I did enjoy Bill’s Amazing Session tonight. It was not only funny but also very enlightening. I concluded several tips to share with you.
Quick Survey:
More than 60% people like public speaking
More than 70% people like Eng
More than 80% people feel it’s hard to select a speech topic
Question 1: What topic should we select?
Solution: What do you like? Is there anything you have passion with? What’s your talent?
The best speech topic is to share the thing you do love. It’s humanbeing’s nature. Nature is beauty. Just like to fall in love with the person you really love.
Question 2: Always be very picky about own speech.
Solution: It can not be an excuse not to prepare a speech. A very easy and important step is to take action. Prepare the speech, do it in public, find the points to make improvement, try again…Only in this way, could we get better and better. Most of us are not born as a talent. Just like to date someone, you could hardly find a perfect one but why not start to date a good one, then you can learn how to get along well with others and find your lover in the end.
Question 3: Worrying if the audience will be interested in the topic. For example, girls may not like basketball. Is it a good topic?
Solution: Assumption is a very big mistake. Less of confidence is also an obstacle in many people’s way. We could not assume audience don’t like it. Why you like it? Just share the personal feeling to influence audience in an interesting or touching manner. A lot of girls do like basket ball that’s why 樱木花道 so popular? We should cultivate the confidence to let audience like your topic with your perfect speech. Just like that you could not assume the ideal one don’t love you or you will miss the chance forever. Just be brave enough to attract his or her attention.
Questin 4: People may feel it is boring to listen to some too popular topics, such as confidence, love, dream, etc.
Solution: Truth is always the same, but story could be different. Everyone’s story must have some special things. Share your own stories and feelings from the bottom of your heart, you could do an “Oscar” speech. Just like movies are always with the theme of love and justice. But in every year’s Oscar, we could always enjoy the wonderful movies about different stories with alike themes.
I like our meeting more and more, because every time, I could learn a lot from our members.
