Together we can achieve more.

Together we can achieve more.

Good morning everyone. Today I am going to talk about “Together we can achieve more”.

Let me start with the story of PV Sindhu. We all know, PV Sindhu is the first Indian woman to win an Olympic silver medal in badminton. Her success was not just an ordinary event. It was a miracle. She made our nation proud. Her success is a perfect example of her teamwork and togetherness with her coach, co-players and family.

Let me give some beautiful examples of advantages in unity. Animals like Buffalos organize themselves like a band of soldiers to protect themselves from predators. Wolves always hunt as a pack.

Even human beings are social animals. Each of us have unique talent. We all work together in our day to day lives to achieve success. For example, teachers teach students, farmers grow crops and feed people, tailors stitch clothes, doctors look after patients, soldiers protect our country’s borders, etc. Thus unity and togetherness is basic force of life on earth.

Our country India is known to be a multicultural land where people from different religious, cultural and social background live in harmony.

In the past, British rulers adopted the policy of “Divide and rule” and started ruling our country. They treated us like slaves. Mahatma Gandhiji led India to independence by uniting people through various independence movements including “Dandi March”. Our freedom was possible only because of our unity and togetherness.

Let us refresh our memories on some of India’s greatest achievements.

We have the world famous monuments such as Brihadeeshwara temple, Taj Mahal, Golden temple, etc. In 2014, we achieved Polio Eradication. In 2013, we successfully launched Mangalyaan.

All these achievements make India a strong and powerful nation. We will soon emerge to be world leader with our togetherness.

Before concluding, I would like to point out where we are failing in our togetherness. There is so much competition in today’s world. We are running after success and see our peers as competitors. We should learn from our studious friends instead of bullying them as “nerd”. Also we should help a student who struggles in studies instead of calling him a “loser”.

Let’s sensitize ourselves on this serious issue. We students should join together and focus our efforts to make new inventions in fields of science and technology.

Let me conclude by quoting Henry Ford, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.”

Friends, let us work together to make miracles and make the world beautiful.

Thank you!
