“We are the best of the best, gentlemen. You know, what is behind that wall? Immortality, take it, it’s yours!” –Achilles (Spartan)

Guten Tag, alle! (in German, good day, everyone!) Maybe, you heard this before. I think when we want to say in public, especially encouraging to other people, this is the thing you should say. That’s right folks, today I’m going to talk about rhetoric: the art of speaking eloquently.

First of all, we have to know “why” we speak in public. Most of them failed the purpose of rhetoric speaking which eventually it is the ultimate reason why they can’t even utter a single word at the stage. Do you know that no. 1 fear in US is not spiders, snakes but public speaking?! Hah! I know it’s quite surprising but that’s the reality, mates. In history, the Romans will elect their leader which has the capability to speak in public effectively to convey message done by the Council. For example, Julius Cesar is the men who responsible in influence his pupil to expand Rom by conquer the other place nearby and he became the Emperor which he abolished the Council later.

Now, we already know “why”, next, we approach on how we can convey our message efficiently to the audience. Again, you must know what are the purpose and your targeted audience. If you have kids as your listener, don’t you ever harsh on them and use softer tone as they are growing and trying to understand the world they live in. Other than that, you can apply the same thing to the elderly or people with higher rank than you. Nevertheless, for army or to motivate other people, we can use harsher tone and use stronger word together with action that implies the same thing. This will ultimately brings powerful message and probably you can win the war easily!

Haha, still worry huh? Nah, my father always said to me, to speak in front of other people, of course, you will be scared, but you can convert it to energy and energy will convert to effort. Make sense? How about the butterflies in your stomach slowly being digested and sap their energy to do the speaking? In short, just be confident, and focus to the task, not to the fear of the task. Before I end my post, I would like to announce that I’m not going to use Facebook and MSN messenger for one-year period. If you want to send me a message, just kindly use the chatbox and don’t ya ever use unnecessary language in it. Ok, thank you for your time, folks!
