Narendra Modi – 2014 – Independence Day Speech

 Excerpts:

In order to fulfill the aspirations of the masses, we have to sharpen the tool called “government machinery”, we have to make it keen and it is in this direction that we are working.

Brothers and sisters, development and good governance are the only two tracks to take the country forward. Imagine of 125 crore countrymen move one step forward, then the country moves 125 crore steps forward.

Tourism provides employment to the poorest of the poor. But there is a big obstacle in promoting tourism and in our national character, and that is – the filthiness all around us.

Narendra Modi – 2014 – Speech at FICCI

 Excerpts:

t takes one positive result to reverse the direction of the flow of faith in the nation.

I say, we have demographic division and I believe, that 21st century is the century for Asia with India and China leading. India has two powers of which one is its demographic division and the other being division of democracy.

My best wishes to you that you come to such a land in whose blood there is money, entrepreneurship, courage and power. You also take some of that power and come forward to change the destiny of the country.

Azim Premji –Lifetime Achievement Award (2013)

 Excerpts:

I share some thoughts on Philanthropy on this occasion. First, involving your family early on in Philanthropy is very important. Their understanding, endorsement, and involvement may eventually be the most determining factor. Second, the key to scaling up Philanthropy and doing good work is getting good people in the team. Third, philanthropic work needs patience, tenacity, and empathy.

We must do Philanthropy because it is the Right thing to do.

I also believe that every one of us has the basic empathy with the people around us; we just need to let it find expression.

Shahrukh Khan :Courage in Success(2013)

Excerpts: 

Being successful does not mean my children will also be so, however much I teach them what all did in my life, and they follow it to the letter. Success just happens, really.

Poverty entails fear and stress and sometimes, depression. It wasn’t out of any creative desire that I signed my films – it was just purely out of the fear of failure and poverty.

Success is never final, just like failure is never fatal. Courage is ill-defined if you think it means doing something macho, risky or chancy. If that happens at somebody else’s cost, it’s even less courageous. Courage is doing whatever you are afraid to do – personally scared to do – in whichever capacity you work. There can be no courage unless you are scared. So be scared to feel courage, be fearful.

Abhinav Bindra – 2013 – GoSPorts Foundation Conclave

 Excerpts:

So how does a boy who is neither talented nor athletic become both World and Olympic champion? The answer is a four-letter word; in fact, it is two four-letter words: HARD WORK.

I was tenacious. I hung on despite disappointments.

I was stubborn as a mule. I refused to give up.

I believed in myself. And when my belief in myself faltered, I had the sense to listen to my team – my family and coaches – who believed in me for me.

When people ask me what helped me win gold, this is what I say to them. “I slogged my guts out – I did it without compromise, when there was no one to see, no one to be impressed. I did it when I did not feel like it. And the reason I did it is: my desire to win was, and is, much greater, than my desire to make excuses or find reasons not to win.

Vishwanathan Anand – Speech at NIIT, Chennai(2007)

 Excerps:

Soon after winning the most exalted title a sportsperson can aspire to, World Champion, came the vacuum. What was the next big thing?

It is extremely difficult to change a wiining formula, but one has to experiment even when you succeed. Defeat gives you the courage to experiment. Success can never motivate you the same way.
