The inefficiency of a book has to do with the knowledge of a man, if he does not know how to
express anything, all knowledge will serve, the objective of the book will be to teach the reader
how to express his ideas clearly in public and all the psychological sensations involved.

To begin training speech in public, a person must propose the "being" and "thinking" of what he
wants to transmit, without practice and without knowing how to control his mentality, he will be
nothing more than a machine that transmits information, for this it is necessary to train systems of
speech, intonations, and gestures and transmit the correct feeling.

Chapter 1 how to gain confidence before hearing

Being like a horse, he will never feel the fear that can be transmitted in an audience by the public,
because great speakers have had the intention of ending their audience by failing many times,
even many blacksmiths to put horseshoes on a horse usually distract by putting a rope in his nose,
which causes pain to the horse that will distract him, some mistakes that can be corrected before
and during an audience are having to speak in mind, fill the mind with ideas about the subject, it is
normal to have a blank mind but It is natural.

TO have self-confidence you must have something to trust, prepare the topic of speech and feel as
you want to imply your speech, if you feel negative, that is what you are going to transmit and you
must change that, in conclusion do not feel bad or apologize if you fail to speak is natural from
which you will learn everyday

Practice the power of expression, strength, feelings and practice to master what is intended to
speak to sound more and more fluid losing fear
