前一段时间在网上看到了因为学习疯狂英语而成功的一系列的事例，心里颇有些想法。 疯狂英语，从90年代末风靡起来的英语学习方法。不管是所谓的“狂潮席卷全国，掀起学习英语的新浪潮”，还是学习方法遭到众多英语教育专家的质疑，疯狂英语保持着STICK IT THROUGH的态度走到了现在，经久不衰。我是从初中开始就接触了疯狂英语，而那时参加疯狂英语培训班的已不在少数。转眼到了大学，晚上10点后到ENGLISH STREET走一遭其中不乏李阳的追随者。 就在我们学校，就有一个典型。那个叫林肯的家伙，不管白天黑夜，疯狂练习了三个月的英语，取得了口译证书，刚好当时重庆要开亚洲市长峰会，他便得到了去作翻译的机会。 为什么疯狂英语会如此的深入人心经久不衰，激励着这么多人朝着自己的梦想前进，并且因此有那么多人成功呢？ 我想，首先得意于李阳自身的“传奇”经历。从一个科科必挂的红灯专业户，到被评选为观众最喜爱的英语主播，到被称作“万能翻译机”，这个真实的例子恐怕是这套学习方法最有说服力的例证了吧。困惑的时候就想一想，李阳基础如此薄弱的人尚能成功，我为什么就不可以呢？ 其次，我认为，是因为我们心中都有一个梦想，这才是我们前进的原动力。而迫切想实现这个梦想就给了我们前进的莫大的力量。如果我们没有一个目标，没有自己想要达成的愿望，还有什么能够支撑我们走到最后的终点？还有什么能在我们自己想要偷懒的时候狠狠地给自己一鞭子？ 最后，我想从疯狂英语的学习方法本身来说。了解的人都知道，在疯狂英语的世界里没有"I'm sorry,my english is poor",只有"i made it.""i can do a better job than you."诸如此类。这其实就是自我心理暗示。由于每天都重复这样积极的暗示，时间长了就自然转化到人的潜意识中去，排除了自身的消极想法，积极的观念自然运作，从而更能够获得成功。而且长时间用“三最”的方法进行口腔的训练，其实也就是个熟能生巧的过程，这和我们学母语的过程是一样的道理。 这么一看，疯狂英语并不神奇，也不神秘，成功＝一个梦想＋辛勤操练＋积极暗示。
