每日口說挑戰蜜雪兒歐巴馬動人畢典演說：富裕生活，由你定義 (中英字幕) (Michelle Obama Oregon State Commencement Address)

請大家糾正我的發音（語調也行） > <
We realized that being successful isn’t about being impressive… it’s about being inspired. (And…and…and…and) that’s what it means to be your true self. It means looking inside yourself and being honest about what you truly enjoy doing. Because graduates, I can promise you that you will never be happy plodding through someone else’s idea of success. Success is only meaningful, and enjoyable, if it feels like your own.

今日挑戰性最高：「And…and…and…and」XDD

一整個晚上都在細細品嚐 Michelle 的演說（Sorry, Samuel~ I just spent 14 minutes on your recording. XD），她和 Obama 真的是演說家夫妻檔啊！好多句子都好棒哦！只恨手邊沒有電腦可以好好筆記嗚嗚嗚…

這是今日太陽初出至完整出現的時間。僅僅花了三分鐘！如果剛好在這時間跑去上廁所就瞬間錯過了！＝0＝

Every day I overslept, so I never seen sunrise until I stay up all night these days. XD But, whether you can see the sunrise or not also depends on the weather.
這說明了：努力也要天助，天助也要努力。

我要去努力吃飽、努力洗澡、努力睡覺了。請老天爺讓我順利睡到下午吧！哈哈哈 :)

☺We realized that being successful isn’t about being impressive. It’s about being inspired. That’s what it means to be your true self. It means looking inside yourself and being honest about what you truly enjoy doing.
我們體悟到，成功並不是指受到他人欽佩，而是要有被鼓舞的感覺。那才是"做你自己"的真正意涵。那意味著正視你的內心，坦白承認你所真正喜愛做的事情是什麼。

Hello everyone today is Wednesday July 19th. My name is Sam and welcome to today’s pronunciation challenge. So, the sentences we have taken for today’s challenge comes to the video, Michelle Obama Oregon State Commencement Address and Michelle Obama of course, the former first lady when President Barrack Obama was in office. It’s a very inspiring individual I think and a very good speaker and I think she gave a great speech here. I would love if she gave. A commitment speech admired university unfortunately I don’t have anyone called it inspirational or famous as Michelle Obama. But anyway, let’s go on to today’s sentences.

We realized that being successful isn’t about being impressive, it’s about being inspired and that’s what it means to be your true self. It means looking inside yourself and being honest about what you truly enjoy doing.

And I think this is absolutely true. We should also think about the contact which Michelle Obama was giving in speech this was acted the commitment address at Oregon state which is the ceremony that the essential welcome over the new students, so she is trying to be inspiring and you know give them some advice that maybe the students would keep them back in their mind as they pursue their studies and maybe that would give them some motivation join their long lives as essay writing, studying for exams or not.

--發現有些人都會挑戰念兩次句子. 所以今天學習念兩次～一次慢一次快 ;)
--最近姊姊在找工作,討論到底應該去哪間上班~ 我的想法是:如果一個工作不是自己有興趣或是喜歡的,但是薪水高個幾千塊 跟另一個自己很有興趣的工作相對薪水低一點點. 我會選擇自己有興趣也喜歡的工作,雖然說一年換算起來會差個幾萬, 不過其實多工作一個多月就好了,而且相對來說那個工作能做更久～
--能做自己喜歡,享受的事情很好~ 希望大家都能找到自己truly enjoy doing 的事情 :目
大家晚安~ 今天話有點多> <
