Success in one walk of life doesn’t compensate for the failure in other.

As a normal human being we feel ourselves happy and celebrate the moments of success. Ofcourse, a moment for which we have worked hard – day and night, is now bearing results. Yes, it is a moment that goes for a celebration. But many a times we get carried away with this celebration neglecting the other part or responsibilities or commitments of our life which is not the true essence of being a human. Someone said it very correctly “success in one walk of life doesn’t compensate for the failure in other.”

As Toastmasters we always try to strike a balance between the communication and leadership track. As soon as we are about to achieve a milestone in communication track lets say a Competent Communicator we see to it that we also achieve a milestone in Leadership track, Competent Leader as per the example. Truly, what is a communicator who cannot be a leader and what is a leader who cannot communicate!?

Let us also maintain this balance in our personal lives as well. We might get a promotion in our professional life but what is it if our family life is dull!? We might buy a new Mercedes but what is it if we do not have friends who could share it with us!? We might be Toastmasters as per the Toastmasters International membership but what is it if we aren’t practical Toastmasters!? Let us all communicate this enough both verbally and by means of our actions to bring in this change in ourselves and in our society. Let us not make one commitment suffer just because of another commitment. Let us all enjoy success in all walks of life!

Happy Toastmastering!
