0:00I want to share something with you that
0:01might change your life. There was a time
0:04when I'd think 10 times before speaking
0:05to anyone. If I had to say something in
0:08front of a teacher in class, my voice
0:09would shake. Somewhere deep down, I felt
0:12people would laugh at me or just ignore
0:14me. I'm an introvert and this was a huge
0:17struggle. I know a lot of you can relate
0:19to this, but the biggest problem was
0:21that whenever I tried to speak up,
0:23either the words would come out wrong
0:24>> [music]
0:24>> or I'd say something extra that wasn't
0:27necessary. Once I wanted to ask my
0:29teacher something, but I couldn't gather
0:30the courage. Class ended [music] and
0:32that question stayed stuck inside me.
0:34That day I realized if I didn't work on
0:37my communication skills, this problem
0:39would stay with me for life. So, I made
0:41a decision. I was going to improve my
0:43communication skills. I started
0:45collecting knowledge from everywhere,
0:47watched [music] over 400 YouTube videos
0:49and podcasts, took online courses,
0:52worked on one point at a time. But
0:53first, I understood [music] one thing.
0:55Communication doesn't mean talking more.
0:58It means making your words impactful.
1:00I'm going to tell you the same secrets I
1:02discovered during my own struggle. If
1:04your problem is like mine, just give me
1:06eight minutes and you'll feel a real
1:08change within yourself. Point one,
1:10change the speed of your thoughts.
1:13First, I started slowing down how I
1:15spoke because here's the thing.
1:17>> [music]
1:17>> We think slow but speak fast. When you
1:19speak too quickly, your words lose their
1:21impact. I remember one day my teacher
1:24asked me to explain something. I started
1:26speaking fast and nobody understood a
1:28word. The teacher said, "Speak a little
1:30slower. Let everyone follow. You're
1:33rushing so much no one can understand."
1:35That's when it hit me. Speed only
1:37matters in a race, never in
1:38communication. So, I built a habit.
1:41Speak slowly and take pauses. The
1:44benefit of speaking slowly [music] is
1:45that you get to think properly and
1:47whatever you say becomes impactful and
1:50valuable. Example, have you seen Peaky
1:53Blinders, Thomas Shelby? Notice how
1:55carefully he chooses his words
1:57>> [music]
1:57>> and every line lands with impact when he
1:59speaks. That's only possible because he
2:01controls his pace. If you think speaking
2:04slowly is enough, wait. There's one more
2:06thing that can add real weight to your
2:08words. Point two, increase the gap
2:12between your sentences. I remember
2:14another struggle. Whenever I spoke, I'd
2:16throw in fillers like um, ah, hmm in
2:20between [music] and I could feel it was
2:22making what I said weak. You might have
2:24this problem, too. Fillers basically
2:26mean you're taking time to think of your
2:27next sentence and in that gap, you use
2:29words like um, hmm. Yeah, that adds zero
2:34meaning and it makes you look weak. Once
2:36I was having a discussion with a friend
2:38and while explaining a topic, I used so
2:40many fillers that he said, "Are you
2:42thinking or are you talking?" That's
2:45when it hit me. Fillers make your
2:46confidence look weak. [music] That day I
2:48decided instead of fillers, I'd take a
2:51pause. At first, I thought pausing would
2:53feel awkward, but once I started
2:55practicing, my speech became even more
2:57impactful. When you take a gap, what you
3:00say sounds more mature and confident. I
3:02put these two decisions, controlling
3:04speed and avoiding fillers, into
3:06practice and slowly I understood one
3:09more thing. Practice only works when you
3:11know exactly what to practice. Now, I
3:13can speak confidently in front of
3:15anyone. If you follow both of these, a
3:17natural flow will come into your speech
3:20and you'll be able to impress people
3:21with your words. Look, communication
3:24skills don't improve with practice
3:26alone. You first need to understand your
3:28mistakes. Practice for sure, but the
3:30right way. If you've watched this video
3:32till here, it means you genuinely want
3:34to improve your communication skills and
3:36I'm bringing a step-by-step series for
3:38you that'll help you grow part by part.
3:41And finally, I salute your dedication
3:43from the heart. You skipped shorts and
3:45time-wasting videos to watch something
3:47meaningful instead. That hunger for
3:49improvement inside you will one day set
3:51you apart from the crowd. The fact that
3:53you watched this till the end means
3:54you're serious about changing something
3:56within yourself. Very few people invest
3:59their time to learn something truly
4:00meaningful. Your dedication inspires me
4:03a lot. Tell me something. Are you going
4:05through any struggle in your life right
4:06now that you think we could talk about?
4:08Do you feel like your words don't carry
4:10the impact you want them to? Or
4:12>> [music]
4:12>> do you feel people don't take you
4:13seriously? Comment below and share your
4:15experience. [music] I personally read
4:17every comment and maybe your struggle
4:19becomes the topic of my next video. Your
4:22words matter to me as much as your
4:23dreams matter to [music] you. If you
4:25like this video, share it with a friend
4:27who you think these points could bring
4:29some change to. [music] Your one share
4:30might help someone else start their own
4:32journey. Until then, keep practicing.
4:35Bye.
