Dreaming Big

Some of us dream big. There is nothing wrong with dreaming, because after all, the world that we are in today is built from dreams that many had in the past. Without the many great men who dreamt and dared to pursue their dreams, we would not have the world that we live in today.

While dreaming big is not wrong, at times we would be laughed at for having big dreams. Some call our dreams silly, some call us too ambitious, and some would even start labeling us crazy. However, if we listen to our inner selves, have faith in ourselves, and work hard towards achieving our dreams, no one can possibly stop us. As the wise one once said, "What your mind can conceive and believe, you can achieve".

At Mid Valley Toastmasters Club, we believe in dreaming, and working towards achieving your dreams. On 11th October 2010, we met with the theme of "Dreaming Big". We shared our dreams when we introduced ourselves and proceeded with a unique table topics session where we built a story together on how dreaming big led to a boy's adventure to space. We ended the meeting with all of us closing our eyes and going deep into ourselves to reinforce our dreams, and to strive towards achieving those dreams.

Congratulations to the winners for the night:
1) Best Speaker: Loh Chia Hur

2) Best Evaluator: Tan Poh Leong

3) Best Table Topics Speaker: Jocelyn


Special thanks to our General Evaluator Alan Tan for attending the meeting.
