每日口說挑戰你曾被看不起嗎？你該謝謝那個曾看不起你的人！(Thank you for not believing in me)

I had my little conference badge around my neck, I had my big conference binder under my arm, everything was going good.

想分享一下我自己的故事（有點長但絕無虛構）



聽說在我出生前（不知道幾年），爸媽是作東南亞國際貿易的，那時候家裡經濟算還不錯。
不過我出生後（大概五六歲吧，也不太確定了），就搬回到雲林，聽說是做生意失敗賠了錢。
後來還有做一些投資也都失敗，從這些之後我爸就開始瘋狂酗酒，直到現在我都認為已經是酒精中毒的程度了。

我想說的是，其實從小到大身邊所有的人都看不起我們家，我兩個姊姊、還有我。我想，前後態度差異最大的就是我爸那邊的親戚（這也是為什麼我極度討厭他們，但我同時也謝謝他們），從對我們家很熱情的態度，做生意失敗之後變成看不起我們家，甚至還用對長輩負債這點勒索我爸要顧我阿公阿嬤，但他們對於長輩卻是幾乎不插手。

扯遠了，我到現在仍不認為一定誰對誰錯，我只能說，結果是由多個要素所組成的。
我雖然還是沒辦法喜歡這些看不起我的人，但我也感謝他們給我不能太過安逸的理由，還有點完美主義（最近因為這個焦慮感太重已經有去掛號了）。

要分享這些其實我也很猶豫，但我想告訴大家，不管身旁的環境再怎麼惡劣，都要相信你自己有扭轉現狀的能力，我們不能選擇自己出身的環境，但我們可以給自己更好的環境。

Why don't you just give it a try? You have nothing to lose, anyway.

☺I had my little conference badge around my neck, I had my big conference binder under my arm, everything was going good.
我在脖子上掛上了我的會議名牌、把我那本大大的會議資料夾夾在我的手臂下，一切都很順利。
【心得】小時候最會銼我銳氣的其實是我的老爸老媽(他們的初衷是想要"激勵"我)，感覺不管再怎麼做，他們總覺得別人的孩子比較優秀。長大後經歷了一些事情才修復了親子關係，但可能也因此讓自己養成了很愛挑自己毛病，找自己麻煩的壞習慣(不過我想在華人社會可能不少人的爸媽也或多或少都會這樣吧?!)。
【Fun Song一下】Happy Birthday Winnie!

世界上最棒的主管、同事、好友

祝你在加拿大有個愉快的生日～～～ Have fun!

Winnie的生日感言 觸動我回顧起自己的際遇~七歲時我因父母經商失敗跑路 而開始寄人籬下的生活!第一天起 我就很明白自己的處境 馬上自動成為勤快 安靜的孩子!

即使已經是60年前的事情 有些被bully的事 我還是歷歷在目 耿耿於懷
我曾被大人無故甩了七八個重重巴掌 回想起來 仍然很委屈 但我慶幸自己沒有被打聾(雖然最近幾晚都因耳鳴如鞭炮聲驚醒 不會60年後才發作吧?)
那家裡有讀中學的孩子 一直捉弄我 當時我無奈且無助 但是經過歲月的洗鍊 我感恩他沒有性侵我!
如今 我還可以到醫院看他 為他唱詩

所有曾經經歷的事 我都想讓它成為生命的養分 不過 轉化的時間好漫長喔
Dear Winnie那麼盡責有活力 果然來自不凡~妳擁有我們所有人的祝福 不只在今天!!!

辛苦Winnie了!!!

有很多時候，身邊的人反而最容易傷害自己

Happy birthday to Super Star Winnie!!

以下筆記是我綜合了中文版與英文版的內容，有星號*的單字是我不確定的或是聽不清楚的，請Winnie或是各位前輩們指教！

⋯ Finally it’s my birthday, yes, on this very day, September the first. I’ve always loved my birthday ‘cause it’s the very first day in September number one. But then l also kinda hate it because it’s in the summer time, nobody rememberes. And when the school starts, everyone is usually sad about summer ended. And sometimes you got a new bunch of classmates, no one really knows who you are and nobody even cares. But it’s okay, I just get people to celebrate *for me, like I call them up and I just ask them to go Karaoke and dinner. That way I can make sure I won’t be lonely on my birthday. And another very annoying thing about me is that I guess what people are thinking too early. Every time when someone tries to surprise me, it doesn’t work ‘cause most of the time I know what people are up to and even if they pull it off. I have high standards. I appreciate their efforts, but again, it’s not giving me that “WOW ~”. Yap, it’s me, super annoying Winnie. So I don’t blame people for not wanting to throw me a party or something or give me cards or whatever. And I have a fragile heart, I don’t want to feel disappointed, so I never expect anything and I just celebrate my birthday myself.

What do we have here today? The video that we will watch today has nothing to do with my birthday. It’s called “ Thank you for not believing in me”. I want to use this video to encourage all of you to be strong and fight for yourself, believe in yourself, even one others don’t. And the end of the show, I’ll tell you a little bit about myself, you’ll know my story. And I hope I can inspire you to do what you love and eventually become the person you want to be. Why don’t we go through our sentence of the day? Here it goes.

I had my little conference badge around my neck, I had my big conference binder under my arm, everything was going good.

Now we’re done with our sentence today. It’s time to move on to the vocabulary.

Conference is a noun. Conference is an event, sometimes lasting a few days, at which there is a group of talks on a particular subject, or a meeting in which especially business matters are discussed formally.

Have you booked the conference room for tomorrow’s meeting?

Badge is a noun. Badge is a small piece of metal, plastic, cloth, etc., with words or pictures on it, that you can carry with you or that is fastened or sewn to your clothing, often to show your support for a political organization or belief, or to show who you are, your rank, or that you are a member of a group, etc. So the word badge is actually used *at two ways. So the first way is, for example, a piece of metal, plastic *_ that’s sewn to your clothing. Let’s say for police badge. So when the police comes to you, when a police approaches to you, you would say “Can you show me your police badge?” Or the other kind of badge is that more like a name tag or a piece of paper, plastic *_ when you wear around your neck, it can show to the security that you belong in a conference room or this party or something.

Everyone needs a badge with their name on to enter the conference room.

Binder is a noun, which is a hard cover in which paper documents or magazines are stored. Or not just paper documents or magazines, sometimes you can put in maybe your pen, ruler, eraser. You can put in things like that.

Mom, the teacher asked us to bring a binder to school tomorrow. Can you take me to Staples to get one?

*In the growing up, my dad, my relatives, they’ve never been nice to me. By that I mean, they’ve never said any positive to me. They’ve never believed in me. They’re always doubting me. I’m just gonna be honest with you, they said a lot of hurtful things, it’s like you want me to fail, it hurts a lot, it’s very sad. I always try very hard to prove myself. But no matter what I do, I’m never good enough. I didn’t give up. To me, if I continue to work hard, if I just continue to move forward, I’m gonna get *close(closed?) to my dream, and one day I’m gonna prove they’re wrong. So people, don’t get discouraged, never give up, just keep doing you, keep doing what you like. And one day, you’re gonna succeed.
That’s all for today’s pronunciation challenge. Thank you for listening. Thank you for tuning in.

Happy Birthday to our favorite host, Winnie. 妳真的很棒，超喜歡妳的~

酸言酸語難消化，什麼正面態度面對的其實都要時間去化解，可能需要好幾年，但有天發現自己過了這個檻後，就真的能一笑置之了。
