2. Public speaking is the art of speaking to a group of
people in a structured manner intended to inform,
influence or entertain the audience. Most careers will
require that you give presentations or deliver
speeches. But for many people, public speaking is at
best a chore marked by great anxiety and at worst a
potential career stopper. Speaking in public is one of
the most feared activities. Public speaking can be a
downright terrifying experience, and few have the
training and confidence required to overcome the
fear of public speaking and connect with an audience.
The reluctance to get up in front of an audience is
often a major impediment to career advancement.
Mastering the art of public speaking will boost your
confidence and give you a competitive edge.

3. The importance of mastering public speaking
techniques to address audiences effectively and
powerfully has been an issue since the beginnings
of recorded history. The Bible's Old Testament
makes no bones about the fact that the most
influential prophets and leaders were those who
could sway their audiences verbally. Throughout
history, oratory skills have repeatedly proved to
the decisive factor that turns the tide of public
opinion. The Powerful oratory skills of many
leaders have won wars, averted mass panic and
saved companies from financial disaster.

4. Most of us have to overcome an initial fear of
speaking in public (technically known as 'glossophobia'
or 'stage fright). When an audience senses this fear
in a speaker, it tends to shut him or her out for that
reason alone. Fear of public speaking has visible
manifestations that any audience can pick up
immediately. These include:
· Shuffling from foot to foot
· Not knowing what to do with one's hands
· Stuttering and stumbling over words
· Speaking too fast
· Not looking at the audience while speaking
· Referring to written notes too many times
· Clearing one's throat repeatedly

5. Building a relationship with one's audience is very
important. A lecturing style of public speaking does
not include the audience as a participant. While
lecturing is useful if the speaker must convey a lot of
information in a limited period, it can also be
incredibly boring to an audience. Involving one's
audience by asking it questions, making it laugh and
inviting any other kind of feedback numbers among
the most effective public speaking techniques.
Successful public speaking involves more than just
choosing the right words (though this is certainly an
important factor). Effective public speaking
techniques include establishing a rapport and
relationship with the audience in many different
ways.

7. Mahatma Gandhi Speech - Quit India
The Quit India speech by Mahatma Gandhi
August 8th 1942
“In the mist of death, life persists. In the mist of untruth, true
persists. In the mist of darkness, light persists. Hence I gather that
God is life, truth, and light. He is love; he is the supreme good... “

8. “ Let me explain my position clearly. God has vouchsafed to me a
priceless gift in the weapon of Ahimsa. I and my Ahimsa are on our trail
today. I may not hesitate and merely look on, when Russia and China are
threatened.
Ours is not a drive for power, but purely a non-violent fight for India’s
independence. in a violent struggle, a successful general has been often
known to effect a military coup and to set up a dictatorship. A non-violent
soldier of freedom will covet nothing for himself, he fights only for the
freedom of his country . May be that the reins will be placed in the hands
of the Parsis, for instance-as I would love to see happen-or they may be
handed to some others whose names are not heard in the Congress
today. It will not be for you then to object saying, “This community is
microscopic. That party did not play its due part in the freedom’s
struggle; why should it have all the power?” Ever since its inception the
Congress has kept itself meticulously free of the communal taint. It has
thought always in terms of the whole nation and has acted accordingly. . .

Speech by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister
of the Republic of India
August 14, 1947

12. “Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when
we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very
substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India
will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in
history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when
the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this
solemn moment we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her
people and to the still larger cause of humanity. ----------------------
To the people of India, whose representatives we are, we make an appeal to
join us with faith and confidence in this great adventure.
“The appointed day has come-the day appointed by destiny-and India stands
forth again, after long slumber and struggle, awake, vital, free and independent.
The past clings on to us still in some measure and we have to do much before
we redeem the pledges we have so often taken. Yet the turning-point is past,
and history begins anew for us, the history which we shall live and act and
others will write about.--------------------
And to India, our much-loved motherland, the ancient, the eternal and the ever-
new, we pay our reverent homage and we bind ourselves afresh to her service.
