I know of nothing more effective for this purpose than daily practise in impromptu speaking as described in this book. In hundreds of instances the results of this simple exercise have been little less than wonderful, not only in stimulating mental quickness, but also in developing resourcefulness, concentration, and self-confidence.
The rules for successful impromptu speaking are, tersely, these:
1. Think clearly.
2. Express yourself clearly.
3. Be yourself.
