"TOASTMASTERS GAVE ME A BREAKTHROUGH IN LIFE"

 

When I was still a car salesman in 1992, everyday I was doing the same routine job-- waiting in the showroom!

 

The job did not give me much self esteem and slowly I  became less  confident in life.  I attended many 'motivational' seminars but none of them have any lasting effect on me.   Before long I always fall back to my  old self again.

 

One day, by chance I read in the NST ( News Straits Times) an article about Toastmasters.  It gave me the  idea to start a Toastmasters Club as there was none in Johor Bahru at that time.   I strongly believed that a Toastmasters club would benefit both myself and many other people.   With the support of friends, I eventually formed the first Toastmasters Club in Johor Bahru-  The Johor Bahru Toastmasters Club.

 

Two Years after joining Toastmasters, my social circle began to grow.   'Speaking on your feet'  or "Table Topics" actually helped me gain better self-confidence and enhanced my  self esteem.

 

And in 194 I was rec9ommended to become the Sales Manager for Johor Bahru with the then MBf-Peugeot Company --a job  I did well for many years.

 

I recommend anyone who want to achieve more in life to join Toastmasters !
