20 POINTS I LEARNT FROM OBAMA'S SPEECH

He showed that we should be thankful.1-a nation carries on not by the skill and vision ofthose in high but by the people rem faithful to ideals of our forefathers.2-economy weakened by greed,irresponsibility and our collective failure to make hard choices that prep a nation for a new age. 3-choose hope over fear,unity of purpose over conflict and discord.4-proclaim an end to petty grievances,false promises.5-time to reaffirm our enduring spirit;choose our better history.6-uphold God given promise,all are equal,are free and deserve a chance to pursue full measure of happiness.7-nations journey never been one of shortcuts,for fainthearted or settling for less rather for risk takers,doers and makers;some celebrated.8-nation bigger than sum of our individual ambitions,greater than all differences of birth,wealth or faction.9-time of protecting narrow interests and putting of unpleasant decisions has passed.10-those who question scale of ambition,suggesting system cannot tolerate too many big plans,their memories are short and have forgotten what free men and women can do when imagination put to common purpose.11-to cynics the ground has shifted beneath them,that stale political arguments that have consumed us no longer apply.12-the right question is whether our government works;helps families find jobs or gives dignified retirement pensions.if answer yes we intend to move forward,if no programes will end.13-without watcful eye market can spin out of control and nation cannot prosper if it favours only the prosperous.14-success of economy not only on GDP,but also on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart.15-reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals,ideals which light the world and will not give them up for expedience sake.16-power does not entitle us to do as we please and it alone cannot protect us.security emanates from justness of our cause,force our example and tempering qualities of humility and restraint.17-we'll not apologise for our way of life nor waver in its defense.18-leaders will be judged what they can build not destroy.those who cling to power through corruption and deceit should know they are on wrong side of history.19-as much as a government can do its really the faith and determination of the people which a nation relies;its the kindness to take in a stranger when leeves break.20-let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end , that we did not turn back nor did we falter and with eyes fixed on horizon and God's grace upon us we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.
