If you can continue to temper your speech as mentioned above, then, in the near future, you will also become a famous speaker.Lauder George, whose hometown is a small town in Wales, when he was a member of the local speech association, often strolled on the country paths, facing the trees and railings around him to deliver passionate speeches. In his youth, Lincoln often had to walk thirty or forty miles back and forth to listen to a speech by a famous speaker, Brackenretz.Every time he came back from the speech scene, he was full of enthusiasm and determined to become a speaker.So he called his hired friends in the field, and he climbed the mound, or gave a speech, or told anecdotes.For this reason, his employer resented him, declaring him the laziest man in the area, because Lincoln's speeches or stories made other employees no longer at the mercy of their employers.
