AND forced into it I was. It took me 6 months into
my membership before I managed to deliver my
first prepared speech. I had to chug a glass of beer
10 minutes before I delivered that icebreaker
speech. I was hospitalized for overdosing on valium
when I had to deliver my 4 th speech.
Traumatized? Definitely. But not traumatized
enough to quit the program. Speech after speech I
delivered, and at the end of my second year, I
completed my first communication recognition
(CTM). Through the encouragement of other
toastmasters, I even competed and won the district
evaluation speech contest in 4 years time.
It was at that time that the district asked me to give
back. I served as a district officer, and with eyes on
the goal, I served with all I can. Area Governor of
the Year (1998), Division Governor of the Year (1999)
and Toastmaster of the Year (2002) accolades are
great photogenic sunrises in my life and the call
from Jon Greiner caps off a testament on how to
get things done:
To LEAD and SERVE
with Passion and Commitment
There are more sunrises in my life, but these two
moments that I captured gave me the greatest
satisfaction when I reminisce and taught me the
biggest lessons in my life:
Know your goal. Know your mission.
When work overwhelms
and causes sleepless night, it helps to
keep your eyes on the finish line.
Appreciate the beauty of sunrises
in your life.
Use these memory-moments
To fuel your momentum
