1) Listen to Good Lecturers In order for you to become a renowned lecturer on the world level, you have to listen to all the leaders' speeches. Therefore, when you study you will feel improvement. It will be different from yesterday. Preparation for tomorrow, preparation in greater depth, preparation on a higher level... Even in watching a movie, there is qualitative difference between one who watches once and one who watches ten times. Only someone who wants to see it over and over again can give a critique that surpasses that of the director of that movie. Isn't this so? [Yes] Centering on the Principle, how much do you study to become well-versed in it? The question is how much you repeat it. The question is whether or not you have reflected on it, put it into practice, criticized it, and such things. (66-106) What do you have to do to become a famous lecturer? You have to collect the cassette recordings of all the renowned lecturers all over the nation, and while listening to them and critically evaluating them, make a notebook full of records on the best points in the methods that are used in each lecture. In order to do this, you should always have a pile of recorded cassettes. If you pick out the clever contents, those witty words that are spoken before tens or hundreds of people, and use them by adding them to the core messages during your lectures, you can become an outstanding lecturer. You should all do it. We made a resolution on this in the leaders' meeting. We made the promise, "We will do it that way. Because the leader of Korea did not come here, I will go and pass through in his place." Now, in this hour, we are to pass through. You heard me, right? [Yes] Everyday you must lecture more than eight hours. You should gather three people, even one person, and lecture before them. (68-94) You all should do it this way. If it has been ten years, you should pass the test quickly. You should all take the Principle test. Do you understand? [Yes] Then, the leaders of mobilization teams should be responsible for sending one person to the workshop every month! Moreover, the leaders of provinces and the church leaders must give tests so that a talented person can be sent! Church leaders, do you understand? After you have received education and return, you should give the test three times. Do you understand? You are to become the supervisors for the tests. Having done this, if there are three people who score above 70 points, then what do you do with them next? You are to send them to the mobilization teams. After they are sent to the mobilization teams, if they score over 70 points there they should not quit the mobilization teams, but should all be sent to the workshops. So, what is the formation stage? It is getting 70 points in the church. The growth stage is receiving 70 points in the mobilization teams, and next, you should receive 70 points in the workshop. Only when you move forward in this manner, may you obtain the normal recognition and title as a church leader in the Unification Church, but otherwise, you have no chance to make it. You should listen to lectures a lot, and give many lectures. (68-94) An oriental man's mentality and a Western man's mentality differ a little bit. An oriental person tries to focus on one thing, but a Western person spreads himself in all directions. From this perspective, if you educate the Western people to be those who can work just on one task for ten, one hundred, or three hundred and sixty days without any complaint, then surely they will become great people. However, American people prefer life full of variety. Isn't this true? If you make them repeat the same thing several times, then they will become sick of doing it. From this point of view, it can be seen that because tomorrow is linked to the past and the present, through the path of persistence and in a straight line, it is not something that is met with change but is something that is inherited. Because what one has achieved through persistence remains firm in one's memory, you have to learn to become persistent. When you are trying to become a great marksman, can you have the attitude that, "Since I have shot ten times through one hole, now I can stop." You have to shoot through one hole a thousand or ten thousand times. The more you continue the more advantageous it becomes. So, the fact is that how much one trains oneself determines one's accomplishments.... Moreover, that accomplishment becomes the condition to pioneer victory. This is an undeniable truth. So, you are to listen a lot. You should listen to lectures often--even a thousand or ten thousand times. Next, you should do a lot, you should put it into action repeatedly. When you put it into practice often, you will obtain relative results. Is this false? [It is true] So, you should listen a lot. Now, for those of you who have heard Mr. Kim lecture, it is not enough to just listen to him. Because you can hear only Mr. Kim's lecture, you should go to other places, such as Korea, and even though you have to use an interpreter, listen to the lecturers there. Assess them. (66-109)
