Hi everyone!

It's been a month or so since anyone posted a quote!

This is one of my favorite conversation threads here at Mayo Connect. I really miss the inspiration... I know that the earlier sunset is making me less inspired.

Sorry that I don't have a contribution today, but does anyone else have a good quote for us?
Take care, everyone!

As a lowly Communication major years ago, one of my university professors gave me some great advice on making a speech. I thought he was going to quote perhaps a great orator. Instead he looked at me and said, “There are three parts to any good speech:
Stand up,
Speak up,
and
Shut up.”
I have never forgotten his words which have served me well.
