Chapter 45 The effect of attire on the speaker

A psychologist and university professor once conducted a questionnaire survey on many people: asking how their clothes affect themselves.The results of the survey are consistent: the respondents believe that when they have a new look, the impact is undoubted-they are full of confidence, their beliefs are strengthened, and their self-esteem emotions arise spontaneously.They also claim that when they appear successful in this way, they are more likely to desire to win and to win.These are the effects of attire on the speaker himself. On the other hand, what effect does a speaker's attire have on the public?I have observed this on more than one occasion: If a gentleman giving a speech wears belted trousers, a grotesque coat, shoes, fountain pens and pencils in and out of his coat pockets, newspapers or pipes or cigarette cases if the speaker is a lady with an ugly, bulging purse, and a sleeveless blouse—then the public will treat her with as little respect as he or she does. No respect at all.People have reason to think that their minds are probably as dirty as their unkempt hair, dirty shoes, and bulging wallets.
