You were born to be a rainstorm, to be chaotic and be bold, to show there's beauty in knowledge and that you cannot be controlled.

Good morning respected Principal, Senior Vice Principal, Vice Principal (Administration), Vice Principal (Fernhill), Director of Activities (Fernhill), Teachers and my dear friends.

A worthy life begins with right knowledge. But what is right knowledge? Right knowledge is about discovery.

The legendary Brazilian football star, Pele, talks about his knowledge of football in one interview. “I was taught to play football by my father who was a good football player himself. But there was a time in my life when I began to discover the finer knowledge of the game was inside of me. When I played the best I was just true to myself.”

Frank Matobo quotes The good thing about growing up is that you discover yourself. You get to      know what you need and what you don't need.

Who am I? An important question to ask oneself 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days in a year.

  Knowing your true self will help you work more effectively to reach your goals. It will lead you down the road to success. It will bring you a calmness that will improve your attitude and your relationships with others.

How do we cultivate true knowledge? By refining our attention.

The first step is to understand our purpose. What do I stand for? If I stand for nothing, I fall for everything.

Then examine the possibilities. It is an adventure in the field of knowledge.

Learn to do something differently.

Insight, learning within one’s own self is the final step towards right knowledge. This is the most powerful source of knowledge.

Knowledge and action if connected with commitment represents the law of life.

This law of life is a call to creative destruction of old forms – old habits, old patterns of thinking, old customs that are out of tune with reality. This law of life called dharma has enabled leaders transform and stay alive.

So lets transform our life in tune to reality in the process of seeking knowledge. We have abundant resources. Let us use them to the maximum.

I would like to share a powerful story:

A seed was born. It lived a comfortable life within its shell for some time. Then the rains came. The seed got soaked and began to rot. The seed thought to itself: I will die as a seed anyway, so let me create something that will stay alive beyond me. The seed then decided to crack open its shell and transformed itself into a green plant. The plant grew rapidly with the help of the rain and fertile soil. Soon it reached a stage of maturity where it could grow no more in its present form. The plant then transformed itself into a beautiful flower bud. The flower bloomed with the spring. When spring was over, the flower began to wither. No one admired the wilting flower anymore. So the flower decided to transform itself into fragrance. As the smell of the flower spread far and wide, bees began to visit the flower. As a result of this relationship new seeds were born. That old seed which had decided to transform itself came alive again in a million seeds.

So friends, forget all about your negative thinking in this very moment and watch your life shift, your energy will transform and you will start to send out the great vibes that commands respect, love and success.

It is our mind that creates the kind of life we live. If we think positively we will transform our life accordingly. Everything starts from within, from the most simple action to the greatest achievement.

I end my speech with  Kemmy Nola’s  quote : Don't give up,  even if something is worrying you. Make the most of this circumstance and transform every difficulty into a stimulus so that you can go ahead.

Thank you and wishing a successful academic year ahead…
