Toast master

Today is my first time to attend Amazon toast master. I was very much impressed by the quality of their speech. They are actually quite comparable with what I have heard from professional speakers, although clearly their concentrations were more on the tactics-side rather than the content-side.
I am humbled by their fluency in mastering the spoken language, body language and visual aids.

Word of day : quotidian.
derives from the Latin word for "daily" and refers to repetitive daily actions, events or routines - yet in typical usage carries a vaguely negative overtone. "Quotidian" is generally used to convey a sense of the mundane; that is, there is an implication of the 'commonplace' — often in the disparaging sense, and at the very least to indicate that there is nothing unexpected or surprising to be found in things quotidian.
