find some passion

remember to land the plane
up in front
find some passion
be about something
if you can’t feel it, the audience won’t either
find some passion
bring your personality with you to the podium
being yourself connects you with your audience
find some passion
being yourself makes you different from the next guy, and the one after that and the one after that…
