Editor's Notes
- Fellow Toastmasters of Go-GettersWhenever I hear the name of Scarlett Oh, the ‘Scarlett’ reminds me the movie of “Gone with the wind” Among top 100 movie in 20th century by API, this movie was chosen as a No. 4. The novel by Margret Mitchell sold over 30 million copies. In 1930s, this novel was No.2 bestseller besides Bible. When I stay in GA, I had a chance to visit the birthplace of “Gone with the Wind”. Tonight, I want to share the memory of Gone with the wind.
- The novel of Gone with the wind is a very famous novel. The story include the romance, civil war, revenge, and sorrow during 1800s in southern America. After graduate woman college, Margaret became a journalist at Atlanta, GA. She did her best as a reporter and married with handsome business man twice.
- Fellow toastmasters, In a sudden day, her leg was broken by accident. So, she could not walk out for a while. When she began to feel useless from Atlanta Journal, she started to write the new novel related to civil war. She was accustomed to writing style as a journalist, she wrote her novel with a mind of “The first thing is the first, always” Actually, she already got her own plot, she wrote if from the ending to the beginning. People likes to read the result, conclusion first always.
- Fellow toastmasters, she died by car accident. In 1949, the drunken off-duty taxi driver hit her while crossing the intersection of Peachtree. She died after five-day later and was buried in Atlanta. She did not leave any last message before death except one note.That was “I do not want publish this manuscript yet”She was writing new book during more than 10 years, but she thought it’s not ready yet. Therefore Gone with the wind is her the first and the last novel.She is a very special winner of Pfritzer prize the person who publish only one book ever. That novel became the world best novel.
- Fellow Toastmaster, we all know this quote “Tomorrow is another day” In the last scene, Scarlett Ohara said “After all, tomorrow is another day” after getting dumped by LettoBatler. Although things are bad today, tomorrow will bring something to look forward. Although Letto left her, Scarlet had to survive in this circumstance and to keep going on her job. It reminds me that today may have been bad and difficult to live, but you can try again tomorrow.
- In closing of my speech, I would like to wrap up my memory with Gone with the wind. Due to the broken leg by accident, she lost her decent job. However, she never ever give up her own dream to be a writer. Second, she did not never ever hurry up for new novel. She waited for her own preparation. Third, she want to tell the southerner having sorrow that keep your head up, cause tomorrow is another day.
