Analysis of Imran Khan’s speech

“Never give up on your dreams!”

Presented to: Dr. IslamPresented by: Zehra Batool Farzana Khan

Speech Let be start, by saying that my 1st challenge was

cricket. I was 9 years old when I decided to become a test cricketer. I watched my old cousin JAVED BARKI, scoring a century, at what should not be called KADDAFI STADIUM, now. And I remembered that I made my mind that I would be a test cricketer……

But the 1st shock I have received is, I am telling you “The bigger the goal, the more shocks you are going to have. No more set-backs, the more failures you should expect.”

Speech I have exactly developed a mechanism that how to cope-up with

failures. 1st thing you do is that, don’t read the newspaper. Why? What is the point of reading the newspaper, when you know, whatever is going to be written, is not going to be complementary. 2ndly, don’t go to any public function. Because when you go to any public function, you’ll get plenty of advices. Because advice is free. But the only problem is the advice, you get, when you have lost. Its like “rubbing salt on your wounds”. So best is avoid people. No. 3. Try to go somewhere, where there is no one. Like , go to KARAKARAM for a tracking holiday. Best time to be with a family.

What failure does is something invaluable. It gives you time for soul searching. It enables you to analyze your mistakes. It is the one time

Speech where you can learn. Failure can be the best teacher, provided you ,

don’t get demoralized by failure. If you get demoralized, you lost. If you can access and analyze your mistakes, “it is a stepping stone to moving higher”……

The biggest problem is there, when you have a set-back is that, there is a big temptation to scale down your ambitions, to suddenly expect something less of you. This is the biggest trap. Most people fail, when they compromise on their visions and dreams, in times of weaknesses………

Remember this is a big difference that, “the +ve mind said that we will win and –ve mind said that we should not loose”………

Speech• Any policy you make out of fear is destined for disaster. Whenever

you make a policy, it should never determine out of any fear out of anything and the worse fear is fear of losing, because the fear of loosing stops you from winning………

• Whatever your dreams are, always never think that you will not achieve them. I have never ever thought that I wouldn’t achieve my dream………

• So the greater the ambitions, the greater hard work, you should do. There are no shortcuts in your life……….

Speech Each time you fall and pick yourself up, you become more strong but

the secret is you never ever give up. You only lose when you give up and the ability to handle the bad times………

In my opinion, Pakistan is a country which is posing with talent, it doesn’t have a system; it doesn’t have institutions; doesn’t have any rules of law; has criminals running the country. No country can prosper, its impossible if you put criminals in a factory, the factory will collapse. How can a country run? The only problem in our way is apathy. The one thing which in my opinion is in the verse of HOLY QURAN, “those who have faith, ALLAH removes their fears.” fear is the biggest problem in this country. We are scared, people are so scared to take on this best of interest. So, we are sitting and watching this in front of us and people are reluctant to do anything.
