Peter introduced the guest speaker today. Cynthia Ayers , a member of the Toastmasters Club . Her topic for today was : PATIENCE + PASSION = POWER This equation provides us all a purpose in life . We must all master patience in life . Cynthia has been a curling coach for many years . She had a student who wasn't so successful at picking up the sport . She was very persistent with John , and very slowly he improved . Most people would have given up on the sport . His PASSION for the sport grew . He wanted to try out for a competitive team . Cynthia was not sure if he was good enough , but he made the team . In time , with PATIENCE and PASSION , he became the coach of a University Varsity curling team ! Cynthia has a PASSION for her children , aged from 16 thru 46years old . She has dealt with many obstacles ... paper routes , broken relationships , chasing kids , competitive sports , alcoholic spouses , family conflicts , and bankruptcy . All along she encouraged her kids to succeed .... PASSION drives you , and PATIENCE is critical to succeed . This creates POWER , to achieve your PURPOSE in life . After losing her business in 2008 , Cynthia regained her CONFIDENCE by joining Toastmasters . This created a tremendous boost in her confidence , and she has never looked back . We must all overcome negativity , pick something POSITIVE , anything ... birdwatching etc . Lift yourself up , especially during this time of COVID . Interact with people , send a email to an old friend , to check on them . thank-you Cynthia , for a very inspirational talk ! |
