Honourable guest, respected headmaster, beloved teachers and my dear friends, a warm good morning to all of you present here. I am delighted to be here to speak a few words about my turning point in life.  

You know life is a mixture of happiness and sorrows. I struggled a lot in my life. We should face hardships boldly and courageously. It is the success of my life. When I was young, I fell into a bad company which spoiled my life completely. I spent my money on gambling and betting. I had to steal money for gambling from my office. I had to do a lot of wrong doings to flourish my life.  Later I could realize that it was a great mistake in my life. The kindness and affection of a landlady and the doctor brought me back to my life.  I could survive all these strenuous periods of my life with much dedication and conviction.  The doctor is my hero and I enjoyed his kindness and generosity immeasurably. He gave me the right direction and proper guidance to lead a fruitful life. I thank him profusely for saving my life. We should not spoil our life only for mere pleasure. We should understand the real value and meaning of life. Let me conclude my short speech. Thank you and have a nice day.
