Did you know that this iconic product was invented by accident.
It was Dr.Silver a 3M Scientist – His focus was to invent a Powerful, super strong adhesive. During the course of his research he invented this adhesive that stuck lightly but doesn’t bond tightly .
Now this is not what he really wanted . He could have claimed these useless or be disappointed .
Instead what he did was – he started preaching the gospel of his accidental findings to find a use case.
Days went on . But he didn’t give up . He continued presenting his research .
That even gained him a name: Mr. Persistent
Meanwhile, There was Dr. Fry a 3M Scientist who also sings in the church choirs. He is usually frustrated by missing the scraps of the paper used as bookmarks to practice the hymns . When he came across the presentations of the Dr. Silver that marked the birth of Post it Notes
Having said that , My dear fellow toast masters,
Post it was born out of Persistence and Perseverance
On the same line Toast master is a persistent community ; celebrating its 101 years ; having clubs across the world with more than 16000 clubs
In that persistent community is a perseverant cub – vTalk , our club oin its 13year journey nearing a huge milestone 500th meeting – that has developed charismatic leaders, great speakers and effective communicators.
Uncertainties were huge , but still we see the beauty in the uncertainty.
We continue surfing and thriving not willing to give up and stay persistent . Why not we give a big round of applause to everyone here who helps us to keep us going 🙂
<Let the audience clap and make some encouraging Noise)
Appreciation builds us better and Together we grow stronger
