Public Speaking #2 – Words are Drugs

I am a sucker for great speeches.  Political speeches, award acceptance speeches, intellectual idea speeches, even sermons.  I can get inspired, choked up, motivated, curious, angry, happy and more.  All because of a bunch of words strung together.  It’s hard not to be persuaded by words sometimes, even when you know you are being manipulated, as in commercials.

What types of words, speeches, writings, etc. do you get influenced by easily? Is there one particular person or group? One particular style of speaking that addicts you?
