Theme: Be Happy. It is One way of being wise
WOD Celebration - Festivity
Thank you Gama for that nice introduction.
Fellow Toastmasters and guests.
To be Wise, be happy says Colette. I wondered if happiness creates intelligence. I was convinced in a short while. This is with my experience. I observed that when I was happy, I really did not do anything foolish. Even if I did one, I did it with enthusiasm, energy and people appreciated. So, I understood that the best way to do an activity is to do it with energy, enthusiasm and be happy to celebrate the result. The best example whom I could think was Charlie Chaplin. Reading his biography where he had to face tough situations in his personal life, we all know him as an entertainer. He was able to gain the name just because he kept himself happy in spite of his problems. The three best ways to be happy are
1. Do not want more
2. Do not compare
3. Do not criticize
To proceed with the meeting, let me describe the format of a TM meeting for the benefit of the guests. The session contains 3 parts.
Prepared Speech session
Table topics session
Evaluation session
In prepared speech session, members prepare speeches according to the competent communicator manual and come and deliver their speeches. The manual is designed to improve our public speaking skills in a structured manner. Proj 1 help us to introduce ourselves while we network. Project 2 to project 6 help us in practicing the various attributes in public speaking like structuring our thoughts, talking with involvement, words which we use, body language and voice. Project 7 to Project 10 help us in research, presentation , persuasion and inspiration.
The second session is a table topic session. This requires no preparation. Members/non members will be invited and asked to speak on a topic for 2 min.
The last session for today is the evaluation session. Here we have an general evaluator who will observe the proceedings of the meeting and finally deliver his opinion on the good happenings and improvement areas.
Today we have an toastmaster, who has consistently won the best speaker award for all his speeches. He is a charted accountant with GE. I request Joydeep nag to explain his role as a GE to all of us.
The great way to start the year is to be happy. Happy on celebration. Happy as today we have 5 inspiring speakers taking their projects from competent communicator manual. Happy as we are floating in the sky as members constantly involve to evolve.

I am Happy
I am happy because I always choose the right moment.
I am happy because I am a good listener.
I am happy because I keep my voice down.
I am happy because I do not try to convince others.
I am happy because I do not complain.
I am happy because I do not do two things at the same time.
I am happy because I never think of two objects at the same time.
I am happy because I have realized the truth that the most important thing in my life is self-improvement.
I am happy because I unreservedly accentuate the good in others.
I am happy because I have considerably cut down on my desiring needs.
I am happy because I follow my thought-control programme every day.
I am happy because I never quit.
I am happy because every day I purify my heart by offering my heart of gratitude to the Absolute Supreme.
I am happy because I know that my love of purity works wonders.
I am happy because of a soulful daily prayer of mine, and that prayer is:
“O Beloved Supreme,
O Eternity’s Pilot Supreme,
Do transform the world
Starting with me, my life, my all.”
I am happy because every day I cry and cry to see the Real in me. The Real in me is my oneness divine, unreserved and unconditional, with the Will of my Beloved Supreme.
I am happy not because I am for my Supreme Pilot, not because my Supreme Pilot is for me, but because my Supreme Pilot eternally is. His very existence here on earth, there in Heaven, is my satisfaction. When I try to have Him for myself, I pull Him into my desire-life. But when I am for Him, I carry my desire-life into Him. In no way do I want to bind my Beloved Supreme. From now on my satisfaction, my supreme satisfaction, will lie only in my discovery of the fact that He alone eternally is.
Lyrics to Don't Worry, Be Happy :
(whistling)
Here's a little song i wrote,
you might want to sing it note for note,
don't worry, be happy
in every life we have some trouble,
when you worry you make it double
don't worry, be happy
dont worry be happy now
dont worry be happy
dont worry be happy
dont worry be happy
dont worry be happy
aint got no place to lay your head,
somebody came and took your bed,
don't worry, be happy
the landlord say your rent is late,
he may have to litagate,
dont worry (small laugh) be happy,
look at me im happy,
don't worry, be happy
i give you my phone number,
when your worried, call me,
i make you happy
don't worry, be happy
aint got no cash, aint got no style,
aint got no gal to make you smile
but don't worry, be happy
cos when you worry, your face will frown,
and that will bring everybody down,
so don't worry, be happy
don't worry, be happy now...
don't worry, be happy
don't worry, be happy
don't worry, be happy
don't worry, be happy
now there this song i wrote
i hope you you learned it note for note
like good little children
dont worry be happy
listen to what i say
in your life expect some trouble
when you worry you make it double
dont worry be happy
be happy now
dont worry, be happy
dont worry, be happy
dont worry, be happy
dont worry, be happy
dont worry
dont worry be happy
don't worry, don't worry, don't do it,
be happy,put a smile on your face,
don't bring everybody down like this
don't worry, it will soon pass whatever it is,
don't worry, be happy,
i'm not worried
