Speech Script
18
• Be honest. You enjoyed that, didn’t you? Now please do me a favor. Recite the entire title. Go. Not all at once. Do you mean that you can’t remember fifty seven words of that title? Neither can I. But do you know what that proves? Just because you say more doesn’t mean people will remember what you said. [pause] Thank you contest chair. Toastmasters and Chair. Outside the Toastmasters club, I actually do not talk a lot. I’ve always been called the “Quiet Person.”
• In fact, you went back in time to my college and told the other students that one day Aaron Beverly will speak in front of over a thousand people at Toastmasters convention, they will say: “Wow. That’s amazing. Aaron can talk?” [pause] Ever since I was a kid, people have always told me: “Aaron you need to say more. Aaron you need to speak up more. Aaron people won’t remember what you say unless you say more.”
Speech Script
19
•And I remember thinking to myself: is that true? Is it bad to be a quiet person? Are we truly judged by how much we say? Or is it what we say that counts [theme] [pause].
• I remember a former colleague of mine from work. His name is Austin. In year of 2013, early in the morning, me and Austin were standing at the bus-stop, waiting for the bus that takes us to work. Now the bus driver, she was about 35 to 40 years old. Every day her bus would pull up, she would open the bus doors and she would greet every passenger in the nicest way possible. Like this: Head movement.
Speech Script
20
• She was actually the meanest person I have ever met in my life [pause]. Do you know what the passengers called her: “Bus Lady of the Doom.” The only time I ever left you laugh was the day she left someone at the bus station. Just mean and grump for no reason. Have you ever met anyone like this? There we are: me and Austin standing at the bus-stop. Bus pulls up; bus door opens. There she is. [Head movement] What happens next I still cannot believe. Austin hops on the bus, but he stops, he turns [turn his body]. He looks the “Bus Lady of the Doom” in the eye and he says: “How are you today beautiful?”
• Then the Bus Lady of the Doom did the weirdest thing. She did this: [body languge] I'm not gonna laugh. When I saw that, I was a little scared. But with a few words, Austin turns someone mean and grumpy into someone happy. He reminds me times when I was happy, it was a few words. When I was still living with my mom, I walked up to her one day and I said the words that all parents dream about: “ Mom, I am moving out of the house!” My mom said, “Yes!” I am joking. She was way more sad than that. [pause to transition]
Speech Script
21
• Now I have not seen Austin in three years. but he reminded me back then and today [not sure Austin interjection is a good way]. A few words can make people happy; but they can do more. They can bring pain, sorrow, prejudice, and hate. But also peace and love. Pride and inspiration. And within that realm of inspiration, a few words can do something extraordinary. [pause]
• I'm in my Toastmasters club. Tt's time for the best part of the meeting that every Toastmaster loves – table topics. The topic master stood on the stage, he called out: “May I please have the first volunteer?” There was one hand, but that hand was special because it belonged to a young soft-spoken young lady named Michelle. Michelle was from China; and she was attending college in America. Nineteen years old, and speaking in front of an audience terrified her. But there she was standing in the staring stage. Topics master read the question: “What was your greatest moment of your life?” And she froze. [pause] What must have felt like eternity to her. All she could do was to stare at the floor. Ten seconds passed, and she still could not speak. [pause] Twenty seconds passed her lips began to tremble. [pause] Thirty seconds passed. She cried.
Speech Script
22
• I'm sitting in the audience. I'm watching this happen to her. And I am heart broken. [pause] Until she finally spoke. And she shared the greatest moment of her life: “When my mon said she believed in me.”[pause] What can you say to that? Those words were spoken five years ago, and I still remember them. Michelle she may remember her mother's words for the rest of her life, because a few words they can touch a heart. [pause]
• So ladies and gentlemen I believe that it's OK to be a quiet person, to be soft-spoken, to not say that much. Because when it comes to being remembered, I learned and you prove it: just because you say more doesn't mean people will remember what you said.
• So let's make the words we do say COUNT.. You will be surprised how long people will remember a few words. [use silence to end]
