My almost month-long adventure in Malaysia will get over in just few hours. It has been fun. Several months ago while buying tickets to Kuala Lumpur I decided to unite the chance of getting the cheapest possible tickets with a nice holiday before and after the conference. Back then I didn't know how good decision it was.
The AIESEC's 61st International Congress was an amazing congress. Full of great people, content, ideas, connections, friends. But what I feel that happens too often is what can be called "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" effect.
We go through amazing experiences but once getting back to reality we just continue doing the same things in a same way and getting the same results. That's a pattern which in a best case scenario can bring a nice growth until you reach the potential inside the current framework.
Until you stay in the current framework things are easy - we feel the joy of a nice growth, get confidence in our abilities to do the same things even more and better. Everything is secure.
I got hungry to revolutionize things. Break the common ways of thinking. That's why this reflection period before and after IC has been so useful. It helps to sort out what's really important.
I'm full of ideas and even more full of questions. Many people will hear from me next week the question of "how can we create new standards with this project?". We will think together and I do expect things to get to another level. So that future generations would be even more challenged to rethink what we were doing.
It's 4th of September and we still have 10 months to go.
If you feel somehow connected with what I said, I would really appreciate your comments/thoughts/ideas either through this blog or direct messages in twitter.
