question himself that anything is
possible if you believe in yourself this
doesn’t mean that you can fly or that
you can run forever
but it means that you can achieve
anything that can be done by someone
else have you ever done something that
you thought would be impossible like
getting an a on a test that was that you
didn’t even open the book for or getting
an F on a test that you studied for if
that is the case then you’re the proof
that I need for today
you’re the outcome of the impossible
becoming possible by the way the reason
why you received an F on the test you
studied for could be not that you can’t
get an A but that you didn’t try hard
enough this also includes anything from
getting a lot of money versus not
getting enough and working hard and
cleaning houses all day long versus
sitting on a comfortable chair looking
over a beautiful city we have a teacher
in our school who always says that those
who work hard are not always the ones
who succeed but why is that I wonder
well I don’t actually know but I’m bound
to find out soon when I graduate a mummy
and daddy are not there to feed me
anymore anyhow if you set goes to
achieve your dream whatever it is have
an open mindset and if you never give up
it is more likely you achieve something
and grow as a person even if you achieve
less than what you’re aiming for but you
have to try because one day when you’re
an old Grandma and Grandpa you can go
back and say at least I tried this will
help shape communities in the direction
of helping us believe in ourselves and
helping us become a more successful
society because we learn to have a
journey in their life
in our lives and through that journey we
can all move forward moving on if you
want to overcome a challenge if you want
to grow as a person or if you want to
achieve a goal then think of it this way
you’re standing in front of a very tall
fence with electrical wires on top and
if you haven’t guessed yet you want to
jump over that fence so how do you do
that you motivate yourself because on
the other side there is something you
desire however in order to do that you
need to set a goal for yourself you need
to know that you might phone your back
and hurt yourself so you need to stand
up and keep climbing once you do that
you’ll feel better about yourself and
you could achieve your goal you might
have to make sacrifices such as quitting
bad habits like being lazy and
practicing over and over again therefore
you need to make time for your goal how
do you do that you may ask well
prioritizing is the best way
prioritizing helps you distinguish
between what you want to do right now
versus what you want to have
accomplished in the future do you want
to stay at home and watch TV or do you
want to go out and work out at the gym
in the moment you might want to stay at
home but you know that if you do that
you will never achieve your goal of
having a good body there’s a study done
by Andres Eriksson a Swedish
psychologist who claims that achieving
greatness requires time about 10,000
hours is how much the Beatles have spent
performing on stage and same goes for
Bill Gates who spend 10,000 hours
programming on a school computer this is
the 10,000 hour rule which has proven to
be true if you decide to be good in
something like playing an instrument for
example then to be perfect in it you
need to spend 10,000 hours playing it
which is seven years if you spend three
hours a day playing that instrument
basically to achieve a certain goal you
have to aim high and to be willing not
to give up while spending a lot of time
on the
in addition confidence leads to success
therefore to succeed you need to have
confidence why confidence leads to
success is because if you’re not
confident in what you’re doing you do
not know what you’re doing the
confidence I come is simple and goes
like this fake it till you make it just
do it and celebrate any success along
the way confidence comes from the inside
so you need to convince yourself that
you can do this and that if someone else
can will so can you you cannot be
confident if you constantly have
insecurities about yourself to keep
fighting for your dream you have to
believe in yourself you have to look in
the mirror and accept your flaws you
have to believe you were born for a
reason because we all are
whether that reason is you sitting on
the couch eating potato chips while
watching Titanic or if the reason is
you’re becoming a star it really does
not matter as long as you feel
accomplished there’s a reason why no one
is perfect and that is exactly it that
no one should be because otherwise they
would feel useless the happiest people
are the ones who live their life to the
fullest no matter if they have wealth
security or assuming house with the
swimming or our house with a swimming
pool in it
so again prioritize what is more
important to you do you think you need
to like yourself to succeed decide now
and don’t ever doubt yourself for
example there is Stanley Terry Fox Run
for 143 days and five thousand three
hundred seventy three kilometers with
one leg having been amputated eventually
because he had cancer it spread through
his body and he did die but because he
didn’t give up he managed to give
inspiration to people to follow their
ideas through folk shows both practice
and confidence to follow his goal
basically if you want your dreams to
come true
you have to follow them never give up no
matter what happens and most importantly
set
pose for yourself and okay but now you
may think Ana but we’re not all like
Terry Fox we don’t all have such
determination and we can’t do it well
but everything we do is there about our
mindset and personalities if your mind
is telling you that you can’t do
something they begin to believe this and
therefore you begin to not do it
mindset goes from being able to control
your body physically to being able to do
things you never thought you could do
such as Malala Yosef I the 14 year old
Palestinian girl who got shot in the
head by the Taliban because she wanted
to have the right to go to school
however she survived and she began
encouraging girls like her to go and
fight for the right of education
therefore her mindset is set into the
direction of believing in herself and
pursuing on what she wants
no matter the threat because she
prioritized what was important to her
lastly do you ever look back to what you
did wrong and regret it so bad don’t
because people who have no regrets are
the ones who realized that all of these
mistakes have led them to this to where
they are right now even if you can think
of many people in your head of what
they’ve done and that the thing that
they’ve done is so bad and it cannot be
forgiven nor undone then think of the
ones that you really thought would fail
but actually succeed Donald Trump sure
how to mines growth mindset we all
thought he was going down and would
never win the election but he did I also
have a growth mindset
I failed 9th grade math and the only way
that I was able to move to 10th grade
was by doing an online course during the
summer and I did it currently my average
grade in math is around 85% to 92 what
people tell me about failure because I
always believe that there’s a way that
things can change
in the positive way the only way to stop
failing is to
your thought process and to accept
failure with the clear mind you have to
let failure flow through you let the
negative thoughts fly away as you can
think of whatever you did wrong and how
you can make up for it basically the
only way to succeed is by making
mistakes and failing because if you
always do things right then what is the
point of having dreams or ghosts in the
first place
now I’m going to ask you to please do
something for me I’m going to ask you to
please close your eyes yes even the
people who are recording me mum close
your eyes and think of something that
you regret doing think of that one thing
that you really regret doing I don’t
know what it is being yourself in public
whatever just think about that and think
of how that one little thing made you
grow as a person then open them and make
a wish something good believe it will
come true and if you’re actually able to
reflect on what you’ve done wrong and
think of how that thing can actually be
positive then you will succeed because
you know what you want from life and you
know how to get it thank you [Applause]
