FROM THE FIELD

in my mind and attitude. THE SKY IS!

The moral to the story (and here’s where I
differ from Chicken Little) is that despite our
fears about a “new” program, it is successful. It’s
the method of delivery that has changed, not

the content. We still learn how to speak, how to
evaluate and how to lead. We still attend club
meetings, conduct speech contests, and have fun
doing it all. Ergo, fellow travelers on the road

called Toastmasters, don’t be like I was. Carry The secret of change
your placard proudly and proclaim to all the
simple, unvarnished truth. Pathways is here to
stay—and it works! Don’t agonize over becoming is to focus all of

a confident speaker but embrace what is offered.
Find your voice, your place, and your success. your energy, not on
Writer José N. Harris believed this when he said
“When you find your path, you must ignore fear.

But once you are on the road . . . run, run, run, fighting the old, but
and don’t stop til you’ve reached the end.”
Like Ebenezer Scrooge on Christmas
morning “I’m not the man I was.” Goodbye on building the new

to Chicken Little. Hello Mr. Pathways. Zealot-
crusader-revolutionary. I’ve confessed now. I feel
absolved and restored. Thanks for allowing me .— Socrates
to delineate my declaration of guilt.

What more could I say to all but “See you
on the road-on the path-at the mountaintop?”
Keep looking at the sky, not because it’s falling,
but because THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!
