Public speaking initially started with the famous Greek philosopher Aristotle back in the 300s BC. Aristotle discovered that in order to rally the citizens into conformity, one needed to persuade people. This is what he called rhetoric, and it's defined as the capacity to persuade people, and he broke it down into three strategies:

Ethos

Logos

Pathos

Ethos is used when the source is credible and the speaker can show authority over the subject matter(an adminstrator,ploitical leader etc). 

Logos is used when there are facts to support the argument requiring that the audience use logic and deduction to decide on the strengths of the speaker's argument(reports,stats etc).

 pathos is used for emotional appeals to gain audience acceptance.(being warm,calling them associates) .

In more modern times we Explore three types of public speaking in everyday life:

 informative:  Giving out information , 

persuasive:Appealing to their logic and trying to sell across our point 

entertaining:It is more informal kind of public speaking.

So public speaking or evolution of importance of public speaking is not a recent trend,It was in existence since time immemorial .

‪#‎Immersiontherapy‬ – to feel the fear and do it anyway – is by far the best way to overcome something.
Given enough exposure to what you fear, it will eventually have less power over you. 
You get used to it. 
That doesn’t make it an easy process to start, but at least you know the path

Humility

Humility is about being modest, respectful and putting others before ourself.  It is not calling attention to ourself or being rude.  It is about gratitude.  It is about  being a good sport....like an athlete who scores a touchdown, drops the ball and goes down on his knees to give thanks for his achievement.

It is about being courteous and saying “please” and “thank you” all the time, not just sometimes.  It is about being able to apologize to others even when we are just slightly in the wrong.  It is also about listening and open to learning from others.  Being humble is recognizing that everyone has different strengths and paying complements to other people.

It is good to be confident in ourself and to always strive to be the best we can be.  Yet, truly successful people strive not only to be their best, but to be great in how they treat others.and celebrate their talents.A leader is always a leader because of his followers...and one who always remembers this

 Humility is one of the most important things that we   can develop.  Being humble makes us  a better person, a better student and a better teammate. 

Being different...

  Everyone on our planet different and special in their own way.

We have unique gifts and talents.  We have a unique personality and style.  We think and feel differently than others do.  our likes and dislikes are not exactly the same as other people.  We have different skin, hair, illness, family, religion and language than others and......we should be grateful for all of these differences.  Things would be pretty boring if everyone was the same.  Our differences make the world a very interesting place....don't' they

our uniqueness is  a gift to the entire universe.... our special qualities can help the world be the most colorful version of itself.

In fact, many people who have made the greatest difference in the world were very, very different themselves.  As Albert Einstein once said, “The person who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The person who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever seen before.”

But sometimes it can be very hard to be ourself.  Many times, others want us  to be just like them. we may not feel like we  fit  with others and it is then......... Some people try to change themselves to be what others want them to be.  Others, take a different approach and try hard to make themselves appear different just to stand out.......and a few BRAVEHEARTS  remain true to themselves and the world....its their 'TRENDS' that the world follows....

But this path is not always easy.....rejection is a very common acquaintance on this path.Dejection .....an unwanted guest  .....If  we can handle rejection stay and our true self..... 

possibilities....endless.

confident people

Confidence is not some bold self-belief directed at others.

Confidence is quiet. Confidence is a natural expression of ability, expertise, and self-regard.

winners all over the world share some common traits,likewise confident people too

 They take a stand not because they think they are always right, but because they are not afraid to be wrong.

If we do not fear the failure, it is evident that we perform freely....... as Gandhiji said"courage is not absence of fear....it is acting in spite of it" 

They listen  more than they speak.

 Truly confident people are quiet and unassuming. They already know what they think; they want to know what others think and they do not want to impose their ideas on others....

They freely ask for help.

 Many people feel asking for help is a sign of weakness; but Confident people are secure enough to admit a weakness. So they often ask others for help, not only because they are secure enough to admit they need help but also because they know that when they seek help they pay the person they ask a huge compliment.

They aren't afraid to look silly..,

 when we are truly confident, we don't mind occasionally being in a situation where we aren't at your best.

And, oddly enough, people tend to respect us more for this

They seek approval only from the people who really matter. 

we might have a great number of virtual friend and followers....but how does all these "friends" weigh in comparison to people to whom we matter and who matter to us.

they know that they cannot impress everybody.....what really matters is getting the work done....great work speaks for itself,it does not need approvals of everybody....
