Be ready to challenge your own self. Go from good to become better, day by day. Try to walk
together without leaving others behind. And you will certainly do great things together. Keep up the
good work. Best wishes!

Very impressive effort to make this event a world class success. Many US clubs can learn much from

David Letterman, the famous talk show host said it all began for him when he took an elective in
school on “public speaking”. As students, you are lucky that the all-island inter university speaking
contests has been presented to you. I wish that, each of you, through this experience, will find
something new about yourself which you will start nurturing from now. All the best!

I have been reading a great deal about all of the hard work and dedication that has gone into
developing Best Speaker, and it is my sincere hope that each of this year’s participants will know that
by winning tonight, they will not only distinguish themselves among the greatest speakers in Sri Lanka
and the regions of South Asia, but also as one of the best speakers in the world!! I extend my best to
all of this year’s contestants in their quest to be the best.
Congratulations to all of the participants, and especially to the winner of this year’s contest!
