    Congratulations Luisa, every passing second of the speech was nerve cracking and very inspiring. I could live those 6 minutes as you experienced and narrated as your best 6 minutes of sleep. You will always be that ‘stranger’ going forward reminding the importance of self-value. Thank you so much for that bit of motivation and inspiration.

    Thank you so much for your message. I am so glad to learn from your uplifting spirit.
    As an over 70-year-old lady, after being abandoned by the world as an elderly, I felt that was it-the end of my life. But I couldn’t find the exit.
    As a distinguished Toastmaster for over 20 years, battling aging and memory degradation, I have created a new life plan with schedules, target objectives, and milestones for my brave new life.

      My dear, I’m so sorry you felt the world abandoned you. Sometimes life can be cruel. You say you couldn’t find the exit. This hurt my heart. Yet here you are finding new ways to navigate through this amazing life we know as you!! I applaud you and commend you. As a stranger, please know that I can see your value and worth! Congratulations on still sharing your life with us. ❤

    Congratulations! I heard about your winning speech in my TM club today, so raced here to watch it. What I loved most was your casual, comfortable style. I felt like you were in my living room talking to me. It's so unusual to see an ease like that on the world stage and it does take a special kind of talent, which you clearly have. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this gift that you have shared with 37+ strangers.

      I understand why you would hope I wouldn’t see your message, but I want you to know that I feel EVERYONE is entitled to their opinion. It was actually a hidden message I had in my speech. I understand you didn’t find the speech great, I didn’t think it was GREAT either. But somehow the judges thought it was good enough for me to take home first place. I’m sure it wasn’t just you because if there’s anything I’ve learned from contests, it’s that you never know what’s going to win, and not EVERYONE is going to like your speech. I applaud you for telling the truth, and please believe me that I hold no ill will towards you for speaking your mind. ITS YOUR OPINION, and I RESPECT that!! Thank you my friend!

    • @BrendanPatrickGrace
      @BrendanPatrickGrace 2 месяца назад +1

      It's laid out very clearly in most contest language, I don't have the exact wording in front of me, but the contest chair or Toastmaster should say something before contests begin like 'These speeches may contain views, content or other material that some people may find offensive'. You don't have to agree with most speeches or people who win and that's both good and healthy.

      Interesting reaction. On site, I found this approach to be particularly effective to reach believers and non believers alike. Watching again online, I stand by my opinion: @luisamontalvo106 was brilliant in her approach. Notwithstanding this, it's ok if you find it inappropriate; it's not ok to "demand that this video be deleted." Let's have more discussion, not less.
