1. 0:00Hi, I'm Yuzu and today I'm going to talk
2. 0:03about a quote that the first step is
3. 0:07always the hardest.
4. 0:09This quote means that as someone
5. 0:13trying on a new area, the first step is
6. 0:17always the most difficult part of the
7. 0:20mission.
8. 0:22As the person gets
9. 0:27through the process, things will be more
10. 0:31easier and easier with [snorts] time.
11. 0:33And in the process, the person could
12. 0:38either earn more opportunity or they can
13. 0:43study more skills or they can become
14. 0:48more confidence.
15. 0:50However, they still become better. and
16. 0:54their ways. The first example that
17. 0:58illustrate this quote could be um the
18. 1:02NAS the NASA's Apollo 11 the moon
19. 1:07mission
20. 1:09before the NASA actually sended the
21. 1:14astronauts
22. 1:15onto the moon before they landed on the
23. 1:18moon. Nobody think this um goal is
24. 1:23achievable
25. 1:24but however NASA still take this first
26. 1:29step of um landing on moon. They tried a
27. 1:34new tech uh new tech technique
28. 1:39technologies and they sended many
29. 1:43astronauts into space. They did a lot of
30. 1:47trying
31. 1:50and they did a lot of works to
32. 1:54achieve this um one of the greatest h
33. 1:59achievement in human history. The second
34. 2:03example would be the American Revolution
35. 2:08when the
36. 2:11American colonist they first fight for
37. 2:15their independence.
38. 2:17It was very hard and many people
39. 2:22sacrifice themselves
40. 2:25through they know that it might doesn't
41. 2:28work at the first time but they still
42. 2:33fight for it. Um
43. 2:37this leads into a long uh struggle but
44. 2:41it still leads to the founding of the
45. 2:46United States.
46. 2:49The third example could be um when
47. 2:55children's they first went to a school
48. 2:59either kindergart kindergarten or
49. 3:01primary elementary school
50. 3:06they could be nervous on the first day
51. 3:10or even before they went to the school.
52. 3:13They don't want to go to school. They
53. 3:14don't want to try new stuff. But as
54. 3:17[snorts] they went to the school and
55. 3:20they knew friends they they
56. 3:25have more friends and they enjoy the
57. 3:29life of school. They have um chance to
58. 3:36learn new knowledge and uh
59. 3:41later they think
60. 3:44uh study is a interesting thing because
61. 3:47they can spend nice time with their
62. 3:50friend in school.
63. 3:54And that's basically the speech and I
64. 3:58would like to do a quick conclusion
65. 4:02before we end it. Um like as we know
66. 4:06every uh success has a difficult
67. 4:11starting right and as same as the uh
68. 4:16quote of loud um every journal of
69. 4:21thousand miles have have to take the
70. 4:25first step right so people have to take
71. 4:30uh actions to achieve their goal even
72. 4:34though the the
73. 4:37process might be difficult
74. 4:41but it's the only way that people can
75. 4:46involve from the current level. Yeah.
76. 4:50Thank you for listening. I'm Isu.
