Well, Communicative .. ???

Nowadays I am not stage-feared, although I remember a incident of my school days, when while participating in a
inter-school debate competition, I trembled, and out of fear,panic and nervousness, I talked too fast for a person to understand.
What i did, I dont know, but I hear feedbacks,It was a over-sped voice,"Son, you had a good material, but you should
present it also very well, you should speak in stage in audible form.You were faster then too fast... :) "
Many years have passed since then, but still, whenever I am on stage, this incident comes to my mind,
and a firmness comes from within, you have to speak good, no matter what.
At times,the wish to speak well make me over conscious also...............
...........
Ok now back to present scenario, its me again, going over the stage.
Voilla, now I am on the mike, starting words were already prepared.
The salutations, greetings, first line and then the topic name, it came as planned, perfect !!!!!!

And then, the things began..........
When you are over-reactive or hyper-conscious, no matter what you do to protect, the worst happens.
Although it wasnt much bad, I recieved appreciation over my appearance and my presentation of points after the speech,
but still, what happened was ,
I forgot 1 whole point to speak. This 1 point had 5 sub-points, and thus some thing was left behind. :(
I was representating my group, so it pinched me later.

When you are at a leader position, you have to behave well, and consider all.
If anyone in group fails, the group breaks.

I had prepared the points, listed out things, revised them, still while speaking,
when my eyes on stage rolled out, seeing some known faces, I dont know what happened to me,
but the calmness inside me was affected.
The haste and rush, all self-imposed by me to me, caused all this I suppose.
This post is to remind me, never to loose that calmness of me, always be cool buddy....... :)
and of course to share this experience with the readers, dont panic, never !!!!!!!!!!!!
