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.
700 years ago people thought it was impossible to cross the ocean. 100 years later someone did it.
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.
60 years people though it was impossible to run a mile underneath 4 minutes, 10 years later Roger Bannister did it.
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?
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.

Cleaning 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...
I feel at peace with what happened because only what was meant to be will be.
Strangely I feel liberated and empowered to enjoy this moment as it is a celebration.
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.
Can't wait to open a bottle of champagne and celebrate:)

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.

for someone special
sometimes 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.
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.
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.
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....
