"Get lost!" a slang expression, is good advice for all of us. If you are making a speech, get lost. That is, don't think of yourself. Lose yourself in your speech. Think of the good your speech will do your listeners. If you want to win friends, get lost. That is, get your self off your mind. Take a genuine interest in your friends.
