CHASING OUR DREAMS

Very good morning to the honourable judges and the awesome time-keepers. Ladies & Gentleman, in
1957, the world's first artificial satellite was successfully sent to earth's orbit and it went smoothly for 98
minutes non-stop. You might be wondering here today why I am talking about the satellite. The whole
history of the first satellite tells us a story of a group of scientists who have diligently made their dreams
come true. Just imagine, if they had never dreamt of such a contraption device, e.g. the satellite, we
would never be ushered to all the new scientific developments that we experience today. Today, on this
fine day, I’m standing here to talk about a very interesting topic, “chasing our dreams.” Today, I will tell
you how every person who is in this world can pursue the dream of their life.

First and foremost, someone who wants to chase his or her dreams should be passionate about
their dreams. Undying passion and a burning desire are the driving forces that lead to success, without
them, your dream, i.e. your ambition cannot be accomplished. They energize your thoughts, in the same
way that the electric current energizes and operates machines and appliances. Moreover, if you focus the
energy of ambition and desire into your dream, you will make your goal possible and within reach. Look at
people who have achieved success. They did not attain their success just by thinking about it in a
lukewarm manner they were moved by passion and desire.

Ladies and gentlemen,

The most successful people in our world would agree with me that the fulfilment of your dreams lies within
you and you alone. Though their roads were bumpy from time to time, these are the factors that usher
them forward, until they achieved the success they pursued. As an example, I believe most of us still
remember these two passionate brothers who chased their dreams and achieved them, the Wright
brothers. If it was not of their ludicrous dreams to fly a plane, none of us would today be able to sit in
Boeing 777. It is their passion that has materialised their dreams. Moreover, people who chase their
dreams should also be those who dare to fail as failure is the mother of success. When you dare to
dream, dare to follow that dream, dare to suffer through the pain, sacrifice, self-doubts, and friction from
the world, then you are successful. There can never be a greater teacher than failure for those who want
to pursue their dreams. A famous American philosopher, Elbert Hubbard once said that "A little more
persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn into glorious success."

Mesdames et messieurs,

This means self-esteem must be earned to face the challenges, to face the failures and to face the trash-
talks from others to genuinely impress yourself and eventually achieve your dreams. The right figure
whom I can quote here is Colonel Sanders. Many of us enjoy the finger-licking good meals of Kentucky
Fried Chicken today, but do you know that the man behind this worldwide franchise had encountered
multiple failures before making his dream accomplished. In his effort to make KFC popular, he was
rejected on many occasions and laughed at about his funny looking attire. Howsoever, Sanders
persevered, and after a little over 1,000 visits, he finally launched the first "Kentucky Fried Chicken" site in
1952. He was the example of a figure who had turned failures into success as he dared to fail and face
them with a great deal of perseverance.

Also, being an optimistic person can shape up your attitude to chase your dreams. Don’t let go of your
dreams. If you have determination and belief in your dreams, you will succeed despite your desire to let
go. Sometimes, people around you may push their values down your throat and make you feel the twinge
of discouragement. Now, here is the very point where you must say to yourself that the only thing that will
stop you from fulfilling your dreams is you. Therefore, you should cultivate optimism to turn impossible to
I’m possible. All dreams can come true…..if we dare to pursue them. Just look at Stephen Hawking, how
he has proved to the world that being optimistic can even defeat fate. From a physically challenged
person, he has obtained great wisdom of knowledge. He has shown us that optimism can help him or
anybody like him to chase their dreams.
In a nutshell, when our scientists can send a device in a size of a basketball to the orbit and they can
materialize their dreams, I believe that everyone here can bring your dreams to life. All that you need is a
dab of passion, dare to fail and nurturing optimism in you. These three secret recipes will not only ensure
you in chasing your dreams but also make them come true for a man’s dreams are an index to his
greatness. Today, I stand here in front of you, realizing one of my dreams to conquer this battlefield, and
yes, I made it. For all of you here, always bear in mind that ‘When you cease to dream, you cease to live’.
Thus, ladies & gentlemen, never are afraid of the space between your dreams and reality. If you can
dream it, you can make it so.

Thank you dream chasers.
