Jane Goodall

We were defined as man, of course, man, the toolmaker. And so when I wrote to my mentor, Louis Leakey, he was just so excited. And so as we're defined as man, the tool maker, he said, we must redefine tool, redefine man, or accept chimpanzees as humans. And that was when the National Geographic stepped in and said, well, Jane's money runs out. We'll continue to support her.

And so then I could relax. And really, I got to know those chimpanzees almost like members of my family.

Well, I've been intimidated, don't worry. The first time I had to give a lecture, I thought I would die. And for the first, I don't know, it seemed forever, I couldn't even breathe, but nobody noticed. And so, basically, because I was so terrified of speaking in public, I practiced, and I made a vow. I will never read a speech, and I won't say, Amen, Err.

And if you listen, you find I'm in the odd arm, but basically I don't. And so my advice to people is, you know, be sure of what you're going to say. And if necessary, practice. Like before every lecture, even if I've given the same one The previous week, I always write down the point. So it's my mind is totally focused.

Well, I don't really know that first time. I did it because I had to do it. Geographic, it was for the National Geographic. It was to 5,000 people in Constitutional. Okay, Jane. Yes. Whoa. And if I didn't, you know, the Geographic were paying for my field research. I had some students by then, and I had to do it. So... You do what you have to do, right? So I knew I had to do it. I practiced.

And I just felt I can't let Leakey down. I can't let the geographic down. So you just grit your teeth. It's a bit like going to the dentist. You don't really look forward to it, but you have to do it. And say to yourself, you know, I'll be really brave and it will be over. Yeah.
