“A good speech should be like a woman's skirt; long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest.”
— Winston Churchill
Simplified Meaning:
When giving a speech, it should provide enough information to address the main points, like a skirt that is long enough to cover the essentials. But, it also needs to be short and engaging to keep people interested, like a skirt that is short enough to catch attention. Imagine you're in school and your teacher needs to explain a new topic. If they talk for too long, you might get bored and stop paying attention. But if they explain only the key details clearly and quickly, you'll understand better and stay interested. For example, think of a friend telling you about their vacation. If they talk for hours non-stop, you might stop listening. But if they share the highlights and interesting parts in a lively way, you'll enjoy hearing about it. Following this advice can help make your speeches and talks more effective and enjoyable for everyone.
