Highlights (What you get from toastmaster)

CK reminded us although we unable to change the weather, we are the only one able to change our mood. We should take control of ourselves emotionally. Optimistic definitely is an attitude and anyone can be optimistic.

Additional, CK also brought us into practice by setting difficult scenario, encourage our table topics speakers to react optimistically. Action worths thousands words. Let’s see who and how…

1. Maggie: If she lost her mobile phone, she will expect her boyfriend buy a new one for her, and that would be a test of relationship – true love?

2.  Kyle had to face a broken leg. But he had the experiences of breaking his leg. Meantime, his roommate also broke the same leg. But they got under good care of girl. That definitely not a bad experience.

3.Qingzhao, If her subordinate want to resign, she would think it’s a good opportunity for the subordinate to have a good future.

4. Jessie thought if she was trapped in the lift. A romantic story started.

5. Jade. If she can’t fall asleep, she will do other things.

6. Issa: She thought the benefits of being a singleton is to wear new clothes rather than second-hand clothes like the younger ones.

7. When Fancy was asked what should she do if  out of electricity. she replied without doubt “it’s time to call family. Hi Mum…”

Today we have an English Humorous Speech Contest by Contest master Monica.  Our contestants shared their personal interesting stories about their parents, family and adventures abroad. That definitely gave us a chance to know them more as a friend but also remind us how to appreciation around us. The contest is warm and lesson learning. Let’s see our bravo contestants:

1. Sissi questioned about do we usually think more choices, more happiness we can enjoy. But her experience from choosing the right dish, finding a new way of diagnosis and ….She told us “Make yourself focus on the things you really care about”

2. Sabrina: Just do it. People usually find there is no time to do the things we want. That’s because they usually wait for the better opportunity. But in this process lots of chances will be lost. So just do it.

3. Andy: Told a story about his normal but greatest mum. Why his mother gave him the name “繁” before his birth, why his mother felt nervous when he contacted with girls. But all his mother did is great.

4. Nancy: Told a very interesting story about her name. She has a man’s name “王强” and her nick name is “小强”, but she benefits alot from her name.

5. Lily. “My cheap father”. Lily introduced her eco-friendly dad on how he did to his life and on her differently. That gave us a chance to know how our parents so love us.

6. Jane: “Be happy easy”, When she was young, she usually dream of romantic and surprises. That made her so disappointed compared with real life. Slowly, she learnt for the ordinary people, being happy can be very easy if we away from novels.

7. Chris shared his Italy experience on how to overcome and enjoy the adventures abroad. His helpful tips definitely eliminate our fears with someone speaks different language. What are they? Talk to Chris!!

8. Vivian shared her fighting fat experience -“My fat journey”. Her obedience and being good daughter led to a burden. Her journey was not easy and fluctuate in quality and emotionally. Her persistence, goal orientated and optimistic counts her success. Want to know more? Why don’t you hear her story in area contest!!

How to change to another angle of view to see things, I think the key point is our attitude. So, I come across the theme Be Optimistic, hope you will like it.

Tonight, We will also hold a Humorous Speech Contest, hosting by our former president and current division governor Monica, about seven contestants will give their humorous speeches on site. So, it must be a marvelous and full of laughter there.

Come and join us! If you don’t want to miss the happy and beneficial journey.

Cheers,

CK - Toastmaster of the meeting

As we grow up, we have already faced a lot of choices, some were made on our willingness, some made with reluctance, that’s why I heard many many times that people use “I have to…” to describe their choices. it’s a pity they neglected their power in the decision making and makes our theme very beneficial : “Never Say I have to”

Looking forward to what he is going to bring us…But I have to say you won’t want to miss this interesting meeting with us!

Meeting Theme: The present is present                Word of the day: Motivate

Highlights:

Our Toastmaster Libby introduced us three characters all named “Liccy”, who live in the past, in the future and in the present respectively. She emphasized that why we should learn from the present Liccy; she is unique as she knows how to enjoy the present time and live a happy life each day. So learn from ‘Liccy’, let’s remove the past and forget the future , just concentrate on the each colorful day. Because you will never be healthier than today in your past ,and you will be never younger than today in your future, today is special, today is a present .

Table Topics Master: Maggie Sun

1 Simon took the courage and be the first volunteer ever. He has to explain what the present means to him. He decided to go to gym more often to keep healthy and thin, as a response to his collogues, who once said he was a bit fat.

2 Issa strengthened her answer “Yes” when asked “do you enjoy the present time”. Here is no regrets left if she dies tomorrow, because she cherishes everything she has gotten.

3 Our guest Vince is adapted to the stressful lifestyles in Beijing when asked if he like living in the present . He said that one needs to adapt the environment for a happy present time .

4 It’s a little surprising when Young applied to the question ”who do you think of right now ” by saying himself. He likes the life and work in the present.

5 Erina gave her opinion on group purchase in the present .She likes buying stuff on website because it’s very comfortable and saves time.

土司马丝中文演讲比赛

1 李高敏 演讲的题目“我来说沟通”。

高敏说，在生活中，我们无时无刻都在与不同的人交流，在交流中就需要沟通。良好的沟通和语言交流会产生促进作用，会让沟通双方的交流更上一个台阶。高敏回忆高中时候因不注意沟通技巧，和最好的朋友行同路人，以至后来很长一段时间，每和别人说话，都要想好几遍，来确定语言中没有什么问题。所以我们要学会沟通，要善于沟通。

2 康健 演讲的题目“为什么参加土司马丝”

取得PHD的康健告诉我们，他不是个天生的演讲者，不善于用语言表达自己，所以到土司马丝来提高自己的演讲能力。土司马丝是一个很好的演讲平台，给每个人提供练习和提高评阅能力的机会。

3 刘治东 演讲的题目“态度很重要”。

治东工作的单位是制作调制解调器的，他回忆有一次面试，他问一个本科毕业生“如果今天是你生命中的最后一天，你会怎么做？”该毕业生很坚定的回答“我要拼命的调适解调器，因为到了明天，我就不能调了。”治东被他的工作态度感动了，将其录用。两年之后，这个本科生做到了经理的职位。治东说，无论我们做什么事情，态度很重要。

4 项金珍 演讲的题目“和谐生活从赏识开始”

金珍说，赏识是一种很好的赞美，它能把从小失聪的孩子培养成博士，能让断臂男孩用双脚演奏出动人的曲子，能让你和你的爱人关系更亲密，能让你的团队更团结。

5 刘兵 演讲的题目“即时行乐”

刘兵花半个小时多的时间站在树下，观察树上不停鸣叫的知了。他说知了在地上的生命之短暂，从它会叫那刻起，就从早到晚一直不停的叫，来吸引异性。他感叹说，人的生命和知了相比，也只不过是短短的三十年，在这三十年中，我们每个人为工作忙碌，为生活忙碌，最终还是会老去。“即时行乐”是说，我们要珍惜身边美好的事物，每天快乐幸福生活。
