But that’s not the worst I feel. The worst are those adopting the “sex sells” themes. 90% of the time I walk away without losing out a single bit.

And remember those teachers/ lecturers/ professors who are just so boring… no wonder we failed some subjects.

I’ve recently saw a friend’s presentation on powerpoint, I have never hear him present in real life but based on the video, it’s intriguing and entertaining enough for me to sit through.

Sometimes, the most successful businessman doesn’t makes him the best public speaker. If the ministers of various countries have to sit through mandatory grooming sessions and public speaking lessons, I wonder how on earth can the fortunes of a businessman command attention on stage with boring speeches.

Public speaking is definitely a must-learn skill. It is extremely difficult to hold a speech so well to grasp the hearts of the audiences with one sweeping line.
