Amitabh Bachchan Leaves the Audience SPEECHLESS One of the Best Motivational Speeches Ever

the child

is the dream

of its parent

a dream that the parent lives

if you want to learn how to live your

dream

just watch your parents

see how it works for them

but that’s

how it works for all of us

with caring with passion

with resolve with commitment

and with determination

that’s the easy part

the tough one comes later

the tough part is when you and your

dream

cannot be distinguished

when you become the dream

dream of not just your parents or

yourself

but a point in the journey

where you become the dream of a nation

when you become the dream of the choices

you made

when your vision echoes in millions of

resonating voices across the world

from where there is no looking back

you are the dream

there can be times when it will be

or feel impossible to perform

it may feel like a fairy tale

no one said that life is easy

but never be shaken by its adversities

a dream

a vision is not an intangible

unreal

imaginary piece of fiction

a dream has hands

it has feet

it has a body

your hands

your feet your body

the dream is you

and you are the dream

may the two always remain united in

spirit

and if that means a struggle if that

means a fight to finish

so be it it’s not about winning or

losing

it’s about living a life

if i had been a sportsman a boxer

athlete hockey player cricketer if i had

joined the army the navy and the air

force

if i had been anything else other than

an actor

my parents would still have been happy

because i was their dream

no matter what i myself was dreaming to

be gandhiji said be the change that you

wish to see in the world

if i were to add my feelings to it i’d

say

be the dream

that you wish to see in the world

a dream which is neither mind nor yours

nor anyone else’s a dream

which belongs only

to itself

what you bring to the world are the

blessings of your parents

learnings of your teachers

and your dreams they are precious

do not trade them for anything in the

world

which brings us to a curious word that

has become a part of some kind of jargon

it’s a world called career

i’m not quite sure i quite like this

word korea

career is

literally

a dash of speed

like a horse does

on a racetrack

bolting at uncontrollable speed without

an aim or an objective

life is not a race course

life is an order

a discipline

life is a focus life is a purpose

a purpose achieved by virtues which are

developed with personal effort do not

gamble on life

it may not happen twice

a dream therefore is much more than a

career

the dreams of the parents and the dreams

of the child live

in one place remember

that place is called home

not yours

not mine

not his not hers

no one persons

a home is always

ours

our home

our dream is our worship

our vision is our prayer

this is the structure of dreams this is

the bond this is also the bondage a bond

of love

the bondage of responsibility

be there of a small family

or that of a large nation

we are

because

we dare to dream

we are because we learn to excel

you know chances are very strong that i

could have been in cinema or in any

other creative aspect of life without

a grounding in education

education which is in consonance with

the belief that

what sculpture is to a block of marble

education is

to the human soul

we shouldn’t aspire towards a graduation

degree

merely because of peer

or parental pressure

we should aspire to become graduates

because we feel the need to be complete

with the advantage of formal education

remember always in life

whatever is good to know

is difficult to learn

the education of the greatest value that

i received in my school which was

sherbert college up in the hills in

nanethal

was how to be a human being

of what we call in shorthand character

and i don’t mean the ones that i play in

my films

admittedly

i had the benefit of inspirational

parentage

but sherwood taught me

to live in dignity

with my peers

live in a community

and live well with myself in the world

at large

in consequence

living together working together

learning together fighting and loving

each other

competing fairly

in noble rivalry and cooperating

supportively

i learned a sense of fellowship

so well put

in my school motto which was in latin

myriate quiz q palmam

let each one

merit their own price

let each one

merit

their own price

i’ve always believed that one must

harness the power of dignity

through training

training of the mind the body the spirit

another word for this training

is called discipline

i didn’t always like to agree with the

routine of boarding school and the rules

but afterwards i can tell you

i really appreciated the fact that had

it not been for its

initially imposed regimen

i could not have learned to harness the

power of my own dignity

for myself

the boxing ring in my school

was a compulsory activity

everybody in school had to enter the

boxing ring and fight

it’s not probably a long abolished

practice because of its barbaric

practice but to me

it was a great tutor

in this regard

you will have

any amount of support from outside the

ropes

but inside

you’re on your own

similarly in life beyond

you may have a die-hard corpse of

cheering fans

and also perhaps those that jared at you

criticize you abuse you

in contempt

but at the end of the day you must

engage life

alone

the greatest prize in life is not the

recognition of worldly success

the prize the best crowns the human

being

is that of the possession of good

character

it is a strenuous prize

it must be re-won

it is also a certainty of mind that

there is many a day

where i shall fail that prize myself

not for want of trying

but it is the most worthy prize of all

and without itself at all material

success

and fame

is sheer emptiness
