Managing Trusty of CARE foundation, and a Renowned Author , Mr.

REMEMBER :
 Do
not disclose the name, till the very end.
Introduction should be not
more than 2-3 minutes.
Don't praise falsely, it
is insulting.
Don't praise too much, it
is disgusting.
Don't repeat adjectives,
don't use clichés, it is boring (i.e. He is great this, great that,
One and only. None other than. Etc.)
Intro. is not reading Bio-Data,
it is image building.
After finishing the intro
just say small "THANQ".
