Think before you speak

While people may feel that the steps outlined here demand a great deal of preparation before the final speech is delivered, the explanation may be given that after all, this careful preparation merely carries out the adage–think before you speak.
If there were more thinking there would be at once better speaking.
Anybody can talk. The better prepared you are, the better your speech.
The purpose of studying is to make one a better speaker. Hopefully, the reason you are on the website is that you are in the process of planning a future speech.
It is also worth knowing that none of this preliminary work is actually lost. Nor is it unseen. It appears in the speech itself. The reward for all its apparent slowness and exacting deliberation is in the clearness, the significance of the speech, its reception by the audience, its effect upon them, and the knowledge by the speaker that her efforts are producing results in his accomplishments.
