Message from the Contest Chairman
According to Arthur G. Keough, “Greatness is not standing above our
fellows and ordering them around. It is standing with them and helping
them to be all they can be.” In Toastmasters, we learn to lead teams and
guide others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere.
Division G is a living testament of how this community of learners in the
KSA- Western Region creates their path in leadership. After all, life is all
about empowering people to follow their dreams.
On the 12th Division G Annual Contest, our theme is ACE to GREATNESS.
Greatness can be attained by everyone. We all have the potential to be
great … we all have the ACE to be great!
ATTITUDE. Our attitude towards work, our leaders and our fellow
Toastmasters greatly affects the quality of service we render to each and
every one. Our attitude towards other people will have a strong impact
on the response we get from them. If you love them, if you are grateful,
if you appreciate them, and if you are kind, they will love you back. Our
attitude defines us as an individual and as a Toastmaster.
COMMITMENT. When we are committed we accept no excuses, only
results. Failure to commit can make you feel like you are doing the right
thing, but it actually hides your confidence. As we know in Toastmasters,
everyone admires confidence (with a heart)!
EXCELLENCE. Helping others regardless of what’s in it for you, exceeding
expectations and going that extra mile set you apart from others. Living
a life of excellence is continually making a contribution and doing things
right.
Division G is of course a symbol of Greatness. What more can I say? We
are the mother of all clubs in the Western Region, therefore we radiate
greatness. We want to positively inspire those around us.
As the Contest Chairman for this year, I am confident that we at Division
G hold all the aces!
I would like to thank our Division G Director TM Kuhni, the Committees
and all the participants for their positive Attitude coupled with their
steadfast Commitment in pursuing Excellence in our 12th Division G
Annual Contest.
Let us all live it and inspire the world!
Ramces Dungog, ACS, ALB
