hi
i need to write a speech to be given in my school because i am standing for the post of head boy in the school elections. i need an election campaign speech.
can anyone suggest a good and effective opening for it...perhaps using some quotes on leadership or something relevant?
plz help me with this speech.
thanks

bah, nice googling, i came across that one on the first result

i prefer "Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
you could talk about what will set you apart from the other leaders after opening with this quote maybe.... (just an initial thought, il have a deeper think about what you could say if you give me something that would make me want to vote for you rather than anyone else)

thanx dude. what exactly did you google?

leadership quotes... you can find loads.... maybe google for a speech on leadership for inspiration
