00:00I feel scared talking in front of crowd. I start shivering, sir, what do I do?
00:06Take the scenario of a presentation, for example, that you make in front of an audience.
00:11Now, if you're well prepared for the presentation, how do you feel?
00:14You, in fact, want the others to speak.
00:16In fact, you would be slightly disappointed if no one questions you.
00:19You'll say, please come, say something.
00:22Because you have done really good, deep, honest work and you're sure of it.
00:28You have done it.
00:28So, you want to engage with them.
00:31On the other hand, if you have just scribbled something overnight and taken the slides there to the audience,
00:38you'll find yourself feeling jittery the moment somebody raises his hand.
00:43Please, please, please, God, please don't let him speak.
00:47Because you know you don't have the answers or you have very superficial answers.
00:53So, it's not about the equation between you and that person.
00:57It's about the equation that you have with yourself.
01:00Why did you not work hard enough on your thoughts, your understanding, your content, right?
01:09So, do your homework.
01:10Do your homework.
01:11That's the answer.
