It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech．At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned．Fortunately, the moments are usually not obvious to the listeners．Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say．They hear only what the speaker does say．If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no_one_will_be_any_the_wiser．When such moments occur, don’t worry about them．Just continue as if nothing happened．

Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that don’t really matter．If you have ever listen to Martin Luther King’s famous speech - “I Have a dream ”,　 you may notice that he stumbles(结巴)his words twice during the speech．Most likely, however, you don’t remember．Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making．People care a lot about making mistakes in a speech because they regard speechmaking as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication．They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition．But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a period performance．They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly．Sometimes a mistake can actually increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human．

As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being perfect．Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely．

Odiand remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver．The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman．

．Thirty years have passed, but Odiand can' t get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman' s kind reaction．She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odiand,　 “It' s OK．It wasn' t your fault．" When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter．

Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, " I could buy this place and fire you," or "I know the owner and I could have you fired．" Those who say such things have shown more about their character than about their wealth and power．

The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson．He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson' s Unwritten Rules of Management．

"A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person," Swan-son says．" I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables．"
