Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc. - "These are not your usual speeches. These speeches were written to raise questions. Inspire action. Encourage thought. They're also full of sarcastic one-liners, biting wit, and colorful cuss words. Compiled from various events to which Lourd de Veyra--journalist, writer, singer, and blogger--has been invited to speak, some of these 25 speeches may be read like an uncontrolled stream of consciousness, and some are precisely written pieces with astute observations about life, work, and the world we live in. But all of them will make you want to keep reading."
