Toastmasters too flocked to WSD-KL and it shouldn’t come as a surprise.
After all, Toastmasters embrace public speaking – and World Speech Day is a public speaking event.
Besides, the organizers of WSD-KL are Toastmasters – and we are glad Toastmasters came to challenge themselves to speak on a public platform. We rightly tell them to step out of their comfort zone, i.e. their club environment – and speak in public.
At a WSD Event – we believe we can make a difference through the power of speech.
As Margaret Mead says: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has”.
Indeed! “He who wants to persuade should put his trust not in the right argument, but in the right word. The power of sound has always been greater than the power of sense” (Joseph Conrad).
Ralph Waldo Emerson sums it best: “Speech is power. Speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel. It is to bring another out of his bad sense into your good sense”.
See you at WSD-KL 2020! “The world is waiting for your words” (Arvee Robinson).
