Transcript:
You and I are not very different from this flower. Just like this flower is unique, you are unique. All of us have something special that makes us as beautiful. Do you know what makes you special?
Now the answer to that can be a little difficult to find, because sometimes life has a cruel way of picking out your petals, breaking you in two and throwing you into the trash. Now when you’re broken, it’s very difficult to feel special.
Mr Contest Chair, my fellow flowers. I can remember the first time I broke. I was 17 years old. I had already flunked high school and managed to get myself arrested. Now, I wasn’t afraid of the cops, but there was one person I was very afraid of and that was my mama. Raise your hand if you have an emotional mother. Let me see. Put them all together you get my mama. I can hear her scream outside the police station; even the cops were afraid. She came up to me, held the iron bars, looked into my eyes and I saw a tear coming down her face.
Now I’ve seen my mama cry before, but mothers cry three types of tears: tears of joy, tears of sorrow and tears of shame. And when a son sees a mother cry tears of shame, that’s a life-changing moment. She looked at me and said, “Son, I want you to be a better man”. That night, when I drove home, my dad was waiting for me at home.
Now, my dad is a cool dad. Raise your hand if you have a cool dad. Put them all together you get my dad. My dad came up to me and said “Son, it’s OK. You flunked your exams. You already got arrested. That’s fine. You get that from your mother's side. I want you to start working immediately”. And I said, ‘OK.’
So my dad took me to meet one of his friends called Sam. Now, Sam was an accountant who had an accounting firm and had generously decided to make me his personal assistant, and there he was. He looked like a teddy bear, but this man was special. I looked at him and he looked at me, and then he said the most amazing thing. He said “Son, I see something in you, but I don’t know what it is. If you decide to work with me, I can help you find that something”. And I was like, wow!, that’s the first time in my whole life somebody has ever told they see something in me. And I started working for Sam.
And every day after work he used to tell me stories about the world, about history, about culture, about philosophy and it was much more interesting than what I learned in school. And I discovered I can dream and I started dreaming, ladies and gentlemen. After one year I went back into high school, completed my exams and went into college.
After successfully completing college, I found a great girl, but not a job. I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. Have you ever had that problem? And when you’re lost, it’s difficult to feel special. So I went back to my cool dad and I said: “Dad, I feel lost”.
He said, “You are like your mother.”
So my dad introduced me to this strange club that had a strange name, with strange people, talking.
On the first meeting, they told me to do something called a table topic. I aced it. But while I was speaking I see a strange man seated in the back row, humble, simple, the unfailing quality of kindness in his eyes. As soon as I finished, he walked up to me, looked me dead straight in the eye and said, “Son, I see something in you, but I don’t know what it is. If you come here twice a month maybe we can find that something.”
And ladies and gentlemen, I discovered I could speak and I love speaking and that led me to become a teacher. I know what it’s like to not have enough money in your bank account. I know what it’s like to worry when the bills start coming in. And sometimes in the middle of the night, I wake up my beautiful wife and ask her “Honey, why did you marry me?”
She says, “I saw something in you, but I still I don’t know what it is”
Ladies and gentlemen, today I’m a dreamer, I’m a speaker and I learned the unfailing quality of unconditional love from my wife.
I was broken and I’ve been broken, lost and broke many times in my life, but the people in my life were able to reach into the trash can and make me whole again. If it was up to me, I would have never been able to do that. And this is why if you have great people in your life, no matter how broke, how lost or how broken you become they can piece you back together.
Ladies and gentlemen, when I look at you I see something in you, but I don’t know what it is.
Over to you.

you should definitely see the speech "power of words" of Mohamed Qahtani
🤣🤣
😂😂
I pronounced his name and my furniture started floating.
Yooo I'm dying!!! Lmao
It's a sri lankan name :) But when we pronounce it in the lankan accent, it doesn't sound like a spell at all
This! 😂😂😂
I had to read the name again to make sure
Lolz
After 6 years I'm still amazed by this speech. As a Sri Lankan I'm very proud
Me too
As a srilankan

Same to me..as a sri lankan...🇱🇰🇱🇰
Since 2014, I've not seen a World Championship speech that moves me like this one. I've seen it many times, I know where he's going, I know the ending, and yet it moves me every time. Just brilliant.
the pauses are immaculate
same thing with me...have seen it over 10 times i guess and its still new everytime i come accross it
He is amazing but I think the 2015 winner mohamed qahtani was the best I have seen, the whole crowd were engaged throughout
Same here
He is incredible
1) engaging start using props
2) story telling (comedy)
3) moral of the story
4) cyclical finish back to the props
5) inside joke conclusion
It was amazing
A worthy champion🏆

Change your video settings which you uploaded.
It's made for kids that's the reason people can't comment on it.

well hi
I love this... watching this for the first time, you'll never know what's coming or how the story gonna is gonna end. You'll end up laughing at intervals, keeping eyes out for flaws and lapses and at the end of the video, realize you just watched something truly amazing, maybe the greatest speech on TH-cam.
This speech was given to me 2 weeks ago as an assignemt in class, never did I imagine the impact it would have in me. I've forwarded it to people I care about, people I know are going through it. This speech just moved me in a way that has me really loving myself, I see something in me!

My grandfather's name is D.R.Hetiarachy. He came from Ceylon and settled in Malaysia. He is no more with me. I don't know any of his relations in Ceylon. I like this Hetiarachy 's speech. His name brought back memories of my grandfather. God bless you young man. May you be happy and successful in life. 🍁🙏🍁
I feel so special this came on my recommended list. Perhaps the Universe saw something in me and with the love and support from all of you, I'll be able to gather the pieces together and see that something in me. Thank you for all the love, prayers and best wishes. Truly blessed.
And to all those undergoing through a challenging time and not knowing what to do, be assured that I see something in you. May you overcome through it at the earliest.

Hello
Something I have been in search for quite sometime is a connection with somebody that goes beyond vanity. It's very hard to do in this day and age. People can be, somewhat very superficial.
On my quest to achieve this I have learnt a lot about human nature. It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people.
While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there. Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there.
I've been in the process of change for a while now and I have made some decent changes but don't you just hate it when people can't let go of your past mistakes.
I saw your profile and it intrigued me. I wanted to learn more about who you are and what type of path you would like on in life. Can we talk?
New Bernie Mac 😂
I had never seen this before, and I never would have seen it if it weren't for my instructor assigning us to watch it. The speaker is really incredible. He delivered a superb speech with ease. We are all unique in different ways, which is really inspirational. One of my favorite portions of his speech was when he stated, "My fellow flowers," as if to say that we are all flowers with various fragrances.
Hi baby how are you doing now i hope you are really doing good you are awesome looking at you baby makes happy when I look at your picture it is beyond my imagination that a creature like you really exist like a rose you make the garden so beautiful You are a diamond to any man that have eyes to see goodness of a womanhood Baby am Ben easy going person very understandable Am a civil engineer and a contractor I work at so many places like Asia Europe and Africa I love art craft and I write music I like ideal people when I see your picture am impress I want a good woman that understand what real love is all about who will understand me and perfectly be for me So we can build our world strong enough to care for each other I want you to be mine and I hope to hear from you soonest thanks
you are all mental
This is something extraordinary, I listen it regularly and yet it everytime amazes me.
I’ve been ignoring this in my recommended for 6 months now, TH-cam really wanted to show this to me because it must see something in me...
Same here it's recommending me for a month now
but it doesn't know what it is
Yeah I also hahabha
Not You to!! :D
Maybe it knew you'd be there in one of its video someday🤩
He recently gave a keynote speech in our Toastmasters convention. Definitely one of the best motivational speakers I have met. 👍👍
Can you provide the link of that speech?
Every year I must come back to rewatch this presentation 😊
I watched this video for the first time today. And it made me laugh, made me think, and made me cry too! Best 7 minutes of an amazing experience, today! I liked this video. I bookmarked this too. And of course, I subscribed. I see something in you Dananjaya Hettiarachchi. You are a charismatic, authentic, and awesome human being! Thank you for reminding me to appreciate all the people who helped me and those who saw something in me. I wish you the best!
Who's watching in 2024 February?

Really he is very good ... respect from india
Bravo, Mr. Hettiarachchi. Your country must be really proud of you. It is no wonder why you are held as the champion. Your speech delivery was remarkable and entertaining. I have noticed that you really love speaking. Your way of delivering your words can be seen with the emotion you have given to the audience. All the words you have chosen are only suitable to entertain the viewers, not to mention that with your skills you have inspired many students, especially those who are in the field of English teaching. Keep up the good work, sir, and I hope you will inspire many students in the future. Your video is very much recommended. God bless you, and live well!
Before every big presentation, I would watch this video and other winning speeches again and again. Really helps.
Not just the speech, but the gestures, even the triumphant finger in the air at the end which signaled, "beat that"
Beautiful.
Brilliant!
Wow - a marvelous opening - memorable use of visual aids - beautiful flow from opening into the body of the speech - superbly crafted language - superlative timing - stupendous rapport with audience - arresting storytelling - staggering self-confidence - delightful humour - glorious celebration.
Next time: maybe say "Ladies & Gentlemen & Talk Show for Talkers"
Otherwise carry on speaking in the same vein - changing the world for us all
Wow - what a worthy winner, and a wonderful human being.
I had the pleasure of speaking with Dananjaya on the "The Talk Show For Talkers" on
www.irishradiointernational.com
comes across as humble, sincere and generous with his time. Truly a World Champion!
Ted Mellamphy true
cried, laughed and learned..
Me too the same feeling!
@@danieljacob5606 why did you write felling? Not fell?
The way he has explained it’s so good to listen, one of my favourite podcast it is
The way he deliver his speevh was very catchy. His chosen words of the speech was sound pleasing and not the vague for the audience. I can say he's really great at speaking in public and delivering his words with emotions!👏🏻
*Being able to know how, when and who to ask for help is more powerful than living 100 lives!*
Dananjaya, I was there. Time flies so fast.
Unfortunately, I did not progress much. I think it is time for me to reconsider, re-think, re-plan to make better progress in my life, my career and my family.
Sometimes people see something in us that we can't see in ourselves, however the point is that we need to make a move, take the very first step. It's the first step of moving forward that may actually be the most difficult, letting go of what's holding us back. Else, they really don’t know what it is. 👦
Thanks for putting this masterpiece out here.
This is simply one of the best speeches I've ever heard 😍😍
You were my inspiration back then in high school when I first time participating in speech competition. I followed your delivering style and it brought the 1st place for me. Thank you sir❤
This is my #1 Favorite Toastmasters Presentation and I would dare say one of the best to grace the World Championship Stage. Nearly flawless!
💜Keep the lord first.

@@harunsheikh8520Yeah !
Everyone wishes to be a good speaker but no one wanting to be a good listener?
to be able to listen you need high state of consciousness and that is a rare thing , not many have it :) , cos to be able to listen you need hearth and compassion , and not many have that :)
@@divedeepinside-JK your so philosophical :")
@Staying Sober truth
i always wanted to be a good listener since i am a kid and i know many others that do to, "everyone" and "Noone" is black and white thinking that generates a lot of problems, I hope you "listen" to this message to realize that the world is more than just black and white, colors exists and they are beautiful, just because you may not see them doesn't mean they don't exist
greetings from germany
Great point! ;-) I was actually searching YT for great examples of "listening" instead of talking.. IMO many are confusing listening with agreeing/submitting/ to others
He is a Sri Lankan !!! I’m proud of that and I’m pretty sure his cool dad also sri lankan😍
Of course he would be!

100%!!!
I applaud you, Mr. Hettiarachchi. You must be quite proud of your nation. It is understandable why people view you as the best. Your delivery of the speech was impressive and fun! The emotion you sent to the audience can be noticed in the way you delivered your words. In addition to inspiring many students, you did a very great job at it! Keep up the wonderful effort, sir, and I hope you'll continue to motivate more people especially teens. I would surely recommend this to my friends and loved ones so that they can also realize and be inspired by your words. Godspeed and may you continue to inspire others more!
I am so inspired by this speech. No matter how many times are you broken, lost, you still can come back being special. Thanks! A wonderful speech!
Hey Dananjaya, great speech. In fact why this speech was made the winning speech is the fact that it was your life experience and circumstance that is narrated through your oration skills which you mastered from Toastmasters. You made Sri Lanka proud.
8 years past still no better speech than this in the history of Toastmaster International Speech. Now i see that something
this speech is so powerful 🌹

As a Sri Lankan, I'm genuinely proud of you ❤. This is the bestest speech in all time 😊
I really enjoy that speech every time i watch it as if it's my first time to see it :)
Wishing you all the success
Love it, Dananjaya. I started my Toastmasters journey only in Oct 2019. This one is one of the best speeches I've ever watched. I've become your fan. Keep rocking and inspiring your fans.

You may have heard no of lovely speeches in your life.. Put them all together and you have this speech ❤ I love it
So proud of you, wish you all the best, you can win the world with your voice...!
Man!!! You are inspiring, I woke up in the middle of the night doing my research and I saw your speech its really amazing...... May God bless ya
I used to be terrified of public speaking before. Then I went to college and as part of the curriculum, I had to speak and make presentations in front of a large class of fellow students and professors. The first few minutes were tense, I felt my hands trembling holding the microphone, my legs feeling a little unsteady, my heart thumping out of my chest. However, in a few minutes, all that was gone and I had the audience with me. That's when I knew I loved this.

Same. I took theater arts for a semester in college, (attended the speech club in college) and finally now make totally raw and impromptu podcasts without any jump cuts or edits.
Although I will not even scratch the surface to this guy's ability I realize that with practice anything is possible. I am very self-conscious about my voice and accent and even talking fast and mumbling.... but all these tweaks made me more confident.
This kept me hooked for the entire 7 odd minutes. Would like to mention something though - if you have great people around you who genuinely value you, are your well wishers and try to bring the best in you, be grateful to the universe(and to those people of course) as not everyone have them. But in any case, your life is YOUR responsibility and you yourself need to find a way out of the mess life at times put you in. Let's not wait for any angel to sort things out for you. Be your own angel. Thanks for reading. Hope you have a good life.
Beautiful delivery combined with charm and seamless story telling 👏🏾✨🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️
saw this for the first time today changed my life

how has it effected your life up to now?
Brilliant. Profound. I actually fought back a tear watching this
Thank you,
Your words really hit deep in my heart.
I really need this kind of story. 🙏🙏
I thoroughly enjoyed every word of this speech from Mr. Dananjaya Hettiarachchi. He was fantastic!
A simple text crafted intelligently to conform to judging criteria to maximize scoring and not to speak of the natural, smooth delivery. The prop (rose) played a pivotal role in providing the speech with an attention grabbing opening and an effective conclusion. The lacing of humor and engaging the audience with questions also played a role in maximizing scoring. The best part of course is the simple, natural delivery without extravagant gestures and body language.

@@casioamplifier that's not what the saying is though, the real saying is "blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" .this actually means that the people you fought with have a stronger connection than your actual blood relatives, which gives it the opposite meaning to what you said.
