PUBLIC SPEECH

Public speaking is an art; and like any other art, it has to be learnt, both in practice and theory.  For those to say that they will never deliver a speech until they have learnt to speak, is like saying that they will never go into the water until they have learnt to swim.  One cannot learn to speak or deliver a speech when he comes to age of maturity.  Firstly if it delivered in schooling, it is well and good.  Secondly if one has to deliver a speech in public during his employme

Hello! When I read this writing challenge, automatically the word “philotimo” came in my mind. I didn’t invent it. It is a real Greek word and it is not translated in English. So I translate it exactly as I see it. Philohonor.

Philohonor | noun | / fəˈläˈänər /

Philohonor is a word that exists from the ancient years and only in Greek language. It is noun, and it comes from two Greek words: philos (filos) which means friend and honor. Literally it means “friend of honor” but practically, philohonor

It seems that people have trained their mindset to live alone within their own shells by simply forgetting/ignoring what is really going on in the outer world. A larger number of people across the planet believe that making money is the one and only activity assigned for them in this world, so from morning to midnight, they run fast behind money ignoring other issues in the world. In such a world, everyone is more or less isolated to some extent, and as a result, the risk around every person has

For the first time ever, the 'Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year' is not a word... but an emoji! How weird is that??    And the award goes for one particular emoji: the 'Face with Tears of Joy'!  As you can see, it's very happy for this:

The Oxford Dictionaries' blog says that this emoji was chosen as "the 'word' that best reflected the ethos, mood, and preoccupations of 2015"  (more info here)
I feel that the Oxford Dictionaries guys are being kind of sarcastic here. Looking around us, I can'

I touched the "send" button and the message hovering in the middle of the night....such a memorable evening, which has been run for months.

The nights that always reminds me to her loving eyes, the smile as sweet as cotton candy

the love messages skyrocketed and flashed in the air...sometimes the message brings smiles, sometimes anger, sometimes sweet sometimes slightly bitte

Dear France,

Millions of people were in state of shock and sorrow when they heard the news about the terror attacks in your breath-taking city of lights - Paris.

Have you also noticed a new trend of this hectic era? Why to spend time outside in the nature? People lost their minds and prefer hanging around at the malls on the weekends. You can see the teenagers, families with the kids, or single ladies. I doubt, if there exists a word for this special human kind (maybe shopaholic but I find it a bit different). My word might be rude because it is a mixture of the words Mall and Idiot, however I really despise this habbit, so that's why I spiced it up by m

suddencognition ∣noun∣/sʌdnkɔg’niʃən/

You use this word to describe a case: when you suddenly realize something after you have tried to get it for a long time. For example, you've learned English since you were little, but not until recently did you begin to know how to use English 'tenses' correctly. Another example: when you suddenly realized what life you really need to live. 

Example sentence: It's wonderful to have the feeling of suddencognition. 

The day we (as a human race) start giving the same importance to ANY death in the world... that day we will truly be one race. My thoughts are with the people in France; but also with the people in Lebanon, the people in Syria, the people in Sudan, Nigeria, Iraq... and EVERYWHERE WHERE INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE UNJUSTLY DYING.

43 people died in Beirut the same Friday 13th... and I didn't see the same amount of condolences (not even half) for them.  200 kids were brutally killed in Syria and it was show

Good evening, everyone. 

This is my blog #50. A small anniversary for me and my fingers. So I want to dedicate it to one question - "Why do you need courage"? 

Before we find the best answer on this question let's ask additional questions:

- Do you need courage to survive in a modern society?

- Do you need courage to have arguments about your salary with your boss?

- Do you need courage to wear a mini - skirt?

- Do you need courage to upload your photo
