On November 4th, Mr. Darren Mullins began his speech with a song called The Days Of You And Me , which was written by himself in Liyun Building A207.

First of all, Darren showed a famous ranking list of American country music. In this list, Darren’s song was ranked the 10th. However, the song of Taylor Swift was even not among the top 70. Darren thought that everyone had different definitions of success. Some people thought that success was to make a lot of money. Some people held the opinion that success was to win a basketball match. As for Darren, success was to have his songs released.

Darren told the students that we should learn to take risks first if we wanted to be successful. No one wanted to be defeated. But failure was not the end. Risks and opportunities coexisted. As for English learning, you would never learn English well if you felt ashamed to speak just because you were unable to speak English correctly. The last but the most important thing was working hard. No matter what your goal is, no pains, no gains.

Finally, Darren finished his speech with an old song called Love You More Than I Can Say. Everyone has his understanding of success, and should strive for his goals. In this lecture, students enjoyed wonderful music and got a deeper understanding of success.
