Whom or What
The story goes like this. . . . . . .
A man was polishing his new car..., his 6 yr. old son picked up a stone and scratched on the side of the car. In anger, the furious man took his child's hand and hit it many times, not realizing he was using a wrench.
At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures.
When the child saw his father, with painful eyes he asked:
'Dad when will my fingers grow back?'
The man was so hurt and speechless. He went back to the car and kicked it many times. Devastated by his own actions, sitting in front of the car he looked at the scratches; his son had written:
'LOVE YOU DAD'.
Next day, that man committed suicide.
Remember, Anger and Love have no limits . . .
Always remember... "Things are to be used and people are to be loved"
But the problem in today's world is....
"People are being USED & Things are being LOVED"
Let's make a difference today.

Our Meeting No 379
"Every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow."
Doug Firebaugh
------------
Our 379th MIM Toastmasters Club Meeting today was, as always, a great success.
With two guests and a visiting toastmaster in our midst, we were able to share 2 hours of quality time although we did not have the quantity.
Toastmaster of the Evening, was our CC Kenny Koh who made did a good job of making everyone feel welcomed.
Two of our toastmasters wore two hats this evening:
ACC Jason Kum as General Evaluator and 'Ah' Counter.
IPP Simon Tan was SAA and Humour Master.
The MIM Toastmasters Club provides a positive environment for individuals to pick up multiple skills. Some of them include:
1. Taking up last minute appointments for meetings;
2. Wearing two hats;
3. Organising meetings;
4. Organising events;
5. Leading a group of people;
6. Opening a cake box prettily;
7. Eating and talking at the same time;
8. Encouranging and motivating one another.
With such skills, everyone will be able to hold their head up high and say proudly, "I am a Toastmaster"!
Some pictures of the evening...

The one and only speaker of the evening was, yours truly, with the speech title of "Un-Earthly Actions". The speech was for Project 7, Research Your Topic, and was about being green and environmentally friendly.
Our August birthday boy, President Glenn Koh. How old is he? (Ask him!)
My evaluator for the evening, ATM Mohd Awee. Thank you for your contributions!And he also won the Best Table Topics Speaker for the evening too.
Well worth the trip, right?
Therefore, a big round of applause to all who came today! And to our two guests, Becky and Ryan, we hope you enjoyed yourselves, because we enjoyed having you there today!
See you on the 18th August!

What do YOU command?
We always unconsciously recognise a leader.
When strangers are thrown into a group, a leader will always emerge.
Many books and articles talk about CHARISMA in a leader. I personally don't think charisma is a necessity in a leader. It's a 'good to have', but not an essential part of a leader.
Leaders command respect. Followers will automatically respond to leaders who command respect. They will say that there is an 'aura' about that person to attract and entice people to listen, to agree and to follow.
I do not believe that leaders are born. All leaders are forged like a sword, from raw metal into a beautiful piece of workmanship, through fire and water and a lot of knocking around. The intensity of the fire and knocking may differ, but the results are the same - a strong character is formed.
A character that commands respect from people around him or her. A magnetic force that automatically turns into charisma. Assertive yet gentle. Forceful yet thoughful.
What qualities do we think of when we think of someone with such a character?
I can come up with the following three:
1. Confidence
2. Far-sightedness
3. Trustworthiness / Honesty
Other qualities such as communication and delegation are, to me, 'good to have' qualities.
I can imagine a leader who does not say very much. But when he does start to say something, everyone keeps quiet to listen, because what he has to say makes sense and it gives direction and purpose.
-------------
In every society, we look for a leader. We look for someone to be at the head of the line.
The parent-child at home. Your manager or supervisor at work. Your spiritual leader. The President or Prime Minister of your country.
It is an in-built function that we are born with. Hence, all of us are followers, and only some of us will be leaders.
Being a leader is a choice.
In a group of strangers, landed on an island and the only way is to obtain everyone's help to built a boat to escape the island - someone will eventually have to speak out to give instructions to the others. If the others are desperate enough to leave the island, they will follow the instructions.
----------------
What do people see when they see you? What is the first impression you give them?
Do you command respect or do you just command?

International Night Meeting 28 July 2009
With the help of fellow toastmasters, balloon decorations were put up and good tasty food was prepared.
The meeting was an international success!!
We had ACB Jason Kum give his speech about 'Staying Positive'! It was simple yet inspiring, yet humorous.
Let's have a picture speak a thousand words...
Which means that if we have about twenty pictures, they will be shouting out TWENTY THOUSAND words!
Club President, distracted by camera...
Our Table Topics Master, IPP CC Simon Tan, with various saying regarding "Friends".
ACS Harold Angus being given the topic from one of those colourful balloons on the wall.
CC Ee Jun Wai, the 'handsome' one, giving his take on table topics.
Fun and laughter during our meetings - a definite MUST during all our meetings.
