Congratulations, Hui Ting on representing our club and Brunei Toastmasters at the 2018 District 87 Table Topics Contest! She shared her experiences and lessons learned with us. We must all always put in the effort, strive and use opportunities presented to better ourselves. “Complacency breeds mediocrity, mediocrity stops potential.” Then again, effort breeds being busy, being busy stops us from enjoying Netflix.
