Speech

Clearly, life is the most precious gift given to us by God and it’s up to us in which direction we would
like to take it. We can either make it or break it through our actions. So it’s a very pertinent topic to
address either in school, college, office or on a public platform. As we see these days, our youth
wasting their lives and whiling away their time recklessly, it of course has become a serious cause of
concern for us. So prepare an effective speech on life and try to influence people through your good
thoughts. If you are a student, then you can deliver a short speech on life and invite suggestion from
your peers as to what they think about life and create a healthy discussion. If you are a public face,
then long speech on life can be prepared to address the people.

Today, let’s make this class a little more special by not discussing your syllabus or exams, but discussing a
profound topic which everyone can relate with, i.e. Life. Do you know what life is? How would you define
life?

Students, we should all thank God every single day for giving us this life and another day to work towards our
goals. We are all unique individuals and no one is born like you and no one will ever be, so cherish your
individuality. Many times, I come across people blaming God for things that they don’t have and cursing their
lives, but little do they realize that this life itself is precious if we make it worth living and work hard.

Life itself is an opportunity to live a meaningful life and enable others to do so. It, therefore, doesn’t matter for
how many years you live all that matters is a quality of life and how well you live your life. Plus, how many
lives you have been able to touch by giving them encouragement and love.

On the second thought, the fear of death always hovers over our lives. Everyone has to face death sooner or
later, but that doesn’t mean that it should deter us from living life to the fullest or achieving our goals. A
person is wise only when he/she is prepared to meet the doom when it comes, but till that time enjoys every bit
of it. It is a sense of preparedness. It is a journey in everyone’s life wherein we have to traverse the bridge of
death to be able to wake up to a life eternal.

And believe it or not, but the secret of life is best known to those who are not attached to anything profoundly
so much so that they remain out of touch with worries as well as shifting fortunes of life. These are the people
who do not measure their lives in terms of materialistic possessions, but by measuring their lives in terms of
people they cannot live without.

Life is also about stewardship, it is being given to us by God in the form of trust that we will make it
meaningful in whatever we can. Such a thought at the back of our mind will always remind us that we are
answerable to God every time, for opportunities, treasure and talent he has gifted us with.

This is attuned with the words of Jesus, who said, “Man is destined to die once, and after that to face
judgment.” The other truth is that wrong things taking place in this world will be made right and that God will
take care of his children and good deeds will certainly be rewarded.
It is this thinking that makes life worthwhile and it is with the love of our family and friends that life can be
made beautiful. Life is also made more beautiful and purposeful by discharging our duties in our family, at
work, society and the world at large.

Thank You!

Hello Friends – Warm Greetings of the Day!!

Today, I am here to address the topic called ‘Life’. Life is like a roller coaster ride and is never the same. It has
its share of ups and downs, but everyone strives to remain happy and wishes to lead a perfect life. Some people
aspire for an attractive job, some for a flourishing business, some for a healthy life, and the list just goes on.
We want to build our family in the best way possible and want to make such friends who can stand by us
through thick and thin.

We want to have all the material possessions that life offers us and wish all our problems to simply disappear.
So everyone wishes for a great life which could be at different levels. For instance, one person may define life
in a way with which other person cannot relate and for him/her it can be just having 3 course meals in a day
and having a roof over his/her head. For some other person, it could be having a big house or may be a huge
bank balance in their banks.
But in the present times, priorities are changing and so are people’s requirements. With high-paid jobs and
increasing materialistic desires, the level of stress is also increasing. So with an increasing level of stress,
people are facing severe medical conditions and are finding themselves unable to cope with the challenges that
life throws on them. As a result of which, suicide rate and cases of early deaths are increasing. So having a
stress-free life is what one wishes for. This is the basic human desire.

If one has to put up with constant struggle and show resistance, it results in the crippling of their souls and
makes such people detached from life. They become drained of energy and to them it feels as if they are
running a constant marathon. Life then becomes too hard to handle. But it’s our perception that shapes reality
and our lives as well. Life certainly throws challenges and hurdles, but those who have sheer will power
emerge triumphant and never give up no matter how hard the circumstances may become.

Life is definitely not a cake walk and it’s indeed very normal to get discouraged and broken. But it is important
to rise against all odds and continue doing your best because it is certain that giving up is not the solution and
constant endeavors definitely take you somewhere and of course closer to your dreams.

The only mantra for a successful life is to have faith in your own self and never bow down to the testing
situations. Only that person will reap the fruit of the labor, who will put all his/her might in pursuing his/her
dreams. So embrace your situation happily and find your way in the chaos. If life is difficult then also prove
that so are you and success will then definitely touch your feet.

This is all I have to say, thank you everyone!

Good Morning one and all!

I warmly welcome everyone to this yet another session on Yoga and Meditation. But before our yoga guru
begins with his session, I – Kamalkant Sharma – your host for today would like to deliver a succinct speech on
Life. Since yoga is very much associated with life and helps in improving upon its quality, it is also important
to talk about its different facets and how it can be made better by adopting some healthy measures.
However, if I talk about life, I would say that it’s difficult to define it in a few words. But I would like to share
an important axiom, i.e. “Life is a journey and not a destination”. This journey is full of adventure and is never
the same all the time. It’s a fascinating mixture of good times and bad times, achievements and
disappointments, happiness and sorrow, luxury and struggle, opportunities and frustrations and a lot more. The
road of this journey is bumpy and rough to give you a really difficult time and take you by the storm. But
people react to such situation differently as some give up, some stumble and fall badly but rise again to win in
the end. Thus, life is really about those people who are truly fighters and want to make their way by any
means. With this attitude and constant striving, such people become immortal and their stories of bravery
become a source of inspiration for others.

On the other hand, life would become very monotonous and dull if you would experience same emotion and
there are no challenges to face. Time-tested situation and challenges only help a person to become a better and
refined individual because if there would be no difficult situation in life we will not be able to realize our
potential and inner strength. So take life as a game, make mistakes and then learn from your mistakes.
Perfection lies in imperfection and we all attain our goals by making mistakes. You must struggle to achieve
what you want to achieve – whether it’s a good job, big mansion or a huge bank balance – however, don’t do it
at the expense of others and by snatching other’s possessions which rightfully belong to them.

Remember that there will be a pain of loss, failures and loneliness but peace shall ensue in the end as it is often
said, “There is rainbow after the rain”. Failing every time doesn’t mean that you are a loser ad cannot really
achieve anything it could even be that the time is not favoring you. So grab every single opportunity you find
in your way and leave no room for regrets and sweat to labor. Life is like a kaleidoscopic picture with
multifarious options. You would also discover your world ultimately just keep chasing your dreams and work
relentlessly without giving up. There will be times when you will turn completely blank, but remember there is
a world out there which is shining bright and beautiful for you.

Standing still is never an option and it will never be!

Thank You!

Good Morning Friends – How you all are doing?
I warmly welcome you all to today’s speech ceremony and the topic chosen by our committee is ‘Life’.
Chances are many of us must have asked this question to ourselves every now and then. The question is eternal
and something which we have all been trying to make sense of in this big and bizarre world. And, the question
is ‘What is the actual meaning of life?’

No matter which background we hail from, what position we hold and how many zeroes we have to add in our
paychecks, etc. for me the true meaning of life is summed up in the word called Service. As Dalai Lama in the
following lines revealed to his followers the true meaning or purpose of life: “We are visitors on this planet.
We are here for ninety or one hundred years at the very most. During that period, we must try to do something
good, something useful with our lives. If you contribute to other people’s happiness, you’ll find the true goal,
the true meaning of life.”

This is a philosophy worth taking an inspiration from as immense satisfaction is achieved after helping the
poor and needy. A life, lived for only selfish reasons, is not a life in the true sense of the term. The real joy is
found at the service of God and humanity, rest is all illusory. However, having said that I would still like to say
that it is important to do your Karma and discharge your roles and responsibilities well. It is good to earn hefty
packages, have a great social standing and to have materialistic desires too because these are the things that
drive a person to work hard and achieve goals.
It’s just that one should know how to strike a balance between your personal desires and acts of philanthropy.
Of course, you are not expected to give away your fortune to the needy people, but it is at least expected that
we develop a feeling of empathy and compassion towards others. This world should not be constantly taken as
a battlefield and life as a battle in itself rather we should live in harmony and spread the message of love and
peace everywhere only then will this planet become a safe haven to live in. Even until this time, you aren’t
able to make sense of your life or find a true meaning of life; then you can retreat, contemplate/meditate and
look within yourself. Repeat this exercise and you will surely be able to find peace and direction in life.

Assess your own situation carefully and try to find out what gives you happiness in life and take steps towards
it. If there’s anything that depresses your soul you should try to cut it off from your life. Find your passion and
work towards it for we live only once. With this, I would like to end my speech.

Thank you everyone for listening to me patiently!
