This was Obama's visit last week to MIT.

I had the privilege to speak twice to the president's climate task force.

And I didn't give the talk always. You did, and we had to watch you, and so forth.

Guests have included such personalities as the Secretaries General and President Nelson Mandela.

Guests have included such personalities as Secretaries General and President Nelson Mandela.

I had started out with a thousand TEDTalks and I had 600 six word summaries for those.

Being on the same stage as Al Gore, who was the first person I ever voted for.

Anyhow, I'll end that there, and thank you very much.

Because if you do the math, you have a thousand TEDTalks, the pay 10 cents each you have to do more than one summary for each of those talks, because some of them will probably be, or are, really bad.

And ever since then, I've gotten to do some pretty cool stuff from getting to meet the president to getting to be on this stage to talk to all of you guys.

For example, Dan Pink's talk on motivation, which was pretty good if you haven't seen it Drop carrot. Drop stick. Bring meaning.

So what if I don't let people summarize individual TEDTalks to six words, but give them 10 TEDTalks at the same time and say, Please do a six word summary for that one.

Deong will speak. Now let Deong speak.

My speech. Where's my speech?

Presentations and lectures

Can I make a speech now? Please.

So I'd like to conclude with a physical metaphor.

So let's run through the things you've got to include in your presentation.

The following is a summary of the President's speech.

SPEECHES

Speech

Speech?

In his address to the United States Congress yesterday, Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh stated that

The President spoke to the nation on TV.

Or some even included references to the speakers, such as Nathan Myhrvold's speaking style, or the one of Tim Ferriss, which might be considered a bit strenuous at times.

Overall, since the President spoke at the General Assembly, we have made significant progress on the four objectives that do not involve the Conference on Disarmament, namely the first four.

1. Address by the President of the Republic of Mozambique

I quote President Clinton when he spoke from this very rostrum

The speaker didn't know his subject, nor did he speak well in short, he was disappointing.

(ii) Exhibits, guided tours, lectures

Let me come back to the beginning, to end this presentation.

National assignments

The speech?

Here's the speech.

End of speech.

What speech?

President Bashir spoke of a new era.

Even then, unfortunately, it's not possible to summarize each TEDTalk individually.

So let's look at the most successful technology executive in the business and see how a presentation goes.

Mr. Pascal Lamy, Director General of the World Trade Organization, made a keynote address.

Number three the handouts you give are not your presentation.

This is actually the most terrifying thing that any speaker can do after they've been to an event.
