CHASING OUR DREAMS

Ladies & Gentleman, in 1957, the world's first artificial

satellite was successfully sent to orbit from the earth and it
went smoothly for 98 minutes non-stop.

You might be wondering here today why I am talking about

the satellite. The whole history of the first satellite tells us a
story of a group of scientists who has diligently made their
dreams come true.

Just imagine, if they had never dreamt of such a contraption

device, i.e. the satellite, we would never be ushered to all the
new scientific developments that we experience today.

Assalammualaikum and a very good morning/afternoon to:

- Honorable judges
- Awesome time-keepers,
- My beloved peers
- Ladies & gentlemen

My name is _____________________ and I’m from SK

Taman Kota Jaya, Kota Tinggi.
I’m standing here today to talk about a very interesting topic,
chasing our dreams.

Today, I will tell you how each and every person who is in
this world can pursue with the dream of your life.

First and foremost, someone who wants to chase his or her

dreams should be passionate about their dreams. Undying
passion and burning desire are the driving forces that lead to
success, without them, your dream, i.e. your ambition cannot
be accomplished. They energize your thoughts, in the same
way that the electric current energizes and operates machines
and appliances.

Ladies and gentlemen,

The most successful people in our world would agree with

me that the fulfillment of your dreams lies within you and
you alone. Though their roads were bumpy from time to
time, these are the factors that usher them forward, until they
achieved the success they pursued.
Moreover, people who chase their dreams should also be
those who dare to fail as failure is the mother of success.
When you dare to dream, dare to follow that dream, dare to
suffer through the pain, sacrifice, self-doubts, and friction
from the world, then you are successful. There can never be a
greater teacher than failure for those who want to pursue
their dreams.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Self-esteem must be earned to face the challenges, to face the

failures and to face the trash-talks from others to genuinely
impress yourself and eventually achieve your dreams.

The right figure whom I can quote here is Colonel Sanders.

Many of us enjoy the finger licking good meals of Kentucky
Fried Chicken today, but do you know that, the man behind
this worldwide franchise had encountered multiple failures
before making his dream accomplished. In his effort to make
KFC popular, he was rejected on many occasions and
laughed at about his funny looking attire. Howsoever,
Sanders persevered, and after a little over 1,000 visits, he
finally launched the first "Kentucky Fried Chicken" site in
1952. He was the exemplary of a figure who had turned
failures into success as he dared to fail and face them with a
great deal of perseverance.

In addition, being an optimistic person can shape up your

attitude to chase your dreams. Don’t let go of your dreams.
Sometimes, people around you may push their values down
your throat and make you feel the twinge of discouragement.
Therefore, you should cultivate optimism in order to turn
impossible to I’m possible. All dreams can come true…..if
we have the courage to pursue them.

I believe that, everyone here can bring your dreams to live.

All that you need is a dab of passion, dare to fail and
nurturing optimism in you. These three secret recipes will
ensure you in chasing your dreams.

Today, I stand here in front of you, realizing one of my

dreams to conquer this battlefield, and yes, I made it. For all
of you here, always bear in mind that ‘When you cease to
dream, you cease to live’. Thus, ladies & gentlemen, never
be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality. If
you can dream it, you can make it so. Thank you dream
chasers.
