Any public speaking ideas?

Have to give a speech soon based around one of these 'prompts'. No idea what I'm going to be speaking about, but I'm kinda leaning towards prompt #2; it seems pretty interesting.

1. SECURE THE FUTURE
2. THE FABRIC OF LIFE
3. A NARROW ESCAPE
4. THE FINISHING TOUCHES
5. SEEKING APPROVAL


Thoughts? :D

A Narrow Escape....You can talk about your perilous journey through the canyons of North America.

Then laugh at the school and say'  "Hah, the jokes on you!"  A Narrow escape for you, indeed. :)

You can ignore my post if you want, just wanted to post it though   :2funny:
About Philosophy

When I see a youth thus engaged,—the study appears to me to be in character, and becoming a man of liberal education, and him who neglects philosophy I regard as an inferior man, who will never aspire to anything great or noble. But if I see him continuing the study in later life, and not leaving off, I should like to beat him - Callicle

I like the first and the narrow escape, having said that, do the one you can speak most of
Ancient Persian Proverb; " I Wept because i had no Shoes, until i saw a man with no feet!"

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me.
-Martin Niemoller, a german pastor

Hmmm what to do, I'm considering not doing it (though I'd want to challenge myself and improve throughout the year with it) because I have a Methods SAC this Friday, Chem on Monday, Physics EPI due next Friday, and a Specialist SAC next Friday as well.
