THE PRESIDENT'S WORDS OF WISDOM
Now is your time.....there are two distinct times when a person is most likely to quit; after a mistake or a victory.
Ladies & gentlemen, once you are moving you can keep on moving. Does Michael Jordan stop shooting after making his first basket? Did John Grisham quit writing after his first best-seller? Successful people know that each victory buys an admission ticket to a more challenging opportunity. Now is your time....
One of the greatest benefits of success is the opportunity to do more. The more you do, the more you can do. Perhaps it is good thing that you haven't seen all your dreams come true. For when you get all you wish for, you will be miserable. To be forever reaching out, to remain unsatisfied is the key to momentum.
Fellow toastmasters, now is your time...the first step towards going somewhere significant is to decide that you are not going to saty where you are. When you have a victory, comfort and money will come but don't confuse comfort with happiness and money with success.
It's not what you get that makes you successful; rather, it is what you are continuing to do with what you've got that's a better yardstick. The person who is satisfied with what he has done will never become famous for what he will do. So now is your time....I wish you the very best.

Meeting #169 = 10th March, 2009
DWELL IN POSSIBILITY
That's the theme for our first meeting in March. It is appropriately coined by our TME Gean Lau especially under the present Economic Slowdown faced by all Malaysians as a result of Global Economic Downturn. As usual the President, Hj Hashim expounded his words of wisdom in tune with the theme of our meeting.
"To dwell in possibility is good, but to act when you see a possibility is more important. Seize the moment! Opportunities are coming to you everyday... that's the possibility...you must believe in it. Today was once the future from which you expected so much in the past. Live for today. Don't let what you have within your grasp today be lost entirely because only the future intrigued you and the past disheartened you.
Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment. When can you live if not now? All the flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds of today. Ellen Metcalf said, "There are many people who are at the right place at the right time but do not know it" It is OK to take time to plan the possibility, but when the time of action has arrived, stop thinking and go for it.
The most important thing in our lives is what we are doing now. Know the real value of today. I agree with Jonathan Swift when he said, " May you live all the days of your life" The future that you long and dream for begins today. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Write it in your heart that every day is the best day of the year"
The regrets that most people experience in life come from failing to act when having the opportunity. Albert Dunning said, "Great opportunities come to all, but many do not know that they have met them"
So ladies and gentlemen, dwell and act on those possibilities.

HOPE AND CHANGE - The Theme for Club Meeting #168
The President, Hj Hashim Adnan, CC, CL in his opening remark for the meeting held on 24th February, 2009 expounded his words of wisdom as follows:
HOPE AND CHANGE
Most People stop growing in life because they are unwilling to make changes but they have lots of hopes.
All mankind is divided into three classes:
(1) those who are unchangeable,
(2) those who are changeable and
(3) those who cause the change.
You cannot stand still and make changes only through hopes.
You must go forward and be open to those adjustments that improve you.
The most unhappy people are those who fear change.
It has been said many times: You can't make an omelet without breaking an egg.
Accomplishment automatically results in change.
One change makes way for the next, giving us the opportunity to grow and achieve our hopes. You must change to master change. Playing it safe is probably the most unsafe thing in the world.
So open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values. You are custom-built for change. You are not a rock.
AT any point, at any age, any of us, you and me, can change.

The meeting was called to order by TM Sanjay and did a very good job as ASAA for the evening. KH Song as TME for the meeting guided us very well through the agenda which presented five speakers who did their assignment speeches in an excellent manner. The best project speaker went to Calista Chan who need only to deliver two more speeches to complete her BASIC manual to gain her CC award. Congratulations Calista and keep up the good work.
Hj Naburi aptly gave a toast to EK Yeo, whom he knighted as the unsung hero of the club for going the extra miles for the club and making sure that the club keep to the already high standard set.
The club happily welcomed our four guests comprising of Natalie, KC, Ati and Alvin who indicated that they were happy with what they witnessed and declare their wish to join the Club. KC and Ati are both foreign students from Nigeria and Iran respectively.
The evaluation session was led by the General Evaluator DTM Lee Swee Seng from Premier Advanced TMc who gave high praise to the club and our sincere thanks and appreciation to him.

AAADD
People, this is so me, it is so not funny!
Pat
AAADD - KNOW THE SYMPTOMS
Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder. Somehow I feel better, even though I have it!!
Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it manifests itself:
I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.
As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the hall table,
I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
I lay my car keys on the table,
Put the junk mail in the waste bin under the table,
And notice that the bin is full.
So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the rubbish first.
But then I think,
Since I'm going to be near the post box
When I take out the rubbish anyway,
I may as well pay the bills first.
I take my cheque book off the table,
And see that there is only one cheque left.
My extra cheques are in my desk in the study,
So I go to my desk where I find the cup of tea I'd been drinking.
I'm going to look for my cheques,
But first I need to push the tea aside, so that I don't accidentally knock it over.
The tea is getting cold, so I decide to put it in the kitchen to wash up.
As I head toward the kitchen with the tea,
A vase of flowers on the worktop catches my eye -- they need water.
I put the tea on the worktop and
Discover my reading glasses that
I've been searching for all morning.
I decide I'd better put them back on my desk,
But first I'm going to water the flowers.
I set the glasses back down on the worktop,
Fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table.
I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,
I'll be looking for the remote,
But I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table,
So I decide to put it back in the sitting room where it belongs,
But first I'll water the flowers.
I go to pour some water in the flowers, but most of it spills on the floor;
So, I set the remote back on the table,
Get some towels and wipe up the spill.
Then, I head down the hall trying to Remember what I was planning to do.
At the end of the day:
The car isn't washed
The bills aren't paid
There is a cold cup of tea sitting on the worktop
The flowers don't have enough water,
There is still only 1 cheque in my cheque book,
I can't find the remote,
I can't find my glasses,
And I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,
I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all damn day,
And I'm really tired.
I realize this is a serious problem,
And I'll try to get some help for it,
But first I'll check my e-mail....
Do me a favour: Forward this message to anyone you know,
Because I don't remember who the hell I've sent it to.
Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!
