Every good story has a beginning, a middle and an end. Not exactly in that order. - Toastmasters Icebreaker
For more than one reason, I recently joined the Toastmaster club of my office. I visited once as a guest and signed up for membership straight away. On my second visit the Sargent at arms asked if I would like to volunteer for anything for the next meeting. Mostly because she is a nice and funny woman, and saying no is not my strongest virtues, I signed up for a speech. For all those who do not know, the first speech is called ice breaker and it is simply about introducing yourself to the club. Choosing a topic was the toughest part, considering that I wrote it just in time for the meeting. Having not practised it beforehand, I crossed the time limit (by almost two minutes!). I am sharing it because few of my colleagues advised that I should. And also because my husband has pestered me enough for it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you madam toastmaster, fellow members and guests. This being my first speech,
