Question

Draft a speech that you would give at your School Assembly convincing junior students that the secret of true happiness lies in Giving and Sharing more than in Receiving and Taking. Write it with the appropriate steps in your notebook.

Answer 1

Friends, It is through experience I have learned that 'As you give, so you live',

There was a time in my life when I only wanted things. I was happy only when I received gifts. My main goal in life was to take as many things from others as I could.
But then one day, on the way to market, I saw a poor hungry beggar boy running along the road. In his hand, he held a loaf of bread. He ran to his mother, who was lying on the sidewalk, and sat next to her feeding her. It touched me deeply that this boy who must have been hungry himself found greater joy in feeding his famished mother.
From that day onwards I started giving things to others. If I had two pens and someone wanted one, I would give it to him or her. I asked my mother to give my old shirt to a poor child from a nearby slum. For my birthday celebration, instead of having a party, I went along with my mother to the temple and fed a line of beggars.

Giving things to others brings me great joy and happiness. Receiving something gives temporary satisfaction. But reaching out to others and seeing them smile, sharing things with others and making it worthwhile - these are far more precious than any precious stone that I may be fortunate enough to possess

Thank you.
