Lesson from The King's Speech

Have a faith in your voice.

As a child, young Bertie was both teased and ignored by the powerful men in his family. Growing up, his stammer became worse because he believed he didn't have a voice. Just as many beginning speakers struggle to get their words out, Bertie had to overcome a lack of faith in himself. Just as the crown was given to Bertie at an early age, you too will have your moment to shine. The question is : Will you have faith in yourself and in what you are saying? The secret here is to persist.

Bertie : What are you doing? Get up!

Lionel : I'm tired.

Bertie : You can't sit there.

Lionel : Why not? It's a chair.

Bertie : It's the chair upon which every King for six and a half centuries has been crowned.

Lionel : I don't care how many royal backsides have sat on it, it's a building block with handles attached.

Bertie : Listen to me...

Lionel : Listen to you? By what right?

Bertie : Divine right, if you must! I'm your King!

Lionel : No, you're not! You said you didn't want it. So why should I listen to a poor stammering fellow who can't put one word after another? Why waste my time listening to you?

Bertie : Because I have right to be heard!

Lionel : Heard as what?

Bertie : A man! I HAVE A VOICE!

Lionel : (quietly) Well then... you're cured.

여러분의 목소리에 신념(믿음)을 가져라.

어렸을 때, 어린 버티는 그의 집안에서 영향력 있는 사람들에게서 놀림 받고 무시당했다. 자라면서, 그는 자신이 목소리를 가지고 있지 않다고 믿었기 때문에 그의 말더듬은 더욱 심해졌다. 많은 초보 연설자들이 그들의 단어를 내뱉을 때 어려움을 겪듯이, 버티도 자신에 대한 신념의 부족을 극복해야만 했다. 어린 나이에 버티에게 왕위가 수여되었던 것처럼 여러분도 빛을 발하는 때가 있을 것이다. 질문은 다음과 같다. 여러분은 여러분에 대한, 그리고 여러분이 말하고 있는 것에 대한 신념을 가질 것인가? 그에 대한 비결은 바로 끈질기게 계속하는 것이다.

버티 : 뭐하는 거요? 일어나시오!

라이오넬 : 피곤해요.

버티 : 당신은 거기에 앉을 수 없어요!

라이오넬 : 왜 안 돼요? 그냥 의자인데.

버티 : 이것은 6세기 반 동안 모든 왕들이 왕좌를 물려받았던 의자요.

라이오넬 : 나는 얼마나 많은 왕들이 여기에 앉았었는지 관심 없어요. 이것은 그냥 손잡이가 붙어있는 돌덩이일 뿐이요.

버티 : 내 말 좀 들어봐요..

라이오넬 : 당신 말을 들어요? 무슨 권리로요?

버티 : 그렇게 알고 싶다면, 신성한 권리로 말이요! 나는 당신의 왕이요!

라이오넬 : 아니에요. 당신은 그것을 원하지 않았다고 얘기했어요. 그러니 내가 왜 단어 하나도 잇따라 말 못하는 불쌍한 말더듬이 친구의 말을 들어야만 하죠? 왜 나의 시간을 당신의 말을 듣는 데 낭비해야 하죠?

버티 : 왜냐하면 나에게는 (나를) 듣게 할 권리가 있으니까!

라이오넬 : 무엇으로써 듣게 하는거죠?

버티 : 사람! 나는 목소리를 가지고 있어요!

라이오넬 : (조용하게) 자, 그러면 당신은... 치료가 되었군요.

Admit you need help.

Bertie was willing to admit he had a problem. His success was largely due to one man : an Australian speech therapist, Lionel Logue. The young king could have been consumed by his ego, but instead was open to the support of his wife Elizabeth and to being trained by Lionel. Lionel helped Bertie overcome his speech problem, turning him into a great king. No one can become a great presenter by himself / herself. A person needs to let go of hie ego, reach out, and be open to criticism. Remember, though, that you are only as great as the people close to you. Find your own Lionel and Elizabeth.

여러분이 도움을 필요로 한다는 것을 인정하라.

버티는 자신이 문제를 가지고 있음을 기꺼이 인정했다. 그의 성공은 호주에서 온 언어 치료사, 라이오넬 로그의 덕이 크다. 젊은 왕은 그의 자존심에 사로잡혔을 수도 있었지만, 대신에 그는 부인인 엘리자베스의 도움과 라이오넬에게 훈련을 받는 것에 마음의 문을 열었다. 라이오넬은 버티가 그의 말하기 문제점을 극복하도록 도와주었고, 그를 위대한 왕으로 만들었다. 누구도 혼자 힘으로 위대한 연설가가 될 수는 없다. 사람은 그의 자존심을 버리고, 다른 사람에게 다다가고, 비판에 열려 있어야 한다. 기억하라, 그래도. 여러분은 단지 여러분 가까이에 있는 사람들만큼이나 위대하다. 여러분만의 라이오넬과 엘리자베스를 찾아라.
