Oddly, I never feared public speaking but learned to hate it ... because I was pushed into it really young for church and school. I was supposedly that "good" at it. Hate it so much now, I don't ever appear on film anymore either. But shhh, don't tell my fans (what few I have) that's why I only use CGI for "me" .... I want to hold a contest to see what rumors will start about it if I ever become as popular as you are.
Another thing that drives me NUTS is listening to someone um during their speaking. If someone's just awful and umming constantly, I give up on listening to their message and start counting their ums! ... Tragic.
BTW, I totally attribute speaking in church (since primary! ;D) to my confidence in public speaking. What great opportunities come from our religion! :D
I'm good at talking in public but i can remember well and don't care what people think....phuemonomicroscopicsilicovolcnoconiosis... i said that in front of a ground on my first day of high school SUCK IT UP!
@lordnimr0d Living for longer than a human lifespan would get boring. It's fun trying to do everything you want to in a short time. If you lived forever, you'd probably never feel accomplished because you had unlimited time to do it.
I don't get why people are scared of dying. It's going to happen. Get over it. Even if you somehow become immortal, the sun is still going to explode. And then you're fucked. So just accept your death. Know it's going to happen. It's going to happen soon.
That's kinda funny... I've seen this video before, the part where you said "this is the part you're going to remember." Was how I knew I'd seen it before... huh...
@IvanKesja one could state that every kind of education is a waste of time if the subject does not interest the person who receives the lessons. I am as an example intrigued by german cypher techniques during WWII but just try to find a teacher who's willing to give a lesson about said subject, I think that children should be allowed more freedom to study a subject they find interesting as long as it's usefull in their later lives. whether it be things like sport,maths, or even nucleair physics
17. My Rotary club is going to start teaching me public speaking skills soon. Next year I'll have to be presenting reports every month... In my second language. It's gonna be hard...
i love public speaking... (ya i'm a theater person) public speaking gave me A's at school because i was so good, and once you are comfortable you can improve half the stuff and people will still believe you, because you look like you know what you are talking about
first time i saw one of these vids i was 12, now i'm fifteen and i still like re-watching some of my favorite episodes. This shit is more educational than 90% of the stuff i learn in school. Everyone here has to admit that if schools gave these kind of subject and have this kind of teachers there would be a fuckton more scientists(and/or evil geniuses)
First time I did public speaking was as a freshman in high school. I was so nervous I had to stare at the paper I was reading and not look at anyone the entire time. I think I was even a bit shaky.
i hate it cause it's true.... i watched this like months and months ago i still remember "this is the part you are gonna remember" =O it's soo terribly true that i am annoyed by it
My problem with public speaking is that i will turn any subject into a rant against the government and the road our society is heading down. Might start off talking about parking meters, then end up ranting about living in a society where Lady gaga and justin beaver are considered artists of the year.
16. I feel like the fast paced style of these videos makes them more interesting than most videos. As for the content, most of it is fairly general knowledge. But even if I know most of it, seeing it in a new perspective is very entertaining.
I used to be GREAT with public speaking, but back then I actually had an audience that cared. Now, nobody pays attention and I get really nervous before presentations and speeches and such.
I love how you randomly ask for our age and every body is answering. Funny. BTW 31 here! Just recently found your vids and they are awesome. They really helped these last few days to relax me while I took breaks from studying for finals week. Thanks guys and keep up the good work.
I'm 17 and my brother and I have been watching these videos for...a while...I don't keep track of time that well. But yeah...these are AWESOME...and addictive...and this message has nothing to do with public speaking...unless you count public typing.
