Today I will be talking about change.
Before I start I’ve got to say something. A good speech should be like a comet: dazzling, eye-opening, and over before you know it. The problem with a lot of speakers is you can’t hear what they’re saying.
Has anyone here watched Incredibles 2? In the movie the bad guy, Screenslaver was making a nice speech but there was lots of action on screen so many people missed what she was saying. She said that because of the supers people were not relying on their instincts anymore. She said when faced with the problem of quality and ease people would always choose ease. She said instead of talking, people watched talk shows and instead of playing games, people watched game shows.
Now I know that’s not completely true but she made a good point.
People like Oprah Winfrey, Malala Yousafzai, Amelia Earnhart, Emma Watson, Rowan Blanchard, and The Famous Five stood up for what they thought was right; they didn’t just stand there waiting for change to happen they made change happen.
People nowadays have strong opinions. One thing lots of people have strong opinions about is gender equality for example. It’s all about how women don’t get treated the same as men, how the men are taking away our power; but have you ever thought the men aren’t taking our power? That we’re taking it ourselves? My Vice-Principal was talking to us girls. She was like ” who controls the world” one girl scream ” Girls do!” My Vice-principal is like ” No. You’re wrong. In this world, men are in charge, so us women need to stand together, help each other and stand up for ourselves “. Back then when women weren’t allowed to vote, the men thought they had taken all of our power but they hadn’t, they hadn’t taken our power we had hidden the power. Women started believing what the men said, they didn’t matter, they weren’t important. The Famous Five brought out their power and once they did others started following.
Don’t be the follower be the leader.
“I think we are too good at adapting that we even adapt to things we don’t want to adapt to. We need to stop adapting to our surroundings so much and start changing.
I was telling my mom, I don’t like it when adults talk about the good old days because they weren’t all that good; I told her for example “did you have WIFI?” But I realize right now isn’t all that good either. But we as humans learn to adapt, we as women learn to adapt. But I think we are too good at adapting that we even adapt to things we don’t want to adapt to. We need to stop adapting to our surroundings so much and start changing.
We need to change.
We can’t change the world by complaining about it; you need to do things to help causes you are passionate about. We need change and change comes in different shapes and sizes, we need to want change, we need to believe and be ready to change ourselves and the world.
It is okay to have fear. Fear is a good thing. Fear has two meanings:
- Forget Everything And Run or
- Face Everything And Rise.
The choice is yours.
Anyways I hope you enjoyed my write-up; and if you did not, I hope you had a good nap.
