I may be wrong but it seems to me the only way most speakers know how to inspire people is by telling them how they failed, then came back. How they got sick, then got better.

11. Stay cool in tense situations – When everyone else is flustered, don’t be. It’s hard not to respect the person who stays level headed when everyone else is in a panic.
