Toastmaster @ SCB
Ladies and Gentleman a very good afternoon. Here we go, this was the starting line of all those toastmasters who went in front to give their speech.
The best topic that i was admired and impressed was about
SURRENDER THE GLASS presented by Toastmaster Michelle
A physcology teacher as she enters the class, she took a glass on her hand and holding it. All her fellow students were wondering what would be the topic of the day ...was it getting the glass full or empty.
The lecturer asked the fellow student, is this glass heavy...
the student replied NO, and the lecturer asked again, will this get heavier as i hold it longer. The student replied yeah gradually....
as the arm gets tired and the muscles starts to pain.
The lecturer replied back , exactly ... this is how you would feel when you hold on to your worries. Holding on to worries for few minutes results less pain but as you hold on to your worries for hours,days, months ... only result in depression. You become unhappy, out of control, insomnia and mostly unfocused. Beautifully explained. So why hold on to your worries, let it go.
The biggest strength is not holding on to something but by letting it go. To let go of something needs much more strength.
Surrender is not the best way to live but the only way to live.
.....yet to continue....
Here my say,
Surrender that glass, surrender that worries, life is short make it sweet and exciting, dont hold on to your worries, getting depressed, look at your life at a positive side ... by doing that you are creating great opportunities in your life. Invite the positive energy to flow in your life. Like the say ... Happiness comes to those who smile always.
I had a short slot to present in front on the toastmaster, it was me being a insurance agent .. persuading those nearing the retirement age to buy retirement plan:
This was the first time: i took few minutes to understand the question before presenting in front... i had lack of idea and i was stuttered at first but i try to pull a joke during my speech.. that was i usually do....
Good Evening to everyone,i am an insurance agent, i am standing here to explain to you the need for you to buy the retirement plan. As you become old, you need to have retirement plan for you to able to have money at the old golden age, for you to be able to go vacation maybe or spent the money for what ever you like to buy without need to depending on anyone. It will be a saving plan for you to use at retirement age. This plan is costly as you are nearing retiring age, but why not now.. for you to save some money for your late age... then i go ahh ahhh ahhhh.. because i have run out of idea... and i said okay i am speechless can i go to my sit.... ahahhhahah .
I join this toastmaster so that i able to fix my grammars at the same time i could stop saying ahhh ahhh ahhh.... well done for me on the first day...
Word of the day magnificent :

Cant wait for next week interesting speech.
Todays 23rd MAY 2013, TOASTMASTER AGM.
Topic today was about ... OLD YET ALIVE AND KICKING..
People who age gracefully ,are who we look up to and fascinates us.
Once there was a village where they kill the old people, the villagers feel that the old,wrinkled ones are waste to be to fed for nothing. The villagers decide that the old one should be pushed from cliff and should be buried because they cant cope up with the young ones.
The villagers feel the wrinkled one are waste and are good for nothing.
One instant,there was son who feel pity on his old father,he decide to go against the villagers and hide his father in the room and feed him secretly.
One day there was a heavy thunderstorm, that spoil the crops, the villagers panicked and didnt know what to do ... the boys father advice his son to not to worry... worries doesnt solve anything.. he had saved some crops.. he gave it to his son to plant the crops and show him how to do it..and so the son did..from that day on the villagers then start to respect old people in the village.
Less that we know that our parents who are old at home, are the wise one and experience in life,they give us best advice as their know better than us on everything in life.
I would like to use this time to share another story...
of father and son...one day a father asked his son
Father : dear Son.. what is the black bird that flying
Son : Its a CROW
Father : Dear son .. what is that flying on the sky
Son : sigh.. Its a crow
Father : Dear son .. Wat is the flying
Son: (the son shouted)Its crow crow crow.. why are you torturing me with the same question..
Then the Father felt hurt... and went in to room and brought a diary and gave to his son... The Son read the first page where its was written about him, its about him at young age...
Today my son ..asked me about the bird for 100 times.. so do i answer him happily for 100 times and i am glad of my son's curiosity that my son is learning ...
After the son read first line..he shed tears and and hug his father .....
This whom our parents at home are.. they have endlessly have love us and without tired have taught s.. lets repay our parents with gratitude....
