Confidence in Subject Matter
|
| We must have confidence in our facts as well as in our notes. As speakers, we should be free of worrying about the validity of our statements. If we entertain doubt or feel insecure about confidence is to court fear. If facts are in proper order, they are deserving of confidence. |
| |
| As speakers, we should avoid speaking on topic which calls for greater qualifications than we possess. That does not mean that we should be an authority before we entertain an opinion. It does mean that we should not pose as an authority when merely presenting an opinion. If we are not qualified to speak, we should avoid appearing in public to display our lack of qualifications. |
