4 Dangerous Myths that Will Hurt Your Public Speaking

  

Ever wonder where that saying came from about being our own worst enemy? At least one place you'll find it is in this elegant turn of phrase:

"Very often we are our own worst enemy as we foolishly build stumbling blocks on the path that leads to success and happiness."

                             -- Louis Binstock

If there's a truer sentiment regarding self-consciousness and nervousness about public speaking, I don't know of it. (To bring yourself down to earth and speak with greater focus and presence, download our cheat sheet, "How to Calm Your Nerves Before Speaking.")

Is Drinking Soda Worse Than Smoking?

Soda, which is loaded with sugar primarily in the form of high fructose corn syrup, is a leading contributor to the rising rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic diseases facing Americans.

So when I say that drinking a can of soda is just as bad for you as smoking a cigarette (and maybe even worse), it is not an exaggeration.

Drinking soda is in many ways worse for you than smoking, and it is only because of massive marketing campaigns from the industry that these sugary beverages are deemed acceptable for our most vulnerable members of society – our kids.

In the 21st century, there would indeed be an uproar if tobacco companies attempted to target our kids, but the soda companies do it everyday.

It’s time to wake up and face the facts: the soda industry is out for your children, and the message they send is every bit as damaging (and manipulative) as the one spewed by Big Tobacco.
