About Me
- Petraspassion
- I am passionate about life, art, public speaking, Toastmasters, volunteering and travelling. My mission is to share my life lessons through the art of public speaking and Toastmasters International Speech Contests. After joining Toastmasters for a few months, I won 2001 District Speaking off the cuff contest held in Hong Kong, making me the first and only winner from Thailand at District level. In 2001, 2002 and 2008 I won Thailand's International Speech Contests and between 2003-2004, served as Toastmasters' Thailand Division Governor and earned the Highest Distinction DTM - Distinguished Toastmaster in 2003. Up till now, I've been Convention speaker in Japan and Malaysia and have been visitting many Toastmasters clubs in many countries in the world. Look forward to sharing experiences with all the bloggers and Toastmasters. I have been an Effective Communication and Customer Service Instructor for Thai Airways International, Bangkok Hospital chain, Siam Cement, Seagate, Nortel, leading international hotel chain and have been a speech coach and speech writer for CEOs and Event Organizers. I'm also President of Europlus Travel catering for specialty tours.

How lovely - petraspassion.
ReplyDeleteI especially loved the invitation extended to me by that the empty bench overlooking a tranquil sea. The beauty of the brilliant white sea foam forming a line where the sea kisses the shore made me want to sit and just appreciate Nature.
The Japanese have two lovely terms that capture that photo's feeling so much more than English can - "wabi" and "sabi." Wabi expresses the emptiness that we sometimes experience that is not a negative but rather a "longing" and sabi also means the nostalgia of something once experienced that remains in the mind and heart like a burning ember... a glow of something once experienced or felt.
The photo is Simply Amazing for its simplicity and eloquence.
Thanks for sharing it and for sharing a part of your life with us through your blog.
