CRISPY TOAST 2

So, i am proud to announce that my first toastmasters speech went off without a hitch last week. Its strange how the nerves kicked in just as I got on my bike to cycle to my meeting and then they dissipated as quickly as they had come, even when i found out I was going first. Maybe it's a room full of people with a common purpose and their judgement neatly stowed away that made the whole process of speaking in front of 25 people such a breeze.


I have set my self a goal to complete 6 speeches by the end of the year, this might seem an easy task but my meetings are only every 2 weeks and so that technically means i will need to do a speech each time i go to my meetings or round about there.


My first speech was just an introduction, but the second speech I am working on delves into the art of happiness and I will be sure to post it  as well as the video on my post once i'm done.


Sometimes I find it strange but obviously obvious that we as people focus on what we are not good at and try to master or be it, but what about being good at something and then perfecting it. That's how i feel about public speaking; i'm fine in front of crowd, verves do not get the better of me, its easy for me to write a speech and my voice reaches far corners, ...so why the hell am i bent on being a toasty? because i want to be better, i want to master something i already show promise in....how lazy of me :0


I strongly recommend joining toasty even if its just to be part of something, i promise you will learn something about yourself, i know I already have.
