Bollywood star turned talk show host Aamir Khan talks about the cultural taboos
he illuminates through his innovative TV show Satyamev Jayate, which has garnered
an audience of 500 million.
he has established Pani foundation with his wife which solve water problems in
village area.
The topic is Learn English with Aamir Khan For a Better India.
Through his career spanning over thirty years in Hindi films, Khan has established
himself as one of the most popular and influential actors of Indian cinema.
In this Speech, he also quotes: “The huge majority of Indians just loved the show
and that speaks a lot for what is India is today.
India wants to change. India is ready for change.”
he shares about his idea comes with his friend Satyajit Bhatkal who was the
director of the show.
His quote “I do what I feel is right. I do not fear to walk on a new path and take
risk.” Aamir Khan
You know, I’ve always felt that there are two ways of bringing about change.
One is top-down; when you make laws and you tell people to follow them. Now you
make policies and you expect people to follow them and the other way.
Sometimes is works but sometimes, a lot of times, it doesn’t.
I think the other way is a longer route, but I think that is what we have chosen to
do and that is to reach out to people’s hearts.
Not with anger but with love, and you know try and transform minds at young age.
Female Feticide
He says: “Let’s take a look at how we’re treating our mothers today” and we meet
our first guest, who is a mother, who’s been through eight abortions in six years.
Forced abortions by her mother and in-laws and husband and so when you’re looking
at her and hearing her story,
you’re looking at a mother and what a mother goes through and then of course what a
woman goes through when she’s, you know, forced to go through an abortion.
He took 1st episode a very strong emotional connect, is what we felt and that’s why
we chose female feticide as a first episode.

Deepika Padukone
Deepika is an Indian film actress and producer. One of the highest-paid actresses
in India, She is the founder of Triple L Foundation –i.e The Live, Love and Laugh.
But as you also know, mental health is the most neglected and people with mental
health face severe human rights violations, stigma and discrimination.
But only that. Around 80% of them, people with mental health conditions, do not
have access to the mental health care they need.
so, the problem is really, really serious and for someone like Deepika to really
taken on this big cause is, for WHO.
I hope this kind of moment will increase the awareness, improve the awareness and
help people think about the innermost problem that people are facing,
especially with mental health.
Deepika is one of the souls actually who saved herself. I think from her story many
young people can learn. We are losing a lot – 8 lakh a year.
mental problems is one of the largest killers of young people.
So let me give this in two perspectives. One is say for someone like me who is
experiencing anxiety and depression.
I think if I feel certain signs and symptoms… whether it’s restlessness, whether
it’s not being able to sleep, sleeping too much or lack of sleep,
whether it’s irregular —
— Your eating patterns. Are you eating less or are you eating more? Are you feeling
a sense of sadness or low for a prolonged period of time?
I think it’s very important to understand the difference between sadness and
depression. Sadness is something that we all go through in our lives
for various reasons. Death, failure of an exam, heartbreak. I think sadness is
transient.
Depression is not transient. I think depression sort of lasts for a much longer
period of time and I think that’s when you realize that
it’s important at that very moment to share with somebody that you are close to. It
could be a friend. It could be a colleague.
It could be a family member. It could be a sibling. But I think the first step
really is to share with somebody around you how you are feeling.

Sadhguru
“Love is your quality. Love is not what you do. Love is what you are.”
consciousness - The state of being able to use your senses and mental powers to
understand what is happening
He spoke about the right kind of thoughts, emotions, attitudes, and to some extent
actions. There is no consciousness in this.
You can learn many things from the past about how to conduct yourself. But there is
nothing to learn from the past about how to be.
Because you are a complete life by yourself. You don’t have to learn how to be a
life from the past.
Maybe you have to learn how to be a good engineer. Maybe you have to learn how to
be something else in the society from the past.
But you don’t have to learn how to be a life from the past, because past has
nothing to do with this. This is a fresh life, and this is a complete life.
Consciousness is that dimension, which is the very source of who we are.
Our intentions, our actions, our thoughts, and our attitudes are a consequence of
that. Or in other words, we are trying to fix the consequence without
fixing the source. Now all these distinctions of variety of things that they said,
gender discriminations, racial discriminations, every kind, OK?
Somebody is Hindu, somebody is a Muslim, somebody is a Googler– it becomes a
religion after some time, believe me. Second generation,
they will become a religion by themselves. Yes.
people are in such a state of mental diarrhea all the time. Nonstop it’s going on.
They think it’s more of an existence than existence.
But my head is all the time empty unless I want to think about something.
So I know a thought is not necessary. I can just live here without a thought. When
I want, I will think. Otherwise, I’ll keep quiet.
Just like my hand– if I want to use it, otherwise I keep it here.
The analogy of the tree of life - the roots, the trunk, and the crown, delivered by
His Holiness Gaur Gopal Prabhu at the Radiant Wellness Conclave 2016.
Gaur Gopal Das is a personal coach, monk, lifestyle & motivational strategist,
sharing deeper spiritual insights with the world.
Every country has a USP, a unique selling proposition.In the United States of
America has a USP: Liberty, freedom, comfort for the citizens.
United Kingdom has a USP: Royalty, the supremacy of the Queen.Japan has a USP:
technology. The Middle East has a USP: Oil.
India also has a USP,we are known for our sparing nature, we are not super-
wealthy,
India is known for Bollywood, cricket,its beautiful architecture, magnificent
edifices,its Himalayas,its literary(ˈlidəˌrerē) contributions.
India is known to be a developing economy now.
But what India is especially known for on this planet Earth is its unique
contribution in the field of spirituality.
Wherever he travel in the world, he see people glorifying, talking about
eulogizing(यूलजाइज़) the principle of spirituality that comes from this great land:
Bharat Bhumi.
People from America,Europe and different parts of the world come to India to see
the beauty of India.
His spiritual mentors, his Holiness Sacinandana Swami, who was a German by birth,
once told me. It’s a beautiful analogy; it’s called The Tree of Life.
A tree has three aspects to it, essentially. One is the roots; the second is the
trunk, and third is the crown of the tree.
The most essential parts of the tree is its roots.Our achievements,our gadgets,our
money,Our accolades,Our charisma,Our success are seen to people.
What’s not seen to the eyes of the people is our roots, our spiritual
development.Those roots are compared to our spirituality.
If we do not work on what is unseen, it’s very difficult to sustain what is seen.
Abdul Kalam Ji said a very nice thing which left a deep mark on me. He said, if you
really want to look handsome, give your hand to some.
And you will automatically look handsome because handsomeness is not about beauty
and looks, it’s about how we contribute to people.
2nd The TRUNK which is about cultivation of emotional and physical wellness,
emotional stability. Do not allow others to remote-control you.
And three, the CROWN is about contribution. Giving, returning back, a sense of
purpose, because the purpose of life.
Thus, the Tree of Life teaches us three things: connection, cultivation, and
contribution.
In this Speech, he also quotes: "If you don’t keep yourself in place, you can’t
help others. If you don’t have resources, you can’t share your resources.
If you don’t feel loved, you can’t share love. If you don’t feel hoped, you can’t
give hope. If you don’t feel uplifted, you can’t uplift others.
Therefore be selfish first. Care for your roots".
I conclude by saying, if you are beautiful, it’s God’s gift to you. If you live
your life beautiful, it’s your gift to God.
I wish to thank all of you very, very much for your kind attention. Thank you very
much.

Ratan Tata
The name amongst those businessmen who achieved a unpredictable success and made
India great and self reliant in automobile industry. Indian Will always
glad of his work which has been done by him.
He is the recipient of two of the highest civilian awards of India, the Padma
Vibhushan (2008) and Padma Bhushan (2000).
He is well known for his business ethics and philanthropy.
Ratan Tata sir is a good person and humble personality.We are very proud of having
such kind of person in India.
He portrays the world over the true meaning of business with humanity. A true
legend.A man of Vision! 💓. Not self profit oriented like other bussinessman!
The difference between Ambani and sir Ratan Tata is that Ambani's are businessmen
but sir TaTa is industrialist.
A businessman's works only for their own greed whereas industrialist's always
believes in development of mankind as a whole. India has many businessmen
but sir Ratan Tata is key jwel in the crwon.
None can destroy iron, but its own rust can. Likewise, none can destroy a person,
but his own mindset can.”- RATAN TATA
“Make a difference once in your life.” Ratan Tata
During Ratan Tata's chairmanship of 21 years, revenues grew over 40 times, and
profit, over 50 times.He got Tata Tea to acquire Tetley,
Tata Motors to acquire Jaguar Land Rover, and Tata Steel to acquire Corus, in an
attempt to turn Tata from a largely India-centrist group into a global business.
He decided that India could produce its own car. Everybody his friends overseas in
the automobile business said that this couldn’t be done.
We had to go through collaboration to get know how to get technology that we
undertake to produce this car.
IndiCa produced in India, totally of Indian content. As we got close to putting in
the market my friends in India somewhat distanced themselves from me,
otherwise known as distancing yourself from failure.
And when the car came out He suddenly felt that he didn’t have a friend in the
world and all the warnings that people had given me were probably going to come
true.
But the car did come out. It did earn a 20% market share.
In this Speech, he also quotes: "The greatest pleasure I've had is trying to do
something that everybody says could not be done.
He decided that India could produce its own car. Everybody my friends overseas in
the automobile business said that this couldn't be done."

Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something, but especially not
yourself,“ Kaling told the Class of 2018
She told a personal story. After her daughter was born in December, when she bring
her home and being in her house with her for the first time and thinking,
“Huh. According to movies and TV, this is traditionally the time when my mother and
spouse are supposed to be here, sharing this experience with her.”
And She looked around, and She had neither. And for a moment, it was kind of scary.
and she was thinking Like, “Can I do this by myself?”
But then, that feeling went away, because the reality is, I’m not doing it by
myself. She was surrounded by family and friends who love and support her.
And the joy she felt from being with her daughter Katherine eclipses anything from
any crazy checklist.
She graduated. And she made a new checklist for her twenties: get married by 27,
have kids at 30, win an Oscar, be the star of my own TV show,
host the MTV Music Awards
I just want to tell you guys, don’t be scared if you don’t do things in the right
order, or if you don’t do some things at all.
I didn’t think I’d have a child before I got married, but hey, it turned out that
way, and I wouldn’t change a thing.
I didn’t think I’d have dessert before breakfast today.
So if I could impart any advice, it’s this: If you have a checklist, good for you.
Structured ambition can sometimes be motivating. But also, feel free to let it go.
Yes, my culminating advice from my speech is a song from the Disney animated movie,
Frozen.
I was not someone who should have the life I have now, and yet I do. I was sitting
in the chair you are literally sitting in right now and I just whispered,
“Why not me?” And I kept whispering it for seventeen years; and here I am, someone
that this school deemed worthy enough to speak to you at your Commencement.
Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something, but especially not yourself.
Go conquer the world. Just remember this: Why not you? You made it this far.
You have to have insane confidence in yourself, even if it’s not real.
Siddhartha Mukherjee is best known for his 2011 Pulitzer Prize-winning book, The
Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer.
It was turned into a three-part documentary by Ken Burns and included among Time
magazine’s 100 best nonfiction books of the past century.
He is the author of five books, including Start With Why. In this Speech, he also
quotes: “Go get out of your heads and go out into the world and listen to it.
In the early 1950s, the mortality rate from childhood lymphoblastic leukemia –
cancer of white blood cells – was 100 percent. Every child diagnosed with leukemia
died.
The illness was called a “suppuration of blood”: because doctors thought that the
blood had somehow suddenly turned rotten, and, like spoiled milk,
there was no way of turning it back.

As we remember their sacrifice, so we should also remember how the shift in Europe
from war to sustained peace came about.
It did not happen like a change in the weather. It happened because of determined
work over generations. A commitment to friendship and a resolve never to
re-visit that dark past – a commitment epitomised(/ɪˈpɪtəmaɪz/) by the Elysee
Treaty signed 50 years ago this week.
After the Berlin Wall came down I visited that city and I will never forget it.
So I want to speak to you today with urgency and frankness about the European Union
and how it must change – both to deliver prosperity and to retain the support
of its peoples.
For us, the European Union is a means to an end – prosperity, stability, the anchor
of freedom and democracy both within Europe and beyond her shores – not an end in
itself.
For all our connections to the rest of the world – of which we are rightly proud –
we have always been a European power – and we always will be.
Over the years, Britain has made her own, unique contribution to Europe. We have
provided a haven to those fleeing tyranny and persecution.
And in Europe’s darkest hour, we helped keep the flame of liberty alight. Across
the continent, in silent cemeteries, lie the hundreds of thousands of
British servicemen who gave their lives for Europe’s freedom.
In more recent decades, we have played our part in tearing down the Iron Curtain
and championing the entry into the EU of those countries that lost
so many years to Communism. And contained in this history is the crucial point
about Britain, our national character, our attitude to Europe.
his is Britain today, as it’s always been:Independent, yes – but open, too.
I never want us to pull up the drawbridge and retreat from the world.
I don’t just want a better deal for Britain. I want a better deal for Europe too.
So I speak as British Prime Minister with a positive vision for the future of the
European Union. A future in which Britain wants, and should want,
to play a committed and active part.
First, the problems in the Eurozone are driving fundamental change in Europe.
Second, there is a crisis of European competitiveness, as other nations across the
world soar ahead. And third, there is a gap between the EU and
its citizens which has grown dramatically in recent years. And which represents a
lack of democratic accountability and consent that is – yes –
felt particularly acutely in Britain.
If we don’t address these challenges, the danger is that Europe will fail and the
British people will drift towards the exit.
I do not want that to happen. I want the European Union to be a success. And I want
a relationship between Britain and the EU that keeps us in it.
I say we have.
We believe in a flexible union of free member states who share treaties and
institutions and pursue together the ideal of co-operation. To represent and
promote the values of European civilisation in the world. To advance our shared
interests by using our collective power to open markets.
And to build a strong economic base across the whole of Europe.
And we believe in our nations working together to protect the security and
diversity of our energy supplies. To tackle climate change and global poverty.
To work together against terrorism and organised crime. And to continue to welcome
new countries into the EU.
This vision of flexibility and co-operation is not the same as those who want to
build an ever closer political union – but it is just as valid.
My third principle is that power must be able to flow back to Member States, not
just away from them. This was promised by European Leaders at Laeken a decade ago.
My fifth principle is fairness: whatever new arrangements are enacted for the
Eurozone, they must work fairly for those inside it and out.
I know there will be those who say the vision I have outlined will be impossible to
achieve. That there is no way our partners will co-operate.
That the British people have set themselves on a path to inevitable exit.
And that if we aren’t comfortable being in the EU after 40 years, we never will
be.
But I refuse to take such a defeatist attitude – either for Britain or for Europe.
Because with courage and conviction I believe we can deliver a more flexible,
adaptable and open European Union in which the interests and ambitions of
all its members can be met.
With courage and conviction I believe we can achieve a new settlement in which
Britain can be comfortable and all our countries can thrive.
And when the referendum comes let me say now that if we can negotiate such an
arrangement, I will campaign for it with all my heart and soul.
Because I believe something very deeply. That Britain’s national interest is best
served in a flexible, adaptable and open European Union and that such
a European Union is best with Britain in it.
Over the coming weeks, months and years, I will not rest until this debate is won.
For the future of my country. For the success of the European Union.
And for the prosperity of our peoples for generations to come.”

THERESA MAY: Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Britain, the Great
Meritocracy,
Theresa Mary May is a British politician serving as Prime Minister of the United
Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party since 2016.
In this speech, Theresa explained her vision for a truly meritocratic Britain and
reforms that will ensure there is a good school place for every child.
“In tough times, everyone has to take their share of the pain.” Theresa May
I want Britain to be the world’s great meritocracy – a country where everyone has a
fair chance to go as far as their talent and their hard work will allow.
I want us to be a country where everyone plays by the same rules; where ordinary,
working class people have more control over their lives and
the chance to share fairly in the prosperity of the nation.
For when you are working 2 jobs and struggling to make ends meet, it is no good
being told that you can choose a better school for your children if you move to
a different area or pay to go private.
Those aren’t choices that you can make. And they are not choices that you should
have to make.
we also need to change our philosophy and approach, because at the moment the
school system works if you’re well off and can buy your way into
the school you want, and it provides extra help and support if you’re from a
disadvantaged family.
And there are 4 specific proposals I want to talk about today that I believe will
help.
Universities
Firstly, I want to build on the success we have already experienced when some of
our great universities have stepped in to help by sponsoring or
supporting a local school.
These are the kinds of innovation I want to encourage. This kind of active
engagement in building the capacity of our school system is in my view far
more effective than spending huge sums on bursaries and other financial support
that tackle the symptoms but not the cause.
Second, I want to remove the obstacles that stop more good faith schools from
opening.
Britain has a long history of faith schools delivering outstanding education. They
already account for around a third of all mainstream schools in England.
They are popular with parents and significantly more likely than other schools to
be rated by Ofsted as good or outstanding.
Independent schools
Third, I want to encourage some of our biggest independent schools to bring their
knowledge, expertise and resources to bear to help improve the quality
and capacity of schools for those who cannot afford to pay.
This is entirely in keeping with the ethos that lies at the heart of many of these
institutions. Most of the major public schools started out as the route by
which poor boys could reach the professions. The nature of their intake may have
changed today – indeed these schools have become more and more divorced from
normal life.
Selective schools
There is one final area where we have placed obstacles in the way of good new
schools – obstacles that I believe we need to take away.
The debate over selective schools has raged for years. But the only place it has
got us to is a place where selection exists if you’re wealthy –
if you can afford to go private – but doesn’t exist if you’re not. We are
effectively saying to poorer and some of the most disadvantaged children in
our country that they can’t have the kind of education their richer counterparts
can enjoy.
First, there are those who fear this could lead to the return of a binary system,
as we had in the past with secondary moderns. But this fear is unfounded:
there will be no return to secondary moderns.
Second, there are those who argue that selective schools tend to recruit children
from more affluent backgrounds. The problem here is not selective
schools per se but rather the way that wealthier families can already dominate
access to the schools of their choice through selection by house price.
I want to stop that and new grammars can help.
Third, there are those who argue that grammars don’t actually select on ability
because wealthy families can pay tutors to help their children get
through the tests. This might have been the case in the past with the old 11-plus.
But it does not have to be the case today.
Fourth, there are those who worry about the cliff-edge of selection at 11. Some
fear it is too early, some fear it is too late. The truth is that
it doesn’t have to be a cliff-edge at all. This is back in the old mindset of the
grammar schools of the past. A modern, meritocratic education system
needs to be much more flexible and agile to respond to the needs of every child. So
we will demand that new grammars make the most of their freedom to be
flexible over how students move between schools, encouraging this to happen at
different ages such as 14 and 16 as well as 11.
I want to conclude here by saying this in every country politician use to change
Education policy but that will not work in grass root level.

Benedict Cumberbatch Speech has performed in film, television, theatre, and radio.
Make your own, your own world. If you fear, make it work for you — draw & paint
your fear & anxiety. And stop worrying about big,
deep things such as “to decide on a purpose and way of life, a consistant approach
to even some impossible end or even an imagined end.”
You must practice being stupid, dumb, unthinking, empty. Then you will be able to
DO.
you are not responsible for the world — you are only responsible for your work — so
DO IT.

but that is not wholly so. Though I personally will defend the value of
bedtime stories to my last gasp, I have learned to value imagination in a much
broader sense. Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision
that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. In its
arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that
enables us to empathise with humans whose experiences we have never shared.
