Death is Number Two
Jerry Seinfeld once said this:
A recent survey found that most people think that public speaking is the scariest thing in the world.
Death is number two.
Death! Is number two!!
That means that if you're at a funeral, you'd rather be in the coffin than giving the eulogy.
It's fair to say that many people don't like speaking in public. That, however, is not an option for this class. Public Speaking is essential to being a well-rounded, successful person.
