Author of quotes: Alexander Kubersky. Page 21

People always want something alive and real, not fake and pretentious.

You can admit to the public any of your weaknesses. For example, you have lost a thought or missed the essence of the issue, do not hesitate to ask the audience to remind you where you stopped.

There are exactly the same people sitting in the hall like you, and they, too, are afraid to speak in public, and if you confess to them your weaknesses, they will begin to support you. But, if you try to hide your fear, then you can be sure that all people sitting in the audience or auditorium will see it.

The most important thing is to admit to yourself that you are afraid of public speaking. We want to be strong personalities and therefore do not admit to ourselves even our own fears.

Fear becomes less when you stop fighting it. Let the fear be in your mind and it will decrease in a matter of seconds.

If you remove the fear of speaking, you will no longer feel responsible for every word spoken. When a speaker does not feel even a little fear, he easily turns into a boor.

But speaking in itself does not threaten anything, but disgrace in front of everyone is already a threat, and it is public shame that causes fear. It's a shame when people laugh at you, and when people sitting in the auditorium laugh, it is a hundred times more offensive.

Fear always reminds of responsibility.

I have had failures and fiasco. I was publicly insulted several times, and this is very humiliating and insulting. Not knowing the secrets of oratory, I got from the audience what I deserved.

Anyone who is unable to move up the career ladder can wonder - can he speak in public? And if not, then perhaps this is one of the reasons why he does not move up these stairs.

Note that a political conspiracy can happen without an orator, but a revolution cannot. All world revolutions were created not just by leaders, but by outstanding orators.

There are no leaders, politicians or religious leaders who do not know how to speak in public. Any leader is, first of all, a speaker.

If in my youth I appreciated all the advantages of oratory, then probably my fate would have been somewhat different. You could reach completely different heights in your life, using only oratory.

I am ready to be a speaker and speak in any situation and in front of any audience. In such moments, I am convinced that oratory is the most valuable science that everyone should possess.
