Goals, also know as targets, objectives, the bottom line are so much part of our proffesional life as a compass is part of the life of an explorer. </span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Reflecting on my experience with goals I have often used them in each of the roles I took to set destinations from my journey, to struggle and to give my best to achieve them. It is trully fortunate and reassuring to have something to reach for, to always know if you are on the right track and be able to know how far you are from your goals.</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Lately I have trully realized that life has two sides. It doesn't gravitate all around my proffesional life in which I have immersed myslef into for the last years. Looking at my personal life which I have chosen to put first for the following year I have rarely enjoyed the benefits of having goals. Things for myself for which I strive so that at the end of the day I am a better man and more fulfilled. </span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Next year I have chosen to walk two journeys, one as President of AIESEC in Ireland and the other one just as Vladutz. For Vladutz till the 1st of July 2011 I will:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">1) Learn how to dance</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">2) Learn to speak Spanish</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">3) Learn how to cook</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">4) Keep myself fit </span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">5) Visit 20 countries</span><br /><br />Here goes! No point in beeing afraid of failure as even if I don't get there I will have had a great journey and learnings for other ones. Its test of my ability to organize myself, my determination and ambition to measure myself against myself.<br />If at the end of the day it's all only for the better. What's to stop me to put a destination on my life?Map the jourey to get there taking control of both my proffesional and personal life.Vladutzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09558658386593906004noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583182799804570716.post-24388764744497037322010-04-01T02:25:00.000-07:002010-04-01T02:32:55.081-07:00Hapilly ever after<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I understand now a little bit more about what it means. How can you be happy with your job and friends when you are not happy with yourself ? We spend most of our lives trying to fix little things around us when we should be looking at the only thing we can really fix, ourselvs. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Life in the end is not about shaping the people around you, rather shaping yourself in the best way you can be. Be happy everyday with yourself! It's the best thing you can do for yourself and for the rest of the world! The rest is concious choice of where you want to go and who you want by your side!</span>Vladutzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09558658386593906004noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583182799804570716.post-26678507029384175012009-12-16T10:42:00.000-08:002009-12-16T10:57:05.731-08:00The Wendsday before Thursday<span style="font-family: verdana;">Hello world,</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">And by that I mean everybody reading this blog, everybody not reading this blog and all who never heard of it. Sometimes is good to just say hello to those people in your life you wish to make smile or just remember as they were next to you when you needed them, maye you should also say hello to all the people you meet and don't know, who knows were your next friend is waiting for you.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">What is so special about today and the positive beat of the first paragraph. Well nothing much, it is just an average Wendsday before Thursday, a regulare office day like a lot of others. Unless you choose to make it special. The secret is to set a goal for the day( even a small thing) strive for it and once it's done you'll see it's a lot better. It can turn an ordinary day into something exciting if you make reaching that goal an adventure.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">My goal for today was packing up my backs for home before 8 o'clock. It may seem silly building a day around a moment when the bags are all packed up and ready next to the door, however if you play it like an adventure it will seem like one.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">How often do we play and make our days exciting with small things?</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">So world what is going to make tomorrow exciting for you?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Looking forward for a new exciting day.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Goodnight world. Meet you someday....</span>Vladutzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09558658386593906004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583182799804570716.post-88307150321780028512009-11-20T08:16:00.000-08:002009-11-20T09:12:54.012-08:00Proud of my teamDuring my AIESEC life I had the pleasure to work with 3 different teams. Every time it was a different and exciting experience. What is really exciting about changing teams is that every time you can start fresh, you can rediscover and challenge yourself within the team. However the more teams you change the least excited you are or trully apprecitate the gift of beeing part of group of individuals working together for a common purpose.<br />Today was hard to leave the office. It was 12:20, I was already late for catching the train towards Cluj, and everybody else was still in the office working for NPS and making sure that things happen. As I turned towards the door I couldn't help smile thinking about each one of them and the experiences that we had together.<br />I can't believe that we have worked together and shared an apartment for 9 months. I can not imagine a day without Iulian waking everybody us up with his ususal "Goood moooooorning" or going to the gym with the guys. Somehow my team has become a big part of my everyday reality that we build together as the MC of ROMANIA.<br />I know we are so different and then again this is what makes us unique. I know that each one in the team will always give 110% for making things happen and having all this in mind I can't stop smiling while thinking about it.<br />Proud to be part of this team and really happy I have the chance to wrok with them...Vladutzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09558658386593906004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583182799804570716.post-18440630848795535102009-11-10T08:34:00.000-08:002009-11-10T08:57:27.871-08:00The simple thingsApparently this blog was not meant to be updated constantly rather than in moments were the intensity of feelings is rushing trough myself. Last week was different, from all the other weeks in the MC. It all started on Friday when I went home and spent a week-end with my parents. I really don't remember when was the last time we talked about the small things in our lives and just hang out togehter. We managed to also play Catan which is a huge acomplishement considering that we haven't played anything together since I think 2 or 3 years ago. Monday and Tuesday I went to Cluj were I met my brother, my best friend from AIESEC and my girlfriend. A flower, a book, a coffee, random moments and all of them smilling. They are some of the most important people in my life and it felt unexpectatly really good to see them smile.<br />Beeing back into AIESEC Cluj is like a whirlwind and beeing chair for the 3SOME RTS is like a tornado in itself. When I entered AIESEC Adisor, the chair for my RTS, was half the reason I stayed in the organization and I hope I may have done the same for some of the new members. Meeting again Tzutzu mic, Vlad But, Cips, Ioana Sirca, Emil, Adi Rusu, Clau and Alec, people who in different moments in my AIESEC life have ment so much for me, showed me how valuable are those precious links to those people who are close to your heart and how easy it is to forget about them as we run trough life.<br />My greatest satisfaction was to see the smiles on everybody's faces when the conference ended, going trough the sugarcubes and seeing a happy faci team.<br />Beeing with Anda for this entire week was like I never left for Bucharest. It all felt so natural and so right. Jumping between faci meetings, plenaries or having random talks together over a pizza or a coffee felt like nothing bad could happen and out of all the things out there called life this is how it should be for us.<br />Right now I am on the train running from Cluj to Bucharest, where another world is waiting for me. Somehow I feel that for the last months I have been trying to keep this two worlds separate and felt like living two parallel lives. <br />Tomorrow I'll try to clash them and see what happens.Vladutzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09558658386593906004noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583182799804570716.post-45850697167037932692009-07-17T13:00:00.000-07:002009-07-17T13:10:08.794-07:00building up tablesThis is what we did yesterday night together with Ela, Cristi and Beldi in our new MC office. Since we are moving and budget allocating for this is 0 we try to make the most out of the resources we have. We used the pieces of wood from a book shelf drawer to build up 3 new tables. I believe we spent close to 4 hours working on this home-made project. I can tell you it is not easy to build up furniture but it can be realy great if you do it with the right people.<br />Having the satisfaction of a job well done we left the soon to be office at around 12 and I kept thinking about to things:<br /><br />1. There is no substitute for work regardless and no thing such as a free ride<br />2. If I ever want a cheap and awsome team-building we just have to sit together and "build our own tables"<br /><br />Hmm...this could be an ideea for furniture artisans for a second line of business;)Vladutzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09558658386593906004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583182799804570716.post-42473927210436773442009-07-13T13:11:00.000-07:002009-07-13T13:13:23.724-07:00The most important lesson in life<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">People are not toys</span>Vladutzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09558658386593906004noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583182799804570716.post-47944898912134884152009-07-12T11:56:00.000-07:002009-07-12T11:58:13.954-07:00same new blog<span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">One of the commitements I took this week-end was to keep this blog alive and well fed:) for me.

Living for AIESEC is an amaizing experience and very rewarding but it's not going to last for ever, while living with myself may take a while. In the last 2 days in Sinaia I got the chance to better understand myself and who I am, I got to see how the dots of my childhood experience are reflected in who I am today. I know the last posts where more about changes and theory about change rather than action. Somehow that's how I felt, I have passed trough a period in my lifetime where I was really great at telling people what and how to do but I forgot to experiment it for mysef.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">I want to stop living in fear of what might happen if or what do other people think about that because I really don't want to reach 30 and wonder why I haven't tried certain things or to realize that what people thought about it is not that big of a deal and they don't care that much.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">With this it starts and I will let time be the judge if I am able to make it happen how I really want and feel...</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span>Vladutzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09558658386593906004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583182799804570716.post-78738966956363810902009-01-27T16:23:00.001-08:002009-01-27T16:37:44.886-08:00On rules and limitations...The first ones are just made to regulate certain activities and tell us what a specific society thinks are the right behaviours. While the second one are the invention of people who at one point have stopped trying and just told the world it is impossible to go beyond a certain point.In life you have a choice to follow the rules of your society and stick to what other tell you it is the limit and you could live a happy life.<br /><br />I found out lately, like most AIESECers, that I am most of the time a misfit of the world around,challenging the system and the status quo. Looking deeper I believe it is a matter of choice. If we can choose the background of our gmail page and even our nationality why can't we just choose the society where the rules fit best who we are?<br /><br />In few words.The essence of 24 years of enjoying life and 10 lines above:<br /><br />1. If you don't like the rules break them, you only have on life so why don't live it by your own<br />2. Limitations are something that people tell you and have nothing to do with what you can achieve<br />3. Wake in the morning smiling that today you are going to make your own rules and set your own limits of achievementVladutzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09558658386593906004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583182799804570716.post-37008504064071292602009-01-26T12:43:00.001-08:002009-01-26T13:00:36.028-08:00On changes...They say that change is the only constant thing in our life and also somehow all the management literature has somehow consecrated that people cannot and should not change who they are. Accept who you are, focus on your strengths, you can not change.<br /><br />700 years ago people thought it was impossible to cross the ocean. 100 years later someone did it.<br />80 or so years ago people said it is impossible to land on the moon, 40 years later the first people were landing on the moon.<br />60 years people though it was impossible to run a mile underneath 4 minutes, 10 years later Roger Bannister did it.<br /><br />If we can prove that our paradigms, our physical abilities are nothing more than perceptions and limitations of our mind. Why can't we choose who we are as person? Why can't we change and re-imagine ourselves?<br /><br />Why wait 10 to 50 years for someone to say what I know today. Change comes from the heart, from belief and strong alignment with our actions. My choice today is, what someone is going to make a fortune in 25 years or so writing about it, to be the person I choose to, rather than who I was meant to be.Vladutzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09558658386593906004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583182799804570716.post-30234707064343351352008-12-06T12:05:00.000-08:002008-12-06T12:18:16.189-08:00Cleaning up...Right now the fate of AIESEC Cluj is beeing decided. The commission is counting the votes which will decide the next LCP and the determine the key factor in the transformation of the LC in the coming year. As minutes pass and votes are counted I am the only left in the empty plenary to finish up cleaning. Some one told me this days that cleaning out is like making order in your soul.Strangely I feel it...<br />I feel at peace with what happened because only what was meant to be will be.<br />Strangely I feel liberated and empowered to enjoy this moment as it is a celebration.<br />Every change is an opportunity for growth so after tomorrow a new chapter starts in the book of an already success story: FOAIE VERDE CLUJ.<br />Can't wait to open a bottle of champagne and celebrate:)Vladutzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09558658386593906004noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583182799804570716.post-87993277873211947842008-09-30T08:13:00.001-07:002008-09-30T08:21:35.721-07:00ups and downsIt is amaizing how our lives influenced by the things or people that gravitate around us.

How do you balance them in order to live a happy life.<br />As all things in life there are correct answers, only the right question for me, right now and exactly how I am feeling.<br />So what can

long learningI will start this post with 2 basic assumpions:<br />1. we only have one life to live<br />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<br /><br />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.<br />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.<br /><br />3rd assumption: living is a series of choices we make every day<br /><br />Building on the 3 the logical assumptions, and the smart quote I can come up with 2 conclusions of my own:<br />1. I only have one life to live<br />2. I will invest more in sharpening my abilities and beeing the best me I can be<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Just ask yourself: What have I learned today?Vladutzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09558658386593906004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583182799804570716.post-60125000363886288102008-09-17T11:27:00.000-07:002008-09-17T11:42:53.424-07:00beeing LCPI 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.<br />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.<br />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.<br />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.Vladutzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09558658386593906004noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583182799804570716.post-60859078169827921062008-05-31T11:34:00.000-07:002008-05-31T11:51:56.708-07:00for someone specialsometimes life caries you far away from that which you want to be. from that someone you are suppose to be in life. well that is not entirely true because it is our choices that determine where we are and where we are heading.it is easy to hide behind I couldn't do anything about it or it was not up time. even if, you fail, the first time you get up and do it the second time.<br /><br />well this post is about character. I believe that is one of the key ingredients to build a happy and successful life, it is your compass when your are lost, the mantle during storms and the moon in darkness. it is what makes you stay true to yourself when times are though, and odds are against you, when you pass trough doubt and ridicule. I admire people with character because I feel I lack my own, I don't feel strong enough or I just lack it.<br /><br />some say you are born like that, my heart says I can be like that, even if 23 years have proven me wrong I am not going to live to next with out. it may be painful but it will pass. it may be unpleasent at times but it will bring me happiness on the long run.<br /><br />this is to those special people in my life with strong character and a strong will. to those I admire and one day wish to be at least half the people they are. to Mali and Dutzu for what you teach me about who I want to be....Vladutzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09558658386593906004noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583182799804570716.post-15141582145366470492008-01-17T15:46:00.000-08:002008-01-17T16:19:43.675-08:00seeding flowers<a style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2373/2199992411_c5d10e4a22_m.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2373/2199992411_c5d10e4a22_m.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><img style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/acer/IMPOST%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">maybe it was fate for me to begin this new chapter in my life with such a moment where all hope and dream seems to be engulfed by anger and disappointment.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">assuming that life is a bare garden and we are the gardener it is up to us what we do with it. we can leave it bare and when the years have past and we as well turn into dust there will be nothing left behind; or we can choose to work the soil, to seed, to care and to love thus when we are gone our flowers will forever speak about us and remember our name.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">I stand before my garden where the flowers which I have seeded, cared and loved are buried underneath a landfall of suffering and disappointment. looking at the garden I can choose to dig trough layers of inner pain and disappointment in search of those flowers or I can start working the soil again, planting the seeds, caring and loving, growing new flowers to speak of happiness and hope.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">I believe we are all the sum of the choices we make. surprisingly my choices were the ones which have buried my flowers in the first place.
