by Today, I came across an old video of mine. This is about 2 years old. Now the funny thing about old photos or videos is that no matter how much you hated the way you looked or spoke back then, when you watch them after a few years you simply love them.
It brings smiles and laughs and you are taken back in time which you cherish.
In this video, I was telling small children how to speak when given any topic. I had myself forgotten all this information, but after watching it I felt that I did talk sense.
I am learning from my own self about the tricks. Especially, I liked that I mentioned that any impromptu speech (meaning suddenly if you have to speak without much practice), you should consider three things:
- Mind – Try to filter out all the thoughts and talk about just one of the things in depth. That would make the talk interesting.
- Body – Use your hand gestures, smile, eye contact and feet movement so that it’s not just your mouth talking, but your entire body is speaking.
- Soul – This point I particularly loved. Basically, you have to be fully present in the moment. Don’t think what others are thinking about you, otherwise you will lose points on this aspect. If you’re able to smell that coffee is brewing in the other room, then that means you are fully present and enjoying the moment.
Watch the video for my 2 year old self explaining these points. Let me know which point you like most.
