When you're giving a ceremonial speech, and you're a little bit nervous, the tendency can be to rush to speak too quickly because you figure, hey, I want to get through this or if I'm reading, you're going to read quickly. If you're nervous, you can lose perspective of your speed. But if you're rushing, you're gonna look scared, you're going to look nervous, you're going to look uncomfortable. And people are going to stop focusing on the ceremony of the moment. And instead, start focusing on you. And as you've heard me say, the focus shouldn't be on you, whether you're comfortable, uncomfortable, nervous, any of that.

The focus should be on the ceremonial aspects of what's going on today. That's why it's critically important. You don't rush so you'll be monitoring for that closely in a moment when we start doing our practice videos of your speech.
