Write a Speech, Not an Essay

There’s a huge difference between crafting a speech and writing an essay, yet too many people approach them in the same way. The average adult can read 300 words per minute, but can only follow a speech at half that rate. So speeches require you to simplify. To make sure your audience stays with you, state your thesis and lay out the structure of your speech first. Then, let listeners know where you are with signpost words (“second,” “finally,” etc.). Lead or end an argument with statistics, but don’t fall into reciting strings of numbers or citations. The human brain is wired for narrative, so focus on telling a compelling story. And remember that when delivering a speech, you are your punctuation. Use your voice, hand gestures, pacing, and your position on stage for emphasis.

Mr. Arun Jaitely and the Indian government are sadly and badly mistaken. The fact is that Pakistan and Kashmir are inseparable entities.

Actually, it is for the Indian government to accept the ground reality and decide between war and peace, with Pakistani and Kashmiri people.

Moreover, the Indian government should also be careful, while addressing all issues with Pakistan, which is neither Bhutan nor Nepal.

We the Pakistanis, know very well the worthlessness of India, which has even failed to subdue Sri Lanka, where recently about a dozen Indians, have been awarded death penalty.

Last but not the least, we Pakistanis also know that the United States leaders have clearly told India that it can’t be included in the UN Security Council, as its permanent member, until and unless india resolves Kashmir problem with Pakistan.

So, the fact is that it is in India’s own long term strategic interest, to be at peace with Pakistan; which obviously can’t be achieved without resolving the Kashmir dispute, in accordance with the UN resolution; and the aspirations of the people of Kashmir.

Indian policy makers must repeat must, clear their mind that it can not gain anything, by its newly adopted policy of verbal and military aggression. Pakistan is NOT made of the material, which can be subjugated by India.

Mr. Arun Jaitely, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

My reply to the Indian defence minister’s following statement:

@DunyaTV: Pak should decide whom to talk to, govt or separatists: Jaitley http://t.co/oYfV3iLQKL

My reply:
@arunjaitley @ForeignOfficePk Pakistan and Kashmir are inseparable it is for India to decide if its wants to live in peace with Pak or not.

Have a Strategy for Impromptu Speaking

A key demand in business is the ability to speak off-the-cuff. Whether it’s giving an unexpected elevator pitch to a potential investor or being asked to quickly defend a proposal to sales, many of us have had to speak with no preparation. Next time, don’t panic. The worst business speeches are those that ramble on. If forced to speak, quickly draft a structure of your main argument on a notecard (or napkin). Jot down an introduction, two or three supporting points, and a conclusion. Use extra time to fill out any examples or data you want to address. Always state your thesis up front so listeners can easily follow your supporting comments. Focus on key stories and statistics, rather than your delivery. If you know your topic, the words will come. Finally, keep it short. When in doubt, say less.
