Speak

Aha! I'm finally back! I had been overwhelmed by the most heavy finals I had ever had. That resulted in 1 post in December, and now the first post in 2010, even though almost half of January has past. This semester I took 25 credits which I thought my sophomore year would be fulfilled and hard-working. I was proud that I had more credits than others at first, but in the end, I was totally regretful. Seriously regretful! I must admit the stress and tension had gone too far for me to handle with. But what on the earth pushed me to select those courses was that I really wanted to unveil the mystery of law. Yes, I mean "law." I wasn't interested in law at all before I majored in law. It used to be an image of a mountain of books and something for nerds. The symbol of lawyers that Hollywood movies give us is usually cold-blood and, at times, too holy to be real. I never planned to stand in a court or even speak to the Judges. I can't speak!

Since I was little, I have always told that speech or public speaking would never be my career. The public had always been my biggest fear. But, nobody ever told me this kind of ability could be trained! Well, some of the speakers, like B.Obama, Bruce Y.H.Liao, (XD) are born to be! They just can catch your eyes and let your minds be drunk. Every words coming out from their mouths are priceless, no matter which way they put it. I truly wish I could be one of them! To be a leader, besides charisma, power of speech, I believe, is the invisible weapon to control the crowd without failure. I guess some of the law students are pretty afraid of speaking in public, since what they are usually talking to are books or textbooks, which don't make any response or comments needed. And I, needless to say, am one of those who need to be trained to speak in front of people.

There is no doubt that law, as an oldest field that have last for centuries, is a subject hard to be digest, and absorb. Even for those who have taste it for the rest of their lives, from time to time, law books are still uneatable. How could you expect any layman to listen to any legal terms or understand any reasons that cases represent. Therefore, a translator is much more important than anything else. Who can be the translator? Spearker! A speaker of law. A speaker who study in law and know how to put it in a way that anyone can take it as a famous public debate. Stir the words, and the tide will be in. This is what law is for, not to cause the fight, but to teach them how to fight within boundaries. Of course, the speaker is the one with the sword.
