The Marvel Steps of Our Dreams…
April 6, 2009
“There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why…
I dream of things that never were, and ask
why not?”
Robert Francis Kennedy, 1968
Greetings, My Friends!
Long time passed since we last updated our web-page.. Technical problems.. Now we’re back again!
Almost two weeks of Spring Master Classes passed..
We’re really happy too see that You really like our Spring Master Classes.. That you are striving for excellence and expanding your borders.. And you do it with us! We promise you that after SMC graduation you’ll be really tired but absolutely happy! And you’ll have a real chance to follow your dreams!
You’ve learnt a lot about leadership and Public Speaking.. And it is only beginning! Time-management, goalsetting, debates, conference, project-management and lots of other interesting things are waiting for you.. And we have two really great surprises for you!

One day I heard a story at Aerostat Radio….
A son came to his father and said: “Dad, greet me! I’ve entered the University!!”
And the father answered: “Well done! Congratulations! So what next?”
- I’ll graduate from the University with honours, find a good job, marry a beautiful girl, buy a house!
- Excellent! So what next?
- Next?.. We’ll have wonderful kids; job will bring me respect and money; so.. everything will be fine!
- Splendid, my son! So what next?
- Mmm.. my children will grow up, they’ll have their own kids – and I’ll get old as a head of a big and united family; I’ll retire surrounded with care and respect..
- That’s great! So what next?
- Father, what else could be next? I’ll die then..
- Awesome! So what next?
…
The son stoped in silence… Than he understood.. took his hat from his head, threw it on the ground and danced a crazy jig on it!
- “Thank You, Father! Without you I could forget what it’s all about!” – the only thing he said..

Can you guess what did the son realized?
Keep it with You..

So what’s new on our web-page..
Following the lecture about “Analysing the Best Rhetoric Practices..” and “The Cave” we’ve added links to some materials from the lectures. Now you can watch the Greatest Speeches Which Changed The World here.. Check it out! Moreover now you can download .mp3 recordings of the greatest speeches of America (again.. this is not about policy.. this is about public speaking!) including the rare speech of Alexander Solzhenitsyn – “A World Split Apart”.. here.. And we ‘ve found some staff for you about “The Cave Allegory”.. Original Plato’s text.. and some visualizations.. short movies.. You can find it on our ideaBox!
More Robin Sharma’s PODCAST recordings available.. 11/36
A new chapter of “Как поставить собеседника на место!” is available..
And one more thing about Google..
Google is an amazing service.. I guess in a few years it will learn how to cook dinner for us!)) And clean our shoes! But we are here on SMC in order to learn something by ourselves.. in order to develop our skills and abilities! That’s why I encourage you not to use Google Page Translator.. And try to understand everything by yourself! Another good idea is to use Lingvo! It really helps!))
Thanks and see you on SMC!
Yours Sincerely,
CT.

So great to see a reference to “The Cave”. I like what I am seeing in your idea box and the variety you are giving your students in learning about public speaking.
