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
[Music]
