Am I better off just winging it? This is a common question. asked by really lazy people, if you're incredibly lazy person, it's great to have this motivated reasoning to say, Wow, I'm really a good person for being lazy. It's a good thing that I'm lazy. Because now I'll give a get a better speech because I didn't rehearse. No, that's just you being lazy.

You're not going to be better by just winging it. Maybe you get through it. Maybe no one laughs at you. Maybe you don't lose your job, but it's not going to be better to wing it. When you're giving a speech. It's better to prepare, practice on video until you're great.

Think about the people who like to wing it. They say they're fine. I always ask them Well, how do you know you're fine? Oh, people said it was fine. Really. Maybe they just wanted a job.

Maybe they felt sorry for you. You Don't know how you did just because someone told you you did a fine job with your presentation. You know if they can throw back in your face, the message is you care about the stories you care about. So no, don't wing it.
