Symbol of success

Have you ever spoken to someone and felt like they got the wrong idea about who you are. More often than not we feel misrepresented by our performances. In our roles we all have an idealistic view of the perfect self. While giving a speech to my class I am publicly communicating to my peers that as a student I am able to act as what we as a whole have agreed is an ideal speaker. Based off my ability to emit symbols that are successfully received and decoded by my audience will determine their perception of me. From the first word that I nervously bellowed out to the completion of the second sentence was captivating due only to substance. Initially I was disconnected from my message. As I began u might have notice my head tilted in one direction as oppose to an upright confident position. You might have also notice my hands working together moving repeatedly in an upward circular motion, in effect drawing attention from my posture as it was corrected. Serving as a blender of sorts, emotionless words spurted out of my mouth, precisely ordered raw verbal symbols not because of error in encryption but instead because of the lack of aid. There were no hints/clues such as peaks in volume, facial gestures, or dramatic pauses to ensure that the message would be decoded as desired. However with my hands I managed to distract my audience from my lack of indirect cues and stir these two powerful statements into my performance. As I continued to speak my message became far easier to follow. I decided to give up eye contact to focus on a rhythm I had created by the stirring of my hands. Maintaining a clear diction became my selected front in which to rely on to successfully carry my message. Using my hands I began to reinforce and emphasize upon my errorless delivery of diction. This made the points of my speech clear and much easier to follow for those receiving messages with their eyes as well as their ears. Throughout my speech I continued to use my hands to keep a perfect or as close to perfect as possible perception of myself. Not only did my hands take on the responsibility of rhythm and emphasis, but the positive subliminal suggestion of correct assertive power in my hands became a mask for weaknesses in my speech. This allowed me to control the quality of my output and manage my identity well enough to introduce my thoughts to my classmates, elaborate and reinforce my main points , and make a forceful closing argument that cemented my purpose by answering my thesis question in the final sentence of my speech. Note: speech is living and evolves without cease. I learned that by sacrificing eye contact I was also able to better connect with the purpose of symbols and enhance them with a series of volumes, tones, and pauses. In doing so I had shed a component of public communication to ensure the flow of the message making it an overall positive representation of me as public speaker.
