Message of the Day - The Power of Everyday Speeches

Good Morning,
 
"We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender" - Winston Churchill
 
"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.'" - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
 
"General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall! - Ronald Reagan
 
"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too. " John Fitzgerald Kennedy
 
These like many other powerful speeches have reached the hearts and minds of countless millions. They were given when they were needed. They said what people needed to hear. Unfortunately, most of us were not present or even alive to hear these speeches when they were originally delivered. Also, while these speeches are powerful, they don't always address what we face each and every day.
 
There are, though, many less known speeches that have come at the right time for what we need here and now. They were speeches given by coworkers, friends, family and motivational speakers. These speeches may not be recorded in history, but they mattered and they made a difference. 
 
Never doubt the importance of what you have to share, because you never know who may be waiting to hear what you have to say.
 
We may not have delivered the Gettysburg Address, but there are words that we deliver that help others at their time of need. Our words can and do make a difference.
 
Enjoy!
