Good evening, everyone! I’m so glad to be here with you all tonight. I want to talk to you about a quote that I recently heard: “Curiosity will conquer fear even more than bravery will.”
I think this is an incredibly powerful statement. It’s easy for us to think that bravery is the only thing that can help us conquer our fears. But this quote reminds us that curiosity can be just as powerful.
Let me give you an example. I have a friend who was always afraid of public speaking. Whenever she was asked to give a presentation, her fear would take over and she would feel incredibly anxious.
But then, she decided to take a different approach. Instead of trying to be brave and fight her fear, she chose to be curious. She asked herself questions like: “What do I need to do to become a better public speaker?” and “What can I learn from this experience?”
By taking this curious approach, she was able to gradually overcome her fear. She began to see public speaking as an opportunity to learn and grow, rather than something to be afraid of.
So, this quote reminds us that curiosity can be just as powerful as bravery in conquering our fears. It encourages us to be open to new experiences and to ask questions. It helps us to see the world in a different light.
At the end of the day, we all have fears. But with a little bit of curiosity, we can find the courage to face them and use them as a source of strength.
So, let’s take this quote to heart. Let’s be curious and brave, and let’s use our fears as a source of motivation.
Thank you.

One area of improvement is that you could have used more vocal variety in your speech. This would have helped to keep your audience engaged and to emphasize the points that you were making.
