一、Message from Deepak Menon
新年寄语是什么呢？全球主席只说了一个关键字：Trust。
是啊，在当今世界，信任是多么的稀缺与宝贵。那么信任建立的关键是什么呢？
Deepak告诉我们：
It’s Built by Action, Not Accident。
信任不是虚幻缥缈的概念，而是实际的和有形的动作。尊重每一个人、用心聆听、打开思路、关怀他人，这些都是创造信任的方法。即便信任暂时丧失了，也不要怕。只要我们愿意改变，信任终究还是会回来的。
My fellow Toastmasters,
I wish you a happy, successful, and “trustworthy” new year!

2. In Command
都说头马里的人是弱势群体，来来来，本期介绍一位女将军（major general）Laura Yeager。在2019年，她成为了美国第一位领导第40步兵军的女性指挥官。她也是美国首位领导第40战斗航空旅的女性指挥官。Laura原本是一名黑鹰战机的飞行员，于2011年参加了伊拉克战争，负责医疗救护与逃生。值得一提的是，Laura的父亲也是一名少将。
那作为一个拥有四年马龄的头马人，她对头马的评价是什么呢？
“Being able to effectively communicate is an essential skill in the military that we do prioritize,” says Yeager. “The best way to improve is through repetition and by getting constructive feedback, which are opportunities provided by Toastmasters.”

四、Wisdom of Toastmasters
1. New Habits, New Life!
先听听专家怎么说吧
- 文章作者Peggy Beach says: “Yet habits have the power to change our lives. Small tasks add upto big accomplishments.”
- Annie Dillard put it, “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”
- Dr. Wendy Wood, provost professor of psychology and business at University of Southern California and the author of Good Habits, Bad Habits, says“Habits don’t work just by people making a conscious decision to change,” Wood says. “They form only slowly as we learn by doing.”
那么，怎么改变来培养习惯呢？
※ Get Enough Sleep 睡好才有精力培养好习惯
※ Start Small and Start Now 先定一个小目标和小计划吧
※ Repeat, Repeat, Repeat 重复直到成为习惯
※ Change the Circumstance or Location 孟母三迁
※ Set a Schedule, Find a Partner 同伴的力量
怎么样？新年新气象，从阅读头马杂志这个习惯开始吧。
