How to Speak well?

 How to Speak?

Seneca

Letters from a Stoic



My notes: 

Steadiest speaker , when before public,

Breaks into perspiration 

As if he had been in tread-mill

Some tremble in knees,

As if Earthquake is occurring


For Some their teeth chatter

as if under delirium 

Someone whose tongue sticks to upper roof

as if They drank fevicol 

For some lips quiver

as if drunk


Now this happens to the steadiest of speaker

Not to the Novice


Now Good news and the Bad News from Seneca himself


Bad news: That which is implanted cannot be overcome

Good news : You can tone it done to such an extent that audience wont know - your perspiration, nervousness,

through sheer practice


Training and Practice prevent the natural tendencies from taking over you!
