Talking and Writing are tools for expression. Not tools for impression. If you use it to impress the only thing you'll accomplish is expressing your want to impress. That's all people will hear and read because that's the only real genuine feelings you have available to share. You cant think of something good to say, you only can have something good to say. Usually whats good to say is somethings that's deep with meaning and true. And those things are really only learned in life. So if you run out of essay topics/subjects to breakdown and share then stop writing and continue searching for significant depth by living life. The more you live the more you have to think about, the more u think the more you come to understanding and your own conclusions (Which are opinions but more like hypothetical thesis's) which is what people like to hear. Eloquence doesn't impress. Wisdom, stories of great experiences, great risks taken with surprising outcome, hard to believe accomplishments done with unthought-of strategies, observation of grand dilemmas that go unnoticed like silent water leaks. Anything with surprise, new perspectives, unexpected endings or results, settling common doubts or judgements. These things impress.
