As a few finishing lines he said “may be sometimes you couldn’t see what is your influence on people around you, but remember every word you speak, every single thing you do, is speaking to the people around you to their heart, in a way or the other. May be just for a few people of your circle but, you are in the game and the game, my friend, is on. Now, you choose what you want the world around you to be and to become.

“Where we are heading, sir?” asked cabby, to a just-settled passenger of his who is searching for the laptop in his bag, staring at the rear mirror.
“To the town hall, please”, passenger said in an up and down motion of his head. “In 15 mins, sir”, cabby said gearing up.
‘The start, high, low, high, the end, theme, people,’ cabby heard as the passenger said out to himself with his laptop on his lap and some hand movements in the air. As always cabby enjoyed the highs and lows of the passenger, driving and occasionally checking out the rear mirror.
“Hey, hi, what’s your name? And you can call me Jim” said the passenger leaning forward. “Then you can call me max”, Cabby said sensing a conversation, so leaning to his side.
“Did you ever thought that you can change or influence the world, or a bit of it, Max”, Jim asked.
“Well, I have a fair chance to kill a few people every day. Of course, I did”, Max said sarcastically.
“Fair enough, now you’ve got a chance to listen to my speech”, Jim said.
“In the town hall. No, here right now, interested”.
“But we have only 5 mins”.
“So, yes. Okay, it is an 18 min speech so, I will tell you about the underlying theme, and how I want people to think after the speech, okay”.
“Okay, I’ll be glad”.
“Good, let’s begin. You are in the game and the game is on, this is the heading I want to put. I mean, changing the world or influencing the world or a part of it, is the game, it’s everyone’s game. And we think we can’t play this game as we say, it needs power, money, reputation, and all the mighty things, we see as. But what I want to say is willingly or otherwise, with our existence we are influencing a part of the world and we are the reason to our future. We are changing the world as it is now to the world in the future in between. So we, every one of us, have the power to influence the world. So I say we are all in the game and the game is on. You can’t quit. If you ignore this it will be a bad move. The only option we have is to make a good move and never give up. As giving up is a bad move too. Winning, moving forward, perseverance…., more on that. Finally with some finishing lines a conclusion. At the end I want to remind people that they are capable of changing the world if they are willing to change the world. I mean that they can instantly make a first move in changing the world and it’s just the time we need to get the result. We want more…” Jim stopped as he can see the Town hall.
“Are you ready to change the world, I mean to change the people?”, max asked with a smile. Jim smiled. “You want to come over to see the speech”.
“I’m afraid, can’t, sir”.
“That’s okay, thank you. By the way I am Jim, I don’t know who the sir is”.
Cab cleared the space. And the speaker, Jim, took a step up to the town hall staring at the steps and smiling.
