Yet another post from Seth Godin related to speaking! Maybe I should rename the blog to Seth Godin as applied to Speaking?!
In a recent post, Seth talks about Ignoring Sunk Costs. Go take a minute and read his post.
How does that relate to speaking? Glad you asked 
We are in the throes of contest time at Toastmasters. There are many speakers vying to become the World Champion of Public Speaking. They likely have a number of speeches from previous contests that they could consider using.
When considering which speech to choose, ignore the sunk costs. Don’t consider the amount of time you put into a speech as a reason to use it. Just because a speech has been evaluated more does not mean it is better than a fresh speech that only you have seen. Go with the speech that energizes you. Go with the speech that you can infuse with passion.
