Wow – how great would it be to have a perfect memory?  

You’d never forget anything and once you had learned something you  would be able to recall it anytime that you needed it. I can only speak  for myself, but I certainly don’t have a perfect memory. In fact, I  forget a lot of things all of the time. The one time that I really don’t  want to forget something is when I am in the middle of giving a speech.  However, even that happens sometimes. 

So what are we to do as speakers  when we are giving a speech and all of sudden our mind goes blank?
