Honesty is soooo overrated. 

When we are asked to give a speech, we know  what we need to do in order to deliver a good speech. We need to make  sure that we know who will be in the audience, we have to sit down and  create a speech that will allow us use the importance of public speaking  to connect with our audience, and then we have to get up there and  deliver it in a way that will allow us to clearly communicate what we  are trying to say. How hard could all of that be to do? It turns out that it becomes a lot harder when we are telling ourselves things that just are not true.  

Our lies can have a negative impact on our speech and we really should stop saying things like this to ourselves.
