A 3-minute speech should convey the key points in a powerful way. A clear message, a strong introduction, and concise content are the key. Let’s take a look at an effective way to organize!

 

Topic – Compile a list of things you are committed to in life

Hello.
I’m ○○○, a lecturer at a self-development lecture.
Why did you come here? What do you expect to get out of this?
Surely, you have come to listen to your own voice for this one hour.
For this one hour, you have come to think about yourself, not about what others expect of you.
How much have you invested in yourself?
How much time have you spent on what you want and enjoy?
Of course, people live in groups. That is why it would not be right to sacrifice others to focus only on oneself. People would gradually turn away from you, pointing fingers at you as an egoist.
However, it is also not right to live to satisfy the needs of others. Humans live to be happy. In a way, helping others is ultimately helping yourself to be happy. It is often for the satisfaction of helping others and for smooth communication and friendship among members.
I dare to suggest this to you.
Let go of the burden on your shoulders that you are forced to carry.
First, make a list of the things in your life that you are truly immersed in.
Try eliminating just one thing from your list of values and priorities in life. One trivial thing among the things that you are immersed in. Will life seriously fall into the abyss?
Again. Let’s get rid of the next trivial thing. Are you hesitating?
No, you are people who have already experienced throwing away something insignificant. Let’s get rid of just one more thing.
What am I hoping for from you now?
Each time you eliminate something you are committed to, it may give you a sense of guilt because other people want you to keep the things you are committed to with a sense of responsibility. However, this act of eliminating can free up a lot of time for you. Others may be disappointed, but you should think about what is important to you.
If we always focus on what everyone wants, except for ourselves, we will never have time for ourselves.
The world will not turn upside down if you take a little responsibility and burden off your shoulders. The sky will not fall apart or Mount Halla suddenly explode.
Relieve the burden on your shoulders and let it go one by one.
You will be able to live your life with a lighter heart, full of energy and joy.
I sincerely hope that you will become a lighter person.
Thank you.

 

 

Topic – Our world that even the second-place player remembers

I may not know StarCraft, but I do know Hong Jin-ho, the professional gamer from Korea.
I don’t know much about him, but I do know that he was a runner-up for many years and that he is a Zerg player.
Even if you are a woman who has cried over her boyfriend and only taken the mineral supplements he gave her, or a woman who hates the live broadcast of the StarCraft game that her brother plays, you must have heard of Hong Jin-ho.
In the world of e-sports, where new stars appear and paradigm shifts occur several times faster than in general professional sports, Hong Jin-ho has certainly made a name for himself even among people who have never heard of the number one player.
The perennial runner-up has retired.
It was not a spectacular or shocking end, but a warm retirement that showed the affection of the fans.
In the movie Shadow Murder, which is set in the Gyeongseong era, the main character played by Hwang Jung-min was named Hong Jin-ho.
There is an anecdote that StarCraft fans maliciously flocked to give Shadow Murder a rating of 2.0 on Naver before it was even released.
It is not that they are mocking him for being second best for all time.
It is perhaps the fans’ consideration to remember him as second best.
It is perhaps a consolation that it is okay to be second best.
Hong Jin-ho attracted fans by forming a competitive relationship with Lim Yo-hwan to the extent that he earned the nickname “Lim Jin-rok” for ten years, and he established his own world with his aggressive playing style, which earned him the nickname “Storm Zerg.”
Park Sung-kwang says on ‘Gag Concert’.
“A dirty world that only remembers the first place.”
The women’s handball national team’s match in the 2004 Athens Olympics, in which they lost the final, is also worthy of being remembered as the “legend of second place.”
The tears that come after losing a 80-minute battle are not just tears.
It must have been a complex and subtle emotion that comes from all the effort and everything that has been poured into it.
Anyone who has tried to win a competition or pass through a narrow door will know.
No matter how hard I try, if someone with greater talent than me tries, how can I possibly beat him? This is the despair.
We can encourage them because we know the heart that is gained from many failures.
The first place will change every time, and people will focus on the current first place, but the meaning of the numbers is too limited to rank our efforts.

 

 

Theme – Individuality

Think of a boxer standing on a solitary ring.
This player’s most confident specialty is throwing jabs.
The coach says.
He tells them to hit an uppercut, to swing.
The coach demands.
I secretly promised myself that I would train him to hone his hook.
What will be the future of this player who has only been trained to use the skills that the coach and the manager want while suppressing his strengths?
He will become a standard player who can use all the skills evenly.
However, he will become an ordinary player with no unique characteristics.
I hope that he will discover what only he can do rather than following what everyone else can do.
Creating something that only I can do.
We will feel a little less lonely not only as boxers on the ring but also on the wide stage of life.
If you have something of your own.
It is also important to move towards what others recognize.
I can’t help but be concerned about what seems like a foolish human being.
Still, I hope that I have a competitive edge that no one else can match, rather than living as an average person like everyone else.
What is my individuality in our era and our world, which is full of individuality?
It is a meaningless world where it is unclear what is a flaw and what is a complex.
The criteria for determining that have become ambiguous today.
We can turn things around.
It’s just a matter of overcoming one’s limitations and sublimating one’s complexes into strengths.
A wide and vast world. Am I just a tiny little ant?
In fact, if you look a little closer, you’ll see that this world is so trivial.
It’s good to be bold.
It’s good to be a special me.
How about becoming a confident me?

 

 

Topic – Only emotional people have the power to think about things

Hello, everyone.
These days, the biggest desire shared by people in their 20s seems to be to have good sensibility, regardless of employment or qualifications.
The military regime ended and the Internet has now become commonplace.
Meanwhile, Seo Taiji has evolved into Girls’ Generation, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) crisis has led to financial capitalism.
For example, if in the 1980s, college students hoped to become intellectuals with comprehensive intellect, in the 2000s, they dreamt of becoming enthusiasts or experts with delicate sensibilities.
So the website Cyworld boomed, and the word “bluff” came up in many people’s mouths as they read the posts on the bulletin board or in the diary.
The problem is that we have an almost blind craving for emotion, but we have not had the opportunity to be educated and trained in good emotion.
The industrialization generation equated sensibility with luxury because they were too busy making a living, and the democratization generation equated sensibility with error in a situation where they had to make rational judgments and discern information.
The sensibility that was released without content was occupied by dramas and entertainment agencies.
As a result, people in their 20s now compete to capture insignificant impressions on camera and put them in photo albums to prove their taste.
There are all kinds of posts about cafe tours, restaurant reviews, boring travel photos, shopping sprees, and unboxing.
In fact, what we are interested in is not visiting places or buying products, but the changes in our lives and thinking that they cause.
There is no reasoning or reflection anywhere, but when I read the words you have written, I feel that you are desperately craving emotion.
Although they are inexperienced, they show sincerity in trying to express their emotions.
I think that for many people in their 20s, expressing emotions is equated with momentary consumption.
I found it pretty when I went there, and it was delicious when I ate it. It is very embarrassing to see such one-dimensional comments outside of elementary school picture diaries.
If the older generation had a clear sense of purpose, we are living in a time without desperation and anger, heading towards democracy after experiencing turbulent struggles.
We also struggle with information, but we are somewhat indifferent to invisible information, and desperation can only be found in TOEIC scores.
Times change and young people may change their disposition, but I hope they will cultivate their emotions.
Only an emotional person has the power to worry and think.
Thank you for listening.

 

 

Topic – You can become the best expert in your field by reading 500 books

Hello.
Those of you who have come to this place to develop yourselves are already progressive people. Today, I would like to share some thoughts on self-development with you.
First, you should invest in the essential values of life, that is, your knowledge and experience, which are your fundamental assets.
Rather than chasing the pleasure of wearing expensive clothes or eating delicious food, you should try to build up your knowledge and experience by buying books and interacting with great seniors and juniors.
In an era of lifelong careers rather than lifelong jobs, only true experts are treated well. In particular, no one can steal or imitate your deep knowledge and experience. Most office workers stop studying when they graduate from school, which is a problem. The work they do in their office life seems great, but it is useless once they leave the organization.
Confucius said, “One must read five books,” which means that one must read five books. It is difficult to say to what extent this is true by modern standards, but it means that you need to read a lot of books.
It is said that “if you read 500 books in your field, you will become the best expert, if you read 1,000 books in various fields, you will have no trouble talking to anyone about anything, and if you read 2,000 books, you will understand the principles of all things in the world and the world will not leave you alone.”
The number of 2,000 books is an enormous amount that I would have to work hard at for at least 40 years without being lazy, even if I read one book a week. You can firmly believe that if you work hard from today and read 2,000 books, the world will recognize you and give you the opportunity to do great things for your country.
Second, you need to invest in yourself. Even after middle age, you should not neglect to accumulate new knowledge. If I do well, my family will do well, and my children will do well.
You should think that your third life is longer than you think. Most experts and intellectuals say, “Art is long, life is short.” This is a saying that applies to a few famous artists and has nothing to do with most ordinary people.
They say that life is good when it ends well. Even if you are young, live a life of luxury, become famous, and gain power, it is difficult to keep it and even harder to maintain it until death. The wealth, honor, and power that I have earned through my hard work can be kept until death.
Planning and practicing a life for yourself with a mind that always loves yourself is the beginning of self-development.
Thank you.

 

 

Theme – Despair cannot defeat hope

Hello.
I’m a lecturer at the self-development lecture.
Are you living your life in a positive way, or in a negative way?
We cannot always live a smooth life.
But if you are living a rough moment, you will lose to yourself if you sit back and do nothing. What should you do then?
I would like to tell you a story about a man.
A boy was born to a couple who were always happy. However, the boy lost his eyesight when he was four years old after being stabbed in the eye by a ride at an amusement park.
His parents took him to a school for the blind.
The school had special books with words written on the top for the blind. The boy read all the books in the school library and looked for new ones, but there were no more books he could read. The boy decides to create a simple system with dots. At the age of fifteen, he completes his system, but no one is interested. At the age of seventeen, he graduates from school and becomes a teacher at the school.
The boy, who had become an adult, was very ill. He was physically ill, and it was also mentally difficult for him. However, he did not despair and continued to create books in Braille for people in the same situation as him, even while he was ill.
The Braille system for the visually impaired today is an adaptation of the Braille system created by the boy in the story. The Braille system has made it easier for many visually impaired people to read. And it has given them hope.
As I said earlier, no one lives a life that is only smooth. No one lives a life that is only pleasant. The boy in the story may have lived his whole life in despair. But the boy made an unwavering effort to overcome his disability and even helped others.
The boy must have realized that despair is the background that maximizes the joy of finding hope.
Are you just bowing your head in despair?
Raise your head proudly and find hope that grows even bigger in despair.
You can be happy.
Thank you.

 

 

Topic – Set your goal as what you truly want to achieve

Hello.
I am ○○○, the lecturer for the self-development lecture.
We sincerely welcome you for coming all the way here.
Self-development. When you hear that word, you may not be able to shake the feeling that it is vague.
This is because there are many different directions in development.
What I want to tell you today is not about the specific direction of development, but about the most fundamental aspects of development and the mindset you should have before you have specific plans for development.
What is self-development?
As the name suggests, it is about developing your own abilities and reaching your goals.
Developing and reaching your goals. If so, there must be a standard to meet that. Where and from what does that standard come from?
Do you know the movie “Baton Rouge”?
It is a work by the Coen brothers, also famous for “No Country for Old Men.”
The movie The Baton Pink is about the story of an artist named Baton Pink. Pink is a new artist whose abilities are just beginning to be recognized. Pink wrote the play she wanted to write, and when she was recognized and her name began to appear in newspapers, she received calls from various production companies. Eventually, she joined a famous Hollywood film production company. The film company asks Pink to make a wrestling movie with popular codes. However, the conflict with herself intensifies as she writes a wrestling scenario that she has no interest in and does not know much about.
The conflict that tormented her is finally resolved by writing what Pink herself wants. The wrestling movie was written as a story of a person fighting with himself, not a story of real wrestlers. The producer, who was waiting for a hand-to-hand battle between hulking wrestlers, was not satisfied with the scenario, which was full of profound philosophical human conflicts, and in the end, Pink was kicked out of the Hollywood film production company. Pink’s expression as she is driven out is a lighthearted one, incomparable to the expression of struggle and conflict she had been suffering from. She leaves the company with a lighthearted expression.
What do you feel when you watch the movie “Baton Pink”?
I would like to ask you a question.
What criteria should we use when setting goals for self-development?
Through the autobiography of a celebrity? Through the advice of a wise person?
Of course, it can be helpful.
But the place you should listen to most before you start self-development is your own heart.
What kind of person do you want to be? What do you want?
That is the primary process.
Without that, you will not be able to start development that is truly satisfying.
What do you really want?
What are your desires?
This is the primary starting point for self-development.
Listen to yourself.
Thank you.

 

 

Topic – How about playing alone?

Hello, everyone.
This is Instructor ○○○.
Doing it alone. Playing alone.
What do you think?
Do you already feel a sense of rejection and are you afraid that people will look at you as a bully?
How well have you adapted to playing alone?
Today, I will talk about the challenge of the horde culture.
It is a rebellion against collectivism.
The fear of doing something alone is probably because of the feeling that you have been pushed out of society.
We are Koreans who are used to doing everything together, not alone.
Since we always do things in groups, our ability to do things alone is degenerating.
Some people, depending on the situation, need training to do things alone.
Have we ever looked at someone who came to the movie theater alone, ate alone at a restaurant, went hiking alone, shopped alone, grilled pork belly alone, and thought they were strange?
They would not have given it a second thought.
We must stop living with the eyes of others in mind.
We must stop living with the support of others in mind.
If we continue to live like this, we will not be able to become a fully independent person even when we are 30 or 40 years old.
Being alone is not the same as selfishness or self-centeredness.
Some people think that forming relationships is a healthy part of their ability.
I refute this.
I think that in life, there is an impulse to form close relationships and an impulse to go within through solitude.
I will not insist that you should develop the ability to be alone.
It is about becoming independent, not dependent or leaning on others.
Try to get out of the group and do something on your own.
I hope you will also feel the anxiety of separating from the group and reflect on how dependent you have been.
Thank you for listening.
Playing happily alone is only possible in society.
I hope you can enjoy yourself with peace of mind, knowing that I am in society.
Thank you.

 

 

Theme – We should live in gratitude for what we have

There was a stonemason.
He wanted to be stronger than he was now.
He became a merchant and accumulated wealth, but he was never satisfied. He became a high-ranking official and gained power, but he grew weak and tired from the scorching sun and became the sun.
But even the sun was helpless in the face of dark clouds.
So he turned into a cloud and rained down rain, and as the rock stood still in the rain, he turned into a rock to become stronger.
The moment I felt the satisfaction of finally becoming the strongest in the world, I saw a stonemason hammering a gong into a rock.
The mason broke the rock and scattered stone powder everywhere.
The strongest thing in the world was the stonemason himself, who had thought himself insignificant and wanted to escape.
People strive to have more.
They want a car because the commute is difficult, but once they have one, they want to change it for a better one.
The desire to have more can be a driving force for development, but I think that before that, we should think about having gratitude for what we have now.
Like the story of the stonemason, if you don’t have gratitude for what you have, it may be a vain dream to obtain something more than what you have.
What others have may look good, but what I have may look special to others.
When you look around, you will see people who complain, “Why am I so poor?”
When you ask such people, “Do you really have nothing?” no one will be able to answer “yes” right away.
If someone were to answer “yes” right away, that person would have to spend their entire life complaining.
Let’s think about what I have now.
You will be able to feel how precious and valuable the things you have are. When we know the value of what we have and have an attitude of gratitude, we can create a path to a better life.
Thank you for listening.

 

 

Topic – The anxiety of isolation can be resolved through communication

Hello.
I am ○○○, the instructor who is here to help you with your self-development.
First of all, I am pleased to be with those who are interested in self-development.
These days, society is so busy and moves so fast that it is hard to find a modern person who looks back on themselves and reflects on their lives.
This is because they believe that the time spent stopping and thinking will result in them being left behind.
But this is a false sense of urgency.
The faster the pace of development, the more time is needed to reflect on and check oneself.
This is because, if we are not careful, we may end up taking the wrong direction for the right direction and make an irreparable mistake.
There is a saying that you should check every bridge before crossing it.
The more you are in a hurry, the more you should go back.
We will have to move forward with self-checks and take sufficient time to fill in the gaps. Filling in the gaps is a self-development program that will continue at this lecture.
Modern people meet many people. They work together for common business with many people. However, although I meet many people, I feel much more lonely than I did in the past. And I feel anxious. This is because they are constantly faced with endless competition.
It is quite common for a colleague who you thought was on your side to suddenly become your enemy due to competition. Modern people are suffering from loneliness and anxiety.
What they gain from the competition may be short-term,
but in the long run, they feel that there is nothing left but a psychological sense of alienation.
How can we overcome these feelings of alienation and live happily at work and in our daily lives? The answer is simple.
It is communication.
What is the difference between cooperation and competition?
It is the presence or absence of communication. Whether there is communication or not affects the relationship between colleagues.
Is it not a very special alternative?
But you are not doing that in your daily life, which you think is a very ordinary answer. When you actually try to communicate, you may find it difficult.
This self-development lecture series has various programs.
Each program has a different topic and theme, but the main focus is on communication.
What do you think happiness is?
Money and honor? A comfortable old age?
I would define it as living a life that is consistently fun, not lonely, and not alienated.
Communication makes a fun life possible.
Don’t you want to enjoy a fresh life with the gentle breeze blowing without being isolated?
Communicate.
It is the most basic, yet the most important and reliable method.
I hope this self-development program will be an opportunity for people to communicate with each other, from their closest family members to friends and colleagues at work.
Thank you.
