Two-minute speech at Toastmasters District 83 Executive Committee Meeting on May 7th, 2011

District Leaders and Fellow Toastmasters,

According to the World Health Organization, there are three aspects of health. They are physical health, mental health and social health. A person’s social health can only be achieved by connecting and interacting with others.

I love Toastmasters not only because it provides a wonderful environment for me to improve my English and develop my public speaking skills but also because Toastmasters is actually a bridge for me to connect myself with others and with the society.

The feeling of being a part of a community or a part of the society is important for a person’s health. In Toastmasters, every member has the opportunity to maintain and promote his social health by interacting with his fellow members and by his personal growth. And improving the social health of individuals actually also improve the social health of societies. In this respect, I believe, Toastmasters benefits not only its members, but also the society.
