Fellow Toastmasters,
Hello...how is life as a Toastmaster coming along ? Are you not having enough thrill and fun in your journey towards becoming a GREAT Individual ?
At times, we are shrouded by various challenges that require greater endurance from us to survive through and meet our personal expectations. I guess that is how we learn to stretch ourselves towards the optimum ability. I could personally sense those moments which recurs very often than not at my work as well as in Toastmasters.
Recently, when I was at the first ever TLI 2 for the current term in Div B, we received the surprise audience of our very own 1st VP DTM Dr John Lau. During the short moment he had with us, he took us on the historic journey of D51 which created a legacy as the No 1 District in the WORLD for 5 years in running. He threw a friendly challenge to the district if we could bring the GLORY back as the No 1 District. Well, he gave us the prescription as well which is "1+1" = infinity. Though it could just be a simple arithmetic, but the hidden message is for ALL OF US to RECRUIT at LEAST 1 new member while every CLUB in the District gives birth to another NEW CLUB. Though I was stunned for a moment, but figuring out patiently, this is certainly POSSIBLE and ACHIEVABLE . We should all do it for the sole purpose of bringing this Toastmasters Benefits to the reach of another INDIVIDUAL and if its a community, then leading to the birth of a CLUB.
As simple as that....1+1...We can strive to inject our humbleness in the most simplistic manner to reach out to others bearing in mind you are helping him/her to transform into a magical individual potentially to be equipped with the improved communication skills, leadership qualities, presentation style, unimaginable confidence level and etc...benefits are multi-fold and can be evidenced from your self-testimony!
This ONE YEAR term of ours allows us to create meaningful history in others' lives...just by us adhering to the "1+1". I am very inspired and charged up to walk that extra mile in fulfilling the formulae solely in the interest of bringing the 'GREAT' LIGHT to someone else' life. If I CAN DO IT, I'm sure each and everyone of you COULD DO IT!
Let us make the resolution to take this stride forward in bringing greater meaning of self-development to another soul's doorstep!
"1+1" in the most HUMBLE & SIMPLE way forward towards ACHIEVING GREATNESS TOGETHER!
Counting on EACH OTHER....TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE!
RECRUIT AT LEAST AN INDIVIDUAL & EACH CLUB TO HELP CHARTER AT LEAST ANOTHER CLUB!
Countdown starts...
Thanking you in ANTICIPATION!
