Toastmaster Scott has stories of Perseverance and he was not the only one! Grammarian Steven introduced a very popular word of the day: STICK-TO_ITIVENESS which was quickly adopted by all members.
Three speakers today on the theme of Perseverance and stick-to-it tiveness( easier said than spelled):
Lara presenting “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” : on overcoming the challenges faced by a new Club President in 2019. Memorable quote” Keep following the yellow bricks below your feet even though you may not know where they lead.”.
Young presenting” When you can’t see a step ahead.” As he faces discouragement and doubt about his field of research, a young man remembers the words of advice and encouragement of his father and colleagues. Notable quote:” Don’t slam on the brakes( when water blurs your vision)”.
Jamie, presenting her icebreaker” My name is Jamie”. A story of tenacity, perseverance and success. Notable quote : ” My name is Jamie”.
I learned that we all have our stories of challenge, perseverance and victory. I am reminded again, that we share a common bond of humanity and that there is more to unite us than divide us.
Our next meeting is May 29th.
What do Mauritius Island, fashion design, Vaclav Havel, Poutine and the Emerald City have in common? Me! All these ways have led me to ( drum roll...) the Seattle Sunrise Toastmasters where friends and great speakers are made! I look forward to sharing my stories with you!
