All great achievements start with passion. Passion is what fuels everything. Passion is what motivates you and keeps you going. It is your unique lens on the world that shapes not only who you are, but who you connect with and what opportunities you pursue along the way.
Passion is what shapes your purpose in life and in business. When the idea for a venture or a cause starts taking shape, purpose is what ultimately helps define it. That shared passion, that shared belief, is what motivates people, gives them the sense of belonging and excites them about accomplishing the same mission and being a part of your movement.
Passion and purpose go hand in hand. When you discover your purpose, you will normally find it is something you're tremendously passionate about.

The success of our missions depends on people we partner with. No man is an island. The team or partners who shared the same set of beliefs, goals, and visions will work together, challenging each other and supporting each other everyday.

Alex was asked : Passion or money - which is more important? Being an experienced speaker, she cleverly articulated the thoughts about her choice of money, and concluded that passion will lead to more money!
Sivadas tried his luck to negotiate the 'easier' topic with the TTM, and he shared one of his successful story in his life; that was when he bagged the gold medal for 10 years service recognition award.
Chor Chee Hoe, the Immediate Past President impressed the floor by delivering the Ice breaker project (again) with the title "The original me". We know more about the origin of his name, his "sweaty palms" and his support for original CDs ("Buy original, listen original"). He left the audience mesmerised by ending his speech with a quote:
"You are born an original, don't die as a copy" - Chor Chee Hoe
Congrats to Chor Chee Hoe for winning the best speaker for project speech!!!

Our humourous speaker, Sylvia Tan caught 101% of the audience's attention by her dramatic shark attack story! What a miracle for Jane and Brian to survive from the unexpected shark attack! The moral of the story is that there is always hope in life.
FTMC was very grateful to have Jacky Cheng from WIM TMC as our general evalutor. He was impressed by our "friendliness" :) and simply love the cheering throughout the meeting. He has provided valuable feedback to us, and we hope to see you again!
