Chapter 72 Use concise and sincere compliments

At the Pennsylvania Society Gathering in New York, Charles Skweber concluded his speech with the above.Immediately, his audience was immersed in an atmosphere of excitement, optimism, and happiness.Undoubtedly, it is an admirable conclusion, but, in a speech, the speaker must be full of sincerity, not falsely flattering and arbitrary expansion, to achieve perfect effect.And, especially noteworthy: a failure to end this way could be a total fiasco, and the audience will get nothing.
