Well said 😅

😂😂😂😂 Like It 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great to see how dealing with doors situation brought laughter in audience life. Great performance, keep spreading laughter.

Thank you for sharing! I can't wait to share this with my Toastmaster Club. From 1988! That's amazing. A great speech stands the test of time!

Amazing

Done very well..enjoyed it

Rafique is one of the finest gentlemen I ever met. Great speech and great to see that he has not changed one bit in 40 years. Keep up the good work and keep staying young my friend

Thanks for sharing this fantastic speech, Rafique! I enjoyed how you "opened the doors of your heart and mind" to what would normally be considered a very mundane household object to which we clearly don't normally give much thought. Your delivery was confident, your gestures and vocal variety completely appropriate to the type of speech, and you kept the audience engaged throughout. It was great to see how you brought the speech to a conclusion by tracking back to the introduction and reminded us about how Ali Baba was able to open the door to a cave with just two words: "Open sesame". I really enjoyed everything about this. Thank you for sharing this with me and with the world. It gave me a good laugh and reminded me not to take life so seriously ... except doors. I'm going to have to watch out for them, to be sure.

Creatively delivered!

captions corrected and timing adjusted. Please comment with time-mark and error in comments. Thank you

Such a lighthearted and enjoyable speech! It's amazing how Rafique delves into an everyday experience and finds great humour in it. Thank you for sharing!

Great speech, very engaging. A fantastic point of view on something that would otherwise seem so mundane.

This humorous speech DOORS was presented at the Toastmasters International District 42 Spring Convention in Calgary in 1988. The speech had already won awards at the Club, Area, and Division levels in Edmonton. All speeches at the convention were recorded on a video cassette but the cassette got lost, and recently found in a basement and was digitized. How can DOORS be so humorous and funny? See and hear for yourself. If you like it please give it a thumbs up. Your comments will be much appreciated. Please share with family, friends and social groups. Thank you and have FUN.
