Message from Division A Governor

Dear Fellow Toastmasters of Division A,

Greetings from your DivA.

We have just crossed two and a half months of our term.

Much have been done and accomplished and Clubs in their respective Areas are presently busy with their Club and Area Contests.

To all the Contestants “It’s not the mountain you conquer but yourselves…All the Very Best”.

Opportunity is all around us. What matters most is where we put our focus.

Where we focus our attention, we create strength and momentum.

Three characteristics of momentum are :-

• Singlemindedness
• Passion
• Commitment

Let us be singleminded in pursuit of our goals, have the passion and commitment to finish in style.

I take this opportunity to wish all our Muslim friends “Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri” and to the rest “Take a break and enjoy your holidays.

Finishing Well: One Day at a time

Let’s shape our future together…Be our best, Go For Greatness.”

Cindy Wong

• Deal with bias – its nature, identification and elimination
• Understand the factors that comprise a contest-winning speech in terms of the defined speech criteria
• Judge a speech as an entity, not merely the sum of its parts
• Understand the meaning and value of the ballot in terms of contest placements
