@@jn8543 Then you are yet to watch Brian Tracy, Les Brown, Tony Robbins speaking!! Folk, they all are unique, and it's all about what you see something in them even if you dont know what it is!!!!
Since 2014, I've not seen a World Championship speech that moves me like this one. I've seen it many times, I know where he's going, I know the ending, and yet it moves me every time. Just brilliant.
Sir, today I participated in a declamation competition where I had to imitate any famous speech.. So i chose your master piece' I SEE SOMETHING'.. after more than a week of practicing.. today I won the first prize in it.. All credit goes to u.. Thank u for this wonderful speech..

My grandfather's name is D.R.Hetiarachy. He came from Ceylon and settled in Malaysia. He is no more with me. I don't know any of his relations in Ceylon. I like this Hetiarachy 's speech. His name brought back memories of my grandfather. God bless you young man. May you be happy and successful in life. 🍁🙏🍁
Change your video settings which you uploaded. It's made for kids that's the reason people can't comment on it. It's reach is also poor because of the same reason.
In my eyes this was the best championship speech ever. Danajaya you are a masterful presenter. Nothing was overdone or oversold in this speech. Everything was authentic You were the example that I looked to present as "yourself". Thank you for the inspiration.
Put all your fear of public speaking together ✨✨✨✨ And you'll get mine 😁 Edited: thanks for 1.6k + likes ❤️😄 Edited 2: thanks for 2.5k + likes❤️😄 (ps: it's first time so many people read what I said than what I put all together of my entire life😂 )
He is amazing. At the end of his speech, I was laughing and crying at the same time while holding my heart. It was a really good speech. I saw a lot of depth and meaning in that speech....but I don't know what it is.....
Even after 8 years, I can still feel your motivation in this speech. I am also a toastmasters member and I am inspired by your speech. Thank you for your great speech!
I feel so special this came on my recommended list. Perhaps the Universe saw something in me and with the love and support from all of you, I'll be able to gather the pieces together and see that something in me. Thank you for all the love, prayers and best wishes. Truly blessed. And to all those undergoing through a challenging time and not knowing what to do, be assured that I see something in you. May you overcome through it at the earliest.
Dananjaya, I was there. Time flies so fast. Unfortunately, I did not progress much. I think it is time for me to reconsider, re-think, re-plan to make better progress in my life, my career and my family. Sometimes people see something in us that we can't see in ourselves, however the point is that we need to make a move, take the very first step. It's the first step of moving forward that may actually be the most difficult, letting go of what's holding us back. Else, they really don’t know what it is. 👦
Hey Dananjaya, great speech. In fact why this speech was made the winning speech is the fact that it was your life experience and circumstance that is narrated through your oration skills which you mastered from Toastmasters. You made Sri Lanka proud.
I just came here to say Thank You to you sir. Because of you and this speech, I was able to back the first prize in the Inter-School English Elocution Competition.
Bravo, Mr. Hettiarachchi. Your country must be really proud of you. It is no wonder why you are held as the champion. Your speech delivery was remarkable and entertaining. I have noticed that you really love speaking. Your way of delivering your words can be seen with the emotion you have given to the audience. All the words you have chosen are only suitable to entertain the viewers, not to mention that with your skills you have inspired many students, especially those who are in the field of English teaching. Keep up the good work, sir, and I hope you will inspire many students in the future. Your video is very much recommended. God bless you, and live well!
I had never seen this before, and I never would have seen it if it weren't for my instructor assigning us to watch it. The speaker is really incredible. He delivered a superb speech with ease. We are all unique in different ways, which is really inspirational. One of my favorite portions of his speech was when he stated, "My fellow flowers," as if to say that we are all flowers with various fragrances.

Love it, Dananjaya. I started my Toastmasters journey only in Oct 2019. This one is one of the best speeches I've ever watched. I've become your fan. Keep rocking and inspiring your fans.
This speech was given to me 2 weeks ago as an assignemt in class, never did I imagine the impact it would have in me. I've forwarded it to people I care about, people I know are going through it. This speech just moved me in a way that has me really loving myself, I see something in me!
I used to be terrified of public speaking before. Then I went to college and as part of the curriculum, I had to speak and make presentations in front of a large class of fellow students and professors. The first few minutes were tense, I felt my hands trembling holding the microphone, my legs feeling a little unsteady, my heart thumping out of my chest. However, in a few minutes, all that was gone and I had the audience with me. That's when I knew I loved this.
Same. I took theater arts for a semester in college, (attended the speech club in college) and finally now make totally raw and impromptu podcasts without any jump cuts or edits. Although I will not even scratch the surface to this guy's ability I realize that with practice anything is possible. I am very self-conscious about my voice and accent and even talking fast and mumbling.... but all these tweaks made me more confident.
That s was a great speech! I would never have discovered this if it wasn't for my English Teacher! She showed the class and believe me everyone was crying their eyes out after that ending! Great work!
Hello Something I have been in search for quite sometime is a connection with somebody that goes beyond vanity. It's very hard to do in this day and age. People can be, somewhat very superficial. On my quest to achieve this I have learnt a lot about human nature. It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people. While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there. Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there. I've been in the process of change for a while now and I have made some decent changes but don't you just hate it when people can't let go of your past mistakes. I saw your profile and it intrigued me. I wanted to learn more about who you are and what type of path you would like on in life. Can we talk?
I watched this video for the first time today. And it made me laugh, made me think, and made me cry too! Best 7 minutes of an amazing experience, today! I liked this video. I bookmarked this too. And of course, I subscribed. I see something in you Dananjaya Hettiarachchi. You are a charismatic, authentic, and awesome human being! Thank you for reminding me to appreciate all the people who helped me and those who saw something in me. I wish you the best!
Dananjaya Congratulations ! Dananjaya, is an amazing human being. When I first met him at Virtusa at a lunch table I saw something special in him. I knew what it was that I was sure this handsome man would go long long way. Not only because of his personality you see, but also of his ability to listen to and ability to talk and advice someone through his vision. Several times I had lunch with him and we shared our stories . He is an AMAZING HUMAN BEING. I am fortunate to say that he is a friend of mine.
Wow - a marvelous opening - memorable use of visual aids - beautiful flow from opening into the body of the speech - superbly crafted language - superlative timing - stupendous rapport with audience - arresting storytelling - staggering self-confidence - delightful humour - glorious celebration. Next time: maybe say "Ladies & Gentlemen & Talk Show for Talkers" Otherwise carry on speaking in the same vein - changing the world for us all
Wow - what a worthy winner, and a wonderful human being. I had the pleasure of speaking with Dananjaya on the "The Talk Show For Talkers" on www.irishradiointernational.com comes across as humble, sincere and generous with his time. Truly a World Champion!
I think I accidentally stumbled across this video on UA-cam and I am now grateful this video was in my search results! The speech is simply impressive, from start to finish. Mr Dananjaya nailed it and I still remember his signature message "I see something in you but I don't know what it is!"! I have watched this speech several times and it energizes me every time. When I first watched this speech, I had no plan of joining Toastmasters. Interesting how my first Toastmasters meeting was yesterday and I am actually planning to become an official member! Thank you Mr Hettiarachchi for the great inspirational speech! P.S. I am proud a fellow Sri Lankan won the 2014 competition!
Wow,that is the most wonderful speech I ever heard. Power,gesture,voice,expression,attitude and mind, everything is perfect. I'm very very very impressed.
This kept me hooked for the entire 7 odd minutes. Would like to mention something though - if you have great people around you who genuinely value you, are your well wishers and try to bring the best in you, be grateful to the universe(and to those people of course) as not everyone have them. But in any case, your life is YOUR responsibility and you yourself need to find a way out of the mess life at times put you in. Let's not wait for any angel to sort things out for you. Be your own angel. Thanks for reading. Hope you have a good life.
A simple text crafted intelligently to conform to judging criteria to maximize scoring and not to speak of the natural, smooth delivery. The prop (rose) played a pivotal role in providing the speech with an attention grabbing opening and an effective conclusion. The lacing of humor and engaging the audience with questions also played a role in maximizing scoring. The best part of course is the simple, natural delivery without extravagant gestures and body language.
This speech had everything a good humor story beginning,middle,and end props too, and most of all touched the audience emotionally. It was amazing and worth watching. Most inspiring speech!❤
I love this... watching this for the first time, you'll never know what's coming or how the story gonna is gonna end. You'll end up laughing at intervals, keeping eyes out for flaws and lapses and at the end of the video, realize you just watched something truly amazing, maybe the greatest speech on UA-cam.
The way he deliver his speevh was very catchy. His chosen words of the speech was sound pleasing and not the vague for the audience. I can say he's really great at speaking in public and delivering his words with emotions!👏🏻
actually the word i see something in you is an expression of support. ıf there are people who are close to us and love us in our life, they will support us in every way and connect us to life again🌹
I first came across your speech in one of the toastmasters pathway's project video and automatically I knew I need to follow more of your work! This is such a great speech, thank you TM Dananjaya for this!
This video is very profound, illustrating the importance of family and their roles in life. The transformation of a fearless person due to their mother is a significant testament. The father in the video is an idol; instead of just supporting him unconditionally, he guides him on the right path. The core message of the video is that it’s never too late to change your life. If you don’t take action now, it may become even harder later. However, the key is to keep moving forward, relying on those who genuinely guide you, even if they aren’t your closest friends.
This speech had everything - a good story, humor, beginning, middle, and end, props too, and most of all touched the audience emotionally. It was amazing and worth watching. The speaker is inspirational!
to be able to listen you need high state of consciousness and that is a rare thing , not many have it :) , cos to be able to listen you need hearth and compassion , and not many have that :)
i always wanted to be a good listener since i am a kid and i know many others that do to, "everyone" and "Noone" is black and white thinking that generates a lot of problems, I hope you "listen" to this message to realize that the world is more than just black and white, colors exists and they are beautiful, just because you may not see them doesn't mean they don't exist greetings from germany
Great point! ;-) I was actually searching YT for great examples of "listening" instead of talking.. IMO many are confusing listening with agreeing/submitting/ to others
The best thing about this speech 1.Repeated expression to engage 2. Body language - emphasize on the message 3.The use of the stage 4.Injected a sense of humour 5.The flow/ structure of the presentation 6.Create the positive vibes among the audience by giving motivational thought 7.The use of the props 8.Intonation
This is my goal: Win the Toastmasters International Public Speaking World Championship. I plan to accomplish this in two (2) years or less. I've joined a local club, am already scheduled to compete in upcoming speech contests next months. This, as Napoleon Hill writes in "Think and Grow Rich," is my BURNING DESIRE..., to become a World Champion Public Speaker.
I was in a deep depression at the end of 2014. Watching this speech did something to me... I think it planted a seed that would grow and help me out of that dark period. Thank you.
Dear Dhananjaya, I have just part taken in a "public speaking comptetion" and waiting for the results to be in the last 100 contestants. I feel am good at sending across my messages but did not know how to incorporate humour. You have just taught me how to do it. This is a complete speech... story, message, humour, pain and gratitude. Thanks for the lesson!
The speaker exhibited remarkable communication skills by incorporating exceptional body language, strategically employing repetition for memorability, exuding confidence, and effectively utilizing pauses. These elements collectively enhanced the overall impact and engagement of the presentation, leaving a lasting impression on the audience..
99.9 % guarantee...... you searched or spoke about more than three words contained in his speech......BOOM recommendations abound...! Thats how algorithms function.
As a Srilankan born, it makes me proud that we have such talented people. As medical educator I can say that the most useful tool is sincerity and humour which you maximised! I see something in you but I don't know what it is! What a powerful Mantra for inspiring others!! Do keep it up!
Hi baby how are you doing now i hope you are really doing good you are awesome looking at you baby makes happy when I look at your picture it is beyond my imagination that a creature like you really exist like a rose you make the garden so beautiful You are a diamond to any man that have eyes to see goodness of a womanhood Baby am Ben easy going person very understandable Am a civil engineer and a contractor I work at so many places like Asia Europe and Africa I love art craft and I write music I like ideal people when I see your picture am impress I want a good woman that understand what real love is all about who will understand me and perfectly be for me So we can build our world strong enough to care for each other I want you to be mine and I hope to hear from you soonest thanks
I applaud you, Mr. Hettiarachchi. You must be quite proud of your nation. It is understandable why people view you as the best. Your delivery of the speech was impressive and fun! The emotion you sent to the audience can be noticed in the way you delivered your words. In addition to inspiring many students, you did a very great job at it! Keep up the wonderful effort, sir, and I hope you'll continue to motivate more people especially teens. I would surely recommend this to my friends and loved ones so that they can also realize and be inspired by your words. Godspeed and may you continue to inspire others more!
Take every single great international speech, "put them all together", you get this speech.

the pauses are immaculate

That s was a great speech! I would never have discovered this if it wasn't for my English Teacher! She showed the class and believe me everyone was crying their eyes out after that ending! Great work!
Trey Pohe My English teacher also showed this but it was mostly laughs no one cried lol
"I see something in you but i don't know what it is."
What an amazing speech

Hello
Something I have been in search for quite sometime is a connection with somebody that goes beyond vanity. It's very hard to do in this day and age. People can be, somewhat very superficial.
On my quest to achieve this I have learnt a lot about human nature. It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people.
While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there. Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there.
I've been in the process of change for a while now and I have made some decent changes but don't you just hate it when people can't let go of your past mistakes.
I saw your profile and it intrigued me. I wanted to learn more about who you are and what type of path you would like on in life. Can we talk?
New Bernie Mac 😂
I watched this video for the first time today. And it made me laugh, made me think, and made me cry too! Best 7 minutes of an amazing experience, today! I liked this video. I bookmarked this too. And of course, I subscribed. I see something in you Dananjaya Hettiarachchi. You are a charismatic, authentic, and awesome human being! Thank you for reminding me to appreciate all the people who helped me and those who saw something in me. I wish you the best!
Dananjaya Congratulations !
Dananjaya, is an amazing human being. When I first met him at Virtusa at a lunch table I saw something special in him. I knew what it was that I was sure this handsome man would go long long way. Not only because of his personality you see, but also of his ability to listen to and ability to talk and advice someone through his vision. Several times I had lunch with him and we shared our stories . He is an AMAZING HUMAN BEING. I am fortunate to say that he is a friend of mine.
Gavinn Francis Fernando envy of u Sir
Gavinn Francis Fernando let me guess you saw something special on him but you don't know what it is yet...
This is my #1 Favorite Toastmasters Presentation and I would dare say one of the best to grace the World Championship Stage. Nearly flawless!

Just to note, it's a Toastmaster's World Championship.
Super love his speech.... impactful...
im proud of you buddy, luv from srilanka
Karthik Muthusamy sub me 😍
Really he is very good ... respect from india
Not just the speech, but the gestures, even the triumphant finger in the air at the end which signaled, "beat that"
Beautiful.
Brilliant!
Wow - a marvelous opening - memorable use of visual aids - beautiful flow from opening into the body of the speech - superbly crafted language - superlative timing - stupendous rapport with audience - arresting storytelling - staggering self-confidence - delightful humour - glorious celebration.
Next time: maybe say "Ladies & Gentlemen & Talk Show for Talkers"
Otherwise carry on speaking in the same vein - changing the world for us all
Wow - what a worthy winner, and a wonderful human being.
I had the pleasure of speaking with Dananjaya on the "The Talk Show For Talkers" on
www.irishradiointernational.com
comes across as humble, sincere and generous with his time. Truly a World Champion!

Typical Sri Lankan dad 😅
Haha a typical lankan joke,it's all in good faith tho
English is wik 😂
I'm so proud of a fellow srilankan like him
I think I accidentally stumbled across this video on UA-cam and I am now grateful this video was in my search results! The speech is simply impressive, from start to finish. Mr Dananjaya nailed it and I still remember his signature message "I see something in you but I don't know what it is!"! I have watched this speech several times and it energizes me every time. When I first watched this speech, I had no plan of joining Toastmasters. Interesting how my first Toastmasters meeting was yesterday and I am actually planning to become an official member! Thank you Mr Hettiarachchi for the great inspirational speech! P.S. I am proud a fellow Sri Lankan won the 2014 competition!
Every year I must come back to rewatch this presentation 😊
Wow,that is the most wonderful speech I ever heard.
Power,gesture,voice,expression,attitude and mind,
everything is perfect.
I'm very very very impressed.
He is from Sri Lanka.
agree with you, that is very impressed
Watch he ending speech by Charlie Chaplin in the movie Dictator and you'll see a wonderful speech... ;-)

This speech made us see something in us and only realize what kind of person we are. Great speech, spoken from the heart.
This kept me hooked for the entire 7 odd minutes. Would like to mention something though - if you have great people around you who genuinely value you, are your well wishers and try to bring the best in you, be grateful to the universe(and to those people of course) as not everyone have them. But in any case, your life is YOUR responsibility and you yourself need to find a way out of the mess life at times put you in. Let's not wait for any angel to sort things out for you. Be your own angel. Thanks for reading. Hope you have a good life.
He is a Sri Lankan !!! I’m proud of that and I’m pretty sure his cool dad also sri lankan😍
Of course he would be!
Proud to be a lankan!
@@cheapreviews7785 Proud to be a lankan!
And his emotional mom too 🤣🤣🤣
චාටර් කරන්න එපා ඕයි ලංකාව. ධනංජයත් පච වෙනවා උඹලා වගේ ප්රවුඩ් හිඟන්නො නිසා.
A simple text crafted intelligently to conform to judging criteria to maximize scoring and not to speak of the natural, smooth delivery. The prop (rose) played a pivotal role in providing the speech with an attention grabbing opening and an effective conclusion. The lacing of humor and engaging the audience with questions also played a role in maximizing scoring. The best part of course is the simple, natural delivery without extravagant gestures and body language.

This was truly the best talk I have ever heard
Abdul Rahim Hasan very good feedback
Damn nigga
You looked a winner the moment you stepped in. Very composed and well prepared.
This speech had everything a good humor story beginning,middle,and end props too, and most of all touched the audience emotionally. It was amazing and worth watching. Most inspiring speech!❤
How many watching this in 2024
Meeee
Yuuuh
Meeee😊
Me😢
I love this... watching this for the first time, you'll never know what's coming or how the story gonna is gonna end. You'll end up laughing at intervals, keeping eyes out for flaws and lapses and at the end of the video, realize you just watched something truly amazing, maybe the greatest speech on UA-cam.
This is great! I actually almost started clapping my hands here in my room behind my computer! I am definitely joining the TM!
Very nice
What is TM? I wanna be a public speaker too
+Marciano Lie A Young I clapped...lol
+Nooraihan Manaf Toastmasters International.
The way he deliver his speevh was very catchy. His chosen words of the speech was sound pleasing and not the vague for the audience. I can say he's really great at speaking in public and delivering his words with emotions!👏🏻
I really enjoy that speech every time i watch it as if it's my first time to see it :)
Wishing you all the success
A true Toastmaster! Since I listened to this speech, I see something everywhere but I don't know what it is.
Brilliant. Profound. I actually fought back a tear watching this
actually the word i see something in you is an expression of support. ıf there are people who are close to us and love us in our life, they will support us in every way and connect us to life again🌹
I first came across your speech in one of the toastmasters pathway's project video and automatically I knew I need to follow more of your work! This is such a great speech, thank you TM Dananjaya for this!
Voldemort: "Avada Kedavra"
Harry Potter: "dananjaya..hettiarachchi"

Lol

Being surrounded by great people is always a second chance in life💞
100%!!!
This video is very profound, illustrating the importance of family and their roles in life. The transformation of a fearless person due to their mother is a significant testament. The father in the video is an idol; instead of just supporting him unconditionally, he guides him on the right path. The core message of the video is that it’s never too late to change your life. If you don’t take action now, it may become even harder later. However, the key is to keep moving forward, relying on those who genuinely guide you, even if they aren’t your closest friends.
This is a speech I ever, never see before. Love is so much . Thanks 🙏

This speech had everything - a good story, humor, beginning, middle, and end, props too, and most of all touched the audience emotionally. It was amazing and worth watching. The speaker is inspirational!
Everyone wishes to be a good speaker but no one wanting to be a good listener?
to be able to listen you need high state of consciousness and that is a rare thing , not many have it :) , cos to be able to listen you need hearth and compassion , and not many have that :)
@@divedeepinside-JK your so philosophical :")
@Staying Sober truth
i always wanted to be a good listener since i am a kid and i know many others that do to, "everyone" and "Noone" is black and white thinking that generates a lot of problems, I hope you "listen" to this message to realize that the world is more than just black and white, colors exists and they are beautiful, just because you may not see them doesn't mean they don't exist
greetings from germany
Great point! ;-) I was actually searching YT for great examples of "listening" instead of talking.. IMO many are confusing listening with agreeing/submitting/ to others
The best thing about this speech
1.Repeated expression to engage
2. Body language - emphasize on the message
3.The use of the stage
4.Injected a sense of humour
5.The flow/ structure of the presentation
6.Create the positive vibes among the audience by giving motivational thought
7.The use of the props
8.Intonation
I will one day break this man's record💪a very fantastic speech🎉
Yeah that 3 types of tears ...
I wanna give all happinese to my mom and dad
This is my goal: Win the Toastmasters International Public Speaking World Championship. I plan to accomplish this in two (2) years or less. I've joined a local club, am already scheduled to compete in upcoming speech contests next months. This, as Napoleon Hill writes in "Think and Grow Rich," is my BURNING DESIRE..., to become a World Champion Public Speaker.
That's great!! never give up on your dream!
Lubna hussein Absolutely!
***** Awesome! Where are you from?
***** Awesome! All the best to you, brother.

I was in a deep depression at the end of 2014. Watching this speech did something to me... I think it planted a seed that would grow and help me out of that dark period. Thank you.

This is the best out of all the comments here
Lmao
Dear Dhananjaya, I have just part taken in a "public speaking comptetion" and waiting for the results to be in the last 100 contestants. I feel am good at sending across my messages but did not know how to incorporate humour. You have just taught me how to do it. This is a complete speech... story, message, humour, pain and gratitude. Thanks for the lesson!
This is simply one of the best speeches I've ever heard 😍😍
Watched your speech many times and still love it! Congratulations and thank you!
Who's watching in 2024 February?

The speaker exhibited remarkable communication skills by incorporating exceptional body language, strategically employing repetition for memorability, exuding confidence, and effectively utilizing pauses. These elements collectively enhanced the overall impact and engagement of the presentation, leaving a lasting impression on the audience..

As a Srilankan born, it makes me proud that we have such talented people. As medical educator I can say that the most useful tool is sincerity and humour which you maximised! I see something in you but I don't know what it is! What a powerful Mantra for inspiring others!! Do keep it up!

AWESOME!!!! Very Hilarious but at the same TIME a HIGHLY PROFOUND WORD.
I applaud you, Mr. Hettiarachchi. You must be quite proud of your nation. It is understandable why people view you as the best. Your delivery of the speech was impressive and fun! The emotion you sent to the audience can be noticed in the way you delivered your words. In addition to inspiring many students, you did a very great job at it! Keep up the wonderful effort, sir, and I hope you'll continue to motivate more people especially teens. I would surely recommend this to my friends and loved ones so that they can also realize and be inspired by your words. Godspeed and may you continue to inspire others more!
You're a champ, buddy! Well expressed and flawlessly executed story!
