Good humour

Professor M Zahidul Haque, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka
Recently, Dr. Rajiv Shah was sworn in as the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Dr Rajiv in his swearing-in function presented a long speech highlighting various aspects and goals of the USAID. I have gone through the full text but I liked the humour Dr. Rajiv had presented in the beginning of his speech which I would like to share with fellow readers. It read: “When I began preparing my remarks for today, I asked my wife, Shivam, for advice. She told me - when you get on stage and everyone is cheering for Secretary Clinton, just pretend they're cheering for you.”
