speech big

 Madam President and gentlemen, ladies of thehouse. I standing here with eight minutes in my handsin this venerable and rather magnificent institution, I was going to assure you that I belong tothe Henry VIII School of public speaking - that as Henry VIII said to his wives 'I shall notkeep you long'. But now finding myself the seventh speakerout of eight in what must already seem a rather long evening to you I rather feel like HenryVIII's the last wife. I know more or less of what expected of mebut I am not sure how to do it any differently.  Perhaps what I should do is really try andpay attention to the arguments that have advanced by the Opposition today. We had for example Sir Richard Ottaway suggesting- challenging the very idea that it could be argued that the economic situation of thecolonies was actually worsened by the experience of British colonialism. Well I stand to offer you the Indian example,Sir Richard. India share of the world economy when Britainarrived on

 Thank you so much for all the love, for allthe warm. Thank you all for accepting me. Thank you very much. Well, I always start my talk with some disclaimer. And that disclaimer is that I never claimedto be a motivational speaker. Yes, I do speak. But I feel like a storyteller. Because where ever I go I share a story with everyone. I believe in the power of words.  Many people speak before they think. But I know the value of words. Words can make you, break you, they can healyour soul, they can damage you forever. So, I always try to use positive words inmy life. Wherever I go, they call it adversity, I callit opportunity. They call it a weakness, I call it strength. They call me to disable, I call myself differentlyable. They see my disability. They see my disability. I see my ability. There are some incidents that happened inyour life. And those incidents are so strong that theychange your DNA. Those incidents and accidents are so strongthat they break you physically. They deform you

 Being here with you brings back a flood ofmemories. I remember the first time I arrived on campusas an incoming law student in the fall of 1969 wearing my bell-bottoms, driving a beatup old car with a mattress tied to the roof. I had no idea what to expect. Now to be honest, I had had some trouble makingup my mind between Yale and Harvard Law Schools. Then one day while we were still in that periodof decision making, I was invited to a cocktail party at Harvard for potentially incominglaw students where I met a famous law professor.  A friend of mine, a male law student, introducedme to this famous law professor. I mean truly, big three piece suit, watchchain, and my friend said, "Professor, this is Hillary Rodham. She's trying to decide whether to come herenext year or sign up with our closest competitor." Now the great man gave me a cool dismissivelook and said, "Well, first of all, we don't have any close competitors. And secondly, we don't need any more

 The Rock: Thank you, Oprah, for having me. Thank you, guys. Oprah: So, your father was very strict. Now, here's the thing. You've gone one on one with some fierce competitorsin the ring, right? But now you were in one of the scariest situationsany man can be in raising three daughters. The Rock: Yes. Yes, extremely scary. Oprah: And are you a strict Dad? The Rock: I am. Not super strict, but discipline is important.  But also, you know, I'll go back to my dad. My dad loved me with a small capacity in whichhe was capable of. So, I learned from that and so with my daughters,I want to be as full and as present with the love that I give them. Oprah: Present, yes. That's what we were talking about. What do you want to make sure that they getthat you didn't get? And it's so interesting when you have children,I've seen this from a lot of people who, you didn't get what you needed. You just didn't get what you needed becauseof what The Rock just said, your

 Thank you Awkwafina, for taking that beautifulbullet for all of us, and thank God I wrote my speech down. Hi! Ellen, we got to keep the best friend stuffgoing on the deal okay, because a lot of my best friends are here. Okay, I mean, you would think after 30 yearsof being in this industry, getting up here would be easy, and it's not. It's terrifying. It's not that often we're surrounded by peoplewho found their voice and are using it, and using it to hold people up and bring peopletogether and that to me is true power.  I mean, it's funny because I've never, youknow, I've never actually thought about myself as powerful. I mean, strong? Yes, but powerful, not mm-hmm. It's a distinction I've actually been thinkinga lot about lately because the word power and its counterpart, abuse of power keep comingup in light of what is happening in our country and in our industry, a rebalancing of thescales, I guess you could say. I've been thinking about my o

 Thank you, guys. Wow. Thank you. Spartans! Woo, woo, woo, woo! Wow, thank you so much, Chancellor Gilliam. It is - I’m just gonna go off-script, whatthe hell. It really is an honor and a privilege to behere at home, in Greensboro North Carolina, where I grew up. And I am honestly honored to be here at UNCGjust to celebrate the Spartan class of 2019.  It is genuinely an honor for me to even behere. Thank you so very much. Thanks to the trustees, to the administration,and, as Chancellor Gilliam said, I’m from here. I’ve never actually spoken here at the GreensboroColiseum. I was just telling Chancellor Gilliam, myfirst concert I ever went to as a kid was righthere at the Greensboro Coliseum, 1984, Prince and the Revolution. "Purple Rain." So it’s just crazy to be here. I think my dad took me to see a Ric Flairmatch, too.  So, little bit of wrestling, little bit ofrevolution. And by the way, a shout-out to my parents. My parents, Dr. DK Jeong, my mother, Mrs.Young Jeong. They w

 Interviewer: You're an actress, you're a filmproducer... but more importantly for us, a mental health advocate and a successful one,and you have done a lot. I was saying to your colleagues, the TripleL Foundation - The Live, Love and Laugh. As you know, the very definition of healthis health is a state of complete mental, physical and social well-being.  It's not merely an absence of disease of infirmity. But as you also know, mental health is themost neglected and people with mental health face severe human rights violations, stigmaand discrimination. But only that. Around 80% of them, people with mental healthconditions, do not have access to the mental health care they need. So the problem is really, really serious andfor someone like Deepika to really take on this big cause is, for WHO, such a great opportunityand for me today a great opportunity, too. People like you, like Deepika, will reallychange the tide and I hope this moment will also increase the awareness, imp
