Public speaking competition
A very good morning I bid to the honorable and fair judges, teachers and fellow friends. Hi. My name is Matthew and I am a proud student of 5 Zeta. The topic that I was given for today’s public speaking competition is “How to be a successful businessperson in the future as a student”.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Throughout my life, I have been raised to appreciate education. I have been constantly told that it is through education that I will succeed in today’s competitive world. I have been given hope that my life will change with education. Ladies and gentlemen, it is through the knowledge and wisdom that we gain from education that will enable us to differentiate what is right or wrong. It is only through education we are able to run our business effectively and efficiently
Next, in order to be a successful businessman, we must always be fair and impartial in life. We must learn to motivate the people around us so that they will give their utmost and hundred percent. As a leader in any corporation, it is important that we inspire our workers – regardless of race, religion, gender and creed so that they respect you. And through respect, people will be willing to work and go the extra mile for you.
Ladies and gentlemen,
In addition to that, we must always cherish the people around us because you’ll never know that the friend you that make today will one day help you in the future. Personally, I am very fortunate to be surrounded by great friends throughout my life. When everyone else seemed to have given up on me, it was my closest friends who stood strong and believed that there is still hope and possibility that things will turn out good out. Same goes in business and in any career field that we choose – if we face a problem, it is your closest friends who will be there for you and help you get through that dark ordeal.
Next, in order to be a successful businessman or to succeed in life in general, we have to confident, charismatic and passionate in whatever we are doing. If we are confident, people will believe in us. If we are passionate, people will be motivated by us. Same goes in business, the ability to convince a potential investor is crucial. If you are not able to sell yourself to others, people will feel doubtful about you and will never invest in your company.
Last but not least, we must always stay strong and never give up. When you are knocked down, stand up and keep going. When you face a dead end, climb to the top and keep going. When you face a financial downturn, rise and keep going. When you are on the verge of bankruptcy, persevere and keep going. When the people around you have lost hope in you, have faith and keep going.
With that ladies and gentlemen, thank you.
