One of the greatest way to make a great presentation ending is to end with quote.

Quote often attracts audience’s applause. Unfortunately, some quotes fail because they were not easily understandable, etc..

And now I will tell you 8 ways to create a great final quote.

1. Walk Around, Move

I’ve found that, to calm yourself--to empty your mind from thoughts that often make people stressed, you can do meditation. But, to create something, to be creative--to fill your mind with any thoughts (like words that made quote) that you will filter and choose later, you must do the opposite.

You can jog, or just take a walk inside or around your house. By far, this is the best method I’ve ever found to imagine something and to create something new (a.k.a innovations). Just walk, or do jog. Then look at nothing, and let your mind flow. You will then realize that you’re thinking about something, and you will find new ideas again and again. Try this--it’s from my own experience, and I’ve proven this works.

2. Scramble Words

I found this method in a blogging tips site which I can’t remember. Just write some words (related words recommended), scramble them, and see how can you relate those words.

This method works for creating something text-themed. You can try this method to create a title, or poem, and of course quote.

3. Read Some Books

I literally found very best quotes (yes, there were much quotes) inside the book. It can be a novel, or a motivational book, and even research report.

i recommend you to read art--like novel, poem, etc. to inspire yourself so you can write a meaningful final quote. I think those writers and authors were all great quote writers.

4. Combine Your Quote with Story

You could make a decent quote, then combine it with a related short story and it will transforms into great quote.

Why?

Because people like to hear stories--especially those anti-mainstreams one. And people also like to hear what you’ve got from the story, in this case, a quote.

5. Quote from Happiest or Saddest Thing You’ve Experienced

Most prisons have a support group. There are much much support groups for sick people, like cancer, etc.. People like to hear your own happiest and saddest moment.

And also a quote (or moral value) which was taken from your happiest and saddest experience, has bigger impact on audience’s heart.

6. Know What People Can Learn from Your Presentation

To make a great ending quote, you can just simply wrap what people can learn from your audience, add some “spices” like analogy or those beautiful words and cook it into a plate of quote. This one is superbly simple, right?

7. Quote with Everyday Life’s Analogy

There are many things happen in your life--which is mostly similar to another person’s everyday life. You can say that life sometimes goes up and down--just like that bread toaster. Just try to look at anything near you and see what you can do with them.

8. Add Promise or Persuasion

Adding promise and/or persuasion into a quote is risky, but it will makes the quote a lot more stronger. For example, you can say “regret always comes late, so please build your business right now; with required dedication and right plan, I guarantee you a wealthy life”.

Get the point?

Remember that you can combine these ways--that’s ultimately recommended.
