I will act now

My professor in English wants us to prepare a 3-4 minutes speech for the class as a prelim requirement for her subject 'speech and oral communication'. We have to memorize it, deliver it in front of the class..ok for me actually but the thing is we have to record it on a video tape and submit it to her..patay! im a cam-shy type of gal u know..lol..but before ko asikasuhin ang pagiging mahiyain ko infront of a cam, first thing first- i have to find a perfect speech. so i came out "I will act now" by Og Mandino. Here:


I Will Act now

I will not avoid the tasks of today and charge them to tomorrow for I know that tomorrow never comes. Let me act now even though my actions may not bring happiness or success for it is better to act and fail than not to act and flounder. Happiness, in truth, may not be the fruit plucked by my action yet without all fruit will due on the vine.

I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. Hence-forth I will repeat this words again and again, each day, every day, until the words become as much a habit as my breathing and the actions which follow become as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every act necessary for my success. With these words I can condition my mind to meet every challenge which the failure avoids.

I will act now.

I will repeat these words again and again.

When I face temptation I will say them and immediately act to remove myself from evil. When I am tempted to quit and begin again tomorrow I will say them.

Only action determines my value in my work and to multiply my value I will multiply my actions. I will work when the failure seeks rest. I will talk when the failure remains silent. I will say it is done before the failure says it is too late.

I will act now. For now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the evil become good. I am not evil. Tomorrow is when the weak become strong. I am not weak. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure.

When the lion is hungry he eats. When the eagle has thirst he drinks. Lest they act, both will perish.

I hunger for success. I thirst for happiness and peace of mind. Lest I act I will perish in a life of failure, misery, and sleepless nights.

I will command and I will obey my own command.

I will act now.

Success will not wait. If I delay She will become betrothed to another and lost to me forever.

This is the time. This is the place. I am the man

I will act now.

..oh diba? very motivating! actually, that speech.. napulot ko lang siya sa isang room somewhere sa HS department last year, binasa ko at natuwa naman ako kaya tinabi ko. Kabisa ko na nga eh! paulit-ulit ko kasi yan binabasa sa tuwing sinusumpong ako ng "katam" LOL. Well wish me luck guys na sana hindi ako ma-block habang dini-deliver ko infront of a cam.


P.S.

My best friend WAS here! I don't know how on earth did she finds out but now she think that I'm a total loser for having a blog! ahahahahaha...she didnt tell it directly but i know she wants to bash - "Girl, get a life!" LOL. Dont worry Im not hurt coz ITS TRUE! I love you B! :)
