Memorable Quotes from “Mastering the Art of Public Speaking”

“Seventy-four percent of Americans suffer from glossophobia, the fear of public speaking. In fact, even top professional speakers and accomplished actors experience butterflies before presenting. They never eliminate the butterflies; they just teach them how to fly in formation.”

Translation (Sinhala): “ඇමරිකානුවන්ගේ හැට හතරක් සියයටම මහජන ඉදිරිපිළිවෙලක කතා කිරීමේ භීතියෙන් පෙළෙයි. ඇත්ත වශයෙන්ම, ඉහළ පෙළේ වෘත්තීය කථිකයන් සහ ප්‍රවීණ නළුවන් පවා ඉදිරිපත් කිරීමට පෙර කුමාරි කීටයන්ට මුහුණ දෙති. ඔවුන් කුමාරි කීටයන් ඉවත් නොකරයි; ඔවුන් ඒවා පේළිගතව පියාසර කිරීමට පමණක් ඉගැන්වෙයි.”

Translation (Tamil): “அமெரிக்கர்களில் எழுபத்து நான்கு சதவீதம் பொதுவில் பேசுவதற்கான பயத்தால் பாதிக்கப்படுகின்றனர். உண்மையில், சிறந்த தொழில்முறை பேச்சாளர்கள் மற்றும் திறமையான நடிகர்களும் சமர்ப்பிக்கும் முன் நரம்புத்தன்மையை அனுபவிக்கிறார்கள். அவர்கள் நரம்புத்தன்மையை முற்றிலும் நீக்குவதில்லை; அவர்கள் அதை ஒழுங்காகப் பயன்படுத்த கற்றுக்கொள்கிறார்கள்.”

“Public speaking is a skill anyone can learn and enjoy.”

Translation (Sinhala): “මහජන ඉදිරිපිළිවෙලක කතා කිරීම යනු ඕනෑම කෙනෙකුට ඉගෙන ගෙන රසවිඳිය හැකි කුසලතාවයකි.”

Translation (Tamil): “பொது பேசுதல் என்பது யாரும் கற்றுக்கொள்ளவும் மகிழ்ச்சியடையவும் கூடிய திறமையாகும்.”

“Once the message is clear, he teaches you how to convey it in memorable, creative, and effective ways.”

Translation (Sinhala): “පණිවිඩය පැහැදිලි වූ විට, ඔහු ඔබට එය මතක තබා ගත හැකි, නිර්මාණශීලී සහ කාර්යක්ෂම ආකාරවලින් ප්‍රකාශ කිරීමට ඉගැන්වෙයි.”

Translation (Tamil): “செய்தி தெளிவாக இருந்தால், அதை நினைவில் நிற்கக்கூடிய, சுறுசுறுப்பான மற்றும் பயனுள்ள வழிகளில் எப்படி தெரிவிக்கலாம் என்பதை அவர் கற்றுக்கொடுக்கிறார்.”
