Final Draft of dream speech

Having Peace One Day

 

I have a dream that all the members who are sitting here get peace one day. I have a dream that every citizen of this lovely world gets peace to enjoy its natural beauty. Hello, my name is Siddhant Talwar and today I am here to tell you about my dream. If you agree to follow and dream along with me this will help not only me but also you, you, you and you Mr.Friedmen yes you too! Today you are going to hear a number of topics which relate with peace one way or another. I want to be the one after Mr. Jeremy Gilley who started the project Peace One Day (POD). I know I cannot change a lot but I am sure We, I repeat, we can change the world in a bigger way. I’ll be talking about 3 main topics which are what the causes of not having peace are and then what my will is and last but not least how we can make a difference.

 

 

To turn my dream into reality, I deeply thought why we are not surrounded by peace, and, why very often we hear some news that, this unhappy incidence has taken place around us? There are a number of factors. In my first attempt, I felt that it is money, religion and power game among the different countries. Later, more efforts guided me that, no doubt, these three factors do contribute in dividing this world into different thoughts and religions. Today most of the countries are affected by acts of those people or groups who are not interested in peace. Violent actions of these people in the society are torturing every citizen of this universe. For instance, either it is Middle East or some Asian countries; we do watch on television that these parts of the world are always disturbed. We saw another instance of unmerciful activities of those terror activities, which attacked the Western World on 9/11, and later very recently in India when more than 150 innocent people were killed. I am sure their unmerciful and unpeaceful acts will not bring peace to the world.

 

I wish a world, which will become into existence ignoring all differences of countries and people. In my opinion, service to any religion is to respect all religions and love every human being and rather to every creation of Almighty. This will create a healthy environment around us. When we will be together in thoughts and direction, we will be in a better position to fight against natural disasters whether it is Tsunami or even a drought in Africa. In 2007 according to the UN over 100 million people were active on Peace Day, in 192 countries. There were life-saving initiatives in 14 countries and over 80 activities in Afghanistan along where 1.4 million children were vaccinated against polio. Our joint action has enabled us to fight against polio and such initiatives under UN Flag have disabled polio. This dream of mine will not only help one country but also the world as a whole. We can achieve this goal only by way of global ceasefire and non-violence with a fixed calendar date.

For achieving this goal of Peace One Day all of us should:-
· remain vigilant and use proper care at every place and moment;

· work for the community as a whole;

· develop strong social, religious and economic structure in every country;

· respect international rules for the development of every human being;

· to help those who are weak financially by way of donations;

· commit to international peace;

· be honest, be safe, be respectful and be responsible – 4 Bs.

· spread the word to the people who could not join us today.

And if you can’t do that, please do not fight at your house!

So, I hope you will help yourself and me in our dreams. Remember you can make a difference in this world by the ideas I gave you moments ago. You can help us by going on www.peaceoneday.org by donating some money to the orphans; spread the word to others who couldn’t join this day with us. Never forget 21st September 2009 next peace day will help us, help the world, help peace one day become a reality.

Thank you,
