Good evening fellow members and gusts.

 

It is my first speech so called Ice breaker. 

So I have to break the ice between you and me so that we can be closer.

 

I want to start it with one question?

Have you ever said it to yourself "Oh, That is enough for me, It is my limitation" haven’t you?

Who do you think setting up your limit?

Please keep this question until end of my speech.

 

I will tell you my little story

 

In general, I don't like playing computer games but 2 years ago I was in Yemen by myself.

I did a very simple computer game in my hotel room.

 

I am a big fan, huge fan of soccer.

Instead of playing soccer I played computer game of Soccer.

 

It was very simple soccer game but the opponent computer was so good. 

most of games I lose at the beginning or 1-0, 2-1 something like neck and neck.

I played and practiced a lot and I beat that notorious computer like 3-0, 4-0 

 

 

But one day I happened to check the highest score of this game done by the other people

It was 15-0.

How come someone got 15-0? Is it possible score done by human being? I thought like that.

But very strange things, some kind of bizarre phenomena happened just right after I knew that the high score was 15-0

 

I won the game not like 3-0. My score rose rocket high like 10, 11 and even with the score of 10,  I did not think it is high enough. I was strongly chasing to reach 15!, trying to get beyond of 15

 

At that moment!

Some kind of very fresh wind or kind of very brightness directly came to my mind.

I thought myself.....

 

"Wait a minute! What is it?

I was struggling to win this game and was very happy with 2 or 3 goals

but now I gain more than 10 scores but think this is not enough and try to reach higher"

 

Then I became to understand What is the purpose of Olympic games.

That is why human, keep recording the world best record of all kinds of sports games

once you know what is the highest record, you drive yourself more harder to get beyond of it.

 

Then the second awareness came to my mind

Okay,  this one is for sport then what about life? What about my life?

 

What was the best record of my life?

Who made it? Or who set it as the best record?

Who set the record and who keep?

 

Then I had reflected all of my life back

And I met the moment I still remember vividly

When I was in middle school, I thought myself the 1st in study.

It is impossible for me so just be within top 10 in my class, not in my school. maybe 5th. okay 5th is good enough.

 

The results? You can guess when the target was 5th, then results was most likely less than the target^^

 

The question I asked you at the beginning, I hope you are still with it

 

"Who do you think setting up your limit?"

Who confines yourself in certain kind of form or dream?

More straight forwardly, Who cut off your dream, target, your talent away?

It is you, you limit out yourself.

 

In other way around, if we change the direction of it

If you allowed yourself aim high, or dream big

 

be generous to yourself for aim high. trust and believe in yourself.

 

then you will see how wonderfully you are achieving the target and the dream come true.
