Public Speaking Nightmares:
It is so important to give a speech in a way that your audience can follow what you are saying. The acronym PPF stands for Past, Present and Future tense.
It's all about sounding organized in what you want to say - But you have to WRITE it first!.
People might ask you about what the future hold, and by using this simple technique, you will be able to give a solid answer. But simply stating an answer can put the listeners in the dark.
The people will not understand how you got to such a conclusion.
This is a great technique to make a solid future projection. It might seem simple, but this technique is so effective when constructing your speech. You should ALWAYS start with the Past.
This will give your speech a good foundation to state facts, statistics and examples of past events. It is a great opportunity to build momentum in your speech by from 15 years ago; 10 years ago and 5 years ago.
The Present tense is anything that is currently happening i.e. seen in the media. Recent times is another meaning for Present. Depending on the time frame you covered on the past (above), the present can even be a year ago if for example the past was 20 years ago.
Future tense is where you can draw your own conclusions with predictions.
End of by saying something like "by looking at the past and present, I think or I predict... ” It can also serve as a great tool to persuade your audience to act now to prevent future disasters.
This technique is great for managers and business leaders that have to give presentation on where the company is heading. It is also great for politicians who have to address the media in a very short time and have to give an impromptu speech.
This gives your speech a solid structure.
The art of public speaking is a skill that can be taught, but remember to Talk Sense, Talk with confidence.

How I Used The Fresh Papaya (PawPaw):
The fruit was to be consumed ‘As is’ because we always have a small plate of fruit everyday around 5 pm.
I planned on adding a teaspoon of seeds into my Yogurt at lunchtime.
The ‘Coleslaw’ I would add to any Salad (even in a sandwich) as it’s summertime in Oz and we are eating a lot of Salads. Don’t know what I am going to do in the Winter though? If you have any ideas please add them as a comment so everyone can benefit.
I had also planned on five serves per day because I thought it would be better to ‘Drip Feed’ it into me, as my wife thinks I am a ‘Drip’ sometimes anyway – so that should fit.

Monday 6th Feb 2012: My Prostate Cancer Diary.
So here is the problem. I have dismissed Surgery completly and that leads me to Radio Therapy as the only available conventional medical alternative.
My Oncologist want me to have Hormone Treatment to:
- a: Slow the Growth of the Cancer cells by (basically) chemically castrating me. Ouch!
- b: Shrink the Prostate down to a smaller target for his magic Death Ray.
I didn’t want to do that with Hormone treatment, but can appreciate why he wants to do that.
So I’m looking into all types of Natural and Alternative medications.
The best I have come up with is PawPaw (Papaya) as there have been quite a few studies with very promising reasults, PLUS it has been… Continue reading Prostate Cancer Diary - My Natural Alternative
Prostate Treatments and Me.
Long time coming since my last post – but I have been kinda busy…. Tests – tests and more tests 
So this is the latest:
My Urologist sent me to the Radio Oncologist because I decided I do NOT want surgery. Apparently I can’t have Brachyatherapy (my original choice) because my Gleason Score is 8 – too high, so External Beam Therapy is the only option, even though they only found cancer cells in ONE of the TEN Biopsies they took.
HOWEVER: (I am discovering LOTS of ‘Howevers’), the Oncologist wants me to have Hormone Treatment first to bring my enlarged prostate down in size.
An ‘Average’ prostate is about 40mm – about the size of a small Plum -… Continue reading My Personal Prostate Cancer Treatment Options
