Lady Gaga’s tear jerking acceptance speech

Lady Gaga is truly a force to be reckoned with. After winning an Oscar for Best Original Song for “Shallow”, she went on to deliver a speech that had everyone moved. “If you are at home and you’re sitting on your couch and you’re watching this right now, all I have to say is this is hard work,” she began with tears in her eyes. “I have worked hard for a long time and and it’s not about winning. What it’s about is not giving up. If you have a dream, fight for it. There’s a discipline for passion: it’s not about how many times you get rejected or you fall down and get beaten up, but how many times you stand up, and are brave and you keep on going.”
