Strong in a short table speech,Strong in a formal public speech,
Strong in a debate in groups or a vis-a-vis,
He is trendy and articulate, with humor.
He is an awesome speaker.
When he listens to the people,
Listens attentively and sincerely,
He gives comments and advices,
Always thinks in their shoes,
Encourages and draws conclusions
Constructive and beneficial,
He is a dependable mentor.
Traveling is his hobby.
Joys and sorrows with friends,
Housewarming in Idaho and Reston,
Phuket to comfort disastrous Tsunami,
Buffalo and Jilin for wedding parties,
And Taipei to cheer Natori dancing,
Berlin and Prague for finding new pals.
He is a globe trotter.
Currently residing in Kitakyushu, his 3rd hometown.
He's found a fulness of the hearts in this blue colored town.
Port town, San Diego, his 2nd hometown.
He's surrounded by Toastmasters wherever he goes
Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, Fukuoka, Kumamoto, even in Taichung
He is an international Toastmaster.
He hasn't finished finding his voice,
Not has he finished his walk
to be the person he aims to be.
