Practice helps make Perfect

In case you didn't know I am doing a Speech next week.  So tonight I did a run through, which went well.  I got further than I did yesterday, but when I got to the crucial part my mind went blank.  Oh my goodness!  But it doesn't matter, I still have time to practice and perfect.  That is the crucial thing. If I had left it to the last minute and realised I hadn't got it as well as I thought in my head, it would have made me more nervous and worried about doing the presentation.  Now I know how far I can go and I also know what needs work on and what I need to give particular attention to.
