Let us begin to first understand the true meaning of Life/Hope/Love
- Life stops when you stop dreaming.
- Hope ends when you stop believing.
- Love ends when you stop caring.
Keeping all of the above in a true perspective, we shape our lives that will make us successful individuals no mater what career we choose. We develop a very positive mindset where we continue to listen, watch and learn by joining Toastmasters.
It is here we meet people of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds and by listening and getting involved we all improve our own speaking skills in a very challenging world, and at the same time we learn to respect others cultures and speaking skills.
Just as Jim Kokocki, International President said in his article in the June 2016 issue of Toastmasters:
“For club members respect means understanding that each member is a person with his or her own skills and abilities, goals and ambitions, and strengths and weaknesses.”
This is so very true in our vision of joining Toastmasters, where we are all committed to reaching out and sharing our world and cultural backgrounds, and at the same time learning from others.
I personally think that any senior and experienced Toastmaster must make it a mission to make way for the younger generation by leading by example and show our resolve in developing their lives at every meeting. This will only encourage them in signing up with a sound knowledge that our club is committed in their personal development in their personal and professional life.
