Top reason why I never felt ToastMasters my cup of tea from the bottom of my heart (even though I acted as their 卧底 at rolia from time to time)!

It is fake rather than real...fake presentation/discussion to/with pretended audience.

Personally, I like real-world stuff, and learning by doing, in work or life.

So, a presentation that is required at work, a conference call that needs your deep involvement...or, join the condominium resident committee/board of directors, or find some voluntary activities that help build my communication skills.

    • I cannot speak for the Toastmasters part as I’ve never been to one. But the rest, +1.
      • I sat in a couple of TM clubs for trial sessions. I am not saying they are totally useless but, to me, racking my brain for a popular story is not enjoyable...at least not for now.
        Maybe I'll start to enjoy it after some years...who knows.
    • 太高兴了, 美帝还健在! 这不, 马上加精了.
      • 胡司令=美帝?不是胡汉三?:)
        ok I presume not a whole lot of folks here would have any idea about Huhansan.....
        • 胡汉三是我93-97年曾用的中文网网名。您是。。。?
          • 伯通的妹妹周伯英的36世传人:) 对不起,讲笑的,93年好像我还没听说有网络论坛这回事呢,见笑了。。。最近可能怀旧太多了。。。
            • 然不是http型网络论坛,是nntp型网络牛屎铺。
              较真咧。。。你那时的网名是?
              • 好意思,乱讲笑,害你认错人了,说到胡汉三跟网名没关系,是以前一个亲戚爱说"我胡汉三又回来了",最近老是想家怀旧,想起了这些陈谷子烂芝麻的事,有感而发而已
      • 眼力太差了吧?美帝不是胡司令。
