Chapter 25 sincere self encouragement

Modern experimental psychologists agree that the drive generated by autosuggestion, even if feigned, is one of the most powerful stimuli for rapid learning. When it comes to building the right attitude when speaking in public, the same rules that have been said apply here.You can try the following three methods: After the theme is selected, arrange it according to the plan, talk about this topic with friends, and practice——this kind of preparation is not enough.You have to convince yourself that the subject matter is meaningful, and you must also have the attitude that has inspired great people in history-believe in yourself.How can I convince myself of this?Study the subject matter in detail, grasp its deeper meaning, and tell yourself that your speech will help your audience, and make them a better person after hearing it.

For example, if you think about negative things like that you might make a grammatical error, or suddenly stop talking halfway through, you're likely to lose confidence before you even start.It is especially important to take the attention away from yourself before you begin your presentation.Try to concentrate on listening to what other speakers have to say, and keep your attention on them so that you don't get undue stage fright. Unless there are great ideals to sacrifice, there will be moments when any speaker doubts his chosen subject.He will ask himself whether he is suitable for this topic, whether the audience will be interested, etc., and he may change the topic in a single thought.At this time, negative thoughts are likely to completely destroy your self-confidence. You should cheer yourself up first, and say to yourself frankly that the speech is very suitable for you, because it comes from your experience and your view on life. ; you are more qualified than any audience to give this particular speech, and, by heaven, you will do your best to make it clear.Does this ancient method work?Probably yes.Modern experimental psychologists agree that the drive generated by autosuggestion, even if feigned, is one of the most powerful stimuli for rapid learning.That being the case, the effect of sincere self-encouragement based on facts will be more obvious.
