How to Spot a Liar
1.The Bad Liar The easiest liar to spot is the bad liar. You might even think this is a joke but it's not. I assure you there is people who lie here and there and those are the bad liars. They tend to fidget around a personal question. Or if they are being interrogated and attacked. But how do you know if they are uncomfortable? Well for starters, their body language. If they are sitting in a chair and if they are leaning in to give you answers, most likely they are telling the truth. A bad liar can get away with " I went to the gym and sweat like a pig". In reality they binge-watched movies all day in their room and probably only got up just to pee or to answer the door because they ordered food. A bad liar usually will feel insecure about their truth and wish they had a better life, but the good thing about bad liars is that the truth will always come out either by them or by another person. Bad liars will ask for forgiveness and they are good at it, but this time they're not lying about it. Bad liars will know their wrongs and will feel bad about it. They are harmless.

How Does Anyone Excel at Public Speaking?
In short; yes. Some people love public speaking. Lucky them huh? Some people are blessed with a natural confidence and love being the centre of attention when speaking to a crowd, some people are in such a senior position that there is no reason for them to fear speaking to colleagues or crowds, some are even just so excited and passionate about their subject matter that any nerves melt away. But for people like me giving a presentation or speech is a living nightmare. I stand up; hands shaking, words fumbling, face blushing and back sweating. I forget everything I had planned to say, my stomach drops, my heart pounds and I rush through my content missing out key bits of information just to get the damned thing over as quickly as possible.
