I present a terrible speech today, can't blame that due to the short notice as I can turn it down easily, but too confidence on delivering any subject for all kind of audience; today, I do learn a precious lesson, never overconfidence on anything you don't familiar with, and never accept any public appearance without proper preparation. to remember this personal disaster, I wrote my principal guidance when taking public speech :

1. Never accept any speech invitation 2 weeks before the schedule.
2. Be preparing for the subject you familiar.
3. Power point is only the tool, you need to digest enough information before deliver any speech.
4. Structure before drafting, prepare a compelling story with road map, logic and layer.
5. Know your listener and understand their expectation before speech.
6. Meter and practice before public speech.

Don't forget the day of humiliation.
