INSPIRATIONAL SPEECH-CAT GRADUATION

Our life does not revolve on being blessed, but rather, we

are called to become a blessing as well by becoming a
person of service to others.

(Name all the persons to be given salutations), dear

cadets and cadettes, friends, ladies and gentlemen, a
grace-filled afternoon to all of you.
This rare opportunity given to your humble servant is
very much appreciated because standing here to inspire
is already something worthwhile. I assure everyone here,
it does not take one great deed to make a name. The
little things we do for others from day to day will define
us forever. I remember the words of Winston Churchill,
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by
what we give. Therefore, it is in giving of ourselves for the
sake of others makes our lives meaningful and worthy to
face our Heavenly Creator when we leave this world.
Another, do not count the things we have done for others.
Instead, add up the number of times we felt better just
because we made them happy. Every moment that
passes is precious and irreplaceable so we need to value
it by putting a purpose in all that we do and that is meant
for the people around us and not for ourselves-that is
selfishness. When we make others contented of their
lives, the more bliss is experienced within us.

Next, we will get tired as everyone else does. We may

have the choices to stop, but remember, taking a good
rest is a lot different from giving up. Mistakes are painful
when they happen, however, they should not be the
reason not to continue with what we are doing especially
if they are for the benefit of the majority. Sometimes a
slight effort is what it needs to accomplish our goals, yet
we are filled with much tension thereby hindering our
good vision. Energy is its essence so everyday, we have
to decide how to use it by knowing what we want, what it
requires to reach our target and what we have to do to
maintain our focus.

Lastly, life itself is a big challenge that we ought to face.

We win some, we lose some. What matters most is that
the sacrifices we make have their rewards, not here on
earth but in heaven. Helping others knows no boundary
nor waits for a fruitful return. We do this because Jesus
Christ Himself is born in this world to serve and not to be
served, has died for the salvation of all mankind and not
to be put on a pedestal and has lent a hand to a many
people not to be glorified or famous but because He has
chosen to do so.
Being of service to others entails a lot of effort for the
common good, surrender of our comfort zones, physical
and mental strength to carry on with the tasks, and most
of all, faith in God for we all know that He is the director

of our being. All of these will sum up into one common

goal-to uplift others lives through extending our hands
and hearts without expecting anything in return.

Thank you very much for listening and yours truly do

hope that one day, when oaths meet again, each of us
has accomplished our own duties to our neighbors by
means of community service.

Maggandang buhay to everyone!
