Once you have made a careful decision based on facts, go into action. Don't stop to reconsider. Don't begin to hesitate, worry, and retrace your steps. Don't lose yourself in self-doubting which begets other doubts. Don't keep looking back over your shoulder.

Your purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt.

Good speakers usually find when they finish that there have been four versions of the speech: the one they delivered, the one they prepared, the one the newspapers say was delivered, and the one on the way home they wish they had delivered.

It isn't work that makes you tired, it's your mental attitude.

So, to prevent fatigue and worry, the first rule is: Rest often. Rest before you get tired.

There are always three speeches, for every one you actually gave. The one you practiced, the one you gave, and the one you wish you gave.

Fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind.
