title: Table Topic Master: Life of wind and rain description: On 2025-06-15 hosted a table topics session in Yulife club of Toastmasters. —

Dear Fellow members, Distinguished guests,

Good morning.

Today’s Table Topics session is inspired by the meeting’s theme—‘Rain and Memory.’ Rain isn’t just weather; it’s a metaphor for life’s challenges, renewals, and fleeting moments. Like wind and rain, memories can be gentle drizzles or storms that shape us. Over the next few minutes, I’ll invite speakers to share their stories, reflections, and wisdom tied to life’s ‘storms’ and ‘showers.’ Let’s embrace the unpredictability—just like improvising in the rain!”

“For newcomers, Table Topics is about spontaneous speaking. Here’s how it works:

  1. I’ll ask a question, then call on a speaker.
  2. You’ll have 1-2 minutes to share your thoughts—no preparation!
  3. Speak clearly, stay on topic, and most importantly—have fun!

Ready? Let’s dance in the rain of ideas!”

  1. “If your life had a ‘weather forecast’ today, what would it say?”

  2. “Share a memory where rain played a starring role.”

  3. “What’s one piece of advice you’d give your younger self to weather life’s storms?”

  4. “If emotions were weather, which one would you be—a drizzle, a hurricane, or something else?”

  5. “Imagine you’re a raindrop falling onto any place in the world. Where would you land?”

  6. “What’s something you’ve learned from a ‘rainy day’ in your life—literal or metaphorical?”

  7. “Sing, recite, or invent a line from a song/poem about rain or wind!”

  8. “If you could erase one ‘stormy’ memory or keep it as a lesson, which would you choose?”

  9. “What’s your perfect rainy-day activity?”

  10. “Finish this metaphor: ‘Life is like walking in the rain without an umbrella because…’”

What a wonderful downpour of stories! Thank you all for sharing your ‘weather reports’—some poignant, some playful, but all memorable. As we close, remember: life’s storms don’t last forever, but the lessons and laughter do. Let’s carry today’s reflections like raindrops into brighter days ahead. Give yourselves a round of applause!”

Thank you. Back to TMD.
