00:00Namaste Acharya. I was actually reading this chapter and this part stuck me the most which says the message is
00:06simple. If you speak fluently, you're worth listening to. And if you can confidently spout gibberish, you're celebrated. This is
00:14what we now revolve.
00:15So my question is, you know, how should I differentiate whether am I speaking fluently out of depth or am
00:26I just being confidently depressed? Because there are a lot of times that I'm just speaking a lot of words.
00:31The attention has to be on the center the words are coming from. The problem is when the attention is
00:40on fluency and confidence. You can go on and on and on and speak for hours with the greatest fluency
00:51possible and then it is nobody's point that fluency is bad or evil or shallow.
01:00No, no, no, no. One has to look at the center. From that center, if one stammers from the right
01:09center, even if you hesitate and struggle and stammer, it is still fine. From the right center, if you just
01:17take baby steps and struggle, even that is fine.
01:22But from the wrong center, even if you take giant leaps, that is still going to be toxic. My emphasis
01:30is on substance, the core, the center. That's what I care for.
01:35And from there, the expression can take any form and I'll be okay with it. On the other hand, the
01:42way it usually happens is nobody cares for the center and all we are concerned about is how polished is
01:52the exterior, right?
01:53And how imposing is the personality, how impressive are the words, how refined is the accent, how dominating is the
02:03presence. That's what we mostly care about. And that's the problem.
02:09Thank you so much, Aja Redmi.
02:11Welcome.
