Honesty, Integrity and Respect for Individual

It was not long ago where I attended the District's Officers Training for all the newly elected Executive Council Members. There, they were talking about the core values of Toastmasters...... amongst them are Honesty, Integrity and Respect for Individual.

Now, I wonder, how many of us really apply and practice them. Is it just me or is it a true fact.. that everyone who appears to be seen working in a team are doing so, so that they can benefit something from it.

It is so sad.. why don't they work for their own success rather than hoping to achieve what they want to achieve at others' cost??? What happened to Honesty? Integrity? For Allah's sake, Self Conscious?

Or is this the signs of the world is coming to an end.... :(

A New Born....

Remember the feeling when you attempted your first ice breaker speech? :) Well, there are some of us who repeat the process... like my other half... hehehehe :) So, I must be specific, your first ice breaker speech......

Of course, in the beginning, you will have all the butterflies flying everywhere, not only in your stomach... all around you. But when you complete that first speech... it comes... the feeling... of flying high up in the clouds, like a tweety bird... or was it like an eagle! Wow!!! The feedback that u receive and the applauds that you get!!! another Wow!!! Will take you right into the stars!! to be the next shooting star!!! At that time, that was the best thing that ever happened to you.

That same feeling! That same joy! That same greatness! is what I feel today. Being a single lady, I never knew how it feels to give birth to a new born. At my age, I don't think that will ever be possible. But now, I feel it.. I really feel it, with the born of a new club... AMD Toastmasters Club.

It is a great feeling.. And now... m going to see AMD Toastmasters Club growing... from its infancy hopefully.. growing to achieve greatness and touch peoples life... not one, not two but many more... :)
