so good afternoon everybody
and before I start my speech I would
like to ask all of you one question who
here wants to become someone that they
have always dreamed to become please
raise our hand well I know I have that
someone could be as simple as a lawyer
doctor or even a president United States
and who we want to become may be very
different from the person sitting right
next to you you may want to become a
doctor and the person sitting right next
to you may want to become a lawyer you
want to become a doctor because you
you’re passionate by helping other
people and the person sitting next to
you he wants to become a lawyer because
he’s passionate about law and that’s
someone we want to become we want to
become them because we are passionate
about what they do and the actions and
the consequences of their actions and
not the money or the fame as a child I
wanted to become a car designer car was
the first thing that I really got myself
into I remember I would always ask my
grandma grandma can I buy another car
mono and she will always buy me another
car model and I will always admire them
until she has bought all the car models
from the store that she stops buying me
anymore car models and that was just how
passionate I was about cars well as I
grew up I became less and less
passionate about cars and cars and car
designing in general because I have to
attend school and took out a huge chunk
of my time and I barely had time to
think about cars and designing in
general and it was until one day when I
saw a beautiful beautiful car on the
street and I thought this was what I
want to do I want to design something
just as beautiful elegant and exquisite
as this and I said I would be able to do
this for the rest of my life you see
having passion is real easy to the
person you want to become and the more
passionate you are about becoming this
person about what they do and how their
actions affect other people
then the more likely you’re going to
succeed in becoming this person and
right after I became passionate about
cars again I was reading many many books
on how how each part of a car works and
reading history of automobile it was
really fascinating and when you’re
passionate about the thing a particular
thing you want to learn every aspect and
every detail about it so I thought to
myself if you when you’re passionate
about something you want to learn
everything about it then can we apply
that to the things we learned or things
that we are forced to learn in our daily
life as a student I have to learn many
things in school and not all of them I
enjoy like some courses I really enjoy
taking them but some other courses I was
just being forced to take them and I
remember when I was in grade 9 I have to
take math and English those are the two
courses that you everybody has to take
and in the beginning of the year I was
really passionate about math you know
it’s math everyone else man and then
I’ve always been a strong math student
and I thought to myself oh it’s gonna be
another fascinating year for me and it
went smoothly in the beginning but as I
started to progress I did not understand
a few concepts the teacher was teaching
and I was I was struggling I did not
understand and the funny thing is I did
not ask for help I just left it the way
it was and I continued out for a few
weeks and until – it was to the point
where I I just couldn’t keep up and I
had lost hope in math I was no longer
passionate about math on the other hand
in English I was really passionate about
English have been passion about English
since I don’t know great great day and I
stay passionate about English for the
entire year I might not be the best
English student but I was putting in
hours and hours into trying to improve
my English skills I remember my teacher
would our sign our class one chapter of
a book to read and by the next day I
will have finished
haier book already and that was just how
passionate about I was about English and
so I was spending hours and hours in
English but and I wouldn’t bother to
spend 10 to 30 minutes to understand a
few simple math concepts and by the end
of the year I came to a conclusion that
I did not do well in math because I
wasn’t passionate about it and when I
look at my mark which was almost a fail
I did not even care like you know I
think that’s funny but I really honestly
I did not care about my my almost
failing math because I was simply not
passionate about it I don’t care if I
fail on the other hand English I was
doing exceedingly well and I really I
was really proud of myself with that
because I really care about English so
once you stop tearing or being
passionate about something you learn
then doesn’t really affect you in any
way even though that thing might be
really important and for me I wanted to
become a car designer and if you’re bad
at math I don’t know how you’re gonna
become a car designer so and so I came
to conclusion that I was not passionate
about math and that was why I did so bad
but I was asking myself how do I become
passionate about math again right it’s
math after all it cannot be that hard so
I did was that I convinced myself people
leave that math was not as hard as it
was I changed my perspective instead of
seeing math as something that it is too
hard to understand something that is
useless
something that I was really bad at I
start to see it as a friend a friend I
encounter every single day a friend that
we use and we interact with everything
go there and most importantly if I want
to become a car designer I must be
pretty good with math and numbers so
after changing my perspective and how I
see map I immediately start to feel more
interested and more passionate and math
than I was before I start to read books
on famous mathematicians I start to
learn simple formulas and concepts and
start to put in hours and hours into
improving my math skills and my hard
work has paid off my math skills have
improved drastically since before and
passion being passionate about what you
learn is crucial in life because a lot
of things I know a lot of students here
they’re being forced to learn things
such as piano and other things such as
another language for example and they
often don’t see a point in learning them
and they’re not passionate of other
things they were learning and when
they’re not passionate about the things
they’re learning even though the parents
are still like spending a lot of money
on their education the kids do not care
and they you’re not passionate about it
they don’t care if they don’t do well in
the things that their parents are
forcing them to learn so inside the kids
should start taking take initiative and
to change your perspective and see the
things differently they should start to
see for example piano they should start
see the benefit of playing piano if you
saw receipts see the benefit of learning
another language and by changing your
perspective does not just allow you to
find your passions or rediscover
passions that you have already lost it
also allows you to understand other
people are a little bit better and it
helps you to understand yourself just a
little bit better imagine seeing
yourself from a perspective from the
perspective of others it will be a
really totally different self that
you’re seeing and imagine seeing seeing
seeing through the world from a
perspective of a person that you do not
always understand you could understand
them maybe a little bit better right so
I want you to go out here today to
change your perspective and how we see
the world or a few particular things in
your life that you have always hated
change your perspective and discover
passions and things that you have never
found so interesting and passion is what
will take you to the next level and you
will become that someone if you’re
passionate about what they do and their
actions
how their actions will affect other
people you will not become that person
if you’re simply there for the money or
fame because in this journey you will
experience ups and downs and when you’re
in your darkest moment if you’re just
there for the money and fame you will
not get do it because you’re not
passionate about what you’re doing and
if you’re not passionate about it you
will not put in that extra effort and
time into what you’re doing and that is
what distinguish the best from the rest
so if you want to become that someone
you’ve always dreamed to become
find your passion if you haven’t found
your I keep on looking for it
that thing that makes you wake up at
2:00 a.m. in the morning that thing that
makes you say that is the thing I wanted
you for the rest of my life and if I
found it stay committed to it putting
your time and effort into it
and don’t give up and be patient so by
finding your passion pursue it pursuing
your passion you will become the person
you’ve always wanted to become whether
it is an astronaut a scientist or a
mathematician and who knows you might
even become the next Albert Einstein
thank you [Applause]
