Good evening madam acting president, mr. toastmaster fellow toastmasters and most welcomed guests.
I would like to tell you couple of my brother stories since this project is focused on taking material from other source than my own experience.
So who is my brother? He is younger child of our parents. Actually 10 years younger. Athletic build, some people would say that he looks similar to me apart from my hair but I see too many differences this to be true. He is also traveler, daredevil and player. Not this kind that has every day different woman. He is working in casino as croupier.
He is incredibly lucky. I remember when he told me his story.
Brother I come to the city looking for jobs. I am sending CVs as if I really want to find a work and nothing. 10, 20, 30... And then somebody replied! Juhuuu. MC Donalds... And what amazes me, someone else replied. Casino. On one hand low status, low paid job, on other hand higher status, quite high paid job. What do you think I will choose? MC Donald? Of course not. I am still wondering how he is doing it. He works half the hours than me and has double pay. Possibly because I care about different causes then he is.
He also creates very good rapport. I donĀ“t know how he is doing it but he is great at it. Once he is telling me. Brother I took out this woman from casino. You saw her, she looks like model, she wants to work in TV. Yes, I know how did you do it? And my brother continues. And she brought two girl friends with her. What?
Another example is when he moved back to city where he had previously lived. Brother I came to visit my old manager and I am starting work in couple of days. I heard that you want to stop doing job in casino. Well... :)
My brother is still one of the most important people for me. He is part of the family and good friend. I learn from him, I try to guide him and support him and sometimes I am little jealous that I am not so lucky.
Well some people were born to work hard and some people were born to play hard.
