Speaking is an Art?

Till now, I do not really understand the above statement. I only can see the effect. When same content comes out in different ways from different persons, the effect to the audiences would be different. So, what is bout Speaking?

I am certainly not qualified to give an insightful answer to the question. I could only tell what I know while hopefully you can feedback upon my opinions.

> Clear and Fluent

When we are speaking, we must structure and present our points well. People are lazy and don’t like to think much while listening. Also, speak fluently. Too much pause will drift the most patient listener away.

> Humour

The most efficient way to attract audiences is by creating laughter. A sincere laugh livens up the atmosphere and makes the chatting more interesting. Humour is an important spice that adds taste to a chat. Without it, a chat is no more than a typical lecture in NTU.

and others…

So, what is the art about speaking? …..

Sports & Interaction between People

Sports is inter-action between people. Sports must involve people and people are an important element in sports. Fun people will make the sports more interesting and livelier. One of the factors that makes football the most welcoming sports through out the globe is the number of men involved in the game. People enjoy watching individual talents, people applause for good passes, people LOVE great team. The WOW factor always arises when the team plays like an individual, when the interaction between players is so subtle that it seems like no interaction has been made.

A good sportsman is always a person who can connect well with others, though some of them do not prefer verbal communication. With the love towards the sports, he shares the passion towards people as well. A sportsman never fails to be a good friend. He may not be the most popular person amongst his friends, yet he is can be a life-long friend.

I may have given too high credits to sports-person. Yet, this is the observation and feeling that captured me through my new attempts to play sports.
