    Michael Jackson was on the road of performing when he was five years old. As is known to all, the road to fame and fortune is a long, hard one.

    Michael remembers those early years when he was young. "My father was a machine operator," he explained, "and he worked at a steel plant. My mother worked at Sears, a big department store. But they were both musicians."

    Michael's father Joe Jackson realized his sons had a lot of talent, and he knew he could train them to become fine musicians. In those days there were plenty of music groups and some of them were very good. He knew if his sons were to stand out, they would have to be the best.

    Practice makes perfect. And the Jackson boys practiced! Gradually the group took shape. Then word of this group began to get around. Thus Michael got a chance to do some solo (独唱) songs. In the following years, Michael was always on the top. One million records of his were sold in New Zealand, which has only a total population of three million!

    When Michael was eighteen, he entered another field of his career (生涯) —acting. "I plan to star in movies," he told his friends, "but of course, my first love is music."

    Michael wrote a lot of his own songs. "Songs came about in the strangest ways," he said. "I'll just wake up from sleeping and there is a whole song coming into my head. And then I put it down on the paper."

    Still, with all his success, Michael managed to keep his head calm. "I just do a different job from other people," he said, "but it doesn't make me think I'm better than other people."

    To be quite honest, his fans just love to hear and watch him!

    Many people, including me, have been talking about how to listen. But as a leader, employee, family member or friend, there will be times you need to clearly state what you believe and what you want to happen next. How you speak up will determine how seriously people take you.

    Speak for yourself. Use the word "I" when you state your point of view and suggestions for action. Own your opinion.

    Summarize (总结) your story to show your reason.  Don't explain everything. You will lose those people who need you to get to the point quickly. When you practice, explain yourself, and then cut your story in half.

    This is where you paint the picture of the best possible ending if your request is honored. Make sure it is a vision that will appeal to those you are speaking to and it also relieves their pain and helps with their goals.

    Let them call you names. There will always be people who find fault with you, your voice, or your style.  Don't give in because of their behaviors. Let them call you whatever they like.

    Most people regret what they didn't say more than what they did. Don't hide or tell yourself that now is not the right time. Think it through and then clearly make your case for change.

A. Don't include every detail.

B. Tell people what you believe.

C. Describe the desired outcome.

D. Determine how you want to show up.

E. Ask if there is anything they don't understand about what you are saying.

F. With a sense of how you want to show up, organize your words by these rules.

G. There will always be people who spend their time looking for what they can attack.

    "I think I'm nothing more than a dead fish." "I don't want to do anything." "I'm so beat and so sad." …The young generation in our country used to enjoy their "happy culture" but now they have become "beat and sad" slowly and secretly. Some people even called it "the beat culture". The "beat" youths don't want to do anything. They have no purpose, no desire and they are totally depressed and they only want to live an aimless life. The song "I feel like having been drained" is the example.

    Many media concern themselves about this phenomenon and try to persuade the youths into embracing positive and healthy feelings and encourage them to work hard to get rid of decadence. This is really a kind gesture. However, we don't have to worry too much about "the beat culture". In fact, it's not a negative thing. "Beat" never means despair, but a way of self-mockery (自嘲) and pressure relief.

    In general, the youths in China are not "beat". According to a recent international research, the youths in China hold positive attitude towards the future. 29% of the Chinese interviewees believe they will live and work in peace in China because "as long as you work hard, you can have your own day". Around 93% of the Chinese interviewees believe the future is promising because of medicine industry, renewable energy sources and computer. Compared with Chinese youngsters, youths in developed countries are more pessimistic.

    Of course there are some social reasons for the appearing of "the beat culture". As urbanization develops rapidly, youths living in big cities are facing new challenges that their forefathers have never encountered before. Loneliness and feelings of insignificance and powerlessness are easy to get a hold of the young people. Without proper care, they could threaten the youths' mentality and cause many social problems. These problems probably need our attention more.
