Back from Shanghai Toastmasters Club

DSC_3135_resizeTwo days ago,  I had my plan to Shanghai. This time was not for prescribing herb medicine, but for entering into Shanghai Putong Toastmasters Club’s meeting and a 2nd anniversary party held by Lighthouse Toastmasters Club.

A round-trip in one day to Shanghai is a little bit tired. In the morning, I still thought over and over again whether I should come to or not. And finally, I decided to go,  however, done is better than said. Different person has his or her own purpose, not like the other two members of our West Lake Toastmasters Club, they came for meeting old friends and doing a social connecting work for club, mine was very simple, just opened my eyes and heart there, actuallay I am a new member of this almost 80 years old club, there’s a long way to go.

That was so lucky that I benefit a lot from everyone there. So it is worthwhile. The  humour, power and passion they have are the most incredible thing which touched me a lot. Each applauder I gave was from my deep heart. I appreciated all the speeches, no matter good or bad. I yelled for each performance they made, each was with their pains before they put on stage.  And I song with them, cause they are so sincere, then you couldn’t help singing with them. That was a problem, I should be very much careful about my throat because I spoke too much when I taught, so the less I use my throat the better,  but at that moment I forgot all about it.  I just threw myself  into the environment. And I believe everybody did, not only me. 

Someone have joined TMC for 6 years. Some might be a fresh man there, so am I. Some work as  leadership.  Everyone feel free to share his or her experience and experiences, no matter what English level you have, no matter how old you are, no matter which country you belong to, everyone is welcome here in TMC.
