Toastmasters International is a non-profit organization governed by a Board of Directors elected by the membership. The first Toastmasters club was established on October 22, 1924, in Santa Ana, California, by Dr. Ralph C. Smedley, who conceived and developed the idea of helping others to speak more effectively. More clubs were formed, and Toastmasters International was incorporated under California law on December 19, 1932
Keep Moving
Don't stop - keep moving!
"If you're not going forward, you're going backwards." This psychological truth is grounded in a powerful law of nature. Everything around us is permanently moving - the earth around the sun, the four seasons, plants, animals - and so are we, both in our private and our business lives. Resisting this law causes stagnation. It's only a small step from there to a life-destroying self-satisfaction.
Life is like riding a bicycle.
To keep your balance you must keep moving.
- Albert Einstein
Keep moving forward. That's how winning is done...
- Rocky Balboa
Move forward
It is not enough just to be alive - we must feel alive. For that to happen we have to move forward all the time, constantly asking the why question, developing new ideas, and trying new ways of doing things. Our past is an important part of our life and it's good for us to treasure it and to apply the lessons learned. But whatever happened in the past, joyful or sad, is history and we have to focus on the future. So move forward. It's the law of nature and no one can overturn it. Are you stuck in a rut? Move forward!
