演说题目：玩溜溜球，我是认真的！
When I was 14 years old, I had low self-esteem. I felt I was not talented at anything.One day, I bought a yo-yo. When I tried my first trick, it looked like this.
在我14岁的时候，我是个自卑的人，我觉得自己一无所长。有一天，我买了个溜溜球。当我第一次试着玩时，它看起来是这个样子的。
I couldn t even do the simplest trick, but it was very natural for me, because I was not dextrous, and hated all sports. But after one week of practicing, my throws became more like this. A bit better.
我甚至无法使出简单的招数。然而，这对我来说很正常，因为我并不灵巧，而且厌恶所有运动。但经过一个星期的练习，我可以做出这样的动作了，稍微好了一些。
I thought, the yo-yo is something for me to be good at, for the first time in my life. I found my passion. I was spending all my time practicing. It took me hours and hours a day to build my skills up to the next level.
我认为，溜溜球将会是我这辈子所擅长的第一样东西。我发现了我的热情。我把我所有的时间都用在练习上，每天好几个小时，来锻炼我的技能以达到更高水平。
And then, four years later, when I was 18 years old, I was standing onstage at the World Yo-Yo Contest. And I won. I was so excited. "Yes, I did it! I became a hero. I may get many sponsors, a lot of money, tons of interviews, and be on TV!" I thought.
接着，四年后，当我年满18岁时，我站在世界溜溜球比赛的舞台上，我赢了。我当时是如此兴奋。“是的，我做到了！我成了英雄。我将会有很多赞助商，会有很多钱，一堆的访谈，也可以上电视了！”我是这么想的。
But after coming back to Japan, totally nothing changed in my life. I realized society didn t value my passion. So I went back to my college and became a typical Japanese worker as a systems engineer. I felt my passion, heart and soul, had left my body.
但回到日本后，我的生活没有任何改变。我意识到，社会不重视我的热情。所以我回到大学，成为一个典型的日本劳动者，系统工程师。我感到我的热情、理想、和灵魂已离开我的身体。
I felt I was not alive anymore.So I started to consider what I should do, and I thought, I wanted to make my performance better, and to show onstage how spectacular the yo-yo could be to change the public s image of the yo-yo.
我丧失了活着的感觉，所以，我开始考虑我应该做什么，我想我要使我的表演更好，并在舞台上展示溜溜球表演可以多么壮观，以改变大家对溜溜球的印象。
So I quit my company and started a career as a professional performer. I started to learn classic ballet, jazz dance, acrobatics and other things to make my performance better.
所以我辞掉我的工作，并作为一个专业的表演人，开始了我的职业生涯。我开始学习古典芭蕾、爵士舞和杂技等等，以使我的表演更好。
As a result of these efforts, and the help of many others, it happened. I won the World Yo-Yo Contest again in the artistic performance division. I passed an audition for Cirque du Soleil.
由于这些努力和其他许多人的帮助，奇迹出现了。我再次在世界溜溜球大赛的表演艺术类别中赢得大奖。我通过了太阳马戏团（Cirque du Soleil）的试镜。
Today, I am standing on the TED stage with the yo-yo in front of you.What I learned from the yo-yo is, if I make enough effort with huge passion, there is no impossible.
今天，我站在TED的舞台上，带着溜溜球站在你们面前。我从溜溜球之中所学到的就是：只要心怀热情，不懈努力，就没有不可能的事。
Could you let me share my passion with you through my performance?
