An excerpt from my speech:
It is quite depressing seeing how pointless our lives are. We wake up at 6, we arrive at school, we learn, we eat, we excrete waste, we sleep. For around 20 or more years until we switch school to say work, wherever that may be. And then what? we grow old, we reproduce, and then we die. Such a simple life for the most conscient and complex organism on this planet. our lives are as insignificant as the single ant in the colony of billions. and I must ask you, why? why do we pointlessly wander on? why do we enjoy the scenes around us, blissfully ignorant of our imminent death. the thought alone, that we waste our lives doing absolutely nothing, is enough to drive any man crazy. Teenagers worry about what others are doing: “is my hair ok?” or “did you hear so and so”. There are people who are immortal already in our world. Albert Einstein is a great example. Immortality is not just the ability to live forever. It can be a legacy left behind. From Steve Jobs as a pioneer of innovative technology, to the Wright brothers with air travel, legacies are created everyday. Now, what is your legacy?
