Politics is around the corner. I decided to search all my sources for all the wisdom I have learned over the years. If you want to speak to influence and be heard, below are some of the best figurative words to consider adding to your speeches to spice them up. Remember for originality, and to be unique, try first converting them into your local dialect, and then express them in English. You will keep your audience wanting to listen to you for long.

The attack is the best form of defence
If you want to win the war, do not go into defensive mode. Go into attack mode. I come from Hoima. While growing up, we had several stories of night dancers, thieves, and kidnappers.

We meet so many people, but few encourage us to become better. At the time I was teaching ACCA financial reporting paper at Makerere University Business School. I did not know that she was one of the students in my class. Two days later, I went to the MUBS professional courses department. At the time, there was a man called Richard. He had a great smile.
