prepheckt 0 #1 April 23, 2004 President Bush will be our commencement speaker for the AFA graduation this year. As such we will get to hear him make a speech (that in itself is going to be an interesting) and either we get to shake his hand or salute him, not sure which, so I'll have a chance to say something. What should I say? Edit: I'd like to say something interesting, something other then "thanks" "Glad to serve" etc."Dancing Argentine Tango is like doing calculus with your feet." -9 toes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites wmw999 2,534 #14 April 23, 2004 Sometimes, the mundane is exactly what's called for. If you can put your real feelings into a short sentence, say that -- it's the most powerful statement you can make, and it's honest. Unless you get very lucky, you won't come up with something someone else said that reflect your own honest feelings. So think about your feelings, get them worded well. Then practice it, because you'd hate to get tongue-tied. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.
