Crazy - Peter Varholak

Dear toastmaster, my toastmaster friends, honourable guests. I have been thinking quite long time what could I talk about where I could use exageratted body language. And one night light bulb finally flashed above my head. I could talk about being crazy!!!

And I could also act like crazy and everybody would think that it´s normal because I have this speech. Think about that for a moment. How can you distinguish who is crazy? How he behave or what he do? How can you distinguish crazy patient from a doctor in a clinic when both have white dress? Doctor has keys from sanatorium. In my opinion crazy mean not average. But not average can mean be genius or think outside the box. You sometimes have to act like crazy to survive in madness like society. Also Ernest Hemingway said that inteligent man is forced to be drunk to spend time with the fools. Crazy to me also mean that you will challenge your believes or fear and so what you haven´t done yet. Crazy also mean that you challenge society rules or for example general rules in toastmasters. You will look down to the floor, go around, turn to the waitress, scratch your head, stand on one of your feet or another crazy thing like shoot out your tongue during your speech. So in my speech I have broken many rules. And what is the reason? Maybe I am not such perfect human being and speaker. But surely I will not be forgotten. You became also little bit unpredictable and mysterious and people will think why you are doing that. But don´t appologize or explain. It can be applied to every aspect of your life. It´s not for everybody but I strongly reccomend sometimes become crazy. This creates the best memories and also quite extraordinary experience.

To me you all are crazy because you speak in front of audience, but I am aeroplane.
