know that when written words become spoken words, they explode like

firecrackers! If books speak volumes, speeches fire up entire lives.

There are three kinds of words: the written, the meditated, and the spoken.

Written words inform and give full spectrum of probabilities about a topic

or event. Meditated words have the potential to bring out explosive ideas.

But when both the written and meditated words are verbalized, the result

is tremendous, to say the least. Spoken words are fired from the barrel of

a gun (the mouth), through a triggering mechanism (our tongue). When used

effectively, words are like bullets that hit targets accurately and leave

an indelible mark.

Speaking is a very unique technique of conveying messages. It involves

body and soul. It can create a visual drama with live emotions and

gestures that put life into the message like no written or meditated

messages can achieve. In speaking, you really become the message rather

than the words you speak. Thus, entire multitudes can go berserk in public

with a moving speech.

It pays to learn how to speak with fire or have a flowery tongue. The

power of the spoken word is insurmountable. Entire nations have been

either united or divided by one dominant leader who spoke winningly of a

cause. Abe Lincoln spoke and persuaded divided Americans to unite, and

this was before modern sound systems and media were used.

Vladimir Lenin, on the other hand, spoke with fire to sway Russian

peasants and workers to bolt away from Czar Rule, and even called on the

Proletariat or working class of other nations to a similar action.

You can also wield this powerful tool of speaking very credibly to an

individual or crowd by just learning and practicing the chief points of

public speaking. You may be amazed that steps to potent public speaking

skills are very simple and easy, yet practicing them is crucial.

Delivering the spoken word with power is a science and an art that

requires diligence.

Power is gained through mastery. Powerful leaders since ancient

civilizations have mastered the ways of the spoken word handed down to

them by their forerunners. And if you desire to attain the power of the

spoken word, you have to persistently practice your skills in public

speaking.
