1 Two people can have the same ideas, and the same views and opinions, and yet only one of them might be considered smart.
We often forget that everyone is busy with their own lives; they don"t have time to think about and analyze everything we say.
2 If we don"t sell our ideas, virtually no one will recognize their merit.
So if you want others to know that you"re smart, learn how to present your ideas.
3 Speak clearly, articulate your words, and most importantly, let your enthusiasm about your ideas shine through. 4 Enthusiasm is highly contagious.
Some of the most brilliant scientists spend half, yes, half, their time on presentation. If they find it worthwhile, so should you.
5 Finally, learning to sell your ideas is not only good for your reputation, but it also can help others.
If you have something to say, say it well, so that others can benefit from your message.
