The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination-By J.K Rowling

In recent times Bollywood actor SRK Shahrukh Khan have or not ended into controversies on stealing the lines from J.K Rowling authentic speeches.

I was totally stunned of people discussing such a petty issues. Well I like the speech whether its from SRK or from J.K.Rowling. It teaches you something and gives some amount of vision and gather courage to lead a way of life. In practical terms it is difficult to embibe the true sense but sometimes it works.


Life is not just a checklist of acquisitions,attaintments and fulfilments.Your qualifications and CV's don't matter.Your job don't matter.Instead , life is difficult and complicated,sometimes beyond your control, and to know that with humility,respecting your failures will help you survive its vicissitudes.

Al Pacino Speech City Hall Movie Best Dialogue Delivery Ever!

I was warned not to come here.

I was warned. They warned me:

'Don't stand behind that coffin.' But why should I heed such a warning, when a heartbeat is silent and a child lies dead?

'Don't stand behind this coffin.'                     

That boy was as pure and as innocent as the driven snow.                     

But I must stand here because I have not given you what you should have.

Until we can walk abroad and recreate ourselves, until we can stroll along the streets like boulevards, congregate in parks free from fear, our families mingling, our children laughing, our hearts joined - until that day, we have no city. You can label me a failure until that day.

The first and perhaps only great mayor was Greek. He was Pericles of Athens, and he lived some 2,500 years ago, and he said: 'All things good of this Earth flow into the City, because of the City's greatness.'                     

Well, we were great once. Can we not be great again?

Now, I put that question to James Bone, and there's only silence.

Yet could not something pass from this sweet youth to me?

Could he not empower me to find in myself the strength to have the knowledge to summon up the courage to accomplish this seemingly insurmountable task of making a city livable?

Just livable.

There was a palace that was a city. It was a palace! It was a palace, and it can be a palace again!

A palace, in which there is no king or queen, or dukes or earls or princes, but subjects all. Subjects beholden to each other, to make a better place to live.
 
Is that too much to ask?...
 
 Are we asking too much for this?...
 
Is it beyond our reach?...
 
Because if it is, then we are nothing but sheep being herded to the final slaughterhouse!
 
I will not go down, that way! I choose to fight back!
 
I choose to rise, not fall!

I choose to live, not die! And I know, I know that what's within me is also within you. That's why I ask you now to join me. Join me, rise up with me, rise up on the wings of this slain angel...

We'll rebuild on the soul of this little warrior. We will pick up his standard and raise it high! Carry it forward until this city - your city - our city - his city - is a palace of God! Is a palace of God! I am with you, little James. I am you.

Al Pacino's Inspirational Speech either we heal now, as a team,

 

I don't know what to say really.
Three minutes
to the biggest battle of our professional lives
all comes down to today.
Either
we heal
as a team
or we are going to crumble.
Inch by inch
play by play
till we're finished.
We are in hell right now, gentlemen
believe me
and
we can stay here
and get the shit kicked out of us
or
we can fight our way
back into the light.
We can climb out of hell.
One inch, at a time.

Now I can't do it for you.
I'm too old.
I look around and I see these young faces
and I think
I mean
I made every wrong choice a middle age man could make.
I uh....
I pissed away all my money
believe it or not.
I chased off
anyone who has ever loved me.
And lately,
I can't even stand the face I see in the mirror.

You know when you get old in life
things get taken from you.
That's, that's part of life.
But,
you only learn that when you start losing stuff.
You find out that life is just a game of inches.
So is football.
Because in either game
life or football
the margin for error is so small.
I mean
one half step too late or to early
you don't quite make it.
One half second too slow or too fast
and you don't quite catch it.
The inches we need are everywhere around us.
They are in ever break of the game
every minute, every second.

On this team, we fight for that inch
On this team, we tear ourselves, and everyone around us
to pieces for that inch.
We CLAW with our finger nails for that inch.
Cause we know
when we add up all those inches
that's going to make the fucking difference
between WINNING and LOSING
between LIVING and DYING.

I'll tell you this
in any fight
it is the guy who is willing to die
who is going to win that inch.

And I know
if I am going to have any life anymore
it is because, I am still willing to fight, and die for that inch
because that is what LIVING is.
The six inches in front of your face.

Now I can't make you do it.
You gotta look at the guy next to you.
Look into his eyes.
Now I think you are going to see a guy who will go that inch with you.
You are going to see a guy
who will sacrifice himself for this team
because he knows when it comes down to it,
you are gonna do the same thing for him.

That's a team, gentlemen
and either we heal now, as a team,
or we will die as individuals.

That's football guys.
That's all it is.

Now, whattaya gonna do?

Al Pacino's Devils Advocate Dialogues about GOD.

Kevin
What do you want from me?

John- Al Pacino
I want you to be yourself.

You know, I'll tell you boy, Guilt is like a bag of fucking bricks.

All you got to do is set it down. Who are you carrying all those bricks for? God?

Is that it? God? Well, I'll tell you.

Let me give you a little inside information about God.

God likes to watch.

He's a prankster!

Think about it.

He gives men instincts.

He gives you this extraordinary gift, and

then, what does He do? I swear, for His own amusement,

His own private, cosmic gag reel,

He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time.

Look but don't touch.

Touch but don't taste.

Taste but don't swallow.

And while you're jumping from one foot to the next, what is He doing? He's laughing his sick, fucking ass off.

He's a tightass! He's a sadist! He's an absentee landlord. Worshiup that? Never!

"Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven," is that it?

About Women and War!

I've been finding ways to improve my communication and conversational skills. There are many sites which talks about it and lay down rules to work upon that. Trust me you'll indeed like my suggestion to go about it. There are few good movies which will really help you to improve your vocabalary, american accent & pronounciation. The dialogue delivery with pause and the way we have to narrate can be learnt is only through watching and listening carefully the good english movies.

that first swallow
of wine...
after you just crossed
the desert.

T---ts ! Whoo-ah !
Big ones, little ones,

ni&&&()les staring
right out at ya...
Iike secret searchlights.

Mmm.

And legs --
I don't care if
they're Greek columns...
or secondhand Steinways.
What's between 'em,
passport to heaven.

there's only two syllables
in this whole wide world worth hearing:

p........sy.

Dialoques:

Cutter:

Every magic trick consists of three parts, or acts. The first part is called the pledge, the magician shows you something ordinary. The second act is called the turn, the magician takes the ordinary something and makes it into something extraordinary. But you wouldn't clap yet, because making something disappear isn't enough. You have to bring it BACK. Now you're looking for the secret. But you won't find it because of course, you're not really looking. You don't really want to work it out. You want to be fooled.

Email Meeting Organiser Tips

Canceling a Meeting

If you are the meeting organizer, then there are times when you have to cancel a meeting. Here are some sentences you can use for this situation.

"There are four people who will not be able to attend the meeting tomorrow. I am going to reschedule the meeting to a more convenient time."
"The director asked that we postpone the finance meeting until the quarterly report comes out. So I'll send an update with the new date and time later this week."

Some meetings are weekly meetings that occur at the same time. It is common that these meetings are canceled when there is nothing to talk about.

"There is nothing new to discuss this week, so we are going to cancel this week's agenda meeting."

"I am running late this morning. Let's postpone the meeting until the afternoon."
"I can't make it in tomorrow, so let's cancel this week's meeting. I'll email everyone if something new comes up."
