The associated public speaking fears, such as forgetting the lines, speaking with a faulty autocue occasionally happen and would make my palm sweaty but hey...reading someone else's speech - I wouldn't know how to react!
That happened with India’s External Affairs Minister SM Krishna when he was delivering a speech at the United Nations (UN) last week. He read the Portuguese foreign minister’s speech for as long as 3 minutes before his officials made him realise his error. We don’t quite know how the embarrassing mix-up happened, but it sure looked tricky for the bureaucrats.
Hey you speech writers out there, delete the diplomatic courtier nonsense from now on! Won't go wrong if you have nothing but a powerful beginning with originality to offer your speakers with. That should keep your job secure!
