It's 1903
and this extraordinary guy named Teddy Roosevelt
is standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon
and at that time people wanted to create hotels and spas
and turn the Grand Canyon in 1903
intoa profit-making disneyland of the environment.
And he stood and said no.
And he created a tipping point for the environmental movement
and for the world.
He said: "leave it as it is.
the ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it."
(Aplauses)
The world would have been a different place today
without those words those tipping point words
from Presidente Theodore Roosevelt.
Fas forward his fifth cousin President Franklin Roosevelt
30 years later - 1933 - in the midst of a huge crises
the great Depression of America, said a few words
to create a tipping point towards healing for the USA.
"First of all. Let me ask certain my firm belief
that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself
nameless unreasoning unjustified terror
which paralyzes needed up to convert it free and what that."
The world would have been a different place
without those words at that time from that man.
So in my 30 years of studying in public speaking
and great speeches
I've found that there are seven secrets
that great speakers do that other people don't.
