  傑出會員回顧 - 張可芸  
 

不放手 直到夢想到手
Do not let go until the dream is realized.

第四個 DTM 回顧 By: Caroline Kiang 張可芸
Looking Back at The fourth DTM

不放手 直到夢想到手
Do not let go until the dream is realized.

國際演講會平均是7-8 年拿到一個 DTM, 我卻在八年四個月,拿到四個 DTM,
也許很多會員會想知道是怎麼辦到的?就是努力,努力再努力,不放手,直到夢想到手。
Within Toastmaster International, the average time required to advance from a new member to the ultimate award “Distinguished Toastmaster” normally takes seven to eight years.

I was able to receive four “Distinguished Toastmaster” awards within eight years and four months. “How did you achieve this marvelous achievement?” many members asked. I replied: “ It is to work hard, then to work harder, never give up, until finally your dream is realized”

我曾經為了D67全區的名譽在一個月內講完十講,幫當年 D67 拿到唯一的總會長傑出分區獎 --雖然我人已經出國,為了總會的榮譽,帶著打球受傷的腳裸,持著拐杖,看著汽車上的 GPS, 在美國各地去找沒看過的四個分會,在這四個分會演講中,我拿到三個最佳演說員獎章,(有一個分會沒有投票)。
Three stories:
1. Complete 4 speeches within 10 days in a foreign country while on a trip.
District 67 received the only one “The President Distinguished Area Award” that year ______. Do you want to find out how did I get it? I calculated that we just missing one DCP point with less than 30 days before the year ended. I decided to do another 10 speeches to earn one more point on “Competent Communication manual”. I completed six speeches in Taiwan when I only had 10 days before the year ends in June 30th. But, I had to go to USA for a business trip. I decided to schedule the last four speeches while I am in USA. So I called and booked four talks in four USA TM clubs. Then I drove a rental car, employ a GPS in the car to guide me to those four TMC clubs which I had never visited before. What happens for those four speeches, I won three best speaker awards. ( The fourth club did not vote in their meeting.)

我也是為了D67 的成績,在2016 的圓山飯店春季大會中,別人都入夢鄉,早上五點我還沒上床,在跟海外要來參加的貴賓們,商量更好的接待方法。
雖然辛苦,可是苦得有價值,不但在台灣,也在亞洲各地交到了一堆熱血,熱誠,熱情的好朋友。
2. The 2nd story: When I was inviting 200 Asian guest to come to Taiwan to join our Spring Conference at Grand Hotel I Taipei. I had to work on the logistics at 5 am in the morning. These efforts are worthwhile, because I met a group of dynamic, enthusiastic and passionate people, later all of them become my good friends

世界演講會中唯一製作的快閃是在台灣(台北火車站),有150,000 人看過,這應該是全 D67 的驕傲。https://youtu.be/YiV4HItR1eM
如果尚未看過的歡迎觀賞。
3. The third story was that we conducted the first “Flash Mob” get together in District 67 at Taipei Train Station” with 100 toastmaster’s member coming from north, central and south Taiwan to participate. The click rate had reached 150,000 on YouTube (https://youtu.be/YiV4HItR1eM) .

回到初衷,要感謝最初介紹我進入演講會的外子,他給我半退休的生活開啟了一片天,(也許是要補償我這麼多年來,他在台灣上班,而我在美國不但要上班,還要照顧三個小孩)讓我終於可以實現我一些年輕時的夢想,譬如演講,譬如畫畫,譬如寫作,對我而言,以前都是遙不可及的夢想,而如今我一一實現了。
When I was in US, I had to work and raise three children. After coming back to Taiwan, I am semi-retired. I am able to realize all those seems unreachable dreams when I was young - like deliver speeches, painting, or writing.

選演講題目是很多演講者頭痛的是,我的建議是多用你的智慧型手機。我是一個隨時隨地都可以有靈感,什麼題目都值得講的人,想到什麼,馬上寫下來,以免忘記。我雖然講過200篇演說,但是每次的題目都可以不一樣。譬如說,目前我已經完成八次 CC, 及 CL. 這八次的初試啼聲,我都以不同方式來介紹我,第一次我記得我在喜洋洋介紹我,我是一種用時間排序的方法,小學,中學,大學,留學等等,第二次我是用數字來表示不同時代的我,(25,40, 55)不同年紀的體驗,第三次我的題目是畫家及作家,來描述我興趣所在,第四次我的題目是:橫看成嶺側成峰,來描述人生每個經歷及看法,當然最特別的一次是我在青企台語會試著用台語講初試啼聲,題目是家後,但是我的台語實在是不夠格,常常冒出英文,惹的哄堂大笑,幾乎可以拿幽默冠軍。
To come up with a “speech title” seems very difficult for many members, I can pick it up just by counting my fingers. I have done my ten CC speeches eight times now. Each time When I do my ” Ice Breaker”, I use different logic sequences: The first time I used chronological orders; like grade school, middle school and high school, etc.; The 2nd time I used my experiences at different ages like 25, 40, 55 years old; The 3rd time I used Painter versus Writer to express my different hobbies; The 4th time I used Mountain or peak to describe my viewpoints; the most challenge time was that I used Taiwanese dialog to give my Ice Breaker ”the家後”. Most of you know that I am not fluent in Taiwanese. When uttered an abnormal pronunciation, the entire room of people laughed at me. The laughers were so load that I could almost use that to win a humorous speech contest.

另一項我很驕傲的是我帶領過五次高效能領導班(HPL projects) 我盡力幫忙每一位會員體驗他的 Toastmasters 旅程,需要幫忙時,我也從不吝嗇。下個星期剛好有一批會員希望在新的教育計畫開始之前,完成他們的傑出會員 (DTM)頭銜,所以我特別為這十位會員,開始新的 HPL 課程.
Another thing that I am proud with is that I had led five times the “HPL Programs”. I am willing to offer my expertise and my time to enable the toastmaster leaders to complete the DTM requirement – the HPL program.
For example, starting next week, I shall start a new round of a 6-month HPL Program to assist 10 senior toastmasters to advance into their next endeavor.
This will be their final time to complete HPL before the New Pathway Program becoming effective in District 67.

我的人生永遠充滿了驚奇與快樂,演講會的宗旨,(在支持及肯定的環境裡提供會有溝通與領導的技巧),與我的哲學不謀而合,自己定下目標,只要盡了力,結果我並不在乎。但是:花若盛開,蝴蝶自來。人若精彩,天自安排。我堅信只要你夠努力,老天一定會給你一個驚喜。讓我們大家都有一個精彩的人生。
My life always filled with surprises and happiness. The mission of Toastmasters International ‘s is developing members’ Leadership and communication skills in a positive and supportive learning environment. I have the same philosophy – I set up my own goals, then I strive for it. As long as I did my best, I don’t care whether my goal is reached or not. Probe says: “when the flowers are fully blossom, Butterflies will automatically come; One tries one’s best; the God will send prizes to him/her.” It is my believe, as long as you try hard enough, the God will give you a surprise! I bless! Everyone shall have a glorious life
