Intensive Oral Communication (3)

Hello, everybody.
How are you today?
The real summer has came back to Fukushima today.
The highest temperature for today was 37 ℃.
It was too hot.

Well, back to talk about our intensive class.
Today is the third day of the intensive class.

We continued our discussion about "HSBC Family Business".
We wrote a short story line of each scenes and tried to describe how the actor is feeling.
Then from that video, we tried to see the motivation/initiative aspect ( not the marketing aspect).
I think everyone who has watched that video can understand what the motivation/initiative aspect i mean.

Initiative can not be taught in class because someone's initiative is coming from his/her own heart. Teacher just can give some encouragement to us. But in the end, deciding to or not to take initiative backs to ourselves.

Initiative is a decision to step first before others made by yourself.
You need COURAGE when taking an initiative and you also need courage to accept all of the consequences of that initiative. Sometimes, the process to get something you want from that initiative is not going well but you should not give up. You should keep your spirit high until you get what you hope from that initiative. That is we call RESPONSIBILITY. Then, you also need CONFIDENCE when taking an initiative so other person can support you and believe that you can do your initiative like you and they are expecting. So, I think when taking initiative, these three elements (courage, responsibility and confidence) should be important.

From the Commercial TV, HSBC Family Business, you can see clearly those elements of initiative.
