The speaker bounded to the stage to the applause of a packed conference room.

“How’s everybody doing?”

“What, you can do better than that, how’s everybody doing?”

“Well, listen, I don’t prepare too much for my speeches because I like to be in the moment. I want it to come from the heart and be real. Can you feel me!”

“Alright, thank you. So I want to talk about 3 major things today. The first one is passion, the second is commitment, and the third one is, dang, what was the third one. Did I say the first two? Passion and conviction. Did I say conviction for number two? Well, I don’t remember what number three was, but I’ll come back to it. I’m just keeping it real out here for you guys. I like to wing it — from my heart.”
