You can’t succeed if no one understands you.
Speak clearly. Tailor your message to your audience. Analyze your audience and set your speech accordingly. If necessary check further to make sure that the listener has got your message perfectly.

challenge as a lesson. If you take your mandatory walking as an exercise it will make you happy rather than tired.
