Speech: How to achieve success?

Honourable dignitaries on and off the dias, respected judges, curious audience , I would like to express my views on the  topic which is close to everyone's heart i.e. 'How to achieve success in life ' . It's pleasure to see such huge audience here. I recall some lines here.

    "The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
    But I have promises to keep
    And miles to go before I sleep
   And miles to go before I sleep "

Friends, as you know there is no shortcut to success . To achieve success you need proper guidance. You should have clear view of the success you want. So set the goal you want to achieve. Dedication towards the goal is an important factor. Nothing can be gained without it. In achieving success, planning plays a crucial role. Plan your work and execute it accordingly. Well planned  is half done. You need to read the successful stories to get inspired. Shouldn't we follow the successful people ? The most important thing to pursue the goal is knowledge and information without which goal will be fruitless. Get the knowledge from all the sources. Collect essential information about the goal you have set.
Is there anything impossible? The word 'impossible' itself says I'm possible. Working with passion and confidence will gear up you towards success. Remember, hard work is the key to success. In the journey of success on  many occasions, your have to sacrifice some petty things . Never give up attitude and perseverance are the two weapons to win the success. Believe in your efforts, success will be yours. I would like to wind up speech. Thanks for the patience you have shown during my entire speech. I would like to say thanks to the organiser for organising elocution contest.
Thank you everyone.
