问题    Speaking in public is most people’s least favorite thing. The reason is that we’re all afraid of making fools of ourselves. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we become.
   But stop biting your fingernails. Public speaking is easy and I can tell you that public speaking is not a "gift" like musical talent or being able to draw. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned.
   Keep it simple and short.
   Your audience is going to come away with one or two of your main ideas. One or two. Not ten or twenty. If you can’t express in a sentence or two what you intend to get across, then your speech is not focused well enough. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, there is no way your audience will.
   Get organized.
   No matter how long or short your speech is, you’ve got to get your ducks in a row how you’re going to open, what major points you want to make and how you’re going to close.
   Be real
   You’re talking because you have experienced something the audience has not. Share it. Make the audience feel as you did—hot or cold, frightened or sad, annoyed or puzzled. The first-person singular is a powerful tool.
   Take charge.
   The first few moments of your speech establish the relationship between you and your audience. Don’t begin until you have everybody’s attention. When they’ve quietened, establish eye contact.
   Public speaking is not more difficult than using chopsticks or trying a bow tie. The mysterious becomes simple once you know how to do it.
   The next time it’s your turn to make a speech at a business meeting, club dinner or a party, see if my suggestion can work for you.
