As speakers, we should feel an urge to speak on the topic we select. The urge need be no greater than that of wishing to share a humorous anecdote or the experiences of a trip, but some wish to communicate must be present for the communication to be effective. The speaker who has an urge to share an idea and who has confidence in his idea will have little reason to have fear of fear. On the other hand, the speaker who lacks interest in what he is saying is probably correct in assumsing that his audience will lack interest in listening to him.
