Hinweis der Redaktion
- This speech was special for me because of the material (which will become aparent after viewing it)and because it was the last speech that I needed complete the Competent Communication Manual (the basic manual as it is often times refered to by Toastmasters.
- The Mayans predicted the end of the world in 2012, well turns out that they were wrong! But they were right that the world as we knew in 2012 and in the past few decades has got to change!
- September 11th had just changed the world, nobody knew what direction things were going to go yet. I had just attended my mother‘s funeral, so you can imagine some of the feelings going through my mind at this time I needed something positive to lift my spirits and to see the world in a better light.
- The move stars Staring Haley Joel Osment, Helen Hunt, and Kevin Spacey. Eugene Simonet (Kevin Spacey) challenged his social studies class to change the world. Trevor McKinnley (Haley Joel Osment) comes up with the concept for Pay It Forward as part of this class assignment. The next three slides give you the basic idea behind the concept.
- You can see how this can quickly grow!
- Oprah gave over 300 people $1,000 and challenged them to come up with inspiring and creative ways to help others. Q100 Atlanta- The Bert Show - Oprah's Pay It Forward http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcqLw0xsSUw If you want to be inspired, have a look at the different videos on YouTube with Oprah & Pay It Forward or search on these terms in your favorite search engine.
- Layaway is a program at some stores in the U.S. where people can put a deposit down on items they wish to buy but that they don’t have the cash to buy at that moment, not do the wish to use credit. Several families where money is tight put toys on layaway, hoping that they’ll be able to have enough money to pay it off before Christmas but for many families Christmas doesn’t happen, because they don’t manage to pay the layaway off before Christmas! The layaway angel decided to ask the layaway department about layaway accounts where people had toys and decided to paid down several of them. In some cases she only paid as little as $20 and this meant that a family could have a memorable Christmas!
- The story Layaway Angel story spread like wildfire being carried by tradiational media (TV, Radio, Newspapers) and got a lot of coveraged online. Other Kmarts in Michigan and later on other states had copycat occurances and it spread to Walmart and Target as well. Other good deeds have been done at gas stations with some paying for the gas of others at the gas station, as well as people in grocery stores paying the bill of others in the store, in resturants some people would pay the checks of other patrons, and at some fastfood drive throughs people would pay for the orders of people behind them in line as well, with similar experinces at Starbucks as well.
- Pay It Forward has spread beyond America’s boarders and has even been witnessed in Germany. The women with the stolen purse was the first person to receive and envelope. The envelopes typically had an article about the group receiving the money with some kind of explanation of what the group did acting as come kind of guidance as to how the money should be spent. The next two slides talk of a couple of programs running in Germany that people can participate in.

- Austerity measures have pushed way more families into needing the services of SOS Children’s Village. Greece might be the only place where charities are taxed but this has meant that the organization has had to let people go as well. http://www.sos-childrensvillages.org/Pages/default.aspx http://www.sos-childrensvillages.org/News-and-Stories/Family-Focus-2012/Pages/Focus-on-poverty.aspx
- Being kind to others is good for your health, happiness, and leads to longer lives.
- How many times has your own heart grown bigger just big seeing a good act done by someone? Now imagine that you‘re the one doing the act of kindness!
- Charley Johnson has a couple of good outlooks on life. Can you imagine how much better our world would be if everyone tried to live these principles!
- I had a lot of fun researching the topic for my speech. While there is plenty of bad things going on in the world, there is a lot of good and hearing about some of the good things people are doing can really lift your spirits. Be creative and look for ways that you can help.
