Is the Toastmasters system of "Pathways" too clever? Too sophisticated?
This speech slightly mocks the  Pathways system. Could there be a more fun Pathway? The speaker talks of an essential ingredient of a good speech - it must be authentic and meaningful  - where one is honest and true to oneself. He talks of a debating contest final - where the winning team made a tiny personal gesture which was decisive in bringing the team to victory. He quotes an Indian Guru who says "A practised Thing is Never True" Are Toastmasters real people or are they just actors? He sums it up in conclusion with his poem "Honestly Speaking"
