I am really going to let you in on a vital secret—a secret that will make it easier for you to speak in public immediately. Where did I discover this? In some book? No. In some college course in public speaking? No. I never even heard it mentioned there. I had to discover it the hard way— gradually, slowly, painfully. If, back in my college days, someone had given me this password to effective speaking and writing,

For example, I once wrote a book about Lincoln; and while writing it, I threw into the wastebasket at least a year of wasted effort that might have been saved had I known the great secrets that I am going to divulge to you. The same thing happened when I spent two years trying to write a novel. It happened again while writing a book on public speaking—another year of wasted effort thrown into the wastebasket because I didn’t know the secrets of successful writing and speaking.
