In this speech, perhaps you could talk about different choices we have in life. You can either do thing a) or thing b). Life is what you make of it: you are responsible for your own choices.

I think you should do your speech on something you know a little about and would like to know more. That why you are not only doing it because you have to but also because at least you will be learning more about something that interests you. :D

Your idea is excellent... now if we merge it with Real World / Road Rules... we will truly have a reality blockbuster on our hands.\n\nI hope Simon Cowell judges the competition, "You are the worst politician I have ever heard in my life.  Don't quit your day job."

The whole idea about life is to be happy and only if the outcome has a benefit you shuld consider changing your plans. Remember it does not matter what people call your or what they think of you, all you should focus is in your self fullfielment and that also does not mean that you have to be a winner or the fastest racer. Look around you there are plenty of great things to be worry about. I always recomend traveling and looking for role model that can influence and inspire your life. Good luck to you and don't hide your feelings deep down you know what to do and is called natural wisdom and we all have it.\nA friend.\nCar

When i took speech last semester, I did my persuasive speech on 'Batman: Greatest Superhero of All Time' \n\nCould insert a different superhero if you don't like Batman- but my speech teacher LOVED this topic. \n\nI have a friend who (this semester) did hers, trying to convince ppl that Star Wars is a religion. I know, its nerdy, but people liked it because it was a nice change of pace.

I have survived alot in my life. Too many personal tradgedies that i overcame got me to be a motivator and Life Coach today. To make a difference to thos are just living and not experiencing life. It is one thing to live, yet another  to experience life. I am a survivor and proud of it. I have to be, God is not ready for me just yet. I need to help too many with my life.

Hey, hows about this?\n\nA day in the life of a tree\n\nImagine that trees could see things. Imagine what a tree would see in 24 hours. A domestic argument, friendships formed and broken...\n\nA simple idea but you could make it brilliant. Maybe I'm being nuts but better than an elaborate idea that has been done to death.

Since I don't know what your hobbies or interests are, my advice is to offer you a few suggestions to guide your thinking as to the choice of topics. In my experience, the best speech you can give is about a subject that: \n\na) you know very well, so that you will have some material to talk about for five minutes. Because this is a persuasive speech, you should think about at least three arguments that support your position on the subject. You may be able to come up with more than three but pick the three strongest ones and go with those. \n \nb) you feel passionately about, so that you will be persuasive. See a) above.  \n\nRemember, when you deliver your speech you become the expert on the subject. Your knowledge and passion about the subject are what will make you persuasive. \n\nSee if you can come up with a list of a few topics just by brainstorming about things that fulfill both criteria above. Then narrow it down to a subject that you feel you can write and talk about.\n   \nLastly, five minutes is not a very long time in terms of speeches, so you might want to practice your speech with a timer so that you can be sure to make it within the time limit. Practice also helps you memorize your speech so you won't need notes, in case you lose them.\n\nGood luck and have fun!

Best thing I learned through four years of acting school was to keep practicing. If you have to do this presentation soon, go to a public place, any place, the mall, the park, where it is fairly crowded. Practice your debate or your side of the debate here. Raise your voice, and give your speech. People will look at you like your insane at first, but you will notice after a while, they will start to ignore you. If you can get comfortable doing this when you give the real debate it will be a piece of cake! It take guts, but try it! It really works! and if you can't do this practice alone, take some friends with you to cheer you on. Stage fright fear is, funny, and powerful, once you get over it, you can wield it like a wizard and use your stage presence to win your audience. Hope you try it and good luck!

"We learn more from the games we loose"\n"How do winners get to where they are today if they never participated?"\n"If you never try for fear of loosing, you have already lost"\n"Those that think that winning is everything may want to stay in a small area where they are the best. They will be the biggest fish in the pond, but never see the ocean."\n"Risk participating in larger ponds and by the time you come back to your old pond, your greater experiences will make it easier to beat the old small pond champion."\n**********************************\nToss a few of these arguements around your debating team and see if inspires other ideas.

story from the little box:-\n\nIt's meaningful....\n\nOnce upon a time, there was a teacher and his student\nlying down under a big tree near a big grass area.\nThen, suddenly, the student asked the teacher,\n\nStudent : Teacher, I'm confused, how can we find our soul-mate?\nCould you please help me?\n\nTeacher : (Silent for few second, than he answered)\n\nWell, it's a pretty hard and easy question.\n\nStudent : (Thinking hard) Huh???\n\nTeacher : Look on that way, there are a lot of grass\nthere, why don't you walk there but please never walk\nbackward, just walk straight ahead. On your way, try\nto find a beautiful grass and pick it up then give it to me. But just one.\n\nStudent : Well, ok then... wait for me... (walked straight ahead to the grass field).\n\nA few minutes later...\n\nStudent : I'm back.\n\nTeacher : Em, well I don't see any beautiful grass on your hand\n\nStudent : On my journey, I found few beautiful grass,\nbut I thought that I would find a better one, so I didn't pick it up.\nBut I didn't realize that I'm at the end of the field, and I hadn't\npicked up any. Because you told me not to go back, so I didn't go\nback.\n\nTeacher : That's what happened in real life.\n\nWhat is the message of this story?\n\n* Grass - is people around you\n* Beautiful Grass - is people that attract you\n* Grass Field - is time\n* In looking for your soulmate, please don't always\ncompare and hope that there will be a better one. By\ndoing that, you'll waste your lifetime, cause remember..\n\n"Time Never Goes Back".\n\nIt applies the same in finding your ideal life\npartner, your suitable career or business, therefore\nthe morale is LOVE & grab hold of the opportunity\nthat you have now, don't waste time!

I would pick something that you have done in your life mistake or not, that has some how changed you for the better. People relate well with situations they are familiar with. Try something along those lines
