Quote from Adlai Stevenson: "In classical times when Cicero had finished speaking, the people said, ‘How well he spoke,’. But when Demosthenes had finished speaking, they said, ‘Let us march.’”
Question is: how can a person, born with speech impediment, conquer the hearts and minds of people of his age - one word - PASSION!
When Demosthenes talk, he exudes passion in his words, gestures and most especially -his VOICE. Most importantly, I read he practiced shouting at the beach all the while his mouth is filled with peebles!! I don't know how true. But if so, we can learn a thing or two on his burning desire to IMPROVE his handicap.
As a leader, what have we done lately to raise our level of handicaps to excellence?
