五月總會長來信 District Director Letter-May

Updated Date: 2022-05-02

Dear members,
Plant seeds in spring; cultivate soil in summer, harvest in fall and celebrate in winter best describes my District Director journey. Many people ask how I can do so many things at the same time. In addition to Toastmasters, I still need to help run our family business, keep my diverse interests, and do many chores. Good time management and always prioritize. Do not postpone what we can do right away. Break the huge project into small steps and follow up properly. These tips have helped me to become an effective leader.

I always love the fable which inspires me to be aware of our perspective. There was a lady who always complained about the tiny space she lived in. To solve the problem, she listened to a wise man, who asked her to let one animal after another move in-a hen, a goat, a pig and eventually a cow lived with her. Just when she couldn’t stand it anymore, the wise man told her to free all the animals. Suddenly, the house felt so big and comfortable without all the animals. When 24 hours a day just doesn’t seem like enough, yet I still need to somehow make time to work on Toastmasters related matters. What I do is to make every second count! I can see when I finish my term, 24 hours a day will have a very different meaning to me! As officers we are honored to serve and lead. Let’s seize the chance to do our best! What legacy are you going to leave to your club, area, division, and district?

I still remembered last July, my first month as DD, I set our annual goal as “Empower Leaders”. Set the goal, make plans, overcome challenges, and go for success! If we overcome the difficulties one after another, then it’s worth celebrating! Now it’s almost time to celebrate your success with your team!


I’m currently busy making Thank-You lists. Thinking back to the past 10 months, there are so many people whom I’m so thankful for. QLC Chair-Joy Tsai, Speechcraft Chair- Simone Nash, Contest and Judge Chair-Richard Lo, Club Quality Chair-William Chiu, Pathways Chair-Yun-ling Wang, Recognition Chair-Yu-Xian Liu, Extension Chair- Regina Cheng, Coach Chair-Edward Chen, Harry Fang, and Eric Liang. Thank you for assisting the development of our district through sharing your knowledge and experience. We appreciate your willingness to use your talents to provide an excellent environment to help those that are around us grow.


We try to make differences in each other’s lives in Toastmasters. By leading a team, we experience the joy of completing every project. In April, we finished our district contests, elected our future leaders and now we are working on providing the best online annual conference. Thanks to our Conference Manager-Tina Lee, Conference Chairs-Jersheng Lin, Kevin Lin, Scott Su and Co-Chair-Yun- chung Wu and Li-fang Chin.

I’m so happy that we’ve been working together for the last 10 months. Now there are only 2 month left, what’s your goal as a member and officer? Let’s keep strive for excellence in Toastmasters.

各位親愛的會友，

春耕、夏耘、秋穫、冬藏；對我來說這是擔任演講會總會長這一年最踏實的寫照。常常很多人問我，我怎麼可能同時做這麼多事情？沒錯，除了演講會，我們的家族事業，我廣泛的興趣愛好，家庭大小事都需要妥善安排。學會時間管理、掌握緊急和重要的，『急事慢辦，小事立辦』，可以立刻做的不拖延，重要的計畫分段定期追蹤進行，成就日理萬機的高效率生活。這也是願意承擔最甜美的成長。

我一直喜歡一個童話故事，因為它啟發了我，人的感覺是非常主觀的。抱怨家裡空間不夠的故事主角，聽從智者的話，把原本家裡小空間還一次次放入各種動物一起生活，從母雞、山羊、豬，最後連乳牛都牽進屋子來了。主角雖然覺得智者很瘋狂，但還是照辦。就當主角根本沒有生活空間可言的臨界點來到前，智者請主角將動物們全部趕出家中，最後回復到原本的家。主人發現，自己原本抱怨的空間太小的家，沒有了這些動物後，變得好大好舒適！這也是我在擔任總會幹部職責時的領悟。我的太小是我的時間，原本一天24小時都不夠用了，現在還要承擔演講會重擔，只好找出零零碎碎時間，規律有計劃地跟著自己訂的目標走，卻也不知不覺將時間做了最好的安排，將腦袋做了最有效率的運用。我已經看到在我完成任期任務時，我未來的一天24小時，沒有職責承擔時，會是多麼地暇意舒服又夠我用呀！所以我也鼓勵大家，能成為領導者是很榮耀的一件事，把握機會盡心盡力為之。我們想想，我們2021-2022團隊想留下什麼印象給我們的分會、分區、分部和台灣呢？

還記得去年七月，一上任總會長之初，我們訂定的年度目標就是：『培養領導人』。接著我們引導大家一步步設定目標，擬定計劃，克服困難，邁向成功。如果大家通過了層層的考驗，恭喜大家，現在正是我們和團隊們歡呼慶祝的時刻了！

五月份我忙著整理感謝名單-給團隊的主席們丶幹部們。回想這一年來大家對總會的協助和幫忙，深深感激。優質領導主席蔡嬌燕；比賽裁判主席羅昌鴻；演講訓練營主席吳慧妮，教育訓練主席邱羽立，教育途徑主席王韻齡；青少年領導主席楊冀光；表揚主席劉雨軒；；鄭純如推廣主席；陳世明總教練、方瑞源總教練、梁守誠總教練。您的才能丶博聞和願意撥出時間促進台灣67區演講會的發展，已經成為我們表率。感謝您願意用上天給我們的才華提供好的學習環境給身旁的人，讓生命更成長更豐盛。

在演講會，我們為了創造不同而努力著。帶領團隊透過不斷學習精進自己，體驗完成每一項工作所帶來的快樂和成就。四月份我們完成了全國線上比賽，選舉出下一屆總會幹部，正在規劃中的線上年度大會也即將精彩登場。感謝年度大會總召李伊婷，年度大會主席林哲生，林鈞仁，蘇彥儒；副主席：吳允中，覃櫟芳，還有許多幹部們付出的寶貴心力和時間。

非常開心和大家密切合作10個月了。只剩最後的兩個月了，無論是會員或是幹部，您在演講會的目標是什麼呢？讓我們繼續邁向成功！

2021-2022 總會長：郭麗琴
