Talk about how important it is to prepare for something. Give examples and end by stressing the importance of preparation.

If you must give a speech about this topic, why not fail?

If you do not prepare for this topic, you will certainly demonstrate the principle by failing. Right?

Now just figure out a way to demonstrate that point while getting a good grade at the same time.

I am a teacher. If you were my student and could productively fail in order to demonstrate the topic, I would reward you with a good grade.
You might approach it as being obviously unprepared. You could fumble while looking for index cards containing notes. You could repeatedly clear your throat or cough in a manner indicating an obvious stall. You could make excuses of how you were going to research things but were busy with other tasks. You could shuffle your feet or straighten your clothing nervously. Look at your watch a lot. Search your pockets or purse for notes while you mumble incoherently. Drop pencils and pens. Bend down nervously to retrieve them.

It sounds a little crazy, but it just might work if your words and actions are obvious to your teacher. You must over-act. You must get laughs.

Failure to prepare is preparing to fail.

Think about it.


Good Luck

This is about "counting the cost." How many times have you committed to do something and just about halfway through, it becomes so difficult, you have to quit? Preparation to complete any task is actually 2/3 of the work involved. Preparation requires you to complete the task in your mind or on paper counting all the variable and possible scenarios. In this way, you prepare for the expected AND the unexpected.

WE as a society are guilty of plunging into things without "counting the entire cost." Marriages are broken with children left parentless because they did not prepare for the worse days of their life.

If you fail to prepare for every situation, you will fail at the task as soon as a variable changes. If you get out in your car for a trip approx. 275 miles away and you do not prepare for both the known (gas requirements, money requirements, place to stay, things to do, time required off work) and the unknown (flat tire, tow required, bad weather, traffic jams, quick evacuations due to weather, illness while gone) you may fail at your goal.

Do not worry. I am here to help. Let me explain you what that means. It says that when we have to prepare something and we fail this means that this is the beginning or our preparation (as it says) to be loosers (to fail). In other words when we miss something we make a beginning to lose everything. I hope you understood. Now, I think that you could start by reffering examples from our life. e.g A student failed to do his homework and so he went on until he was out of school. This could be a good preface. You could also end by giving a good advice to the audience such as: So it is better to gain the preparation we want so as to be the winners of our life. Did you get an idea? I hope I helped... Bye!

Those answers you've received are really helpful. Nice explanations. You might use some examples in your speech to sound more persuasive. As for the very speech, if you can afford it, order it from some respective source. I mean, someone like http://www.besttermpaper.com . If this speech is of really great importance to you and you want to have it top-quality. Actually, you could prepare something brilliant by yourself as well. Go ahead!

Start with the boyscout motto. Go into everyday situations. For instance, going to the doctor's office. Do not count on a doctor to have anything to occupy you time. If you are nervous about your visit and you have nothing to occupy your time. The time will stretch for an eternity, and your blood pressure will elevate. Bring a bottle of water, because sick people have used the water fountain. You may be sick, but you want to avoid anything else. Also, bring an ipod or cd player, so that you cannot hear the crying children and coughing adults. Bring a psp, book, magazine, or homework to keep you occupied. Slip some crackers in your bag or pocket with some germ-x in case you have to wait very long. If you have to go with a child, for your sanity, carry them something to do. It will be very helpful. Also, you can carry them to the exam room because we all know the waiting room is just the beginning.

It's a contrary statement and therefore makes no real sense.

If not preparing is actually preparing to fail, then you are in deed preparing for something, even if it is failing.

I hate when people come up with these little "Nit-whitticisms" and think they are so clever.

The other answers are great. How about sports, if you don't practice, you' never master the game. Or maybe an emergency like earthquakes or tornados, if you're not prepared, you may fail to survive.

EXAMPLE:

If you are not prepared for class, no bag and no books whatsoever, you are likely to recieve and 'F'.

Therefore, it's better to be prepared than just to sit around and expect that you're
just going to fail when in reality you are not even trying.

tell a story about something on the topic... you can make it up, but it'd be easier to research something.
