And Then Some News

And Then Some NewsThere is some great news this week from PublicSpeakingRules.com
We have another speech in our series, and this one offers advice on how to write a great speech. "Before starting to write a speech, you must understand what you want to say, who you want to say it to, and why anyone might want to hear it. One of the best ways to do this, is to ask yourself the six questions: Who? What? How? When? Where? and Why?" This is a quotation taken directly from the introduction to the new video.

Thursday's And Then Some Essay preview
Rage, rage against the dying of the light
by Richard L. Weaver II

Excerpt:

My life is focused on avoiding dying before my time by minimizing risks. Perhaps I don’t possess the angry defiance of reality that Thomas’s poem represents, but when you contrast the rage with the phrase “Do Not Go Gentle,” then it better represents my view that death is a disvalue to be avoided up to the last breath. It is, indeed, an end I struggle against — without giving it an actual voice or existence — all my life.
