ups and downs

It is amaizing how our lives influenced by the things or people that gravitate around us. There are those elements that simply lift u up and make you smile and those who can bring you down and break you.
What do you do when some can bring u down or lift u up in the same time? How do you balance them in order to live a happy life.
As all things in life there are correct answers, only the right question for me, right now and exactly how I am feeling.
So what can bring balance and a smile for me today?

thanks for believing in me...

from a dear friend, far from cluj, but with her heart always close to me and AIESEC Cluj

just lines from a random skype conversation...

be selfish

love yourself

ask for help

dream

dar in visele astea include si pe ceilalti

ptr ca asta va fi driveul pozitiv in fiecare zi

:)

ultima interventie din partea mea

daca as fi fost LCP in AIESEC Cluj

vreo-data

si as fi avut o ambitie care se cheama 100

pana in Decembrie

as fi al naibii de lenes

nu as vrea sa le fac in the boring way, nu de alta, da nu as putea

ca statisticile asa spun si nu se insala

le-as face in a kinky way

si le-as face bine

poate as face 90

tot ar fi ok

dar nu as renunta la ambitia asta

dar asta as face eu :)

te las acum, te pup si daca ai nevoie de ajutorul meu

stii unde ma gasesti

Life long learning

I will start this post with 2 basic assumpions:
1. we only have one life to live
2. when we lose everything, and we are naked and alone the one thing that matters is who we are as a person, what we know and are able to do

A smart guy I met at a conference, I recently attended, said it doesn't matter what you have but how fast you can make it back.
Building on the two assumptions and the smart guys quote I wonder what is my real value and what do I do every day to add more. What do I do to sharpen my abilities, learn more and be less and less dependend of the things I own knowing that I can (re)generate them due to who I am and can do.

3rd assumption: living is a series of choices we make every day

Building on the 3 the logical assumptions, and the smart quote I can come up with 2 conclusions of my own:
1. I only have one life to live
2. I will invest more in sharpening my abilities and beeing the best me I can be

and a smart quote, from not so a smart guy. Life long learning is a process and a matter of concious choice. Chose the opportunities that help you grow, enjoy the process and add more value to yourself, every day.

Just ask yourself: What have I learned today?

beeing LCP

I tell to everybody that it is the most challenging and best position that you can have in AIESEC. Since before becoming LCP I have often wondered if I would be a good LCP? Now I stand and ask myself how does a good LCP look like? Is a good LCP the one who reaches all his goals, is he the one who builds the best team, is he the one that creates the most change agents.
I have often found out that a good LCP is the person who can take the most punches and rise up, wipe "the blood" and the tears saying "Ok. I think we should...". Right now standing down and looking up I see people around me asking me to help them, while some kicking me back down and others just looking in other directions. Somewhere in the distance I see our objectives and image of 7 people on the beach in May.
My choice is to rise up, build one team and reach our goals for at the end I will not ask myself if was a good LCP, rather ask myself have I done everything possible to be my best as LCP? and then I will ask the people around if I was a good LCP.
For those reading the blog and thinking one day to be LCP just ask yourself: What will the people say about you when you finish your term.
