Public Speaking Is Humans History And Future
Public speaking and it’s history is thought to be as old as human existance. Hundreds of years ago or even thousands according to history books there have been public speakers. It is thought that public speaking is a huge part of our development.
Throughout our history people have been passing down information from generation to generation by way of story telling. Public speaking has been passed down throughout history.
You may find it interesting to know that legend has it that the ancient Egyptians even wrote passages on public speaking, you could call it a manual.
Throughout history, whatever country you were in you would have found evidence of public speaking.
One of the forefounders of public speaking as we know it was a man who lived in Athens in the period of 300 BC. His name was Demosthenes. His passion was public speaking yet he was sort of held back by the fact he had a speech impediment.
What makes him even more well known is that he cured his speech impediment by putting pebbles in his mouth while he would recite text. After several weeks of doing this it somehow helped him to sound normal and cure his impediment. He was so passionate about speaking that he wouldn’t let a little problem stand in his way.
Now you may not know this but some experts say that the best way to cure your fear of public speaking is to just get up there and do it. After some time it will become second nature to you and having all those eager ears listening to you will fill you with passion to do it more.
As I’m sure you know the US has also had some wonderful speakers. Namely, Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King. Both are connected to some of the most famous speeches ever. Especially Martin Luthers “I have a dream”.
At any point in time in human history there have been great speakers. Let’s not forget the great Winston Churchill who delivered not one but several famous speeches.
A great speech has the ability to make a person a legend that will be remembered forever. Public speaking is history in the making and something that I hope shall continue for a long time to come.
