STUCK IN A RUT

  • Shed the old skin - we must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us. Be flexible enough to turn over a new page and start the next chapter.


  • See the good, expect the best. Your mind is a powerful tool. Don’t waste it over what you don’t have.


  • Challenge yourself. A sure way to fire up enthusiasm and zest for life is to take on a major challenge. Join Speakeasy toastmasters.


  • Initiate positive action. Getting our of a mental rut and gaining more from life means becoming the initiator. Do more than ‘belong’ – ‘participate’


  • Think like a champion – when your mental energy is low and lethargic try thinking like a champion. Get out there and instead of trying not to loose, try to win. Have a game plan - realizing that talent alone is seldom enough.


Remember nothing great was never earned without enthusiasm. Allocate time in your schedule to come to the next Speakeasy Toastmasters Club Meeting at the Hibernian Hotel on Thursday February 8th at 7.40 pm sharp. A great night is guaranteed. We have four excellent speakers and our topics session is guaranteed to enterain. May I sayguests will not be asked to speak, but of course may do so if they so wish. Since September we have quite a few guests and the feed back is gratifying. There is a general election coming up so all you supporters of the various parties if you want to improve your canvassing skills come and join us. You will go home fulfilled, and with a few ideas on how to convince the voter that your’s is the party to be supported. Needless to say we are non political – so all party supporters are welcome. You could say - you will not all be singing out of the same hymn sheet but you could learn the tools of the trade from the same hymn sheet. Just change the words to your own music afterwards!! We have gone up market – the kettle is not on the hob anymore, but for €5 we still serve tea and coffee and ‘the best’ biscuits at half time. Not bad I can hear even the greatest sceptic think!
