10:30 A.M - PREPARED SPEECH SESSION
TM Umashanker started his speech with a quote "Action speaks louder than words". Many of us may have the same idea but it is only few who works hard and have the intention to pursue it. Gandhiji stood as an example for it. He laso preached a simple living, "Think simple, speak simple, lead high". Five hundred rupees note even if it is crushed, its value does not change. This example is even applicable to human life. He concluded his speech with a quote
" Keep your thoughts positive,because your thoughts become your Words.
Keep your words positive, because your words become your Behaviour.
Keep your behaviour positive, because your behaviour becomes your Habits.
Keep your habits posiyive, beacuse your habits become your Values.
Keep your values positive, because your values become your Destiny"
TM Rajesh started his speech by saying that the year was 2004,
during his summer vacation his family shifted from Trichy to Chennai in search
of opportunities. As a kid he was very excited to move to Chennai. Along with
his dad and grandmother he reached Chennai and his mother had planned to come
to Chennai a week after. One evening while he was watching Mr.Bean, he got a
phone call from a new number saying that his mother was serious. When enquired,
he came to know that his mother fell down from 1st floor in Trichy. Hearing
this , the whole family rushed to the hospital and facing trauma of life or
death. His mother suffered a fracture in left hand and many rode were inside
her hand. She was slowly recovering but after few months, she visited a
hospital in Chennai and the doctor told that the operation has done wrongly. She
went through an operation again and she was advised to take rest for few months
and in that short period of time, she completed two degrees. He concluded
saying that his mother is his role model.
TM Selvan started his speech by questioning
the audience; do you really still have the focus on your goals? When we sign
application for toastmasters, we must have made few commitments like completing
projects, taking up roles and to serve the club as an officer when called to do
so. When he approached Rajesh Natarajan, he told that try giving one speech a
month and complete one project per month and try to attend meetings at least 4 weeks
in a month. Try to communicate with every member in the club and even with the
guests. This is not only helping others but it indirectly helps us. In order to
bring new members to the club, excomm has to do so many adjustments. It is our
own duty to bring guests and inform people about toastmasters’ organization. The
best advertisement for this could be self development. He concluded saying that
“ Best leader is a one who shows that he cares for others”
