Public Speaking

To speak is easy; to speak in public is not. To speak in public and off the cuff, is difficult; to speak with great precision, with added humor and with rhetorical devices, is a humongous task.

A lifelong learning and developing process. Nobody can claim mastery not even Winston Churchill. This means once we started this speaking pathway, we are constantly and consistently grinding ourselves, and polishing our desired personal objectives.

When we speak, at times we only focus on the substance of the message, not the form of delivery. That's not good public speaking but perhaps only emotional outburts or sudden roars of thunder. It's the form of public speaking which dresses up the entire message in as precise a way as you possibly can. That's real public speaking at its epitome and expressed intellectual beauty.

Just as a good photographer having taken a beautiful picture must know how to construct an elegant picture frame to make its entirety. Learning how to make a good picture frame is an art, a passive one, learning how to speak well in public is likewise, an art, but an active one.

Both are human development skills, only emotional strings played on the spot which touch you spontaneously, set them apart.
