During my public speaker training, I learned it is inevitable that I will sometimes misspeak, stumble over my words, or make some sort of mistake. This prospect used to terrify me, and it was one of the reasons I avoided speaking so avidly. But what I realized was that it did not seem to matter when I made a mistake, if I applied the principle described in this section. I discovered I could mispronounce a word and even say something that did not quite make sense as long as I finished the statement with a tone of conviction, authority, and confidence.

During my public speaking training, I learned that making mistakes is a natural part of communication. Initially, the idea of stumbling over words or misspeaking frightened me, which is why I often shied away from speaking opportunities. However, I came to understand that the impact of such errors diminished when I embraced a key principle: delivering my message with conviction and confidence.

This realization allowed me to let go of the fear of imperfection. Even if I mispronounced a word or expressed myself unclearly, I found that finishing my statements assertively helped maintain my credibility and engaged the audience effectively. This shift in perspective has empowered me to speak freely, regardless of the occasional slip-up.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
