YOU CAN ACHIEVE THE
IMPOSSIBLE

“The Positive Thinker Sees The
Invisible, Feels The Intangible and
Achieves The Impossible”
Positive thinking is, being
optimistic, which sees the bright side
of life. In my opinion, positive thinking
brings happiness and it also becomes a
strong part of success in your life.
In Toastmasters’, we all learn in many
areas. Prepared Speeches, Impromptu
speaking, Speech evaluation, Leadership,
helping one another and many other
areas. These will be your big step towaards
success. As far as I know, all of these fall
in place, if we have a good mentality and
a positive attitude towards what we do.
It has been one amazing year since I joined the
Serendib Girls Gavel Club. During this time, I have learnt
that you don’t always win in life. But with a positive attitude
you have the opportunity to be successful in life. Failure
always is the first step. But with this amazing quality and
mentality of ‘THINK POSITIVE’ you will overcome all the
obstacles.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my
family, fellow Gavelliers and Toastmasters for supporting
me throughout.
I would want to conclude by saying that Toastmasters
is where leaders are made and it is a great honour to be a
part of this recognized club.
Dream Big, Work Big & Live Big.
Doctor, Engineer, Accountant,
Beautician, Mathematician....
We all have dreams in life... We dream
of changing the world, but fail to change
ourselves. We dream of being doctors, but
dislike biology.... We all dream big but work
little.
Colin Powell once said, “A dream doesn’t
become a reality through magic; it makes
sweat, determination and hard work.”
If we want to achieve our goals, if we want
to fulfill our dreams, then we must always
remember to work hard with determination
and perseverance. Work hard till we sweat
and perspire. Work hard till our dream is
achieved.
And only then, will we be successful in
life, as Swami Vivekananda once said, “Take up one
idea. Make that one idea your life- think of it, dream
of it, and live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles,
nerves, every part of your body be full of that idea,
and just leave every other idea alone. This is the
way to success.”
To become a magistrate, dream for a judge.
To become a supervisor, dream for a manager.
To become a doctor, dream for a PhD.
Achieve higher than your dreams, shoot for a
higher goal and always,
