C is for Confidence

Confidence comes from being sure of what you are talking about. Only speak about what you know and care deeply about. It will show in your speech. 

Confidence grows when you have researched your topic well and practised your speech often. Find the time to prepare yourself for your performance. 

Confidence means you believing in yourself. Tell yourself you will succeed. And never forget the words of Marcus Garvey: 

"If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started."
