From abandoned baby to CEO

Although she has given hundreds of speeches, it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous when she actually gave a speech in front of tens of thousands of people.

Before going on stage, she encouraged herself countless times in her heart: Sun Xue, you are the best! You will definitely be able to give an excellent speech!

When I heard the host's enthusiastic introduction, "Next, we invite Sun Xue, a young writer from Quanzhou City, a touching person from Quanzhou City, and the on-site translator of this speech, to give us a wonderful speech."

Hearing the host using so many titles when introducing herself, Sun Xue became even more nervous.

She quickly walked out from the side of the rostrum and trotted all the way to the center of the rostrum.

Maybe he was too nervous, or maybe he was running too fast, his steps became disordered, and with a loud bang, he fell heavily on the stage.

"Oh my god! I'm done for! I've embarrassed myself so much!"

For a few seconds, Sun Xue's mind went blank...

The audience burst into laughter.

When the host ran to Sun Xue, she had already stood up.

She calmly picked up the microphone from the ground, straightened her appearance, and a smile quickly appeared on her face.

She tried to calm herself and keep a cool head.

At this time, there was still laughter in the audience. Everyone was looking forward to seeing how Sun Xue would deal with this embarrassing situation, just like a spectator.

Sun Xue picked up the microphone, pretended to be relaxed, and spoke slowly.

"You all saw it just now, right? When you unfortunately fall down on the journey of life, the right thing to do is not to cry or complain, but to get up immediately, dust yourself off, hold your head high and keep moving forward!"

Sun Xue's witty and humorous response instantly resolved the awkward situation.

There was a sudden burst of laughter in the stadium, followed by thunderous applause.

The audience applauded her humor and her excellent ability to control the situation.

It was this little episode that brought her closer to the audience, and Sun Xue became relaxed.

Minister Li, who was sitting on the rostrum, was really worried about Sun Xue when he saw what happened just now. Unexpectedly, Sun Xue easily resolved the situation in the next second, and he couldn't help but give Sun Xue a thumbs up.

Sun Xue cleared her throat and asked with a smile, "Has anyone here seen me in the university town these two days?"

"Have!"

Several audience members who looked like college students immediately answered loudly.

"If it weren't for a decision made two days ago, I would be sitting in the audience listening to the speech like you today."

Sun Xue's opening remarks immediately aroused the audience's curiosity.

"Just two days ago, I was on the campus of Quancheng University, enthusiastically recruiting students for my English training school. I accidentally heard that the speech meeting would recruit on-site interpreters, so I decisively signed up."

"When the interviewer heard that I only had a secondary school degree, he immediately rejected me. He told me that the minimum educational requirement for interviewees was a bachelor's degree."

"If you encounter such a situation, how should you deal with it next?"

After saying this, Sun Xue looked around the entire stadium. Everyone was silent, with anticipation in their eyes.

Sun Xue continued, "After hearing this, I think many people might give up, complaining that they didn't have enough education and missed such an opportunity. Do you want to know what I did next?"

"miss you!"

Everyone answered in unison.

"I didn't get discouraged, and I didn't give up. I told the interviewer confidently that except for my academic qualifications, all other conditions of mine met your requirements and you had to choose me. If you don't choose me, it will not be my loss, but yours."

Sun Xue said self-deprecatingly, "That was a bit arrogant. I felt panic in my heart after saying it."

There was a sudden burst of laughter in the stadium.

"My purpose is simple, to meet the interviewer."

"I remember a celebrity once said, 'Give me a fulcrum and I can shake the earth.' I firmly believe that if I am given a chance to meet the interviewer, I can change the interviewer's prejudice against me."

Sun Xue's wit and humor once again won everyone's applause.

"During the interview, I tried my best and used all my skills, and finally won a little favor from the interviewer."

"However, the interviewer regretfully told me that although my performance was quite good, I registered too late and unfortunately missed the best opportunity."

"But I didn't give up."

"I thought to myself, I don't care what you say, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will work a hundred times harder to fight for it."

"Maybe my persistence touched God. No, to be more precise, it touched the interviewer. He finally relented and agreed to recommend me for professional testing."

"Just like that, my thick skin and persistence finally won me this opportunity!"

After Sun Xue finished speaking, laughter and applause echoed over the gymnasium.

No one expected that the translator for such a speech event attended by tens of thousands of people would be a technical secondary school student.

I never expected that she would have such a story.

Everyone was deeply moved by her candor, courage and perseverance.

Facing the applause, Sun Xue bowed deeply.

"I'm not telling you this story to show off how good I am. I just want to tell you that when an opportunity comes to you, you should not complain, give up, or watch the opportunity slip away from you. Instead, you should ask yourself, have I done my best to fight for the opportunity?"

"I know that many of you who are here to listen to my speech today are college students. You should have a hundred times more confidence in yourselves. A technical secondary school student like me with average looks and average IQ can stand on the stage and give a speech to tens of thousands of people. You can do it, too. You can even be better than me!"

Sun Xue's words won everyone's favor and aroused their enthusiasm, and they once again gave her warm applause.

After telling this little story, Sun Xue was completely immersed in the speech and no longer felt nervous at all.

It is through small stories like these that Sun Xue left a good impression of being humorous and down-to-earth on the audience.

Sun Xue didn't want to pile up a bunch of big truths, as that would be meaningless.

Everyone gets excited when they listen to it, but after listening to it they feel it is so ethereal and has no practical effect at all.

She just wants to empower others by sharing her own story.

She doesn't expect that one speech can transform everyone, that's unrealistic.

She knows very well that success cannot be achieved overnight. Everyone has his or her own life trajectory and different interpretations of success.

She just wants to convey a belief to everyone through her story: never admitting defeat and never giving up is also a life attitude.

The rest of the speech seemed easy and natural.

Sun Xue shared how she transformed herself from a girl of humble origins living deep in the mountains through hard work.

Her sincerity and attitude towards life deeply touched every audience present.

They also expressed their recognition and love for Sun Xue with the warmest applause.

Sun Xue suddenly realized that the speech she had prepared was of no use at all.

After the speech, amid thunderous applause, Sun Xue bowed deeply again to the tens of thousands of listeners present to express her gratitude.

The applause in the stadium lasted for a long time.

Minister Li walked to Sun Xue's side, held her hand tightly, and said excitedly, "Sun Xue, your speech was so wonderful! I am moved by you!"
