you owe it to your audience as a nagger
you need to draw your boundaries make
eye contact with the last person sitting
there to the person to the left to the
extreme end here to the extreme end to
my right you need to arrest your
audience and now let me tell you how you
do that the power of words power of
words words can move mountains words can
move faith what’s can hurt you what’s
can
make you cry once can make you happy
words can get you excited that is the
power of words well by beginning it’s
quite a funny one actually there was a

was able to attract so many guys out
there I got an opportunity about ten
years back at Big Bazaar old Madras rule
in Bangalore and then all I had to do is
say buy one sari get one sari free buy

did that I did such a good job that I
was able to take in the sales revenue to
a little higher I just happen to speak

coming to building your own brand you
know life is a very very important brand
like you see Pepsi or Cola or Kit Kats
or Maggi anything build your life brand
read this book by Stedman Graham which
talks about your life brands when I
wanted to be an anchor MC I just did not
want to be another one I wanted to be
the one the MC
BJ anchored the speaker become so
synonymous when they hear your name they
attach to it in certain parts of region
of India when they hear MC the first way
to look what I have got from my feedback
happens to be MC a bus of course when I
was a kid I used to love travelling in
autos and still do my first event I
traveled in the Nord – and I was so
happy with it that day I happened to see
a white color beautiful already go by I
just thought about it one day I’m going
to own this I just didn’t say that I
believed in it my dear friends
believe in yourself and believe like the
secret the book says Law of Attraction
already see yourself as the winner
already see yourself driving your
favourite car wearing your favorite
watch doing your favorite things and
trust me you can do it too I could
transition in about five years and I’m
sure you can do it sooner no dream too
big remember that look you’re going yes
of Auto dementia but when I started off
anchoring you know lot of them used to
come and tell me I had a gigantic accom
kurta is this even a job same thing you
know join engineering or medical all of
that let me tell you one thing they are
going to be naysayers they are going to
be bad talkers statues are never laid in
honor of any critic if you listen to a
critic then you have to be nothing do
nothing say nothing and mind you we are
not born to be nothing Okuda janja
temple and Diaz MA no kita Lena Headey
giardia and encore enoki hard walk equal
smart work but do your hard work but
work very smart on my first year and I
was just paid about 500 rupees for 10
hours of buy-one-get-one-free talking or
the mic then I thought why not do one
out of work and make hundred times more
it’s possible now you cannot do your
regular work you need to be smart God
has gifted you with a beautiful brain
make the best use of it let me tell you
a quick story on Gruen shisha all rights
this is guru and the shisha sheesh I
went to the Guru and said guru I really
want to be successful what do I do
the girl happened to say come he took
him to a riverbank and drowned him for a
minute got him out the shisha is trying
very very hard to breathe again he takes
him and gets him in
the river gets him out he’s trying very
very hard to retain his about to choke
to death and then the Guru asks him
how badly do you want to breathe he says
I would give up anything I just want to
breed to live that is how much you need
to want success as much as you want to
breathe you need to have the fire in
your belly in your eyes that wigger the
obsession the passion to really really
make it make the cut
ha how many of you fans of Rajnikant or
make some noise now would the race on an
annual tourism Normandy that exactly
what you need to be as an MC because
Rajinikanth is one of the best
communicators you need not known high
jargons or the fancy words you just need
to relate to your audience simplicity is
the beauty let me tell you let me
quickly tell you about Rajnikant okay
Rajini can’t pick up his dog how to pick
up his own poop because Rajinikanth does
not take from anyone with that let
me move to another another integral part
yes here we are yes the power of AMA
being in this state I have to because I
am from Karnataka please save me yeah
Amma generate a no doubt she’s our motto
so many what I’d like to say is whatever
we are today is the beautiful pair our
prayers offer parents there is a
wonderful thing in hardships in the
worst times we are able to sail through
how much kill Rostow main Asahi suffer
lotta hair sucked
Rostow may assign he suffer lotta hair
or he left aji Muji marry Maki do ANCA
select ahead our mothers you know some
of may not be alive may be in heaven
they always pray for us they always want
us to good to do well in life that is
what a mother is
and I think the best thing you can learn
is from your mother
the purity of being even being an artist
is that bemidji dollar be me Laquisha
hubby Milegi kid maad kuruma baki

also get you to this do you know the
gentleman there we all know right the
