Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of hesitation in speaking by advising to let the hesitation be and instead pay attention to the person one is with, especially if they are worth listening to. He asserts that speaking or not speaking, hesitation or confidence, are not the most important things; what truly matters is one's attention. When one is fully immersed in listening, their entire energy is focused, leaving no space for hesitation. This results in a smooth flow of words when needed, and otherwise, silence is perfectly fine. The speaker critiques the distorted modern culture for its excessive emphasis on public speaking and confident expression, which has become an ideal even for young children. This culture, he argues, promotes speaking without content or knowledge, where a person's worth is mistakenly determined by their fluency. He describes this as fluency in "spewing gibberish on anybody who is unfortunate enough to listen." This societal pressure is driven by markets that want people to be insincere so their goods will sell, promoting a "stupid kind of expressiveness." Acharya Prashant emphasizes that having something worthwhile to say is of paramount importance, accounting for 95% of the value, while the style of expression—such as accent, vocabulary, and fluency—accounts for only 5%. The quality of one's content, he explains, arises from attentiveness and a certain sincerity towards life. To determine if something is truly good, one must engage with it attentively: examine it, observe it, experiment with it, and know for oneself. He concludes by urging the listener to be impressed by the right things, which can only be discerned through deep, personal attentiveness.
