that passion will eventually open doors, the key to success is in your hands.
Thank you.

 

Speaker’s 4-minute speech

Hello, everyone!
It’s getting a lot warmer now, and it feels like winter’s harsh frost has retreated and the warm spirits of spring have arrived.
I’m so happy to be here with you to celebrate the start of a new season.
To the many moms in the room
A lot of moms put a lot of effort into looking like the perfect parent. I’m sure the same is true for many of you here.
In fact, one study found that many moms lie to other moms about how much TV their kids watch or what they cook for their family in order to appear like the perfect parent.
Moms often feel like they don’t measure up to each other as moms.
Mothers need to be more honest with each other.
I don’t think anyone is perfect, but you think there is a perfect mom, right?
And then you feel guilty when you don’t reach it.
To eliminate the source of guilt for mothers who feel they’ll never be the ideal parent, we need to start by being more honest about our home lives.
The results.
Nearly two-thirds of mothers admitted to being dishonest with other mothers about how well they were coping with their situation, and nearly half admitted to hiding their financial worries.
These results send us an important message. We need to accept each other’s realities as they are and encourage each other.
The pressures of modern life!
For moms who live far away from relatives, it’s increasingly important to make a good impression on other parents.
But this fear of not being the perfect parent doesn’t come from celebrities or glossy magazines.
Parents are under severe pressure from society, and the current parenting culture is encouraging parents to lie and make raising children feel like an accomplishment.
It’s no wonder people feel judged under so many different circumstances.
However, it’s important for parents to stop comparing themselves to other parents, think of it as a competition with themselves, not others, and make the best choices for themselves and their children.
We need to believe in ourselves
I want you to keep in mind that the most important thing is not how you look to others, but how happy and harmonious your home is.
When we strive to create a happy home for ourselves, we realize our true worth, not what others think of us.
And everyone, I want to take this opportunity today to encourage you to make a habit of encouraging yourself.
There will be times when you feel like you’re doing something wrong, but remember that there is no such thing as a perfect parent, and what your child needs is not a perfect parent, but a parent who truly loves them.
I hope you all build happy and meaningful moments in your home.
Thank you.

 

Speaker’s 5-minute speech

Good afternoon, everyone.
I’m delighted to be here with you today to talk about something important.
Many people are caught up in the “knowledge illusion” and the “control illusion”.
The illusion of knowledge is the illusion that the more information you know, the more accurate your predictions will be. But it’s not just about knowing a lot of information, it’s about what you do with it.
The illusion of control refers to the false idea that investors believe they can influence stock prices. For example, the reason more people flock to the lottery than the housing lottery is the illusion that picking their own numbers will increase their chances of winning.
We want to get rich because of these illusions.
I’m sure many of you here have had that dream too, and have taken the hard steps to get there.
You’ve probably heard stories of people getting rich quick in stocks, but you’ve probably never actually seen anyone around you do it. That’s because the illusion of knowledge and control gives individual investors overconfidence and leads them to underestimate risk.
But the reality is much more complicated than you realize.
In the process of investing in stocks, we are exposed to a vast amount of information. At this point, you shouldn’t just accept the information mindlessly – you should think about why this information has come to you, its background and intentions.
Often, people tend to make judgments based on what they see, without analyzing the essence of the event.
For example, being a blue-chip company doesn’t necessarily guarantee a high investment performance. Nor does a high rate of earnings growth guarantee a high rate of return. In fact, there are many examples of stocks in the U.S. that have been highly publicized in the media that have had lower-than-average returns over the subsequent two years. As the saying goes, all that glitters is not gold.
The key to investing in stocks is finding value that others haven’t recognized, and having the patience to wait for others to believe in the value you find. It’s important to remember that investing in stocks is an investment, not just buying and selling.
If you buy a stock because you believe in it and see value in it, take your profits slowly as the stock price rises. If you bought a growth stock and the masses start flocking to it, it’s time to sell and find a new value stock.
Also, decide on a target rate of return before you buy a stock so that you can act on principle and not be swayed by emotions when the stock price rises.
The most important virtues in stock investing are discipline and principle.
You need to have your own convictions and not be swayed by other people’s rhetoric, so please keep that in mind.
Thank you for listening.

 

5 Minute Speech by a Personal Development Speaker

Good afternoon, everyone.
First, let’s take a look at the society we live in. In today’s hyper-competitive world, you need to be better than others to succeed. It is certainly different from the previous era, when success and failure were determined simply by the quantity and quality of information. The phrase “fast-paced” is no longer an exaggeration, and we are constantly faced with new challenges in the workplace and beyond.
It’s important to note that simply gaining more information and knowledge doesn’t necessarily lead to success, which is why I’d like to talk to you today about the importance of effective self-development. To do it right, you need to be strategic about how you do it.
The importance of self-development and how to approach it
When we think of “self-development,” we often think of studying or training to improve our job skills. But we need to recognize that simply studying to improve our performance at work is no longer enough. We need a much broader strategy for how to develop ourselves, especially in today’s fast-paced and unpredictable world.
Today’s workers are constantly striving to improve themselves in order to be better than others. But if you’ve been using “diligence” as your weapon of choice, it’s time to get more strategic. It’s not enough to just do work-related development for the sake of a job change or to increase your salary. What’s important is to try and broaden your horizons by pursuing development in a variety of areas.
Build a portfolio for strategic development
So, what kind of self-development should you do? Just like investing in stocks or real estate, it’s important to diversify your investments across multiple sectors, so too should your personal development.
The key here is to establish four key areas: business, connections, finances, and self-fulfillment. Let’s look at each of these areas in more detail.
1. Business
First and foremost, it’s important to develop yourself for what you’re doing or what you want to do in the future. For example, if you need a higher language score, create a study plan and work on your language skills accordingly. If you need a master’s degree or certification, it’s important to further your expertise by studying in your field. The key thing to remember is to have a clear definition of the professional role you’re aiming for and organize yourself accordingly.
2. Networking
The second is networking. These days, it’s no longer enough to be good at what you do; connections are becoming a very important factor. Life can feel too monotonous if all you do is work on your business. In the tunnel where everything leads to work, we often get burned out and stressed out, and if you can de-stress by expanding your network and interacting with people, you’ll be more effective in your personal development. You may also find that these encounters lead to unexpected business opportunities.
3. Wealth Management
Third on the list is wealth management. It’s probably one of the most important personal development skills, and if you want to achieve financial freedom, it’s advantageous to start taking an interest in it early on. It’s important to build up your basic financial knowledge when you’re just starting out, and it’s also helpful to learn through real-world experience, such as investing in different stocks and funds or attending real estate auctions. It’s important to gain financial stability and set long-term financial goals.
4. Personal Satisfaction
Last but not least, personal satisfaction. We all experience stress in our social lives, and it’s important to develop ourselves in order to relieve this stress and achieve emotional stability. To do this, it’s important to create a space for yourself through hobbies and leisure activities. Whether it’s cooking, flower arranging, folk art, or paper crafts, you can find a way to nurture your creativity and seek emotional fulfillment. These self-fulfilling activities can also lead to business opportunities or provide you with new connections.
Bottom line!
Rather than focusing on short-term goals, it’s important to have a long-term plan and strategy to ensure that your personal development is balanced across a variety of areas. By organizing your personal development portfolio, you can effectively prepare for the uncertainties that lie ahead and create opportunities for growth.
We’re all on our own paths. But along the way, we must always be open to change and challenge, and cultivate our ability to grow. I wish you all the best as you move toward the goals you set for yourself, and create a rich life through balanced personal development in each area.

 

Personal Development Speaker 5 minute speech

Good afternoon, everyone.
I’m here today to share with you an interesting and important topic.
What do you think of when you hear the word “stress”?
Tension, fatigue, anxiety, and endless worry. It’s usually filled with negative connotations.
But today I want to talk to you about the fact that stress and tension aren’t necessarily bad, and that they can do wonders for your life if you use them properly.
First, let me tell you a fun story.
A man was in the business of importing tropical fish.
But there was a problem. On long boat trips, it was not uncommon for half of the tropical fish in the tank to die before they arrived.
After much deliberation, he tried one particular trick: In every tank of tropical fish, he placed a predator fish that would eat them.
The results were stunning. Most of the tropical fish in the tank with the predator arrived alive.
What’s the force that made the difference, you ask? It’s simple: tension.
This story teaches us an important lesson.
We all dream of a stable, worry-free life.
But is this state of calm really only good for us? Or can it sometimes be an obstacle to our growth?
Let me tell you another story.
It is said that Cleopatra, the queen of ancient Egypt, died and went to heaven.
It was the perfect place in her dreams: delicious food, fragrant wine, beautiful clothes and jewelry, everything she could ever want.
But strangely, there was nothing to do there.
There was no effort, no challenge, no need to do anything other than enjoy what she was given.
As time passed, Cleopatra grew increasingly lethargic. Finally, she made a desperate request to an angel.
“Please send me to hell!”
Then the angel said.
“You thought this was heaven, but this is the true hell.”
Friends, what does this story tell us?
That the perfect serenity we dream of may actually be the trap that makes us the most lethargic.
A life without challenge and tension prevents us from feeling truly fulfilled and joyful.
In the end, it leaves us stagnant and drains the life out of us.
So what are we to do?
We need to embrace the right amount of tension, the tension that strings us along like a bow, and use it to fuel our lives.
Don’t be too afraid of stress, anxiety, and failure.
While they can make us struggle, they can also be a source of strength that makes us stronger.
Friends, what awaits us at the end of a life without tension and anxiety?
Perhaps only a lethargic death.
But through daily tension and challenge, we can grow and find meaning in our lives.
My hope for all of you here today is that you will become truly “alive,” endlessly exploring and challenging your lives.
Thank you for listening.

 

Interpersonal Consulting Lecturer 5 minute speech

Hello, everyone.
I’m Mr. ○○○ from Interpersonal Consulting.
We have a myriad of relationships in our lives: with friends, family, coworkers, and even strangers. If asked to name the most important relationship of all, many of us would say our friendships. So, do you have a single friend that you trust, and how far do you think you can trust them?
We all crave true friendship. But friendships aren’t just about laughing and talking together. Without trust, friendships are bound to fall apart at some point. The question “What is a friend?” seems simple, but the answer requires deep thought.
There’s an old saying. “You don’t deal in money, even with brothers.” But is this always true? In fact, many people find themselves in conflict over money transactions with close friends and family. Today, I’ll share an example from a client of mine to illustrate how money transactions can affect relationships. For simplicity, I’ll refer to the client as A, and the friend as B.
A and B used to be best friends. They had a long-standing friendship and were genuinely supportive of each other’s lives. Three years ago, B left a stable job in hopes of a higher salary and struggled with unemployment for about a year. Then, an unexpected expense came up, and B borrowed $2.5 million from his trusted friend A. The problem began.
Here’s where the trouble started. B promised to pay back the money in two years, but that promise was never kept. As time went on, B kept putting off paying back what he owed, and even though he was now quite well off, he had no intention of giving the money back to A. Instead, whenever A brought up the subject of money, he would evade her with various excuses.
What’s A’s situation? She’s a single mom raising a child on her own, and she’s in a financial situation that makes it difficult to pay off her credit card debt. At first, she trusted her friend, but as time went on, A began to doubt the relationship out of disappointment and distrust of B. Eventually, their friendship was irreparably damaged.
This story teaches us something important. It’s not the money transaction itself that’s the problem, it’s the promise and trust. Money can sometimes be a tool that brings out the best in people. One of our most basic natures is to put our own interests first, and money is one of the most powerful triggers of that nature.
Many people will tell you that in the presence of money, they lose their true colors. It’s not uncommon to see people who are normally loyal and kind turn cold when confronted with a conflict involving money. It’s no exaggeration to say that “money makes you blind”.
So, how can you prevent these conflicts and preserve the relationships you value? The answer is simple. It’s simple: the closer you are, the more you should avoid money transactions.
Of course, you might ask. “Since we’re close, shouldn’t I be able to trust you more to borrow or lend money?” But the problem is that when that trust is broken, it leaves irreparable scars. The closer you are, the more likely you are to feel disappointed and betrayed.
This doesn’t mean you should keep your cool – if you really can’t avoid exchanging money, it’s important to have a clear repayment plan, put it in writing, and align your expectations. But even with all of this in mind, the best thing to do is to avoid money transactions in the first place.
We want our friendships to last, and so do you, so don’t put your relationship to the test over money, no matter how ridiculous it may sound at times. Build a relationship where you trust, cheer, and support each other with your hearts, regardless of money – that’s how true friendships last.
I wish you all the best in your friendships and long-lasting relationships. Thank you.

 

Running club presenter 3-minute speech

Good morning, everyone.
What could be more economical than running?
Not only does it cost almost nothing, but it doesn’t take up much of your time, which is a big plus.
For the same amount of time, running is a much better workout than golf or hiking.
In my experience, a 30-minute run gives me a similar effect to a two-hour hike.
I’ve never been the most athletic person, and I’m pretty weak.
Plus, like many of you, finding time to exercise in my busy life was a challenge.
I was working nights and weekends, going to meetings, and never had time to spare.
It wasn’t until I had a major illness that I realized, “I need to start working out, I need to take care of myself.”
I was looking for a way to work out efficiently in a short amount of time, and I chose running.
The truth is, running can be hard on your knees and ankles.
To compensate for this, I would also do exercises to strengthen my knees, ankles, and lower back.
This has made running more than just a cardio workout, it’s a full-body workout.
I don’t weigh a lot, but now I don’t have to worry about my midsection.
I get about six hours of sleep a night now, and I feel like running helps me sleep better.
Most importantly, I’ve noticed a positive change in my mindset.
Running is now a part of my life.
My goal to improve my time little by little is leading me to a healthier lifestyle.
I don’t usually drink alcohol, and when I do, I save it for the next morning’s run.
I hope many of you will experience the revitalizing effect running has on your life.
Thank you for listening.

 

Design classroom instructor 5 minute speech

Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, once said.
“Leave the design to the designers, and let the engineers make the product according to the design.”
Meanwhile, the executives at LaneCom, an Apple competitor, had a different approach.
No matter how many times the head of Raincom’s engineering team asked if they could increase the product size of the MP3 player by just one millimeter, the executives would say.
“Pack it in!” meaning add features to fit into the already finished design.
It’s an idea we take for granted now, but just a few years ago it was hard to even imagine.
Duckjun Yang, president of Raincom, also said.
“Our company’s competitor is not Apple or Sony, but Giorgio Armani.”
McDonald’s is known as a burger chain, but most of its revenue comes from drinks and sides like cola and fries.
For McDonald’s, burgers were a way to sell Coke and fries, just as MP3 players were a way to sell design, style, and trends.
He predicted.
“In the future, the cell phone will evolve into a fashion accessory, like a necklace or ring, that makes you stand out.”
We are in the midst of a design revolution.
Why design?
Companies today are shouting the importance of design like nobody’s business.
Car companies don’t talk about top speed anymore.
They’re not even talking about how accurate their swatch watches are anymore.
Even the days of competing on price are over.
It’s all about design.
The world of the 21st century treats design and style as a “religion”.
In an age where individuality and taste are celebrated, it’s only design that can win people over.
That’s why designers are the saviors of companies in the midst of a bloody price war.
We designers have a right-brain that drives creativity, and that’s what makes us so competitive.
Design, the power to change the world
The pace of consumption has accelerated, and product functionality has been leveled.
What matters now is to appeal to people’s emotions and whims.
Design has become a tool for practicing the principle of the infinite market, and it has begun to unleash its power to change the world.
That power is within you.
I hope you will take pride in design and develop your talent to change the world.
Thank you for listening.

 

Sample 5 minute speech script

Good afternoon, everyone.
I’m sure everyone in this room today has one question in common: “How can I make money?” or “How can I make money with stocks?”
Everyone dreams of winning the jackpot at least once in their life, which is why we buy lottery tickets, right? Even if you don’t play the lottery, it’s true that stories of “someone who got rich from stocks” or “someone who got rich from a fund” make your ears perk up. It’s part of human nature. The desire for a better life, and the desire to make it happen quickly.
But the world of investing is far more complex and profound than we often realize. Just as there is no clear answer to the question, “How do I live well?”, there is no right or wrong answer to investing. Everyone succeeds in different ways, and everyone fails for different reasons.
In the nature of my work, I meet a wide range of people, some of whom are successful in investing in stocks, some of whom are confident in their trades, and there’s something I notice whenever I talk to them. It’s that everyone thinks differently. Some people analyze data thoroughly, others trust their instincts to read the market.
Then, of course, there are those who invest in a specialized way, like the speculative operators. Their strategies are completely different from what the average investor pursues, so it’s important to find your own principles and methods rather than trying to emulate theirs.
So, instead of asking “how to be good at stocks,” isn’t it more useful to ask “how is it good to approach stocks?” Based on my own experience and conversations with others, I’ve put together a list of some common elements, which I’ve adapted from an article I wrote for the open encyclopedia, that might serve as a basic guide for you.
Investing basics, and strategy!
As with any investment, it’s important to remember the basic principle that to win a fight, you need to be knowledgeable and have a strategy. As the Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu once said, “If you know your enemy and know yourself, a hundred fights are not at stake.” The same is true for investing. You need to build a basic understanding of investment products before you can create your own strategy.
So, what knowledge do you need to invest?
1. Understand the market: Understanding the structure of the market, key indicators, and economic variables is essential. This goes beyond just reading the news and includes the ability to analyze information and put your own spin on it.
2. Understand yourself: It’s important to have a clear understanding of your investment personality and goals. Those who are overly greedy need to learn to control their emotions, while those who are overly cautious need to develop the courage to take bold decisions.
3. Continuous learning: Markets are constantly changing. What worked in the past is not guaranteed to work today, so never stop learning and gathering information.
Combine experience and knowledge!
Many people say that “experience is the greatest teacher”. That’s true, but experience without knowledge is just recklessness. It’s like a soldier going into battle without knowing how to properly handle his weapon. The same goes for investing. You can only gain meaningful know-how if you build on your knowledge and gain experience.
The most successful investors I’ve met have a common humble attitude: they’re always willing to learn new things, examine old ways of doing things, and embrace change when necessary. It’s this attitude that ultimately leads to success in the long run.
By sitting in this room right now, you’ve already taken the first step on the road to investing success. The most important thing is to take the time to take it one step at a time. I encourage you to build your own investment philosophy based on what you’ve learned today, and to continue to study and train.
With that, I’d like to conclude my talk by wishing you a successful investment journey, and thank you.

 

Lecturer’s 5-minute speech

Good afternoon, everyone.
Wealth management is not just for corporations, but also for individuals. It’s important to remember that how you manage your wealth can determine the direction of your happiness.
Today, we’re going to take a look at how to manage your personal wealth well and how to effectively grow your wealth through financial planning.
First, get organized.
To be a good money manager, you need to be organized. Don’t just organize your income and expenses on a monthly or yearly basis, but rather on a daily basis, keeping track of your income and expenses. If you find it difficult to manage on a daily basis, plan to take stock of your money flow, even on a weekly basis. This will help you cut out unnecessary spending and give you a clear direction for your finances.
It’s never too late to start keeping a household budget. These days, there are plenty of easy-to-use budgeting applications available for your PC or smartphone, so take advantage of them.
Second, let go of your fear of stocks and funds.
While we often hear stories of success with financial instruments like stocks and funds, many people have experienced failure, often because they got greedy or didn’t do enough research.
These days, however, there are many stable financial instruments that can help you earn a decent return while protecting your principal. Of course, the returns will be lower than with more adventurous investments, but they’re still a great way to grow your wealth, so it’s important to let go of excessive fear and take it one step at a time.
Third, seek professional help.
It’s rare for non-professionals to be successful in personal finance. Managing taxes and understanding financial instruments requires a great deal of knowledge, and it’s not always easy to read the market, especially when it comes to something as volatile as stocks and funds, so it’s wise to seek professional advice early on.
We hope you take the right first steps in managing your personal wealth, and that you’ll be able to build on your own know-how to make it work for you.
Thank you.

 

Speaker 5 minute speech

Good afternoon, everyone.
I’d like to thank all the parents who are here today.
Raising a child can be a joyful and rewarding experience, but it can also be embarrassing and challenging, especially when your child expresses themselves strongly or exhibits unexpected behaviors, and you wonder, “Is this rebellion? Or is it an expression of independence?” Today, we’re going to talk about three typical stages of rebellion in a child’s development, what they mean, and how to handle them.
The first stage of rebellion: When your child starts walking away from your arms
The first milestone of a child walking on their own is an exciting moment for parents. There’s a sense of pride and excitement as they take each step, but there’s also a sense of worry and anxiety as they suddenly outrun you, or fall and hurt themselves.
This is a crucial time when your child is developing their first sense of independence. Instead of trying to keep your child in your arms, it’s important to create an environment that allows them to fall and get back up. For example, when a child is taking their first steps and falls, seeing a parent grab their hand and help them up is more than just supportive. It gives the child the confidence to say, “It’s okay to fall, I can get back up.” At the same time, you should also help them move freely by safely organizing their surroundings. This experience gives them the invaluable gift of not only independence, but also confidence.
The second stage of rebellion: Two-year-olds with “No!” in their mouths
The age of two, when “No!” is on the tip of your tongue, is a challenge for parents. But it’s an important milestone in a child’s development as they learn to express their opinions and become more independent.
One of the most common questions we hear from parents is, “How should I react when this happens?” For example, your child suddenly refuses to eat, or refuses to wash their hands. It’s important to read your child’s mind and respect the situation, rather than ignore them or force them to do something. Try empathizing and talking to them, asking, “I see you don’t want to wash your hands, why is that?” As this communication builds, your child will feel more secure in their relationship with you and less afraid to take on more challenges and exploration.
During this time, it’s also important to encourage activities that your child can do on their own. For example, encourage them to do simple tasks like dressing or feeding themselves. Even if your child fails, you can use this as an opportunity to build independence through positive feedback. These small successes add up to a big confidence boost.
The third rebellious stage: the ugly three-year-old, constant questions, and verbal spats
The third stage of rebellion, the Ugly Three, presents another challenge for parents. At this age, children have an explosion of questions about the world, and they’re constantly talking back and asserting themselves in conversations with their parents.
It’s important not to dismiss a child’s talking back as mere defiance, but to try to understand the curiosity and intent behind it. For example, when a child asks, “Why do we have to do this?” instead of getting annoyed or responding with a blanket “we have to do it,” try asking, “Why did you think that?” This conversation will empower your child to think for themselves and build trust with you.
Understanding and dealing with your child’s rebelliousness isn’t just about taming them, it’s about helping them grow into independent, healthy adults.
Wrapping up
We’ve talked about the three stages of rebellion in a child’s development, and it all starts with loving your child. If you’re a parent in this room, you know this feeling all too well.
Raising a child the right way isn’t just one choice or one method, and I hope what I’ve shared today will help you along the way as you cry and laugh with your child. May your love and wisdom always be with you as you build a brighter, healthier future for our children.
Thank you for listening.

 

Sample 5-minute speech outline

Good afternoon.
Raising a child that won’t hurt you if you put it in your eye is really difficult and worrisome, right?
There are a lot of books out there about parenting, and there are a lot of great lectures. However, it seems that choosing and practicing the right parenting method is still a big problem for parents.
We all have a parental heart and a desire to do a good job of educating our children, but that’s not enough. In order to truly raise our children right, we must first learn and master the right way to educate them.
I want to ask you, “Are we really prepared enough to raise our children?”
In fact, there are many parents out there who overlook this important fact, believing that it’s best to praise their children unconditionally and tell them they’re doing a good job. Of course, praise and encouragement are essential for a child’s growth, but sometimes they need to be combined with strictness and proper guidance.
The role of parents in this regard is crucial, and today I’d like to talk about it through the topic “The Hawk of Love”.
We’ve all heard about the recent ban on corporal punishment by teachers in schools, which has caused a lot of controversy in society, but how do you feel about it as a parent?
I personally feel very sad about it, and the consequences of the disappearance of corporal punishment are not just the weakening of teaching power, but more importantly, the fading of the meaning of true education.
Of course, I’m not saying that I’m in favor of corporal punishment unconditionally, but I do believe that there are moments in a child’s education when a certain amount of corporal punishment is necessary if it’s based on love.
This is because it’s not just a punishment, it’s a way of guiding your child to the right path.
With the current legal ban on teachers using corporal punishment, the role of parents is more important than ever. If a child’s education is not properly guided by their parents from an early age, the effects can be felt throughout their growth and future.
There are moments in life when we are torn between subjective and objective judgment. When your child does something wrong, is it in their best interest to ignore it and cover it up? Or is it true love to point out the wrongdoing and guide them in the right direction?
Education is not just about academic performance; it’s about preparing a child to live with others and fulfill his or her role in society.
The right guidance from parents empowers children to make their own decisions as adults. The attitude of “it’s okay because he’s my child” can have devastating consequences for a child.
A loving spanking is not just a punishment; it’s a way to show your child that you care about them and help them move in the right direction. It’s a way for them to feel loved by you, and it’s a way for them to grow into a respectable adult in society.
Don’t raise your child to be self-centered and inconsiderate of others – that’s not the right way to raise a child. Children need to learn the right values and learn to live with others through their parents’ education.
The consistent attention and love of a parent is an important foundation for a child to build a healthy self and grow into an adult who is a positive influence on others.
I hope you’ll take some time today to reflect on what I’ve shared with you.
We look forward to your active role in helping our children grow up to be more loved, brighter, and healthier.
Thank you.
