[@alokkerketta4402]

Many people don't believe in their versatility but after viewing this speech l started believing in me. 😍

[@jdmohan51]

Very matured talk that would definitely inspire the younger generation. Dr. Divya is an IAS officer, a medical practicener, dancer and a singer has got all sort of knowledge to deliver to the youth of india and other. I think that her uninterepted n fluent talk would inspire many and make use of it.

[@ratheesh0]

First of all I appreciate this young IAS Civil Servant. Apart from this video, she had narrated the stories already as she had been participated many English elocution competition during her academics. Language is not a criteria to determine one's ability and capacity. But she proved herself on her knowledge and education. Moreover, she is an ardent, voracious reader that we need to appreciate. Here, those who are denouncing her, try to understand we all are well in speaking English or communicate the English language but when are supposed to confront a gathering on the stage may be dropped many of the points which we wished to speak on. It is a truth and my experience shares here.

[@susanbenjamin7267]

One can't find any fault in her pronunciation & English.She's really good & a multifaceted person .

[@annfrank9440]

She is so inspiring..and i feel pity on the fools who commented on her English...English isn' t her mother toungue...Every Human being will have influence of mother toungue while speaking English whether she is Indian, Spanish , or French...so stop commenting on her fluency and have brain to grasp the knowledge she is sharing !

[@Saranvs333]

you are absolutely correct. Criticism is good. But it should be a conservative one. What she trying to raise through is to be looked into rather all these untoward pieces of stuff.

[@IB-ub5sr]

they words inspired a lot of people who think they are hope less.. language is not matter.

[@tintujoseph6301]

[@ilaramesh6943]

Who told her English is not good. As far as i know her English pronunciation and fluency is excellent. There's no influence of malayalam coming in and that's what Astonished me. Even after studying in kerala unlike most malayalees she speaks fluent and correct English.... Proud of you divya ma'am.

[@palakkadan5386]

Life and speech are different ....Very difgicult to practice

[@arunbabuktkmce]

I felt successful persons are not the ones with lot of dreams. Most of the persons have a short term dream and they try to accomplish it at proper time. I felt, for clearing IIT JEE at plus two, study for 2 years is enough. How we are approaching that short term goals matters. I felt, It is not dreaming that brings success, instead, working at proper time with maximum effort. All the other philosophies exaggerating dreaming are superficial enough to get claps.

[@canary7066]

really inspiring ::: loved d elephant story ;;; so true

[@kaustavchakraborty811]

the Tagore school of painting was formed & patronised by one of the brothers of the Gurudev, Abanindranath tagore...although , Gurudev himself did have connection with this school..the school of painting is actually named after his brother Abanindranath...Abanindranath himself was a superb writer too, credited with literary works mainly catering to children...apart from the trivial & unwitting distortion of that fact,the talk about versatility is really superb....especially the anecdote where the elephant was conditioned to believe in the powers of the fetters that limited the animal to explore his strength & ability...

[@SimpleIndian1]

Fine inspiring talk from a young IAS officer who's quite versatile herself. Wish more parents would feel this way, and raise their kids to be versatile, instead of chasing academic excellence alone.

One of the best speech i heard🌸

[@smithanair8805]

I simply love you.God bless you.

[@anikyt7570]

This is beautiful .. beautiful speech. Loved her many reason in favor of being versatile. To me versatile means more freedom (not handicapped or less dependent on others). Like I am good at technical skill but very bad at selling - not even sell my technical skill-sets profitably in the market. If I can acquire selling skill not only I can place myself better position as per my technical skill but also I can become an entrepreneur or consultant.

[@SudheerKumar-bp6sw]

THE TRUTH.

[@SudheerKumar-bp6sw]

Amazing speach. You are amazing in every field.

[@varsha8573]

I expect more calm ,intelligent discussion from an IAS officer,not just self-praise .

[@praveenkumarp6938]

Agree..

[@harip1364]

I am. Sorry what should she say. Like wat you expect. She worked veryhard studied more than 10hrs. Thats enough for every students to understand. No one got anything by luck and shortcut.

[@houseofdrishti1243]

Then what would would you really expect. The success really comes in when we can confidently show case ourselves in setting examples for others. Grow up

[@aswanyvarghesemusic5387]

First of all understand that a motivational speech always has a preamble of self indroduction which adds their own achievements.
