[FJU] energetic Janet in contest season

FJU TMC Janet really wants it: she wants to win in FJU TMC in-house humorous speech "very much."

As far as I know, she visited lots of TMCs in Taipei in summer vacation.

YWCA, IMA, MOFA, Legacy, and etc...

Not only visited them, she gave speeches there, including being the target speaker for some clubs' in-house evaluation contest.

She received lots of feedback from the evaluators and judges.

Within a limited of time, she has learned a lot, and improved “A LOT.”

The way she "improves" surprises me.

I can feel "Janet really wants to win."

I can see from her eyes, full of passion and desire.

I .............respect her.

As a senior TM, I lose my "heart" for speech for a period of time.

She makes me to witness the essence of TM.

Janet is awesome.

Also, thanks all the members who have helped Janet on the way to the in-house contest.

THANKS!

Listening

I realized that I might not be good at listening.

I realized that my friends might not be good listening.

I realized that listening itself is truly "silent but attractive," and itself is a good deed.

I find I tend to talk to people what to do.

I find people tend to tell me what to do.

Not listening.

I find that miscommunication itself comes from "people talk too much, instead of listening to each other."

None want to be back off.

None.

True essence of listening would build the trust among people, thus, they would trust each other. 

It gives power to both parts: listeners and speakers.

Listeners absorb (the sorrow), and speakers get heal.

In the past, I didn't listen to my friends, parents, and bosses.

My friends, parents, and bosses didn't listen to me, either.

Then, the conflicts came.

I used to become "blind" to the conflicts, yet, after Toastmasters training (and age), I know I have to solve the problems.

Listen.

Listen to people.

Listen to my heart.

Talk.

Talk to people.

Speak my minds.

 Among all, of course, still need to be careful, otherwise, there is rumor going on.

 Listening is powerful.
