a real test in my life

　　when i was a ten-year-old girl, i was once asked to deliver a speech titled” a real test in my life”. to talk before the whole class! just imagine! that will be a “real test to me, then so terribly shy as to tremble at the mere thought of uttering any word with so many eyes set upon me.

　　i had no other choice, though. first was to draft the speech. this just a piece of cake to me; i was a good writer----something to pride myself in. the hard part lied with my oral presentation; to read from the paper was not allowed; i had to give the speech from my memory and in front of such a big audience! a real trial began when i stood on the platform, my mind blank and my legs trembling. somewhere from that corner came some giggling or what. my eyes became dim and i vaguely sensed some cool dripping down my face. how much time had passed by, i didn’t know. my audiences were still waiting, patiently and without signs of rushing me. gradually found myself back, stammering out my speech. finally i finished. after what seemed to be a hundred years, i found my audience applauding. i made it!

　　from then on, my fear for talking before an audience disappeared. actually with my confidence building up, i now turn to be a great speaker. looking back, i know the greatest obstacle on our way to success is our fear; overcome it and let our potential out, and we will make to our goals

　　古往今來，誠信便是豪杰英雄惺惺相惜、成就大業的根本，不論儒法，還是佛道。三鹿由誠信起家成為乳制品行業龍頭，又因為摒棄誠信、欺騙消費者而破產。誠信是不能舍棄的。

　　誠信是君子最重要的美德，昭顯著異樣的光彩。劉玄德秉持誠信，打動諸葛孔明，三分天下，成就霸業。梁山好漢，一諾千金，甘為朋友兩肋插刀，更被才子寫入名著，感動后人。而那些本著“有權不用，過期作廢”的權勢人物，或許早已忘記了在鐮刀斧頭下的信誓旦旦。行為的約束，信仰的表白，一個連自己的信仰都可以隨意丟棄的人，社會最終也將他拋棄。
