Persuasive Speech On Life

To change the world is an impossible goal, but to change the world around you is something anyone can do, ultimately leading to a ripple and changing the world further. My involvements in my community, family and job have taught me how to be an asset to society, making a difference in other’s lives.

Power is the ability to control people in their actions. It gives you leverage over others. Power is like a drug, the more we have the more we want. Power makes people think their unstoppable. Our history proves how power corrupts people.

I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.

On the contrary, one might argue that an individual cannot have such a great effect on the human condition. Although this may seem reasonable, anyone can have an impact on humanity. Mahatma Gandhi encouraged individuals to “be the change you seek.” With that of mentality, anyone and everyone can change the world if they question, find a need for change, and become that change. One’s example can go a long way and have a huge impact.

The significance of this quote is that it explains that nobody controls your life. You are meant to live life instead of being told on how to live life

Can one change the world? It only takes one, who will it be? It's difficult to understand the world and comprehend how many people inhabit it. Possibly changing the world, sounds crazy. Everyone has the ability too, but no one believes in themselves enough. Everyone is guilty of belittling themselves, comparing themselves to others. Which overall lowers one's confidence and creates the perception of a fixed mindset. Although the world isn't the intimating and untouchable place, it's perceived to be. In reality, the universe is a blank canvas filled with unique and mesmerizing people. The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell looks at several social epidemics and analyzes the build-up to when everything tips. “Tipping” is the point where an epidemic blooms or grows, to its greatest potential. Gladwell

Most of us don’t appreciate what we have and despise those who have what we can’t afford. Growing up, my parents rarely denied me new toys, but subconsciously, I knew I should not ask for unnecessary items. Up to this day, I don’t remember a time when I bought something without asking myself multiple times, “How much do I really need this?” This is because my family has never been in a financial position in which we could afford anything and everything we wanted. Just like Mark Twain said, “I am opposed to millionaires, but it would be dangerous to offer me that position,” I personally would not be able to handle the responsibility which comes with having money at easy disposal because of how I was raised.

Whether you believe it or not, what you do has the power to affect change. Take Christopher Columbus for example even though no one had done it before and no one really believed in him he didn’t give up, and without him America may have never became what we know it as today.

He tries to, “…beat on, [like a] boat against the current, borne

The “TED Radio Hour” show discusses if there is a secret to achieving happiness but, most of the featured speakers agree on a simile to describe happiness. The secret to happiness is like the secret of dieting; there is no true secret. The speakers from the radio show talked about is that wealthiness may only bring temporary happiness, or happiness without meaning, which goes hand in hand with a point from Laozi who states, “If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.” (verse 75). This statement alludes to the thought that wealth doesn’t automatically bring happiness and you can only “be rich” from life experiences. This idea of “being rich,” is similar to Graham Hill’s factoring wealth into happiness because he gained 30 million dollars in his late 20’s, so he bought many items. He bought things he may have thought were necessities at the time like a big house, nice cars, and gadgets. He then noticed he wasn’t

Hello everybody. I'm going to show you some pictures and I want you to think about the first emotion that comes to mind. Now I'm sure these pictures made you feel sad, negative, depressed, pity,and a lot of other negative emotions. Now i'm going to show you another set of pictures and I want you to do same thing as you did with the last pictures. These pictures have been voted on and determined that these are the happiest pictures on the internet. Why you may ask? Because genetically we are all wired to like cute things such as babies or cute animals. We can use this genetic wiring to our advantage, just looking at these pictures improves your efficiency, your short-term happiness, and caught your attention better than just looking at a picture of a carrot or say one of zak’s many selfies. (Martinez-Conde). Now that i've got you attention I want you to raise your hand if you ever been taught what causes happiness, the benefits being happy has, or how to become happier.. The fact that *if everyone raises their hand pivot to something else* almost no one in this room has been taught these things is insane to me. This is telling of the ideas that we have as a society concerning happiness. What I'm trying to say is that as a culture we need to redefine happiness as something that needs to be constantly worked towards and is not something easily attainable. I'm going to start off with with talking about the problem we have with happiness. Next we're going to talk about what effects are caused by being unhappy and finally we're going to talk about ways you can become happier.

It’s the best way to live, in fact… it’s the only way to truly live! It’s the key to mastering personal development and it can have a dramatic impact on your life. Have you been wondering about the benefits?

​ Without a doubt, those who are “rich” and those that are “poor,” in terms of material possession, share a similarity: the desire to be rich or richer.  No one really wants to be “poor.”  Those who are rich are rich through inheritance or have mastered the know-how to become rich. Such as Prince Williams, who obtained his wealth from his mother and father, Princess Diana and Prince Charles of Whales.

I found out that actions have consequences, and not everything is under my control. Until I found out that I couldn't change the world at all, but a seemingly extra-ordinary movie, and a twelve-year-old boy could change the world completely — for the better, and forever—working with nothing but his own altruism, one good idea, and a couple of years, and a big sacrifice.
