University of Malaya Toastmasters Club (UMTMC)

Meeting no: 174

Theme: Mothers Day.

Word of the Day: Sacrifice.

Joyous Moments Together

Mother’s day is every day, mothers are to be given due respect and love every day not

only one day a year. Despite that they have created one official day for mothers

all around the world and it’s called

"The Mother's Day".

Mother's Day is a modern celebration honouring one's own mother,

as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the

influence of mothers in society.(wikipedia)

Instead of holding big celebration and commemorating anniversaries,

seize any chance to express gratitude.

This is how we should consider Mother's Day.

The mother has a special place in a civilized cultures, so it is something good to do

to please mother and show gratefulness to her.

We should all be dutiful to our parents.

(Faysal, Yusaf and Ashoor.)
