It's amazing the difference between this same speech he gave in 2015 and what he gave here in 2017. I found 2015 to be more entertaining, funny and took 3rd place, and yet, he tightened the same speech for 2017 (less funny and entertaining) and took 1st. Awesome job of focusing on THE MESSAGE
I agree with one of the commenters. There’s a format to winning. Fact is, if he used the same/similar speech, lost one year and one another, then he must have found what he needed to win or the judges weren’t bias or something.
Unfortunately, what makes a makes a good speech in Toastmasters will never be a speech I give elsewhere. The speech is still a good speech, but a format and style that would get me kicked out of a job or politics - where speeches matter most
I watched the 1st and the the 3rd..and personally like the 3rd better (I was more captivated by him). Being a Toastmaster and having served as a judge myself I can totally understand why the 1st is the winner.
anaphat Hello Sir, I am also interested in public speaking and thinking of joining a toastmasters club in India . I just watched the third place winner's speech also. To me, his content seemed very good and his delivery more genuine. Could you tell me what are the points I missed to see in this(1st prize winner) speech, that made it win the championship. I really want to understand this. Thank you.
Part of the scoring system is the audience response/reaction, using/having props, body movement, vocal variety to name just a few. This is why TM speech contestants tend to 'overact.' I think the 3rd contestant style is more calm/inward, but the 1st is definitely outward which seems to fit the TM criteria better.
I see so many negative comments, but as a neutral and educated audience here's what I have to say. Toastmaster's Speech here is not supposed to be normal in terms of speech delivery. There's a lot of metrics they have to aim to score like presentation, delivery, etc. Although I believe he delivered a great message quite beautifully, he did seem artificial and over the top at times. I still believe that this message and example got him the win so learn from the way he perfected the second half of the speech and nailed the competition.
Zhenhua Zeng hahaha u r funny bro thats the best comment.I dont know who's more dumb toastmasters for allowing repeated content or speaker thinking he could win with same speech(although he did win)
This wasn't really engrossing. I was expecting that the speech would make me forget that I'm judging a speech. Isn't that what you call the 'charisma' of a public speaker?
Wasn't catchy. I don't know what's the criteria of winning here. Sometimes some speeches look over acting & they win. Idk how. Even 2016 that underwear guy was overacting. Indeed they had a good message but it's the way they present that counts in toastmasters. -A toastmaster.
They should seriously look into this matter. People who I publicize toastmaster about, turn off after watching such speeches. And I can clearly see why wouldn't they.
I disliked because that's the same speech he delivered 2 years back in 2015 with a title "we can fix it", not worthy. Doesn't sound genuine in fact feels as if he is pushing himself hard. Don't know how he became the champ.
A story teller with voice modulation is all it takes to win the competition, no matter how many times you have given the same speech to present the speech with highs lows emotions happiness and laughter and the pauses taken to deliver is tough
toastmasters giving the same content to all. so reputation will be there.syllabus is equal to all.the way how he show as a presenter on stage is the matter we getting from toastmasters. if u want different content then there is table topic round will be opt for you.
@@FikriKawakibi he is talking about context chair she is female before judge anyone look on you understand the feeling of speaker before saying anything
When you have characters in your speech, you take on the role of the characters and act out the characters in the speech. Toastmasters World Championship Public Speaking is a storytelling contest and you will see speakers take on different roles of their characters in their story.
@@brianmcafee348 In the first moments you see him "acting" himself. Not a character. The whole Toastmaster system teach people to speak very inauthentically and overacted.
@@christofferinfo If you are basing the whole toastmasters system based on the contests, I feel you may lack the knowledge of the whole toastmaster"s system. Most people who join toastmasters are mainly trying to get comfortable in front of a live audience. Toastmasters gives them the opportunity to practice in front of a live audience to get comfortable and improve their speaking ability with feedback from experienced speakers. In storytelling, a lot of times people narrate the story and bring in characters so the audience can relive the story with them. When you bring in characters to the story, you become the character in the story and act what happened in the story. This can be an argument- anger, happiness, sadness, fear whatever happened in the story. With the contests, people are usually trying to separate themselves from the other speakers which people may see as overacting or feel they are not being authentic. This can be subjective as the contest itself is very subjective. I feel Toastmasters should change the title of the of The Toastmasters World Champion of Public Speaking Contest to The Toastmasters World Champion of Storytelling Contest. I feel this would be accurate with the contest and wouldn't confuse people when they watch the contests on RUclips.
@@brianmcafee348 All speakers I have seen that have gone through the Toastmaster system speak in similar ways to the competition. (I have worked in the event industry as a speaker and producer for the last 15 years, so I have seen a few) But, you might be right that I'm compartmentalising too much, so I wish to rephrase: The Toastmaster competition system teach people to speak very inauthentically and overacted. And I totally agree that "World Champion of Storytelling Contest" would be much more appropriate than Public Speaking Contest. But I don't think that's even enough, because: You can tell a story in a way that is believable and still engaging. This is what we actors do... ;-) But that takes serious skills and training. What I'm seeing here in the Toastmasters competition is at the level of storytelling and acting you see at a high school recital or an amateur production anywhere in the world. In this case, overacting is not subjective. It's a pattern/style that is unfortunately supported by this whole structure Toastmasters has created. Thanks for your input!
I do recognise the value of the actual system, and as a speaking coach as well, I do appreciate the chance they give for people to practice the sacred craft of public speaking and storytelling. I just wish they would show a different outcome of years and years of diligent training. Right now, from a professional standpoint, they look like clowns. And many people in the industry actually look down on speakers that have "graduated" from Toastmasters, because of the buffoonery in these competitions. I would love to see them change their style, as there is much to be learned from their system and I wish them all the best
Last time I checked this was not a winning speech . I didn't know he came to win with the same speech. Good message for relationships though but not sure if it's fair to other contestants 🤨.
I personally feel the speaker performed far better wen he came 3rd few years back! It doesn't seem to be anyway even close to that performance! Flow is missing, not that energy too! BTW Congratulations to him!!!
I guess the 2017 competition wasn't competitive as this guy got the third place for the same speech in 2015 however, a true toastmaster Muhammad Qatani performed in that year and I just think that no one outdid him this year but he ain't a true master
I don't know!! Seriously, Qahtani inspired me to join TM. But after seeing this, I don't know if I should be going. I really don't want my speaking style to be influenced by this kind of speakers
Yes, if it's in a different year, the only requirement is you need a different speech for the Finals than you used in your previous speeches to get to the finals. Obviously he is within the rules of the contest.

I see something in this speech and I know exactly what it is.
Boris Kondev
Nice!
Lol😂Dananjaya
agree
Gottem
:D
I love this speech. A professor showed me it in college and i still come back to watch years later. Such a powerful and important message.
Saw his interview on BBC. A brilliant speech and one of the most meaningful messages ever, that everyone should adopt in their lives. Keep inspiring.
Amazing speech plus wonderful presentation skills. A lot to learn. Pull less and bend more !
It's amazing the difference between this same speech he gave in 2015 and what he gave here in 2017. I found 2015 to be more entertaining, funny and took 3rd place, and yet, he tightened the same speech for 2017 (less funny and entertaining) and took 1st. Awesome job of focusing on THE MESSAGE
I find his speech is very captivating and funny. He nailed his message with a great example, " bow and string".
Can't replace Dhananjaya 🤣🤣 He was absolutely magnificent
Exactly.I completely agree with that.
@@sajansenadeera9298 True! because we know we see something in Him, but we don't know what it is.
@@gedekariana7548 exactly he ended speech with that only He see something in us but he dont know what it is .
@@gedekariana7548 exactly
So true❤
Great message from Your Mama... Vasudevan!!
All the best speakers of the world are now at TED's. Why? They have something real to share with humanity.
So does he...
The ending of the story was a good point to note guys !!!
learned a great lesson and will try to utilize it
wow the way you explain the meaning of each word is excellent sir. it really gone help me . thanks for sharing with us
Thank Sir, your message was well received.
Bravo. An amazing speach with so much to learn from.
Great Message to Everyone - Be Flexible Always with Positive Attitude.....
They both are good dananjaya and Manoj 😃😃😃
Relationships demand sacrifices and compromises.
it's like Dananjaya Hettiarachchi speech.The toastmaster of 2014 😯
Gihan Perera he's way better
Such a beautiful way he presented ❤️
"The perfect partners are those who keep perfecting their partnership by choosing to pull less and bend more"

Bravo good speech
I'm shocked he got beyond the first round with this speech - seriously. I'd like to know what the judges look for and why this guy won.
He didn't. He won the Semifinals with a different speech. For Finals, you have to have a new speech.
Denis its the content of the speach which equally matters along with speaking ability and gestures.
Totally agreed.it shouldn't be about the content only. The sync b/w words,content & body language is what make a good speaker. No offense
Unfortunately, what makes a makes a good speech in Toastmasters will never be a speech I give elsewhere. The speech is still a good speech, but a format and style that would get me kicked out of a job or politics - where speeches matter most
@@rudrarudram937 Yes its not applicable to day to day speechs to leaders, co workers. It doesn't even meet time constrained delivery.
Great post
So awesome.
So much from this speech was taken from his other speech, "We Can Fix It".
He was speak well, actually is a good story
Good msg..pull less bend more
I watched the 1st and the the 3rd..and personally like the 3rd better (I was more captivated by him). Being a Toastmaster and having served as a judge myself I can totally understand why the 1st is the winner.

anaphat Why?
I liked the third guy better too. I thought his delivery was better and his structure more coherent

anaphat Thank you, Sir. I get that now.
awesome return back sir but it is very ashame that your keeping same concept.
Wow! Just what I needed to hear today.
Love your speech! Truly excellent!
This reminds me Dananjaya Hettiarachi's speech 2014.
What a come back! Congratulations Manojettaa...
Pull less bend more ....awesome ...
awesome speech
Wow the toastmasters community is popping
Very good message
Loved this one !

Hope to see he "come back" again in another two years with same speech. Maybe we should help him think a new title.

Hahaha spoken like a true professional! 😂
exactly bro, He done same speech at 2015
Very true. Pull less-bend more.
very captivating ... Big lessons
Wow; great message, well delivered!
I m from india i want to talk to you
It was nice and perfect
My favorite ever.
Great message
Proud to see a fellow keralite
Pull Less Bend More an excellent insight🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Superb... Congratulations
I love this so much ❤️❤️
It doesn't sound natural at all... He is trying so hard!!
Another example of HARD WORK BEATS TALENT!!!
very much agree, i don't understand how did he win nor how do people like his speech. it's not natural at all
Great msg
This wasn't really engrossing. I was expecting that the speech would make me forget that I'm judging a speech. Isn't that what you call the 'charisma' of a public speaker?
Pull less and bend more
I m gonna apply the same in the future
Wow, amazing
great speech and great mesage
I laughed so hard,luv ur sense of humor and the way you present it
To be frank he is really good but Dananjaya hettiarachchi was better than him
Dananjaya Hettiarachchi is the best 🤘👌
Undoubtedly
Pronunciation is far better too
Wowwwww , really amazing
Pull less and bend more ❤️
Wasn't catchy. I don't know what's the criteria of winning here. Sometimes some speeches look over acting & they win. Idk how. Even 2016 that underwear guy was overacting. Indeed they had a good message but it's the way they present that counts in toastmasters.
-A toastmaster.
Mirza Saad Baig totally agree with you. I found this presentation too tired to watch :))
They should seriously look into this matter. People who I publicize toastmaster about, turn off after watching such speeches.
And I can clearly see why wouldn't they.
it really depends on what the judges are hearing, feeling and observing..no one really knows.....
Wonderful
I disliked because that's the same speech he delivered 2 years back in 2015 with a title "we can fix it", not worthy. Doesn't sound genuine in fact feels as if he is pushing himself hard. Don't know how he became the champ.
you are absolutely right. same words.. title changed from we can fix it
A story teller with voice modulation is all it takes to win the competition, no matter how many times you have given the same speech to present the speech with highs lows emotions happiness and laughter and the pauses taken to deliver is tough
Same like winning speaker 2014, Mr.Dananjaya Hettiarachchi's speech
toastmasters giving the same content to all. so reputation will be there.syllabus is equal to all.the way how he show as a presenter on stage is the matter we getting from toastmasters. if u want different content then there is table topic round will be opt for you.
good speech lemal
Dananjaya's copy. Sometimes when you copy from the best you can get good results.
nothing close to Dananjaya, that guy had style and way more fluent accent. this was like watching some indian movie narration.
Sorry but Dananjaya's of Sri Lanka in 2016 was a far better and deserving champion speach.
Pull less and bend more. Summary of the talk
Nice message...
he came to my school today
Same speech 3rd position 2015 1st place 2017 🤷♀️
I want to be like you sir
I still wonder ...........why all great speakers are bald !
I thought she said..pole less and bend more
Before you try to judge on other people, look at yourself first. He is not a female okay?
Seng Gu she was a male?! 😱
The commenter clearly meant the Contest Chair, who is female.
Muhammad Fikri Kawakibi Huda lol 😂
@@FikriKawakibi he is talking about context chair she is female before judge anyone look on you understand the feeling of speaker before saying anything
Same person, Same content, just different title in 2015.
How wil i able to participate in this competition?
He was overacting too much. Not very interesting speech either. Sorry but I wonder how this could be the champion!
I doubt you could do better , so shut up.
Jesus dude it's a comment. A pretty helpful one if you ask me
I wonder! why all the toastmasters over act ?????

Sir jordar Jaberdast sandar
Same story which he delivered 2015
Just trying to know, WHAT IT IS, in the videos continuously.
This is not a speech. It is stand up comedy. A bad one. I can't believe he won. The jury was from India?
i thought so too...this is more like a stand up comedy.
Last time I checked this was not a winning speech . I didn't know he came to win with the same speech. Good message for relationships though but not sure if it's fair to other contestants 🤨.
great speech sir
So fun
Sorry to say but loose it's charm due to the same flavor served in a different plate, don't u?
Nice one
When you pull on a bow less it bends less
Logic explode
I personally feel the speaker performed far better wen he came 3rd few years back! It doesn't seem to be anyway even close to that performance! Flow is missing, not that energy too! BTW Congratulations to him!!!

How the hell did this guy win? How do we go from Mohammed Qahtani to this and that underwear guy?
I don't know!! Seriously, Qahtani inspired me to join TM. But after seeing this, I don't know if I should be going. I really don't want my speaking style to be influenced by this kind of speakers
Im wondering. . Is it ok to perform the same speech in the same competition twice?
He performed this in 2015 btw
Vanbel Manik yup exactly I was thinking..he had some content
Apparently one can plagiarize oneself. What a shame.
Yes, if it's in a different year, the only requirement is you need a different speech for the Finals than you used in your previous speeches to get to the finals. Obviously he is within the rules of the contest.
The rules changed for next year, 2019. No one can repeat a semifinals and finals speech anymore
I like the rule change this makes the more experienced competitors come up with different speeches.
❤️❤️❤️
V good
Same as Dhananjaya
