第一次，开会开了2个多小时，居然一个哈欠没打。今天项目组请来了一个澳洲名人，Max Walker，澳洲注册建筑师、前澳洲板球队队员、前AFL球员，作家，ABC板球节目的现场评论员。Max是个天生的演讲家，足足说了一个多小时，完全不用看演讲稿，而且声音抑扬顿挫，很好听。
他演讲的主要内容，简单概括就是dreams come true。作为一个包工头的儿子，不难想象他能成为一名注册建筑师。出生在塔斯马尼亚岛的他，感觉塔斯马尼亚跟澳洲就像隔了个长城。然而当他18岁的时候，带着cricket 职业队的帽子跑向他爸爸的时候，问“dad, how's that?” 他爸说"no bad， no bad"， 然后他爸爸拿了那顶帽子戴上，问他“how's that?”,"not bad~~~"。就这样，他开始了他的cricket的职业生涯，而那时候他已经打了85场的职业AFL比赛。
当他入选了国家板球队的时候，他当时的教练要求他们全队把cricket帽都脱下，放在一个大的袋子里，说，如果你们失去了冠军的梦想，你们就不配戴这顶帽子；最后他们凭着对冠军的渴求，在UK赢得了ashes的比赛。
而当他退役做了10年建筑师之后，突然有一天ABC电视台打电话过来，问他想不想去做个现场评论员，就这样他又成为了一个体育评论员。
就这样他带着对生活的热爱的、对生活的梦想，一步步迈向成功。
以下是网上找到的一段关于他的生平：
Max Walker is the son of a Master Builder/Publican and attended a Quaker School in Hobart, Tasmania. Sport was an obsession – especially football and cricket.
At an early age his above average talents were recognised and encouraged.
At 18 he crossed Bass Straight to pursue his passions and seek his sporting destiny. Melbourne Football Club talent scouts had earmarked the schoolboy potential (he played 85 senior VFL games with the Demons.) At the same time his cricket career flourished. First as a bowler for the Melbourne Cricket Club … soon Max was playing for Victoria. In 1972/73 he was rewarded with a Baggy Green Cap … sharing the Australian dressing room with legends of the game – Ian and Greg Chappell, Dennis Lillee, Rodney Marsh, Jeff Thomson and Doug Walters.
Cricket had an enormous impact on his life. Max was an early signature to Kerry Packer’s World Series Cricket revolution. A turbulent 2 years expanding the television mogul’s vision for the marriage of prime time television and sport. It became a marketing magnet and players like Max ‘Tangles’ Walker became more than just cricketers.
He became the face and voice of multi-million dollar marketing campaigns. The television advertising campaign “Avagoodweegend, Mr Walker” catapulted the Aeroguard insect repellent to instant recognition – and 30 years later it is still recognised as part of the Aussie vernacular.
Max’s architectural pursuits enabled him to express some of his creative talents … a profession he practised for more than a decade. Max remains a registered Architect with the RAIA. But it was the media career that really beckoned. Four years alongside Alan McGilvray on ABC Radio as a cricket commentator confirmed his unique talent for descriptive language and entertaining commentary. The Nine Network agreed and big Max was headhunted. Television dominated his world for 2 decades.
As a popular host of the iconic Wide World of Sports programs he spent many hours every weekend in households across the nation – his big, toothy smile and slow Tasmanian drawl drawing him into the viewer’s family.
In an effort to expand his skills of communication … he began to write regularly. Fourteen books and a million-plus sales later he is one of Australia’s best selling authors. New books are being penned and in a touch of old-world charm, still uses a trusty fountain pen to fashion his thoughts.
Today his love of art, architecture, writing and photography is merging with his media experience to help develop new marketing potential in cyberspace using cutting edge technology.
Max’s unique mix of intellect, personality and willingness to travel has enabled him to develop a popular, constant speaking business. He is a Certified Speaking Professional … a designation recognised worldwide. Today he is recognised more for his business activities, speaking, writing and marketing than sport. He has become a Master Communicator.
His attitude of “striving to be the best in your world” is a common thread in of his all endeavours. Together with his larger than life enthusiasm, Max brings a compelling list of skill-sets to any project.
After a lifetime in the spotlight, the name Max Walker has become a brand that is synonymous with integrity, credibility and success. |
