Public Speaking Text: How To Lead A Healthy Life

* I recently participated in a public speaking competition and this is the text of the speech.




Thank you to the Master of Ceremony. Friends, let us ponder for a moment about some of these  startling statistics. These statistics are by no means exclusive to Malaysia but is a worldwide phenomenon.  In 2010, the obesity rate in Malaysia was 26.5%. In 2011, it shot up even higher to 28%. So after 28%, does it mean that in 2020, where our country will be a fully-developed nation, the rate would correspondingly be 41.5%? Or in 2050, it will be 86.5%? Being of normal weight would be at that time an endangered species then. Think about it. How are we going to prevent this?

A very good morning to the honorable judges, teachers and my fellow friends. My name is Dhanvin Kumar Lal Asokan and I am standing here today to deliver a speech entitled “How To Lead A Healthy Life”. I do not profess to expert on this subject, but I will try to shed some light on this matter.

What is healthy living? According to Webster Dictionary, healthy living is living a life without having to worry about diseases and body size. To obtain healthy living is not easy. We have to work hard to get it.  There are several ways one can lead a healthy life. Among the ways are having a proper diet, having enough sleep, having enough exercise and also a proper time management.

So before I go on, let us see the ways to get a proper diet. Our diet should follow the food pyramid. We should eat sufficient carbohydrates such as rice, bread and noodles. We must eat plenty of vitamins such as fruits and vegetables. We should also eat proteins such as fish, meat and chicken, but in moderation. We shouldn’t eat fatty and greasy foods such as junk food, butter and margarine. If we follow this diet effectively, we will get a lot of good and rewarding benefits.

Another way that we should practice is eating at the right time. How many of us have breakfast in the morning? Not many, right as we are all too busy trying to make it to school on time? This is wrong because breakfast gives us energy to start a fresh day. If we do not have breakfast in the morning, we will feel very tired and sleepy. In fact, some cultures advocate breakfast as the most important meal of the day.  Without a proper breakfast, our concentration span will also reduce, thus making us unable to comprehend what is taught in class.

We should get enough sleep every day. I am not hinting to my friends to take forty winks when they are in class.  An average child needs at least 8 hours of sleep. For example, if we wake up at 6am, we should sleep at 10pm every night.  What will happen if we do not get enough sleep? Well, for sure we will feel very sleepy and unable to comprehend what is taught in class, thus making us to lose out.

We must get enough exercise time every day. How many of us exercise every day?  I am afraid to admit that I am also one of the guilty ones who fall in this category. We should exercise because when we sweat, the fats in our bodies will break. If we do not exercise, we will become obese and this may lead to various lifestyle diseases such as heart attack and diabetes. Our exercise routine should consist of a variety of activities such as running, games like football and basketball and also physical exercise such as tennis and swimming so that we don’t get bored with the same activities. Make sure you exercise and don’t say “I have exercised!” when you actually haven’t. Lifestyle diseases are one of the easily preventable diseases which have overtaken other communicable diseases like malaria and dengue.

We should also manage our time properly. Preparing a timetable and adhering to it strictly is the best way we can manage our time. If we do not have a timetable, we will feel stressed and unable to do our activities effectively because we will be rushing to do them. Plan your activities well so that it does not clash with your daily routine.

If you follow my suggestions to lead a healthy life, I am sure we can build a healthier Malaysia. Thank you for lending me your ears. 

6 Things You Didn't Know About the Gregorian Calendar

September 13, 2012

By Jennie Cohen

If you were living in England or one of the American colonies 260 years ago, this date—September 13, 1752—didn’t exist. Neither did the 10 days preceding it. Instead, you would have gone to bed on the evening of September 2 and woken up on the morning of September 14. Eleven days had been effectively skipped over as part of the parliamentary measure that implemented the Gregorian calendar, aligning Britain and its overseas possessions with the rest of Western Europe. In most of the world today, people continue to track their days, months and years using the centuries-old system, so chances are you’re intimately familiar with its workings. Still, there are a few things about the Gregorian calendar that might come as a surprise.

William Hogarth’s painting “An Election Entertainment,” thought to have sparked rumors that English citizens rioted after the adoption of the Gregorian calendar.

1. The original goal of the Gregorian calendar was to change the date of Easter.

In 1582, when Pope Gregory XIII introduced his Gregorian calendar, Europe adhered to the Julian calendar, first implemented by Julius Caesar in 46 B.C. Since the Roman emperor’s system miscalculated the length of the solar year by 11 minutes, the calendar had since fallen out of sync with the seasons. This concerned Gregory because it meant that Easter, traditionally observed on March 21, fell further away from the spring equinox with each passing year.

2. Leap years don’t really occur every four years in the Gregorian calendar.

The Julian calendar included an extra day in February every four years. But Aloysus Lilius, the Italian scientist who developed the system Pope Gregory would unveil in 1582, realized that the addition of so many days made the calendar slightly too long. He devised a variation that adds leap days in years divisible by four, unless the year is also divisible by 100. If the year is also divisible by 400, a leap day is added regardless. While this formula may sound confusing, it did resolve the lag created by Caesar’s earlier scheme—almost.

3. The Gregorian calendar differs from the solar year by 26 seconds per year.

Despite Lilius’ ingenious method for syncing the calendar with the seasons, his system is still off by 26 seconds. As a result, in the years since Gregory introduced his calendar in 1582, a discrepancy of several hours has arisen. By the year 4909, the Gregorian calendar will be a full day ahead of the solar year.

4. Some Protestants viewed the Gregorian calendar as a Catholic plot.

Though Pope Gregory’s papal bull reforming the calendar had no power beyond the Catholic Church, Catholic countries—including Spain, Portugal and Italy—swiftly adopted the new system for their civil affairs. European Protestants, however, largely rejected the change because of its ties to the papacy, fearing it was an attempt to silence their movement. It wasn’t until 1700 that Protestant Germany switched over, and England held out until 1752. Orthodox countries clung to the Julian calendar until even later, and their national churches have never embraced Gregory’s reforms.

5. Britain’s adoption of the Gregorian calendar sparked riots and protest—maybe.

According to some accounts, English citizens did not react kindly after an act of Parliament advanced the calendar overnight from September 2 to September 14, 1752. Rioters supposedly took to the streets, demanding that the government “give us our 11 days.” However, most historians now believe that these protests never occurred or were greatly exaggerated. On the other side of the Atlantic, meanwhile, Benjamin Franklin welcomed the change, writing, “It is pleasant for an old man to be able to go to bed on September 2, and not have to get up until September 14.”

6. Before the Gregorian calendar’s adoption, the English new year began on March 25, or Lady Day.

Julius Caesar’s calendar reform of 46 B.C. instituted January 1 as the first of the year. During the Middle Ages, however, European countries replaced it with days that carried greater religious significance, such as December 25 (the anniversary of Jesus’ birth) and March 25 (the Feast of the Annunciation). The latter, known as Lady Day because it celebrates the Virgin Mary, marked the beginning of the year in Britain until January 1, 1752.
