Title: Embracing Failure: The Key to Success

Ladies and gentlemen,

Today, I stand before you to share my thoughts on a topic that is often overlooked in our society - failure. We live in a world that idolizes success and shuns failure, but I believe that it is through failure that we truly grow and achieve greatness.

Throughout history, many renowned figures have faced numerous failures before achieving their goals. Take Thomas Edison, for example. He famously said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work" when talking about his attempts to invent the light bulb. Edison's persistence and ability to learn from his failures eventually led to one of the greatest inventions of all time.

Similarly, J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, faced rejection after rejection from publishers before finally finding success. She once said, "Failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was and began to direct all my energy to finish the only work that mattered to me." It was through her failures that Rowling discovered her true passion and became one of the most beloved authors of our time.

Failure teaches us valuable lessons that success cannot. It builds resilience, character, and determination. When we fail, we are forced to reevaluate our approach, learn from our mistakes, and try again. It is in these moments of failure that we discover our true strengths and capabilities.

Moreover, failure also allows us to empathize with others who are going through similar challenges. When we see successful individuals who have overcome failures, we are inspired and motivated to persevere through our own setbacks. Failure connects us in a way that success cannot, as it reminds us that we are all human and that no one is immune to failure.

So, let us embrace failure as a stepping stone to success. Let us not be afraid of making mistakes, but rather see them as opportunities for growth. Remember, every failure brings us one step closer to achieving our dreams.

In conclusion, failure is not something to be feared or avoided, but rather embraced and learned from. It is through failure that we gain the necessary skills and mindset to succeed. As we navigate through life, let us remember the words of Winston Churchill, who said, "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." Embrace failure, learn from it, and let it be the key to your success.

Thank you.

Title: The Power of Perseverance

Ladies and gentlemen,

Today, I want to talk to you about a quality that is often overlooked but essential for success - perseverance. The road to achieving our dreams is rarely smooth, and it is through perseverance that we can overcome obstacles and reach our goals.

Throughout history, many great individuals have demonstrated the power of perseverance. Take the example of Nelson Mandela, who spent 27 years in prison fighting against apartheid in South Africa. Despite the hardships he faced, Mandela never gave up on his vision of a free and equal society. His unwavering determination and perseverance eventually led to the dismantling of apartheid and his election as the first black President of South Africa.

Another inspiring figure is Oprah Winfrey. She faced numerous challenges and setbacks throughout her career, including a difficult childhood and being told she was unfit for television. However, through her perseverance and relentless pursuit of her goals, Winfrey became one of the most successful and influential media personalities in the world.

Perseverance is not just about overcoming external obstacles; it is also about overcoming our own self-doubt and fear of failure. It is about pushing through when we feel like giving up and finding the strength to keep going. Perseverance is what separates those who achieve their dreams from those who never even try.

In a world that often values instant gratification and quick results, it is important to remember that success takes time and effort. It is not always easy, and there will be times when we face setbacks and failures. However, it is in these moments that our perseverance is tested and our character is forged.

So, how can we cultivate perseverance in our own lives?

Firstly, we must have a clear vision of our goals. When we have a strong sense of purpose and a clear understanding of what we want to achieve, we are more likely to persevere through challenges.

Secondly, we must develop a growth mindset. Instead of viewing obstacles as roadblocks, we should see them as opportunities for learning and growth. By reframing our perspective, we can approach challenges with a positive and resilient mindset.

Lastly, we must surround ourselves with a supportive network. Having a support system of friends, family, and mentors who believe in us and our abilities can make all the difference when facing adversity. They can provide encouragement, guidance, and help us stay focused on our goals.

In conclusion, perseverance is the key to achieving our dreams. It is the ability to keep going when faced with challenges and setbacks. Let us remember the words of Calvin Coolidge, who said, "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." Persevere, believe in yourself, and never give up on your dreams.

Thank you.

Tribute to Diana

  Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty. All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity. All over the world, a standard bearer for the right of the truly downtrodden, a very British girl who transcend nationality, someone with a natural nobility who was classless.

  This is the text of Earl Spencer's tribute to his sister at her funeral. There is some very deep, powerful and heartfelt sentiment. Would that those at whom it is aimed would take heed. The versions posted on several news services had minor errors. This is precisely as it was deliverd.

  I stand before you today the representative of a family in grief, in a country in mourning before a world in shock.

  We are all united not only in our desire to pay our respects to Diana but rather in our need to do so.

  For such was her extraordinary appeal that the tens of millions of people taking part in this service all over the world via television and radio who never actually met her, feel that they, too, lost someone close to them in the early hours of Sunday morning. It is a more remarkable tribute to Diana than I can ever hope to offer her today.

  Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty. All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity, a standard-bearer for the rights of the truly downtrodden, a very British girl who transcended nationality, someone with a natural nobility who was classless, who proved in the last year that she needed no royal title to continue to generate her particular brand of magic.

  Today is our chance to say "thank you" for the way you brightened our lives, even though God granted you but half a life. We will all feel cheated, always, that you were taken from us so young and yet we must learn to be grateful that you came along at all.

  Only now you are gone do we truly appreciate what we are now without and we want you to know that life without you is very, very difficult.

  We have all despaired at our loss over the past week and only the strength of the message you gave us through your years of giving has afforded us the strength to move forward.

  There is a temptation to rush to canonize your memory. There is no need to do so. You stand tall enough as a human being of unique qualities not to need to be seen as a saint. Indeed to sanctify your memory would be to miss out on the very core of your being, your wonderfully mischievous sense of humor with the laugh that bent you double, your joy for life transmitted wherever you took your smile, and the sparkle in those unforgettable eyes, your boundless energy which you could barely contain.

  But your greatest gift was your intuition, and it was a gift you used wisely. This is what underpinned all your wonderful attributes. And if we look to analyze what it was about you that had such a wide appeal, we find it in your instinctive feel for what was really important in all our lives.

  Without your God-given sensitivity, we would be immersed in greater ignorance at the anguish of AIDS and HIV sufferers, the plight of the homeless, the isolation of lepers, the random destruction of land mines. Diana explained to me once that it was her innermost feelings of suffering that made it possible for her to connect with her constituency of the rejected.

  And here we come to another truth about her. For all the status, the glamour, the applause, Diana remained throughout a very insecure person at heart, almost childlike in her desire to do good for others so she could release herself from deep feelings of unworthiness of which her eating disorders were merely a symptom.

  The world sensed this part of her character and cherished her for her vulnerability, whilst admiring her for her honesty. The last time I saw Diana was on July the first, her birthday, in London, when typically she was not taking time to celebrate her special day with friends but was guest of honor at a fund-raising charity evening.

  She sparkled of course, but I would rather cherish the days I spent with her in March when she came to visit me and my children in our home in South Africa. I am proud of the fact that apart from when she was on public display meeting President Mandela, we managed to contrive to stop the ever-present paparazzi from getting a single picture of her.

  That meant a lot to her.

  These were days I will always treasure. It was as if we'd been transported back to our childhood, when we spent such an enormous amount of time together, the two youngest in the family.

  Fundamentally she hadn't changed at all from the big sister who mothered me as a baby, fought with me at school and endured those long train journeys between our parents' homes with me at weekends. It is a tribute to her level-headedness and strength that despite the most bizarre life imaginable after her childhood, she remained intact, true to herself.

  There is no doubt that she was looking for a new direction in her life at this time. She talked endlessly of getting away from England, mainly because of the treatment she received at the hands of the newspapers.

  I don't think she ever understood why her genuinely good intentions were sneered at by the media, why there appeared to be a permanent quest on their behalf to bring her down. It is baffling. My own, and only, explanation is that genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum.

  It is a point to remember that of all the ironies about Diana, perhaps the greatest was this; that a girl given the name of the ancient goddess of hunting was, in the end, the most hunted person of the modern age.

  She would want us today to pledge ourselves to protecting her beloved boys William and Harry from a similar fate. And I do this here, Diana, on your behalf. We will not allow them to suffer the anguish that used regularly to drive you to tearful despair.

  Beyond that, on behalf of your mother and sisters, I pledge that we, your blood family, will do all we can to continue the imaginative and loving way in which you were steering these two exceptional young men, so that their souls are not simply immersed by duty and tradition but can sing openly as you planned.

  We fully respect the heritage into which they have both been born, and will always respect and encourage them in their royal role. But we, like you, recognize the need for them to experience as many different aspects of life as possible, to arm them spiritually and emotionally for the years ahead. I know you would have expected nothing less from us.

  William and Harry, we all care desperately for you today. We are all chewed up with sadness at the loss of a woman who wasn't even our mother. How great your suffering is we cannot even imagine.

  I would like to end by thanking God for the small mercies he has shown us at this dreadful time; for taking Diana at her most beautiful and radiant and when she had joy in her p

rivate life.

  Above all, we give thanks for the life of a woman I am so proud to be able to call my sister: the unique the complex, the extraordinary and irreplaceable Diana, whose beauty, both internal and external, will never be extinguished from our minds.

Youth will press

  Saying goodbye to childhood,we step into another important time in the pace of young,facing new situations,dealing with different problems……

  everyone has his ownunderstanding of young,it is a period of time of beauty and wonders,only after you have experienced the sour ,sweet ,bitter and salty can you really become a person of significance.

  thre time of young is limitted,it may pass by without your attention,and when you discover what has happened ,it is always too late.grasping the young well means a better time is waiting for you in the near future,or the situation may be opposite .

  having a view on these great men in the history of hunmanbeing,they all made full use of their youth time ,to do things that are useful to society,to the whole mankind,and as a cosquence ,they are remembered by later generations,admired by everyone.so do something in the time of young,although you may not get achievements as these greatmen did ,though not for the whole word,just for youeself,for those around!

  the young is just like blooming flowers,they are so beautiful when blooming,they make people feel happy,but with time passing by,after they withers ,moet people think they are ugly.

  and so it is the same with young,we are enthusiastic when we are young,then we may lose our passion when getting older and older.

  so we must treasure it ,don't let the limitted time pass by ,leaving nothing of significance.

I Am Prepared to Die for an Idea.

  My friends, comrades, and fellow South Africans: I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy, and freedom for all. I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people. Your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it possible for me to be here today. I therefore have placed the remaining years of my life in your , I extend my sincere and warmest gratitude to the millions of my compatriots and those in every corner of the globe who have campaigned tirelessly for my release. I extend special greetings to the people of Cape Town the city through which — which has been my home for three decades.

  I salute the rank?and?file members of the ANC: You have sacrificed life and limb in the pursuit of the noble cause of our , like Solomon Mahlangu and Ashley Kriel, who have paid the ultimate price for the freedom of all South Africans. I salute the South African Communist Party for its sterling contribution to the struggle for democracy. You have survived 40 years of unrelenting persecution.

  The memory of great communists like Moses Kotane, Yusuf Dadoo, Bram Fischer, and Moses Mabhida will be cherished for generations to come. I salute General Secretary Joe Slovo, one of our finest patriots. We are heartened by the fact that the alliance between ourselves and the Party remains as strong as it — it always , the National Education Crisis Committee, the South African Youth Congress, the Transvaal and Natal Indian Congresses, and COSATU and the many other formations of the Mass Democratic Movement. I also salute the Black Sash and the National Union of South African Students.

  We note with pride that you have looked — that you have acted as the conscience of white South Africa. Even during the darkest days in the history of our struggle you held the flag of liberty high. The large?scale mass mobilization of the past few years is one of the key factors which led to the opening of the final chapter of our — Your organized strength is the pride of our movement. You remain the most dependable force in the struggle to end exploitation and oppression.

  I greet the traditional leaders of our country — many among you continue to walk in the footsteps of great heroes like Hintsa and , you, the young lions. You, the young lions, have energized our entire struggle. I pay tribute to the mothers and wives and sisters of our nation. Without your support our struggle would not have reached this advanced stage. The sacrifice of the frontline states will be remembered by South Africans , black and white, recognize that apartheid has no future. It has to be ended by our own decisive mass action in order to build peace and security.

  The mass campaigns of defiance and other actions of our organizations and people can onlyculminate in the establishment of continent is in calculable. The fabric of family life of millions of my people has been shattered. Millions are homeless and unemployed. Our economy — Our economy lies in ruins and our people are embroiled in political strife. Our resort to the armed struggle in 19xx with the formation of the military wing of the ANC, Umkhonto we Sizwe, was a purely defensive action against the violence of apartheid. The factors which necessitated the armed struggle still exist today. We have no option but to continue. We express the hope that a climate conducive to a negotiated settlement will be created soon so that there may no longer be the need for the armed , strategies, and , I feel duty?bound to make the point that a leader of the movement is a person who has been democratically elected at a national conference.

  This is a principle which must be upheld without any , I wish to report to you that my talks with the government have been aimed at normalizing the political situation in the country. We have not as yet begun discussing the basic demands of the struggle. I wish to stress that I myself have at no time entered into negotiations about the future of our country except to insist on a meeting between the ANC and the has gone further than any other Nationalist President in taking real steps to normalize the situation. However, there are further steps, as outlined in the Harare Declaration, that have to be met before negotiations on the basic demands of our people can begin.

  Negotiations cannot take place — Negotiations cannot take place above the heads or behind the backs of our people. It is our belief that the future of our country can only be determined by a body which is democratically elected on a non?racial basis. Negotiations on the dismantling of apartheid will have to address the overwhelming demands of our people for a democratic, non?racial and unitary South Africa. And this reality is that we are still suffering under the policies of the Nationalist , so that the process towards democracy is rapid and uninterrupted. We have waited too long for our freedom. We can no longer wait.

  Now is the time to intensify the struggle on all fronts. To relax our efforts now would be a mistake which generations to come will not be able to role in a united democratic and non?racial South Africa is the only way to peace and racial harmony. In conclusion, I wish to quote my own words during my trial in 19xx. They are as true today as they were then. I spoke: I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and — and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.
