18th July 2010 marked yet another great start to the fiscal year of 2010/2011 as Cabinet Officers attended the 1st Cabinet meeting led by District Governor Hudson Hah. Also present were PCC Jeffrey Quah, PCC Patrick Chew and PDG Jason Lee.
District Governor Hudson stressed on the fact that this fiscal year, his theme is SERVE with PASSION. One of the major pointers of this is to serve with "Pleasure" rather than "Pressure". He added that it is essential for us not to force ourselves to do something that we do not want to, but rather doing something that WE want to. His inspiring keynote opening address set a basic guideline to all Cabinet Officers. Later, respective Cabinet Officers reported their plans.
After a quick brunch, cabinet officers and several BOD of Lions Clubs that attending the school for in-coming officers had the privilege of attending the District Theme Talk ~ Serve with Passion!
Y.Bhg Dato' Lawrence Chan, who is a famous international speaker, rushed down to give this talk despite of his hectic schedule. His credits included the success stories of the Malaysian Hockey Team, the badminton team that brought home the Thomas Cup (those days...) and several other corporate firms that rose from nothing to something to ... THE THING!!!!
His wit and wry humour certainly was a high ice-breaker for all. Not forgetting his sarcasm, his method of revealing the ugly truth about facts of life certainly captured the attention of all and throughout the hour, no one felt bored, sleepy or restless as everyone was just captivated listening to Y.Bhg Dato'.
One of the many areas he touched on is... "To do something... you must first be able to like what you do.. and do what you like. Otherwise.. what's the point of doing what you're doing!"
His method was to train the mind and change the paradigm mindset of his students, and for the Lions that day, the Y.Bhd Dato' certainly have sparked a little something in each of our minds to think, then act! He certainly have motivated us to continue doing what we are doing, and be proud of it too! It is only then, we will be able to share and give love and...unconditional love!
We have recorded snippets of his talk and once it is edited, we shall post it up here!
Roarrrr!!!!!
