6 Top motivational speeches every Pakistani must listen to now
These are the kind of top motivational speeches and address that people with a certain level of experience and intelligence, would really appreciate. They would not appeal to Anti-Social Personalities parasitic kind. Also, they wouldn’t help those that are too fixated in their dogma or way of life. Mr. Jordon B Patterson and Ms. J K Rowlings are prophetic in really understanding what would genuinely help people that really listen to what they have to share. They both are highly intuitive, empathetic hearts, no wonder they are best sellers. So listen carefully, my dear Pakistanis this one’s for you.
1. Jordon B Patterson’s 12 Rules of Life.
It all starts from making your bed, every day, first thing in the morning. Love who you are, prioritize yourself and what you want with what is meaningful. Then, then work inwards out in small incremental steps, in silence. You just have to better yourself from yesterday. Learn from people; enjoy kids and the odd cat.
- “Stand up straight with your shoulders back (in your best posture to build self-esteem) 4:30
- Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping (compassion to yourself)16:22
- Make friends with people that want the best for you 22:53
- Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today 25:45
- Don’t let your children do anything that makes you dislike them 37:23
- Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world 48:51
- Pursue what is meaningful (not what is expedient) 58:46

2. J K Rowling’s Harvard Commencement speech
The grand master of fantasy world of Harry Potter believes that failure and intuitive imagination can change you and the world for the better. The usefulness of failure, to find your bearing and using empathy to feel what you can’t yourself physically, is vital for success.
- “Ultimately, we have to decide for ourselves what constitutes failure (or success), but the world is quite eager to give you a set of criteria if you let it
- Failure taught me things about myself that I could never have learnt any other way.
- What we achieve inwards will change our outer reality
- We don’t need magic to transform our world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already; we have the power to image (through empathy and intuition) better
- As a tale, so is life; not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters”

- Define (your) success yourself

- Mathew McConaughey’s personal success 1) Fatherhood 2) Being a good husband 3) Health (mind, body, spirit) 4) Career 5) Friendship
- Process of elimination of the plans that are not working, and don’t leave crumbs (of regret)
- Delay gratification

- Every failed experiment is one step closer to success
- To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did”
5. Steve Jobs Stanford Commencement Addres
“Our time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinion drown out you own inner voice. And the most important, is to have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to be become. Everything else is secondary”
6. Will smith motivation speech
