1948年,牛津大学举办了一场题为“成功秘诀”的讲座,邀请丘吉尔前来演讲。 演讲那天,会场上人山人海,全世界各大新闻媒体都到齐了。 丘吉尔用手势止住大家雷鸣般的掌声,说:“我的成功秘诀有三个:第一,绝不放弃;第二,绝不、绝不放弃;第三,绝不、绝不、绝不放弃!我的演讲结束了。” 说完,他就走下了讲台。 会场上沉寂了一分钟后,突然爆发出热烈的掌声,那掌声经久不息。 Churchill’s Lecture In 1948, Oxford University organized a lecture called “The Secret of Success” and invited Winston Churchill to come to lecture. On that occasion of his speech, the meeting place was crowded with a sea of people, with the world’s major news media swarming there. Churchill stopped the thunderous applause with a gesture and said, “My recipe for success has three points: the first point is never give up; the second one is never, never give up; and the third is never, never, never give up! That’s all my speech.” Then he went down from the platform. There was silence for one minute and then a sudden burst of applause, which kept lasting. |
