Great Talks Most People Have Never Heard

Not long ago, I came across a little-known speech titled, “You and Your Research”.

The speech had been delivered in 1986 by Richard Hamming, an accomplished mathematician and computer engineer, as part of an internal series of talks given at Bell Labs. I had never heard of Hamming, the internal lecture series at Bell Labs, or this particular speech. And yet, as I read the transcript, I came across one useful insight after another.

After reading that talk, I got to thinking… what other great talks and speeches are out there that I’ve never heard?

I’ve been slowly searching for answers to that question and the result is this list of my favorite interesting and insightful talks that are not widely known. You may see a few famous speeches on this list, but my guess is that most people are not aware of many of them—just as I wasn’t when I first started looking around.

As far as I know this is the only place where you can read transcripts of these speeches in one place.

Transcript: Greta Thunberg's Speech At The U.N. Climate Action Summit

Climate activist Greta Thunberg, 16, addressed the U.N.'s Climate Action Summit in New York City on Monday. Here's the full transcript of Thunberg's speech, beginning with her response to a question about the message she has for world leaders.

"My message is that we'll be watching you.

"This is all wrong. I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you!

"You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. And yet I'm one of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!

'This Is All Wrong,' Greta Thunberg Tells World Leaders At U.N. Climate Session

"For more than 30 years, the science has been crystal clear. How dare you continue to look away and come here saying that you're doing enough, when the politics and solutions needed are still nowhere in sight.

"You say you hear us and that you understand the urgency. But no matter how sad and angry I am, I do not want to believe that. Because if you really understood the situation and still kept on failing to act, then you would be evil. And that I refuse to believe.

"The popular idea of cutting our emissions in half in 10 years only gives us a 50% chance of staying below 1.5 degrees [Celsius], and the risk of setting off irreversible chain reactions beyond human control.

"Fifty percent may be acceptable to you. But those numbers do not include tipping points, most feedback loops, additional warming hidden by toxic air pollution or the aspects of equity and climate justice. They also rely on my generation sucking hundreds of billions of tons of your CO2 out of the air with technologies that barely exist.

"So a 50% risk is simply not acceptable to us — we who have to live with the consequences.

"To have a 67% chance of staying below a 1.5 degrees global temperature rise – the best odds given by the [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] – the world had 420 gigatons of CO2 left to emit back on Jan. 1st, 2018. Today that figure is already down to less than 350 gigatons.

"How dare you pretend that this can be solved with just 'business as usual' and some technical solutions? With today's emissions levels, that remaining CO2 budget will be entirely gone within less than 8 1/2 years.

"There will not be any solutions or plans presented in line with these figures here today, because these numbers are too uncomfortable. And you are still not mature enough to tell it like it is.

"You are failing us. But the young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The eyes of all future generations are upon you. And if you choose to fail us, I say: We will never forgive you.

"We will not let you get away with this. Right here, right now is where we draw the line. The world is waking up. And change is coming, whether you like it or not.

"Thank you."

Thank you very much. Thank you very, very much. And thank you, Dana. Thank you, Kid Rock, sometimes referred to as “Bob.” And thank you, Lee, right from the beginning, thank you very much. What a talent. What a beautiful, beautiful song. Thank you.

Friends, delegates and fellow citizens. I stand before you this evening with a message of confidence, strength and hope. Four months from now, we will have an incredible victory, and we will begin the four greatest years in the history of our country.

Together, we will launch a new era of safety, prosperity and freedom for citizens of every race, religion, color and creed.

The discord and division in our society must be healed. We must heal it quickly. As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate and a shared destiny. We rise together. Or we fall apart.

I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America.

So tonight, with faith and devotion, I proudly accept your nomination for president of the United States. Thank you. Thank you very much.

Speech Writing Essay

Speech writing: mastering the art of effective communication.

Speech writing is a nuanced art that blends persuasion, clarity, and eloquence to convey messages compellingly. Unlike writing essays or articles, crafting a speech requires a focus on audience engagement, vocal delivery, and the power of brevity. This essay explores the essential elements of effective speech writing, offering insights into creating speeches that resonate and inspire.

Understanding Your Audience

The cornerstone of any speech is a deep understanding of the audience. A speech should be tailored to the listeners’ interests, beliefs, and level of knowledge on the topic. Knowing your audience enables you to use language, anecdotes, and examples that connect on a personal level, making your message more impactful.

Clarity of Purpose

Every speech must have a clear objective. Whether the goal is to inform, persuade, entertain, or motivate, the purpose should guide the structure and content of the speech. A well-defined objective helps in crafting a focused message that drives home the key points without meandering.

Engaging Structure

An effective speech follows a logical structure, beginning with a compelling introduction that hooks the audience. The body of the speech should present ideas or arguments in a coherent sequence, supported by evidence or storytelling. The conclusion ties everything together, reinforcing the main message and leaving the audience with a lasting impression.

The Power of Storytelling

Storytelling is a powerful tool in speech writing. Stories can humanize complex issues, evoke emotions, and make abstract concepts relatable. A well-told story can anchor your speech, providing memorable moments that linger in the audience’s minds long after the speech concludes.

Persuasive Techniques

Persuasive speeches leverage rhetorical strategies such as ethos (credibility), pathos (emotional appeal), and logos (logical argument) to convince the audience. Using these techniques judiciously can enhance the persuasive power of a speech, influencing the audience’s beliefs or actions.

Simplicity and Clarity

Simplicity is the soul of wit, especially in speech writing. Complex ideas must be distilled into clear, concise language. Avoid jargon and technical terms that might alienate the audience. The best speeches are those that express profound ideas in simple words, making them accessible to all listeners.

Rehearsal and Delivery

The effectiveness of a speech also lies in its delivery. Rehearsing the speech multiple times can refine its pacing, tone, and emphasis. Non-verbal cues, such as eye contact, gestures, and facial expressions, play a significant role in engaging the audience and enhancing the speech’s impact.

Feedback and Adaptation

Great speechwriters understand the value of feedback. Practicing in front of a trusted audience and being open to constructive criticism can uncover areas for improvement. Additionally, being adaptable and ready to tweak the speech based on audience reactions during the delivery is crucial for real-time engagement.

In conclusion, speech writing is an art that requires meticulous planning, a deep understanding of the audience, and the ability to convey messages with clarity and impact. By mastering the elements of structure, storytelling, persuasion, and delivery, speechwriters can create powerful speeches that inform, inspire, and influence. The goal is not just to speak but to be heard, understood, and remembered, making speech writing a critical skill in the arsenal of effective communication.

Speech Writing For Elementary Students

Title: the adventure of reading books.

Good morning, everyone!

Today, I want to take you on an exciting adventure, an adventure you can embark on from the comfort of your home, classroom, or even your backyard. This adventure doesn’t require you to pack bags or travel far. All you need is a book!

Imagine opening a book and diving into a world where dragons soar high in the sky, where you can solve mysteries with detectives, or travel to distant planets. Reading books is like having a magic key that unlocks different worlds, worlds full of wonder, knowledge, and fun.

Some of you might think, “But why should I read when I can watch TV or play video games?” Well, let me share a secret with you. When you read, you become the director of your own movie. You imagine the characters, the places, and the action. Your mind becomes stronger, more creative, and more imaginative with every page you turn.

Books are also your best friends. They are always there for you, waiting to tell you a story, teach you something new, or make you laugh. And the best part? They never run out of battery!

But how do you start this adventure? It’s easy! Start with a book about something you love. Do you like animals? There are books full of animal adventures. Love space? There are books that take you to the stars. Just pick a book, open the first page, and let the adventure begin.

Remember, every book you read is a step into another world. So, I encourage all of you, my fellow adventurers, to start your journey today. Pick a book and discover the magic that lies within its pages.

Thank you for listening, and happy reading!

Speech Writing For Class 10

Title: the power of perseverance.

Good morning, respected principal, esteemed teachers, and my dear classmates. Today, I stand before you to talk about something that I believe is the key to success – the power of perseverance.

Imagine you are climbing a mountain. You are halfway to the top when you hit a steep, seemingly insurmountable section. What do you do? Do you give up and slide back down, or do you take a deep breath, find a new path, and keep climbing? This, my friends, is perseverance.

Perseverance is not just a word; it’s a journey. It’s about facing challenges head-on and not giving up, even when the odds are against you. It’s about Thomas Edison, who failed a thousand times before inventing the lightbulb. It’s about J.K. Rowling, who was rejected by twelve publishers before Harry Potter was accepted. Their stories teach us that success is not about never failing but about rising every time we fall.

Why is perseverance important, you may ask? It’s because life is not a smooth journey. There will be times when our resolve is tested, our patience stretched thin, and our spirits dampened. It is in these moments that the strength of our character is forged.

But how do we cultivate perseverance? Firstly, by setting clear goals. Knowing what you want is the first step in achieving it. Secondly, by embracing failure. Each failure is a lesson, a stepping stone on the path to success. And lastly, by staying positive. A positive mindset can move mountains and turn dreams into reality.

Let me share a personal story. Last year, I struggled with mathematics. No matter how hard I tried, the concepts just didn’t click. I considered giving up many times. But instead, I sought help, spent extra hours on practice, and gradually, the puzzles began to fit. My perseverance turned my weakest subject into one of my strongest.

In conclusion, remember that perseverance is a choice. It’s easy to give up, but it takes courage to push through the challenges and keep going. As Winston Churchill once said, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.”

So, to all my friends here today, let’s make a pledge to persevere, no matter what. Let’s climb our mountains, reach the top, and then, find higher mountains to conquer. Because in the end, it is perseverance that makes us winners.

Speech Writing on Teachers Day

Title: a tribute to our guiding stars.

Good morning to our respected principal, dedicated teachers, and my fellow students. Today, as we celebrate Teachers’ Day, I am honored to stand before you to express our gratitude and appreciation for the remarkable individuals who do much more than teach; they inspire, guide, and shape our futures.

Teachers are the architects of society. They lay the foundation of knowledge and ethics upon which we build our dreams and aspirations. They are the guiding stars that lead us through the darkness of ignorance towards the light of wisdom and understanding. Today is not just a day to celebrate, but a moment to acknowledge the relentless efforts, sacrifices, and passion of our teachers.

Imagine a world without teachers. It would be a world devoid of inspiration, a world where the light of knowledge dims. Our teachers are the unsung heroes who challenge us to be better, to dream bigger, and to strive harder. They see potential in us that we often fail to see in ourselves. They are not just educators; they are mentors, friends, and pillars of support.

The role of a teacher extends far beyond the classroom. They teach us not just academics, but life lessons that help us navigate the complex journey of life. They instill in us values like integrity, respect, and compassion, which shape our character and guide our actions.

On this special day, let us take a moment to thank our teachers for their invaluable contributions. Let us thank them for the patience with which they handle our questions, the enthusiasm with which they share knowledge, and the dedication with which they are committed to our success. Our achievements are a direct reflection of their hard work and belief in us.

To all the teachers who have touched our lives in myriad ways, thank you. Thank you for the early mornings and late nights, for the lessons planned and the grades given, for the smiles shared and the tears wiped away. Your influence extends far beyond the walls of this school; it touches the heart of every student you’ve taught.

As we move forward in our lives, let us carry the lessons learned from our teachers with pride and gratitude. Let us be a testament to their dedication and a tribute to their legacy.

In closing, I would like to quote Henry Adams, “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” Our teachers are the heart and soul of our educational journey, and on this Teachers’ Day, we celebrate and honor them for being our guiding stars.

Thank you, teachers, for everything.

What Is a Speech?

Before we start digging deep into the details of how to start writing that speech, we should first start with some of the basics. Let us first define what is a speech .

Speech is a group of sample statements that an individual says in front of an audience. It is typically practiced whenever said individual is in a public gathering. The individual can be someone running for a political office, managers looking to inspire their subordinates, or businessman or leader. Most of the time, the purpose of saying a speech is to inspire or to create tension within the group.

Types of Speeches

Speeches come in various forms, each designed to serve a specific purpose or address particular audiences. Here’s a rundown of some common types of speeches:

1. Informative Speech

An  informative speech , from the word  informative,  aims to provide the audience information about a specific topic or subject. With these types of speeches, you want to make sure that your audience is able to understand and remember what you have shared with them.

Topics discussed whenever informative speeches are utilized are the following:

• concept, or

2. Persuasive Speech

Persuasive speeches aim to convince an audience that what they are saying or what they are trying to relay to them is what is correct. A ton of times, these speeches try to challenge the beliefs of an individual. A ton of times, political figures or those who are running for office are the ones who make use of these speeches.

How to Write a Speech?

You have to make sure that when you start writing your speech that you are able to write it properly. So to help you out with that, we are here to give you a guideline and a few tips regarding how to write your speech.

1. Basic Preparations

• Choose your topic well.  You want to make sure that you are able to focus properly on what you want to convey. Aside from trying to make it match the event or occasion, you also have to make sure that it will appeal to the interest of the audience. Make sure that you also pick a topic that you deem is important to the audience. However, if you find yourself not having the luxury of being able to choose your own topic, make sure that you research the topic well and that you seem enthusiastic when it comes to your delivery.
• Make sure that you are able to find what the purpose of the speech is.  You should know why you are delivering this speech of yours. Make sure that you state this in a way that will inspire, instruct, or be able to lead to an action.
• When it comes to the body of the speech, you can state at least three main points and make good arguments for each point. Make sure that they are in line or that they flow smoothly together. End with the most important point to make it more memorable to the audience.
• Be persuasive.  Whether you are writing a persuasive speech or not, make sure that you make your arguments sound. You can do this by stating facts and stating references that would make your speech and arguments more solid.

2. Make Your Speech Effective

• Choose your words wisely.  Match the words you will be using with that of your audience. If you are writing a speech for 10th graders, make sure that you use words that are at par with their comprehension. You should take time to explain concepts that they have yet to know and give them a brief background of these concepts in order to widen their perspective regarding your topic.
• Insert a hook.  Make sure that you are able to catch the audience’s attention by inserting interesting phrases. You can do this in the introduction of your speech. If you are able to start strong, you will be able to build an  sample agreement  with most of the audience.
• Remember to focus.  Avoid straying away from the topic. You want to ensure that all throughout your speech, you are focused on the message that you are trying to convey. You should avoid rambling or else you start losing the attention of the audience and you will also confuse them with what your main message is.
• Make it seem natural.  Never make it seem like you are just reading off a piece of  sample paper . Insert a few pauses especially the points that you would like to point out. This way they will be able to remember these points. During delivery, you can change your tone during these parts.

3. Forming the Speech Proper

• Open with a big statement.  This will be your hook and this is what will keep your audience interested in what you have to say. You can go for famous quotes, anecdotes, or interesting facts. You can take a look at  Introduction Speech Samples  for reference.
• Make the audience a part of your speech.  Instead of using “I,”   use “we” or other collective nouns. This way, the audience will feel like they are a part of what you are relaying.
• Build arguments properly.  Start with a strong point, followed by your weakest one, and end with another strong point.
• Be aware of your transitions.  Make sure that each paragraph is coherent with the previous one and the next one. This way, the audience will not get confused.
• End strong.  If you start strong, you also have to end strong. Reiterate a few points and summarize what you were trying to convey.

Now that you know a little bit more about writing speeches, we hope that you get to apply these. Make sure that you also hand your first draft to someone to read in case you miss any misspellings, inconsistencies, and grammatical errors.

(For example, I’ll be talking about…First..Second…Third) Begin with a story, quote, fact, joke, or observation in the room. It shouldn’t be longer than 3-4 lines. (For Example: “Mahatma Gandhi said once…”, or “This topic reminds me of an incident/story…”) This part is also important because that’s when your audience decides if the speech is worth their time. Keep your introduction factual, interesting, and convincing. It is the most important part of any speech. You should provide a number of reasons and arguments to convince the audience to agree with you. Handling objections is an important aspect of speech composition. There is no time for questions or concerns since a speech is a monologue. Any concerns that may occur during the speech will be addressed by a powerful speech. As a result, you’ll be able to respond to questions as they come in from the crowd. To make speech simpler you can prepare a flow chart of the details in a systematic way. For example: If your speech is about waste management; distribute information and arrange it according to subparagraphs for your reference. It could include: What is Waste Management? Major techniques used to manage waste Advantages of Waste Management   Importance of Waste Management  The conclusion should be something that the audience takes with them. It could be a reminder, a collective call to action, a summary of your speech, or a story. For example: “It is upon us to choose the fate of our home, the earth by choosing to begin waste management at our personal spaces.” After concluding, add a few lines of gratitude to the audience for their time. For example: “Thank you for being a wonderful audience and lending me your time. Hope this speech gave you something to take away.” Practice Your Speech Writing with these English Speech topics for students ! A good speech is well-timed, informative, and thought-provoking.

Read these to prepare for your next speech: Write a speech to be delivered in the school assembly as Rahul/ Rubaina of Delhi Public School emphasises the importance of cleanliness, implying that the level of cleanliness represents the character of its residents. (150-200 words) “Cleanliness is next to godliness,” said the great John Wesley. Hello, respected principal, instructors, and good friends. Today, I, Rahul/Rubaina, stand in front of you all to emphasise the significance of cleanliness. Cleanliness is the condition or attribute of being or remaining clean. Everyone must learn about cleaning, hygiene, sanitation, and the different diseases that are produced by unsanitary circumstances. It is essential for physical well-being and the maintenance of a healthy atmosphere at home and at school. A filthy atmosphere invites a large number of mosquitos to grow and spread dangerous diseases. On the other side, poor personal cleanliness causes a variety of skin disorders as well as lowered immunity. Habits formed at a young age become ingrained in one’s personality. Even if we teach our children to wash their hands before and after meals, brush their teeth and bathe on a regular basis, we are unconcerned about keeping public places clean. On October 2, 2014, the Indian Prime Minister began the “Swachh Bharat” programme to offer sanitation amenities to every family, including toilets, solid and liquid waste disposal systems, village cleanliness, and safe and appropriate drinking water supplies. Teachers and children in schools are actively participating in the ‘Clean India Campaign’ with zeal and excitement. Good health ensures a healthy mind, which leads to better overall productivity, higher living standards, and economic development. It will improve India’s international standing. As a result, a clean environment is a green environment with fewer illnesses. Thus, cleanliness is defined as a symbol of mental purity. Thank you very much.

You decide to speak about it during the morning assembly. Create a speech about “School Discipline.” (150 – 200 words) INDISCIPLINE IN SCHOOLS, It has been reported that the frequency of fights and incidences of bullying in our school has increased dramatically in the previous several months. Good morning to everyone present. Today, I, Sahil/Sanya, your head boy/girl, am here to shed light on the serious topic of “Increased Indiscipline in Schools.” It has come to light that instructor disobedience, bullying, confrontations with students, truancy, and insults are becoming more widespread. Furthermore, there have been reports of parents noticing a shift in their children’s attitudes. As a result, many children are suffering emotionally, psychologically, and physically. The impact of this mindset on children at a young age is devastating and irreversible. Not to mention the harm done to the school’s property. Theft of chalk, scribbling on desks, walls and lavatory doors, destruction of CCTV cameras and so forth. We are merely depriving ourselves of the comforts granted to us by doing so. Following numerous meetings, it was determined that the main reasons for the problem were a lack of sufficient guidance, excessive use of social media, and peer pressure. The council is working to make things better. Everyone is required to take life skills classes. Counselling, motivating, and instilling friendly ideals will be part of the curriculum. Seminars for parents and students will be held on a regular basis. A counsellor is being made available to help you all discuss your sentiments, grudges, and personal problems. We are doing everything we can and expect you to do the same. So, let us work together to create an environment in which we encourage, motivate, assist, and be nice to one another because we are good and civilised humans capable of a great deal of love.

Students who learn how to manage their anger can help to alleviate the situation. Write a 150-200-word speech about the topic to be delivered at the school’s morning assembly. (10) HOW TO CONTROL ANGER Honourable Principal, Respected Teachers, and Dear Friends, I’d like to share a few “Ways to Manage Anger” with you today. The growing intolerance among the younger generation, which is resulting in violence against teachers, is cause for severe concern. The guru-shishya parampara is losing its lustre. Aggressive behaviour in students can be provoked by a variety of factors, including self-defence, stressful circumstance, over-stimulation, or a lack of adult supervision. It has become imperative to address the situation. Life skills workshops will be included in the curriculum. Teachers should be trained to deal with such stubborn and confrontational behaviours. Meditation and deep breathing are very beneficial and should be practised every morning. Students should be taught to count to ten before reacting angrily. Sessions on anger control and its importance must also be held. Remember that Anger is one letter away from danger. It becomes much more crucial to be able to control one’s rage. It’s never too late to start, as a wise man once said. “Every minute you stay angry, you lose sixty seconds of peace of mind.” Relevant Read: English Speech Topics for Students Martin Luther King Jr’s ‘I Have A Dream’ is one of his most famous speeches. Its impact has lasted through generations. The speech is written by utilising the techniques above. Here are some examples: “still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination” – emotive Language “In a sense, we’ve come to our nation’s capital to cash a check” – personalising the speech “to stand up for freedom together” – a call to action.
