My Speech, which got Best Speaker Award ............ Have you ever wondered secrets of highly successful persons? Couple of days ago, I happen to visit one of my close friends, who is very successful in his business. I respect him a lot. A true leader. I happen to see a big picture along with few words on one of his Door Panels, where he had clearly written down his dream and achieving them, with specific achievement dates.
