The Honorable Mr.Masjari and Mrs.Azizah as our judges in this English Performance Test. My name is Shafira Hany Maris. In this opportunity, I would like to deliver the speech about Secret Keys to Pursue Total Quality Management.

Have you ever heard the term “total quality management”? What is total quality management exactly? Total quality management or usually known as TQM in business world, is a process involving management and employees continually finding ways to improve their products and services.

Now the question is: how is it relevant with our daily life?

Ladies and gentlemen.

Lately, our beloved school had a problem with the leak of Questions for Science Test in 1^st semester. What was exactly happen? What made it possible to happen in the most favorite school ever in Probolinggo?   Well, we can say that the students of our school lacked the understanding of the total quality management. They chose the wrong way to reach the top. They decided to cheat rather than work by themselves.  

As we know, the reason why we go to school is to learn. If we are thinking about cheating, then we likely have not learned something that is important enough to be tested on. Cheating will not only make you lose the trust of your friends but also your teachers. Some people might think that cheating is such a simple issue. But in fact, it will make you be a bad person in the future. We might not have to worry because this cheating issue can be solved by applying the total quality management in daily life.

The application of total quality management in our daily activities will make a balance life. Total quality management will not only improve our life physically but also mentally.  Total quality management is like a goal needed to be reached in everyday life. Having it reached will help us to live a better life. That way, we can be successful in the future.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Each of us has been destined to be a great and successful person. But does everyone become successful in the future? Does everyone see a bright light in the end? No. Even when we’re destined to be, not every one of us is able to reach the top-the total quality management.  Today I am standing here because I want to open a secret box that holds 5 amazingly powerful yet hidden weapons: the keys to pursue the total quality management.

First weapon: SMARTNESS. Smartness is indeed something you can’t easily buy in E-Bay or another online commercial site. But, I am sure we can obtain it if we work hard and never give up reaching the top. What I mean by smartness here is not just in academical way but also in emotional and spiritual way. A smart person is capable of making a response to changing circumstances. Being smart helps you distinguish something that is right or wrong. It makes you a critical person. It makes every decision in your life reasonable and certain. Which is why it can help you to be more efficient and effective in pursuing the total quality management.

Second weapon: DISCIPLINES. Can you imagine what will happen if everyone in the world has no sense of disciplinary? The world will certainly be in a total chaos. Discipline promotes good human behavior to better society and makes it a more pleasant place for everyone. A student who is discipline in his/her actions and decisions is way ahead of the game. The ability to focus and complete tasks increases with self-discipline. Margaret Thatcher ever said, “Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.”  

Third weapon: PRIDE. Pride in one's self compels a person to push themselves to their limit, and sometimes beyond. It shows that one has a motivation to complete a task and do it to the best of their ability.  Many naturally talented people get their work done just to get praise and acknowledgment from others, however when a person finishes a task for them-even though they may not be as talented as the others; it shows that they have integrity. Yet, all of that would not matter if you don’t get praise because you did it for you. In the real world, people may survive by only doing minimal work, but they will not get far. It is important to take pride in one’s work because it will force your own mental to take the extra step. In short, a sense of pride will push you to do your best and bring you to the success you’ve been dreaming of.

Fourth weapon: SELF-CONFIDENCE. Some people were born with it, some have to work for it, and others do not know how to obtain it. One really needs to be confident in what they do in order to succeed. The more self-confidence you have the less anxious you will be. One of the major reasons of why a person is anxious is that they doubt their ability to handle a situation. If we are confident enough that we can handle it correctly, we won’t feel anxious. Self-confidence cannot be taught, but it is reached by the individual when they decide to believe in themselves. Dalai Lama said, “With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world.” And so did Helen Keller, Helen Keller said, “Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.”

Last weapon: OBEDIENCE. Being obedient is not only limited to our parents or teachers at school. Beside them, it is also important that we become obedient vertically towards our God. All of us need God. We need God to pray to when we have done everything in our power with our hard work to make things happen. We need God to be grateful to when we have all things that we need in life. We need God to be successful. Because only with His blessings and guide we can get anything we want. That is why being obedient to our God is necessary. We can be obedient by doing His order and staying away from the things that He forbids us to do.

            So, ladies and gentlemen.

Those are the secret weapons to pursue the total quality management that I’ve shared with you. I have learned those things from so many successful people in this world, and now I am going to implement those to myself in daily life. Every day, people across the globe are trying to find new ways to enrich their lives. Some face extreme challenges and obstacles in this journey, causing them to be afraid of changing their routines. While it can be a difficult process, the rewards for trying to live a better life are worth the sweat and tears. Last but not least, I hope Indonesia can be a great country if its society applies total quality management constantly and consistently in their life. I used to imagine having a peace world was as easy as we flip over our palms. And indeed, it will be so much easier if we do these secret keys. Let’s build a better life for our young generation!

Well, I’ve shared the secret to pursue the total quality management with you, I hope you would spread these words, tell your family, your friends.

Learn it. Own it. Live it.

Ladies and Gentlemen. That’s all.

Thank you for your attention. Last I say,

Wassalamualaikum Wr. Wb.
