Don’t try to imitate others- BE YOURSELF

This chapter is saying that we all admire speakers who can put showmanship into their speaking, who are not afraid to express themselves, not afraid to use the unique, individual, imaginative way of saying what they have to say to the audience.

It also reminds me of one of my old co-workers who’s name is Rick Spence. He worked as Video Director and you probably will notice him as well, because he used to be a host of HGTV’s Curb Appeal.

He was a someone who can put showmanship into their speaking and his attitude is very different in general. It is very distinct from others and it is very noticeable.

There is something besides the mere words in a talk which counts and it is like the flavor with which they are delivered. I think it is like art. The tiny difference is the matter of painting and speaking is the same thing.

This paragraph said “A young man ought to get that idea about himself; he should look for the single spark of individuality that makes him different from other folks, and develop that for all he is worth. But don’t let that spark be lost and it is your only real claim to importance. You have an individuality and it is the most precious possession.”
