A Lucky President Or A Lazy Generation?, By Okpanachi John

In Greek mythology, luck and destiny are inextricably intertwined. The lucky one is not so because of his or her own dexterity, but only exhibits the fatality of fate. As such, life and living become a theatre where humans perform to the attentive gaze of the gods. In other words, destiny is not negotiated but predestined. Predestination has remained a core characteristic of many faiths. In most instances, however, it is believed that luck only meets the prepared.

Joe Hanson: Set Yourself Apart as a Master of Ceremonies! Get a Mentor

Rome wasn’t built in a day; this also applies to being a good Master of Ceremonies/Compere! Trust me, there is nothing new under the sun. The only difference is how it is being delivered or done.

Get to learn under a mentor and watch him/her perform at various events. This can give you the idea of how to shoot yourself into becoming an MC.

We all know that most of the successful names in the business had to understudy someone or people in order to begin their careers. So, who are your mentors? Well, just in case you do not have one and you really want to begin, below are a few things you can start doing!

Observe
When you attend the next wedding reception or corporate event observe what the host/compere is doing. This can help you build a bank of how, what and whyyou should do certain things. By observation you get to pick different styles or ways another compere handles an occasion. However, a style of delivery might change but the subject will always remain the same.
