Tae-ho –
CC#09
I don’t have time to prepare for my roles”
“ The commute is too long for me to attend
toastmasters meetings”.
“Coming up with speech topics is very
difficult for me”
We come up with a million reasons for not
attending meetings and for not doing our projects.
Whenever human race is bogged down by the lack
of self-confidence, hard-work, and attitude, God always sends someone so that
people can get motivated, inspired and prosper in life.
Good evening toastmaster of the day fellow
toastmasters and distinguished guests.
God has sent me … Tae-ho, today I belong to
south-Korea. I’m a tiny little boy. My eyes are blue and my hairs dance rhythmically
in my fore-head.
Oh! Where are my arms? Am I hiding it
behind my shirt or trousers! No … I was born without arms and a congenital
deformity of legs, 4 toes each. On seeing my disabilities I was abandoned right
after my birth. I didn’t lose hope. I do like arms, the most. But I don’t have
one… actually two! Instead of worrying about what I don’t have … I began living
happily with what I have. Instead of complaining about things that are beyond
my influence… I decided to focus on things that are under my influence. Even
though I don’t have hands I have my two legs. Yea – Yea Yes – Yes.
Sometimes I will suffer from fever,
head-ache. My throat hurts, my stomach hurts, but my attitude never hurts. The
doctor told, under my circumstance, I won’t be alive beyond the age of 10. Now
I am 11 years old, roaring to go.
If arms are not there, Can’t we use spoons? How even the
humblest and most harmless of things like a blade of grass could be turned into
a weapon of destruction, in the hands of an accomplished person.
Oh the chicken was grilled well! The soup
tastes good. I love it (kissing part). I can remove the food particles in my
mouth like this. I can give romantic
looks by keeping my chin like this. I can keep listening the lessons in the
school. I can play like others and I
love to play with my brother. Ha – Ha- HA
Even-though I don’t have arms, I don’t
expect other’s help. Instead I will try to do it myself. People with arms are
not brushing their tooth properly, but I am brushing my tooth regularly and my
teeth are glistening like mirror. Also I will help others. My four toes are
limitless with that I can do whatever I want. The special doors pull, for my
toe.
Come-on, Come-on. Hey – Hey My lovely
mirror. I can also apply fair & handsome in the temple, right cheek, left cheek.
How am I? Super is not? My hair looks great. I look great! Yeh – Yeh - Yeh ! I
can dress and undress myself. Mmmm Removing my trousers come –on come-on – yeah
yeah
I know swimming also. Doctors say due to my
excessive usage of foot like arms, my spine got bent. But I don’t care about
it. I will live my life with roller coaster happiness. Since I don’t have arms,
heat in my body won’t be able to dissipate outside. So I will get fever easily.
One day I will become a doctor and will put big injection on you. Hey stop
pushing me! I can I can.
You are not physically challenged as I am. I
am a man of strong will… What about you?
Hey … YOU !… toastmasters watching my video
at Chennai… How many of you are actively participating in the meetings? How
many of you giving regular speeches? I
am already in the gavel club and I am going to finish my cc next week what
about you? If I am able to do so many
things with the so little things that I have… why Ccan’t you ? Blaming
circumstances is very easy… but, influencing them is difficult. It is easy to limit
ourselves by giving excuses … but, it is difficult to do something and prove others
“Yes ! I can”Please introspect
yourselves. I am very happy that my
video is used to motivate others. Bye!
bye!
Dear Friends, look at the members from our own
club Saro Kartik Nina, Lalitha Abraham Aditya, Sastha, Rajesh, Prabha, Saday. If
they can do it, why can’t you?! The amount of confidence and leadership you
gain from this movement is enormous. Rome was not built in a day. A journey of
thousand miles starts with a single step. Take a single step today and continue
it for a time, your life will be changed forever.
