במסגרת לימודי MBA השתתפתי ב"תחרות" בה יש לשאת נאום בנושא חופשי במשך 2 דקות ולסחוף את הקהל.
תקציר הנאום מובא כאן (הורדתי את הפסקה האחרונה אשר הכילה אופי פרסומי).
In the next 2 min I’d like to share with you the magic of flight. I’m sure that everyone in this room has dreamed about flying, spreading your arms out, and imagining yourself as a bird, flying above your house, above mountains and seeing everything which is around you. For me, personally it was my life’s dream.
Some of you (especially those who already know me), know that I’m going to talk about paragliding. Paragliding is the closest way to fly like a bird, not only that but when we paraglide, we fly alongside birds many times. In most cases, they will find the thermals for us - we then rush over, join in and climb up to the sky together.
Imagine for a second being completely free from all the stress and worries of your daily life – all the troubles of work, the stress of traffic, your homework…your MBA class and anything and everything else that limits and worries you. Imagine that the moment your feet leave the ground, and as you climb up to the sky all those worries and stresses disappear. It’s just you and your canopy above your head - 10,000 ft above the ground.
Sounds unreal, but paragliding is exactly that, actually it’s more. It’s an experience that no words in English language (or any language) can explain. It’s the feeling of being completely free.
You can soar with the birds on silent wings, with only the power of the sun and Mother Nature as your fuel.
You look down on amazing views, drifting over mountains and rivers.
I’d like to invite you all to try paragliding, and get a taste for the feeling of flying. Just remember, as Leonardo da Vinci once said, “…And once you have tasted flight, you will always walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return”.
Once you try it, you will understand the sky is not the limit anymore.
