X'mas Spirit At the last meeting of the year-23rd Dec.,2008

ENTHUSIASM

Norman Vincent Peale once said “Think excitement, talk excitement, act out excitement, and you will become an excited person and be merry always. Life will take on a new zest, with deeper interests and greater meaning. You can talk, think, and act yourself into enthusiasm or dullness and into monotony or into unhappiness. By the same process you can build up inspiration, excitement and a surging depth of joy”.

You can succeed at almost anything for which you have limitless enthusiasm. The world belongs to the enthusiastic. A major difference between people is their level of enthusiasm. Your enthusiasm reflects your reserves, your unexploited resources and perhaps your future. You will never rise to great heights without joy and enthusiasm.

No one keeps up his enthusiasm automatically. Enthusiasm must be nourished with new actions, new aspirations, new efforts and new vision. It’s your own fault if your enthusiasm is gone. You have failed to feed it. What’s enthusiasm? Henry Chester answers, “Enthusiasm is nothing more or less than faith in action” Helen Keller said “Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement.” Nothing can be done without hope or confidence. It isn’t our position, but our disposition the makes us happy.

May I take this opportunity to wish the Christian “Merry Christmas” and to all of you a very Happy New Year.

HO..HO..HO.. EVERYONE were in the christmas spirit and we had a really enjoyable and fantastic christmas meeting. The turn up were good with almost everyone wore red attire as requested by the TME Huey Yee. The meeting started on time by the ASAA, Sanjay who led us in reciting the Toastmasters Promise and for a first timer, Sanjay did his job very well. Well done Sanjay.


The President took over from Sanjay wishing everyone merry christmas and he delivered the above invocation to the delights of everyone present. The President also expressed the gratitude and appreciation on behalf of the club, to KL Loh, ATM-G, and Mechmar Bhd., for their generous donation of RM2000 to the club fund as token of appreciation for us conducting the speech-craft workshop for the management staff of Mechmar.


The TME, Huey Yee, ACB, CL, being an experienced MC led the audience through the meeting with full of fun and laughter in the true meaning of X'mas spirit. Calista Chan and Sook Meng delivered their fifth project speeches, very much enjoyed by the audience. Gean Lau thrilled the audience with her hello, hello phone speech. and to top it all, much to the delights and appreciation of the audience, Cindy Foong did her 10th project speech with an inspiring speech urging everyone to look into the mirror and examine ourselves what have we really contributed anything to life. With the year 2008 coming to an end she urged everyone to change and become a postive minded person and to give commitment with full of conviction and to contribute to the club for us to maintain the standard excellence in the DCP goals of the club. With that speech Cindy Foong was declared the Competent Communicator, the first to achieve it for this term, and she was given a standing ovation. Kudos and congatulations to Cindy Foong, CC. We must give Cindy a special salute because she is a true example of a toastmaster with full of commitment, tenacity, and conviction and the courage to conquer the many hurdles in her life and because of her strong commitment she managed to complete the required CC assigments in FOUR years.

Ordinarily and in most cases, many would have given up and left the club. You are a fantastic and wonderful toastmaster, COMPETENT COMMUNICATOR CINDY FOONG. WELL DONE!


Many thanks goes to Tony Lim from Friendship TMC who was the General Evaluator of the evening. He was in full praise of the club and it's members with our high standard and quality meeting in all aspects of toastmastering. Congratulations to Money-Masteryans. Kudos and Keep it up.
