Speech on 'Courtesy Is 'The Light Of Life.'

Courtesy is the light of life .

 A  very good morning to one and the  all.

Honourable  chairperson, respected  principal , respected teachers  and my dear friends.Today, our college has organised the elocution competition and topic of the speech is  'Courtesy is the light of life.'       

Do you know the  word courtesy? What does it mean? Yes, courtesy means  good manners and polite behaviour. It has a great importance in our daily life.A kind word is very little but it has  great impact in our life and sometimes the kind words such as please, thank you, sorry give us a better reward.Courtesy satisfies ourselves and gives pleasure to others.
    Can you tell the origin of this word (courtesy)? The word courtesy comes from old French which described the rules that the Nobels had to follow when they gathered in the  court(Diwan) especially in the presence of king.
       Courtesy isn't about knowing when to say 'please' and 'thank you'.These little words can easily be bandied(passed on) without  having much meanings.Kindness  enhances  our personality as well as affects your our character.And the most important thing is the character of a person. It is said that  if you lost your wealth , nothing is lost.If  you lost your health ,something is lost.But if you lost your character, everything is lost. Thus, character plays a very important role in our life.And our behaviour reflects our character.
     Why is courtesy the light of life? Because it throws the light on our personality.Our conduct is also one of the parts of our personality. If you are kind and your behaviour is polite, the people have a good impression of you. People like you because of your courtesy. Courtesy is expressed by us through  our words and deeds.We should use these golden words such as  excuse me, please,sorry,thank you, welcome etc. while talking  to others.We  should express our courtesy through our behaviour and conduct .e.g  respect of elders, love of youngers, taking care of neighbours,help the friends, class fellows, parents,sibilings and the poor and needy  whom we come across etc.
 Well, a good mannered person is  always acknowledged,appreciated and respected by people . Friends, courtesy is a profitable thing because when you show kind behaviour to others as a result ,others also respect you.The cult(system of religious    beliefs )of courtesy is governed by  the principle, 'give and take'   e.g if someone offers you a cup of tea or coffee,before you accept it you should say 'thank you.'If we respect others,they will also respect us.This is the 'give and take' principle.
     Courtesy also makes you happy and contented with life.If you help someone,it gives you joy of satisfaction because that person will be grateful to you forever .He will appreciate you  and  an  appreciation gives you joy. If you have courtesy,you will be happier and contented with life.
      Courtesy  costs nothing but pays a huge dividend is an apt maxim.A rude ,ill- mannnered  person is disliked by everyone.On the other hand  polite and good-mannered person is liked ,loved by everyone.The great essayist Francis Bacon says," A man without a sense of courtesy is an animal with human form." So as a human being we should follow the principles of courtesy because courtesy is the light of life.
 I hope you will follow  the principles of courtesy.
 Thank you.

Speech on 'Maharashtra Day'

Exuberant good morning to one and all.
Honourable chairperson,my colleagues and my dear students,today we have gathered here to celebrate Maharashtra Day. This day is commemorated the formation of the state of Maharashtra from the division of Bombay on 1st May 1960.
  Before the formation of the ustate ofMaharashtra,our state(,the state of Bombay) was then bilingual means Gujarati and Marathi,these two languages were spoken.Mr.Morarji Desai was then the Chief Minister of Bombay state who was against the formation of separate Marathi speaking state means Maharashtra state including Bombay.In the mid of 1950s, Sanyukta

Maharashtra Samiti  was formed and the regional movement known as   Sanyukta Maharashtra Andolan started agitation, demanding the seperate Marathi speaking state  including Bombay city on 6th Feb 1956.Similarly  in1956,the Mahagujrat movement started agitation for the creation of seperate Gujarat speaking  state Gujrat out of Bombay state.The movement of Sanyukta Maharashtra Samiti became aggressive under the leaderships of Shankarrao Deo,Cromade Shripad Dange and so on.All workers, schools, colleges ,banks and offices participated in the strike.There were curfew orders everywhere.During that period,10,000 satyagrahis were arrested and 106 people died in police firing  in various places of Maharashtra.106 people became martyrs  in the movement.
  At last the sacrifice of those people didn't go in vain.The president Dr.Rajendra Prasad decided  about  the formation of Maharashtra state .At last our then Prime Minister, Pt.Jawaharlal Nehru declared Maharashtra as a state of Marathi speaking along with Mumbai (Bomhay)at Shivaji Park, Mumbai on 1stMay 1960.In this way Maharashtra state was formed on 1st May 1960 and Mr.Yashvantrao Chavan became the first Chief Minister of Maharashtra.So we celebrate this day as  the Maharashtra Day every year.In the memory of 106 Martyrs, Hutatma Smarak was built at Flora Fountain in Mumbai. I pay my homage to  all the martyrs and give full stop to my speech.
Jay Hind !Jay Maharashtra!

Speech on The World Students' Day.(15 th October)

Very good morning to one and all. Honourable President/chairperson, respected guests ,my colleagues and my dear students.Today ,we have gathered here to celebrate the World Students' Day.It is celebrated in honour of our former president Late  Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam . In the year  2010, the United  Nations  declared the 15th October  as The World Students' Day on his 79th birthday. The day is commemorated on the birth anniversary of Abdul Kalam because he was a dedicated teacher and an aerospace scientist.He is called  the missile  man .
    On this occasion,I request everyone to take an oath to follow the ways given by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.This is the real tribute to him.It is our duty to complete his dream.He was a humble man who believed  youths to be one of modern India's greatest strengths .He has won the hearts of millions of children and grown ups.
    Being the students,you have to face many challenges in your learning. But keep in your mind that there are ways to overcome the obstacles. Follow some ways to overcome the challenges and hit your target. Some tips are there to shape you and a lesson for you to improve yourselves.
1) Manage your time well.
It means balancing your time well can be a big help in doing your school work.You should understand the value of time because time and tide wait for none .So,you should utilize your time properly.

2) Choose your friends wisely.
Some friends cause the distractions in the way of your learning.So choose friends wisely so that they may help you to vent out  your problems.Keep yourselves away from the bad company.
3) Have a positive  attitude.
Life can be really hard but there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.So be positive.
4) Prepare yourselves.
Prepare yourselves to do your school work .Organize your schedule and have a to do list of school work.It helps to save your precious time.Give importance to time because Time is money.
5)  Use of Mobile.
 Friends, today ,the most remarkable distraction in learning is mobile. We spend  most of our valuable time on the mobile.So you should use it for good cause and purpose.Avoid unnecessary use of mobile.
  While learning ,you may come across many challenges and difficulties but don't be nervous.Dr.A.P.J .Abdul Kalam's life itself is the true inspiration to all.As a son of the  fisherman,he was born and brought up in very adverse circumstances.But by overcoming all the difficulties ,he became an aerospace scientist and also became  the 11th president of India from 2002 to 2007.
 His thoughts also motivate us.He says," Don't  take rest after your first victory because if you fail in the second,more lips are waiting to say that your first victory was just luck." He also says,"All birds find shelter during the rain but Eagle avoids rain by flying above the clouds.,"
 So if you want to be successful in your lives,you should keep Dr.Kalam as a role model before you and also follow his ways. Read his autobiography named Wings Of Fire and  keep his thoughts in your mind.
You should also serve our motherland as per your wishes  and capabilities.To serve the motherland means not only to become the soldiers and fight at the
borders but also  serve the mother India by doing the work which will be beneficial for the nation. Whatever work you have to do, do it honestly because Honesty is the  best  policy.As the students, You should study honestly and being the teachers we should also teach sincerely.Dr. Kalam dreamt that India would be the Superpower by the year 2020. Now the time has come to fulfill his dream. You today's youths are tomorrow's citizens and also the pillars of the nation. So, be the good citizens and serve the motherland .This will be the true tribute to Dr.Kalam. I also pay my homage to Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam  and conclude my speech.
Thank you.🙏🙏
