The No. # 1 rule for being interesting
The way to be interesting is to be interested.
“To You
Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to meAnd why should I not speak to you?”
- Walt Whitman, ‘Leaves of Grass’
“An actor is one, who if you are not talking about him, is not interested.”
- Marlon Brando
Give people hope and you can become interesting
1. TRYST WITH DESTINY
“To the nations and peoples of the world we send greetings and pledge ourselves to cooperate with them in furthering peace, freedom and democracy.
And to India, our much-loved motherland, the ancient, the eternal and the ever-new, we pay our reverent homage and we bind ourselves afresh to her service.”
- Jawaharlal Nehru, ‘A Tryst with Destiny speech, 1947’
2. WE CAN DO IT
As the Scripture says, “our eyes have not yet seen, nor our ears heard, nor minds imagined” what we can build.
But I can’t do this alone. No President can. We must do it together. It won’t be easy, and it won’t be quick. We didn’t get into this mess overnight, and we won’t get out of it overnight. But we can do it- with commitment, creativity, diversity and drive.
We can do it. We can do it.
We can do it. We can do it. We can do it.
We can do it. We can do it. We can do it.
I want every person in this hall and every person in this land to reach out and join us in a great new adventure, to chart a bold new future.
- Bill Clinton, ‘Acceptance Speech, 1992’
