罗马不是一天造成的
以下历程与所有人共勉

Thank you all for your congratulations!  It is a great honor for me to win this award again, after 7 years!

I wanted to take the opportunity in my acceptance speech to talk a bit about the importance of practicing, and to encourage the audience to work hard.  Unfortunately, the speech time was limited and I was only able to say some of what I wanted to say.  Here's what I REALLY wanted to say:

I never thought that I had a good voice.  In 1999, when I won this award for the first time, I knew there were serious problems and limitations in my voice that were caused by bad habits and poor technique.  I was struggling with my voice and sometimes it even hurt when I sang.  Honestly, when I received that award, it scared me.  I thought, "My voice doesn't do what I want it to...how can someone with all these vocal problems be the best male vocalist of the year?!"

From that point on, I worked on my voice harder than ever despite many people saying, "Singing can't be learned.  You've either got it, or you don't."   Never believe someone who tries to tell you you can't do something.  If you really want it bad enough, you'll find a way.  But most people HATE practicing because it forces them to face their weaknesses and magnify what they aren't good at.  Practicing makes us feel uncomfortable and can sometimes shake our confidence.  But you don't improve by staying in the comfort zone.  You won't improve without venturing beyond what you already know.

Seven years later, I still don't think I have a great voice, but I know I am a better singer than before.  These improvements have come SLOWLY as the result of commitment and faithful adherence to a vocalizing regiment.  I practice almost every day, and always warm up before every performance (even if it's just an autographing session). I focus on the difficult passages of each song (instead of just enjoying the easy parts) and work on them until they become easier. This often sounds awful and can be embarrassing when people happen to listen to me practice.  But it works.  And if practicing can work for me, it can for you too.

Whether you are a singer, an actor, professional athlete, or WHATEVER, practice is key to getting better results.  "Gong yu shan qi shi bi xian li qi qi. 工欲善其事 必先利其器"  For a school student, practice might mean preparing for a test and working on your weaknesses (unfamiliar material).  Hate practicing?  Well I've grown to love it.

I sincerely hope the new Chinese artists can realize the importance of practicing.  Our competitors should not be each other, but rather, the international artists who have historically set the standard in popular music.  I know if we put in the hard work to improve our skills, we will be one step closer to making Chinese pop music a worldwide phenomenon.

Good luck to all, and happy practicing!

Well, there you have my full speech.  That's what I would have said if I had had 5 minutes!

Thanks for reading, and thanks again for your support. Now that I've won again, I'll continue to work harder.  I hope someday I'll have the voice that I think is actually worthy of such an honor!

Love, peace, music

谢谢大家的祝贺。在七年后，再一次获得这个奖项，对我来说是一个很大的荣誉。

我想借得奖感言的机会，谈一点训练重要性的看法，同时鼓励大家一起努力。可惜，发言时间有限，我只说出了一部分我想说的，以下是我本欲讲的真实感言：

我从未认为，我有一个很好的声音。1999年我第一次获得这个奖项时，不好的发声习惯和贫弱的技巧导致我的声音有很严重的问题和缺陷。我一直在努力改善我的声音，这甚至有时阻碍到唱歌的部分。坦白的讲，得奖的时刻，我有些害怕，因为我意识到，我的声音并没有如我预想的那样。一个声音有问题的人怎能获得年度国语最佳男演唱人呢？

基于这样的认知，我更加努力的改善我的声音，就算很多人都说：“唱歌是无法学习的。你要么拥有这个天赋，要么未得。”千万别相信别人告诉你不可能完成的某件事，如果你真的热切的渴望，你终将寻得一条道路。但是，大部分人不喜欢训练，因为这会迫使他们不得不面对自己的缺点并且放大自己不擅长的部分。训练让我们不舒服，有时甚至会动摇我们的自信。但是，你不可能停留在一个自己舒服的状态中就得到改善，如果不冒险走出已把握的领域，你就难以获得进步。

7年过去了，我仍然认为自己没有一个很棒的声音。但是，我知道我是一个比以前更棒的歌手。这些进步是一个缓慢的过程，它来源于对系统声音训练的诚意坚持和执著。我几乎每天训练，每一次表演前必先开嗓(即便签售会也是如此)。我专注于每首歌难唱的段落（而不是只享受于简单的），反复练习直到它们也变得容易。当别人偶然听到我练习的时候常常会很丢脸和尴尬，但是，这真的很奏效。如果训练对我来说有用，它当然也同样适用于你们。

不论你是一个歌手，演员，专业运动员，或者其他任何职业，训练是更加成功的关键。“工欲善其事 必先利其器”，对于一个学校的学生，训练也许意味着为考试而准备和致力于弥补不足(即那些不熟悉的素材)。讨厌训练么？我们会渐渐的爱上它的。

我衷心的希望，新生代的中国艺术家能够认识到训练的重要性。我们的竞争者不是彼此，而是一直以来制定流行音乐规则的国际音乐人。我深知，如果尽力改善我们的专业技能，我们将走上一条使华语流行音乐越来越世界潮流的道路。

祝所有人好运，并愉快的训练。

嗯，这就是我完整的发言。如果我有5分钟的发言时间，这将是我所要表达的。

谢谢你们阅读，再一次谢谢你们的支持。我又一次赢了。我将继续努力。我希望有一天，我能够拥有一个真正与这个荣誉名副其实的声音。

愿世界充满爱，和平，和音乐。

力宏
