Empower and Inspire; Speak Out for the People
Most of us have already attended some program or orientation, and even church activities where we heard inspirational talk. Someone who will inspired us through his/her own story; someone that can share knowledge and give us some tips on how to improve ourselves.
I once dream to be a speaker someday, I honestly not good in giving advices, the reason why it's funny for me to aim about it. Maybe I'm just mesmerized how other speakers can talk fluently and capture their listener's heart and mind.

My father was chosen to be the speaker for the event of our church this day. They only inform him yesterday, the reason that he was in hurry to ask what will be the format of creating a speech. I tried to explain him what to do, but since he was not convinced on my explanation then I go for searching some format that he can use as a guide.
I came into the "7 Steps to an Inspiring and Memorable Speech" by Bill Murphy Jr. If you want to read the full details and explanation of the author about the said topic then you can visit the site, atleast this can help you in preparing a speech or some guidelines if you need to.
He stated 7 steps on how to prepare a speech;
Have a point
Think about structure
Connect
Write Poetry not prose
Tell a story
Re-write and practice
Leave them wanting more
To sum up everything, he point out the we must first have the topic to focus and end into something that leads our listeners want to ask for more or satisfaction.
There are two sets of people that I will say that the best speaker in the world, then that is our parents and teachers.
My father once told me "Life is hard when you're poor, people will just ignore you because you don't have something to give. So the two of you(me and my younger brother), you must finish your students and find a good job. Earn not to pull down people, but to help them."
I saw how sincere my father while saying these words. After he told this, I get a pen and write it on the paper, the exact words that he utter, because I know someday this gonna be my one of my inspiration.
For teachers, they are the second parents of every students. I felt sad that they less appreciate the teachers. I even heard a lot of students saying, taking the course of being a teacher is just so easy, without knowing that it's a struggle.
That's why I am so happy while watching some clips about the Presidential debate, where Prof. Clarita Carlos speak about how many look down the teachers. That according to her, she have this "bobo" or daft cousin, someone told her cousin that since this cousin of her is slow learner then he/she must be a teacher. Imagine, having a daft teacher.
These teachers are those who teach and inspire students, they are the everyday inspirational speaker in the class. That's why students like to hear their teachers story in order to gain goodness, but honestly the common reason is that students don't want to have class. (lol)
Lastly, we can be the best speaker of our own thoughts. Push yourself to learn and gain knowledge and wisdom. You don't need any inspirational speaker to listen to, because you yourself will serve as the best speaker of your own selves.
