Words to Ponder

G

OVERNOR ELECT, Nutilia Simon is among the special brand of leaders that have emerged within the Caribbean District of Optimists. The St Kitts & Nevis native and member of the 20 year old Optimist Club of St John is a true Caribbean national with social, educational and professional roots spread across the Caribbean including Anguilla and Jamaica. Recognized for her outstanding services as a manager within the Caribbean airline industry Simon is offering Caribbean Optimists some words to ponder at this time. Read and reflect.

Words to Ponder

Sometimes we spend so much time thinking about what we don’t have that we are unable to do all that we can with the resources that are available to us. Sure your club may struggle financially but perhaps if we refrain from putting off a project or if we refrain from rejecting a project idea because it will take too much of our resources, we may be able to focus more on accomplishing something.

Why focus on the fact that your club was once twice the size that it is now? Why not work towards successfully completing a project that can be accomplished with the number of members that we do have.

Don’t give up the opportunity to help five children because you think that you should be able to help twenty. Make a difference, small or large. There is much that can be done when two or three true Optimists make success their goal. We have what we need fellow Optimists. Let’s start giving thanks for all that this District is blessed with and let’s press towards the mark.  Success is ours. Don’t be afraid to reach out and take it.
