卡耐基演講·1.融于自己的題材中

題材選好后，依照計劃加以整理，并跟朋友聊聊，進(jìn)行演習(xí)——這樣的準(zhǔn)備還不能算充分。你還要讓自己相信這個題材是有意義的，還必須有那種曾經(jīng)激勵過歷史上偉人們的態(tài)度——堅信自己。怎樣能讓自己確信這一點(diǎn)呢？詳細(xì)研究題材，抓住其更深層次的意義，告訴自己，你的演講將幫助聽眾，使他們聽過之后，成為更好的人。After you have selected your subject, arranged it according to plan, and rehearsed it by "talking it out" with your friends, your preparation is not ended. You must sell yourself on the importance of your subject. You must have the attitude that has inspired all the truly great personages of history-a belief in your cause. How do you fan the fifes of faith in your message? By exploring all phases of your subject, grasping its deeper meanings, and asking yourself how your talk will help the audience to be better people for having listened to you.
