Living in the Present

It can be good...to an extent.

Enjoying the present is important. Worrying too much about the future can be the cause for unnecessary stress and interferes with enjoying life.

Make decisions that you can fully support, and once they are made, stick to them with all you've got. Uncertainty will just slow you down.

Take time to think about your future to prevent problems later on. Short-term satisfaction may not be worth the long-term costs.

Public Speaking

Find your motivation for public speaking

A big source of motivation for people to become better at public speaking is that some desire of theirs, like a dream job, comes with the duty of speaking to an audience.

Problems you may run into are typically psychological. That's why, while public speaking commonly causes irrational fear and discomfort, it is best to face this fear.

Many of the skills required for public speaking are useful for many other aspects of life. They teach you to keep your cool.

So, take time to develop an interesting speech , practice and make sure to stay focused, positive and upbeat.

Motivation

The Expectancy Theory

In 1964, Victor Vroom came up with the equation Motivation = Perceived Probability of Success x Connection of Success and Reward x Value of Obtaining Goal.

Because of the multiplication, a low value in any of these three fields will equal a much lower product. This shows how each field must be high for high motivation.

This theory explains motivation comes from what you expect to get for your effort. Utilizing this equation and applying it to your life can be beneficial by reminding you of what you are working toward.
