Been having fun employing metonymy in my speaking.
Metonymy is the substitution of a group or object’s name with an attribute closely affiliated with it.
For example, “labcoats” instead “scientists”, “crown” instead of “king”, or “White House” instead of “the president”.

The solutions?
1) Process the endings of your words (this will slow down your speaking)
2) Practice limiting yourself to one adjective (this will compel you to be more resilient with word retrieval)
3) Keep you mouth closed until you’ve defined your starting words.
Speak well!

Every beautiful combination of words doesn’t need to be enhanced with Zimmer’s “Time”.
Amplifying the undertones of a speech with music can create an artificial emotion that cheapens the weight of the words and betrays the unique circumstances of the delivery.

More opportunities for success exist today, but I'm convinced that the percentage of those who "make it" remains fixed.
There aren’t rules for success until you describe the pattern of success.
Once everyone is aware of the success pattern, a new rubric for success is needed.
