How often we all have heard speakers begin by calling the attention of the audience to their lack of preparation or lack of ability. If you are not prepared, the audience will probably discover it without your assistance.

If you got it, ask yourself why and try to repeat the action. If you failed, ask yourself why and try to learn from the experience.

Don't you have much more faith in ideas that you discover for yourself than in ideas that are handed to you on a silver platter?

The ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I swiped them from Chesterfield. I stole them from Jesus. And I put them in a book. If you don't like their rules, whose would you use?

Take a chance! All life is a chance

Remember that other people may be totally wrong. But they don't think so. Don't condemn them. Any fool can do that. Try to understand them. Only wise, tolerant, exceptional people even try to do that.

I deal with the obvious. I present, reiterate, and glorify the obvious - because the obvious is what people need to be told.
