Here comes another meeting of Seberang Jaya Toastmasters Club on 20th July 2010!

Theme of the meeting:
Dare to take risks

The new term of Toastmasters comes with the new challenges to the new exco members. Some people refer the challenges as risks, whereas some people define the challenges as opportunities.

What is your definition of the word “challenge”? Feel free to leave us a comment about your thought on the challenges that you had in your life before. We appreciate your opinions and your personal experience!

With the theme “Dare to take risks”, there came 2 questions during the Table Topic session.

Table Topic Master – Ben

Q1. What was the greatest risk in your life? How did you overcome it?

Rajagopal, DTM, shared that…

the greatest risk in his life was to join Toastmasters. Although he has been teaching English for so many years, but he is still learning, and receiving feedback from other people through the presentation of speeches.

It seems that risks are the opportunities for him to keep on learning in his life.

 

Q2. Please share with us on the risky moment that you have encountered.

Our IPP, Jessica, ACS, CL, shared that…
She faced a risky moment when she was back from a concert in KL. She missed the bus, so she stayed in the hotel for one night alone, without companion of her friends.

One of the guests, Livia, shared that…
The risky moment in her life was when she was to choose to go for matriculation course, or go for local university. That was because she was waiting for the response of her application of the government scholarship to study overseas. Now, she has got her scholarship to study in US.

Thanks for the speakers above for sharing their personal experience during the Table Topic session.
