You know the situation: In any event, like a presentation of a project in college, many students (those who are doing the presentation) take notes with them.
On the notes there may be an index for the person not to forget something while speaking with his audience.
Some go beyond that and take a sheet containing all the presentation written in full.
So, to do their job, the person looks on the paper all the time.
There comes a time when the desperation grows and he begins to give up and simply read the paper.
Of course the end result is a shame and his note will not be very good.
So, using a "cheat-sheet" is really a good idea? The answer is: it depends.
As you may have noticed I used two examples.
In the first case, one uses a small piece of paper in case you forget the order of content to be displayed.
Will something happens with the slides or the computer.
With this role, he will quickly remember the topics to be discussed if anything happens.
In the second case the situation changes.
The person is afraid, she does not know how to speak in public and worse, did not prepared anything for the presentation.
This fear is often derived from ignorance.
We fear what we do not know, if we do not train our words and we do not know what to say, obviously we will be scared.
Just to start reading all the work or the slides is not the solution.
The only solution is to train before.
You should rehearse in the mirror or in your mind until you feel calm.
After a few hours, try again.
You will get used to not forget anything important in the presentation.
And of course, in the last minute, the words should flow with ease.
You do not need to look in the paper because you know what is written there.
Where there is knowledge there is no fear.
So if you want to take a piece of paper containing an index of your topics, you can take it.
But leave it in your pocket and use it only if absolutely necessary.
Otherwise, avoid the "cheat-sheets".
Especially the ones that contain all of your work in full, unless you want to look like you're just reading a paper instead of presenting it.
Therefore, learn how to speak in public and avoid reading in public, because standing in front of many people reading a paper is ridiculous.
