12th Division G Annual Contest | Page 16

Message from the Past Division G Governor (2012-2013) Congratulations Division G – District 79 on your 12th Annual Conference. Holding such a huge event is a testament of the greatness of the leaders in Division G under the Directorship of TM Mohammed Kunhi Purayil. I also wish to commend the Conference Chairman, TM Ramces Dungog, along with his Conference Team for courageously accepting the challenge of organizing the conference despite time constraints. This is indeed a manifestation of having the right attitude and a commitment to excellence towards greatness. This year’s theme ACE to Greatness is not only a wakeup call to our leaders. While it is not new to our ears, the journey towards greatness is for all of us, for everything that we do; and, for whatever goals we have. Greatness comes not in the achievement of every endeavor but in the days and nights of making the preparations and in taking the required action towards achieving our goal. We feel great every time we achieve a goal; but, we should feel much greater whenever we fail because indeed there is so much greatness in every failure. This year’s theme capitalizes on Attitude, Commitment and Excellence which I also believe that all three make up a solid formula towards greatness. Having the right attitude defines our determination to face every challenge that may come our way. When we have the right attitude, we will develop the needed commitment to achieve and excel in every endeavor of our lives. We should always remember that attitude is a choice. Congratulations again to the leaders and Toastmasters of Division G – District 79. Reginaldo Maga, Jr., DTM Past Division G Governor – 2012/2013 12
