I will remember today

I cannot remember which book did I read this from. Something along the lines of "every lecturer will remember with pride the first time he/she delivered a lecture without referring to the notes or the words on the slides at all.

I thought that the rostum created more than a physical distance between me and the students. And I always hated the "ice-cream cone" mike that I had to drag around, made me feel like a dog on a leash. So I ditched the mike, and started to walk in front of the rostrum and started the lecture.

And I didn't refer to the notes at all.

Yes, I will remember today with pride.

I did not use the mike, only the laser pointer, which allowed me to walk around the lecture theatre. I did not read from the slides for once and I was able to provide examples I didn't think about earlier, on the spot - I have no idea how I did that, especially when I slept only 3.5 hours and this was a 9am lecture.

Thank you. God.
