Before starting the speech, he/she should measure the intellectual capacity of the audience, then open his/her mouth to speak. Because based on the rational rule of the effect of the audience’s understanding levels on the expression of the wise speaker, his/her speeches and writings are influenced by the intellectual level of the audience and it is up to him/her to consider the intellectual capacity of the audience when speaking with others.
