Updates from the Division B Governor

Happy Day Fellow Toastmasters of Division B,

 

Few months ago, I attended a talk by Ms.Hamidah Naziadin, Head of Group Corporate Reaources for CIMB. She was bubly, youthful and energetic although she just started her "5series" age. 

 

One of the attendee posted question on her secret on maintaining that character and ensuring success for the bank, despite few mergers and takeovers in last 2 decade. She told us, "Most of the people has only 1 target in life and once they achieve it, they stop growing or progressing in life. Never satisfy with what you have and keep looking for new challenge and opportunity, your life will be interesting and energetic. My life is journey of various destination"

 

In Toastmasters, we have tendency to say, "I'm done with what I have", "I will do what past past year president/area governor did" & "I have achieved what I wanted".

 

In Toastmasters too, some may set the target to be DTM. But, once you achive it, what's next? If you have become the President of the Club, so what's next?

 

We meet different type of people, various situation at various locations.

 

This means, you need to eliminate being in tunnel vision and staying in your comfort zone. Similar to Kaizen costing, you need to have continous improvement, which mean you should eb ready to face new chalengges in order for you to grow in your life.

 

Thus, rather than putting a "fullstop" in our achievement, let's put a "comma" and keep moving and progressing.

 

Let's sustain the energy as life is journey of various destination.
