傑出會員回顧

I started my Toastmasters journey back in 2013 in Taiwan Toastmasters Club and Hsinchu Toastmasters Club. Although I couldn’t continue at that time, the Toastmasters seed of life-long learning and positivity has been planted inside my heart ever since. In 2018, I joined Tainan Toastmasters Club without any hesitation after a job transfer back to my hometown. The best thing about being a Toastmaster is that you are always surrounded by outstanding people who are passionate, positive, good at communication, and lead by example. Following the steps of several role models and embracing the spirit of always saying YES, I served as Club VPE, President, Area Director, Club Coach, and Division Director. By accepting the opportunities, I was able to meet different people, build meaningful connections, work with teams on various projects, and most importantly, find true and lasting friendships.

As for the DTM award, I used to think of it as running a marathon, which seemed impossible at first. Luckily, I had senior members who kept encouraging me to break it down into smaller milestones, continue my efforts, and be open to any possibility. They were confident that I would reach the goal sooner than I imagined, and I did manage to achieve it within four years. Last but not least, I would like to express my gratitude to Division K and D67 Toastmasters family. Thank you for seeing my potential, nurturing me to become the best version of myself, and offering ongoing support along the way. Love you all! 我的演講會旅程始於2013年，我先後加入台灣雙聲帶及新竹分會。雖然只參加了一年左右就因工作因素而離開，演講會終身學習的精神和正向能量已在我心中悄悄地埋下了種子。回到台南工作後，我在2018年重新加入台南英語分會，延續未完的旅程。演講會最吸引我的地方是能夠接觸到許多熱情、正向、善於溝通且以身作則領導團隊的會友，他們都是我的偶像！跟隨偶像的步伐，並秉持永遠說YES的精神，我陸續擔任教育副會長、分會會長、區執行長、分會救援教練、部執行長等職務，並盡可能地造訪分會。我因此認識了許多會友、建立有意義的關係，並和團隊合作完成各式各樣的活動。更可貴的是，我獲得了真誠且長久的友誼。以前的我總覺得，成為傑出會員就像是新手跑馬拉松，幾乎是不可能的任務，但身旁的會友總是鼓勵我，將目標切分成較小的里程碑、持續穩定地付出、保持開放的態度，相信能很快水到渠成。之後在許多人的協助下，我順利的在四年內達到傑出會員的目標。最後我想透過這個機會對K部和D67的演講會大家庭表達謝意，演講會激發了我的潛力、推動我往前，讓我成為最好的自己，我愛你們！
