Speakers Quotes

“If you were born with the ability to change someone’s perspective or emotions, never waste that gift. It is one of the most powerful gifts God can give—the ability to influence.”

“More often than not, an inspirational or motivational speaker is someone who makes money from telling us that we can do all of the things that we can do … and pretty much all of the things that we cannot do.”

“Silence is for fools. Communication is for leaders. Justice is for those brave enough to not stand another moment dealing with people that feel the solution to any problem is through cold indifference because of their lack of courage and insecurities.”

“Leaders inform, inspire and improve people. They educate, empower and enrich the value of their followers. They make impacts.”

“Nothing complements a fast mind better than a slow tongue. And nothing aggravates a slow mind better than a fast tongue.”

“If you keep the distinction between speech and violence clear in your mind, then many more options are available to you. As Marcus Aurelius advised, "Choose not to be harmed- and you won't feel harmed. Don't feel harmed- and you haven't been." The more ways your identity can be threatened by casual daily interactions, the more valuable it will be to cultivate the Stoic (and Buddhist, and CBT) ability to not be emotionally reactive, to not let others control your mind and your cortisol levels... words don't cause stress directly; they can only provoke stress and suffering in a person who has interpreted those words as posing a threat.”

“Effective communication requires the understanding of feelings and emotions associated with the words. This emotional communication is non- verbal and needs common faiths and beliefs. People can see, hear or write the words but not the feelings which come only when the speakers and listeners are connected with the bond of a common faith. Without faith, no effective communication is possible.”

“People often ask if I pay my speakers to speak. No I don’t. If you are able to explain the benefits of the virtual summit to the speaker (which we address in chapter 5) then it will be easy for you to get the caliber of speakers you want.”

“No one should have to pass someone else's ideological purity test to be allowed to speak. University life- along with civic life- dies without the free exchange of ideas. In the face of intimidation, educators must speak up, no shut down. Ours is a position of unique responsibility: We teach people not what to think, but how to think. Realizing and accepting this has made me- an eminently replaceable, untenured, gay, mixed-race woman with PTSD- realize that no matter the precariousness of my situation, I have a responsibility to model the appreciation of difference and care of thought I try to foster in my students. If I, like so many colleagues nationwide, am afraid to say what I think, am I not complicit in the problem? [Lucia Martinez Valdivia]”

“লাইভ টকশোতে দর্শকরা ফোনে সরাসরি বক্তাদের প্রশ্ন করার সুযোগ থাকা উচিত নয় কারণ অনেকে কুরুচিপূর্ণ প্রশ্ন বা অশ্লীল মন্তব্য করেন। অনুষ্ঠান চলাকালীন সময়ে দর্শকদের প্রশ্নগুলো স্টুডিওতে কেউ শুনে রেকর্ড করতে পারেন। ভালো প্রশ্নগুলো রেখে বাজে প্রশ্ন বা মন্তব্যগুলোকে বাদ দিতে পারেন। পরবর্তীতে সময়মত একে একে উপস্থাপক প্রশ্নগুলোকে নির্দিষ্ট বক্তাদের শোনাতে পারেন!”

“There should be no opportunity for the audience to question the speakers directly through the phone during a live talk show because many people ask indecent questions or make vulgar comments. Someone from the studio can record the questions asked by the audience during the program. He can keep the good questions and remove the bad ones. Later on, the presenter can make the specific speakers listen to the questions accordingly!”

“The progress in Iraq is still fragile. And it could still be reversed. Iraq still faces innumerable challenges, and they will be evident during what will likely be a difficult process as the newly elected Council of Representatives selects the next prime minister, president, and speaker of the council.”

“You need to take small steps when you dream big dreams. I am a published author with dyslexia, a professional speaker who was in speech therapy for three years as a child because I had a lisp; and a slow stiff kid from the suburbs who became an All-Pro in the NFL.”
