Speech in Toastmasters Club

Yesterday I said a speech in Toastmaster's Club. The title of the speech is Online Community. For the past few years I have been following a few accomplished personalities on social media. The people I follow come from diverse walks of life and are proficient in areas such as music, dance, entrepreneurship, acting, administration etc. It seems to me as though every week I start following a new person on social media. Checking their social media accounts and updating myself on the events in their life, watching their interviews, or their performances has not just given me hours of entertainment but also given me an online community to be inspired by, and comforted from, and to learn about important lessons in life. I think the first person who I started following is a 19 year old named Sreya Jayadeep. She is a reality show winner and a talented singer who sings for Indian movies. What I like about her is that she never misses an opportunity to sing. From the variety and massive number of her singing engagements it is evident that she always says yes to singing. She sings in different venues such as temples, stadiums, auditoriums and even visited the Indian community in the US to sing. She is completely immersed in her singing world and in her song while she sings. Another person I have been following on social media is Bollywood actress Ananya Pandey. What I like best about her is that she is an actor because she loves acting. She always knew this is what she wanted to do in life. She takes her work very seriously but never lets it consume her. Although she pursues a career in acting she has other interests and goals in life which she pays attention to such as decorating. She is very grounded and stays close to her family. She is considered to be extremely well dressed and fashionable and her fashion mantra is "Be yourself. And be comfortable." To be continued....
